Are You Running After MLM Success: Love is All You Need To Catch It

We were at church on Sunday and the pastor had just started the sermon and the first slide on the overhead projector is The Beatles album cover for “All You Need is Love”.

By this time, I am a little baffled at what the Beatles had to do with scriptures given their somewhat wild background. The scripture the pastor is talking about pertains to the meaning of love and what it really means. Most people associate love with romantic or erotic meanings. The kind of love the scriptures are talking about is unconditional whether it is your or someone elses feelings and ills.

The preacher starts to tell a story:

A lady is at her home with her young child and she hears the news that her elderly next door neighbor’s wife passed away the night before. She feels like she needs to do something for the elderly man so she begins baking him some brownies. About an hour later the brownies are finished and her young child offers to take them over to the neighbors and give them to him. The child leaves and goes next door. Thirty minutes pass, then another thirty minutes, and the mother starts to worry about her child. She heads over to the neighbors house and finds the elderly man in a rocking chair on the front porch holding her child in his arms. As she gets closer she can can see that they are both sobbing. She frantically asks what is wrong. The child looks up from the mans shoulder and says “Nothing mommy, I am just helping him cry.”

This story provides a vivid definition of the preacher’s lesson pertaining to the true meaning of love. When you feel someones pain as if it were your own, you have experienced true love. When I heard the tale and began thinking about the meaning, I had an epiphany of how this applies not only to mlm success, but success in our lives as well.

How do you know if you are truly successful in business and life? Is it by the size of your bank account, the amount of people in your organization, or the size of your house. NO. True success will come when you work with prospects and feel their pains and anguishes as if they were your own. If you don’t address this issue, you will never experience abundant accomplishment as people will see you as a fake.

If you are struggling for MLM success, look at what you are doing and how you interact with the people you come in contact with. Do you really and truly care about them and their pains like they were your own? If not, you had better reevaluate your chosen business and decide if you want to continue to struggle in this business or you might need to find some other profession.

Look at the market you are trying to focus on. Do you realize that whether you are in network marketing, MLM, or the Home business market that your success or failure depends on your relationship building skills and not your product or opportunity offerings? Stop writing headlines on your blogs, articles, or videos that focus on what your system can do. If you don’t you might as well find another source of income.

Become a leader and you will attract more people than you can handle. Take a real interest in how people are feeling and you will more problems handling the amount of leads coming to you than you will experiencing MLM success. Zig Zigglar said it best, “You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want!
