You hear and read this all the time. On sales pages, webinars, teleseminars, infomercials and very often network marketing presentations. Anyone can do it. “My 80 year old grandma can so can you” or some variation. Have you wondered how true this saying is?
I’m probably guilty of using that line a couple of times, but recently this kinda got under my skin. You see, I’m involved with two products that are sold primarily through network marketing. I’m in it because I want to use their very good product. Not build a business. I already have a business thank you.
Simply put, the ‘uplines’ wants you to succeed (so they can succeed of course), and that’s OK. But what happens when you’re just not cut out for the job?
I’ve been told by many a good network marketer that a successful network marketer is also one who can teach well. The ability to pass on knowledge to your downlines so they can duplicate it is fundamental. I believe and agree. But you know what? Not everyone is born to be a teacher.
Yes, there are some things anyone can do. But there are others that require a special personality, a different outlook in life, a different stroke. So, no. Not everyone can do everything (or network marketing in this case). How boring would our world be if we can all do what everyone else can.
