Home Party Plan Businesses.

They are easy to start, and a fun way to get out and meet people, perfect for the work from home mom, but, make no mistake about it, they are a business.  If you do not treat it like a business you will fail.  The lure of most Home Party Plan Businesses, is simple; they are cheap to start and most people are already using the products and love them, so, they figure why not sell them and make some extra money. 

If it is such an easy business to start and inexpensive, why is that most people do not stay in these businesses very long?  That will be the focus of this blog.  Is it really that hard to make it in the multi level marketing business, or is there an easier way to grow your home party plan business?

95% of MLMer’s will give up on their dreams in the first year of starting their business!

Many will quit in just three months. Why?

Most new independent beauty consultants are excited and terrified when they sign their initial contract. Three months later, the excitement is gone, replaced by the knowledge that the product does not actually sell itself, as they have been told. Within their first year, they give up altogether.

Many reasons are given to explain why a person gives up on themselves and their dreams so quickly. The reason I have heard most often for why people give up on their dreams so quickly, is “I couldn’t make money fast enough, or, I thought it was going to be easier.”

They thought they were going to get into this and it was going to be so easy.  Someone told them, you don’t have to sell, just share with people our opportunity and they will want it. Unfortunately many believe this line and it is simply not true.

They are told about million dollar yearly commission made by some beauty consultants. While this is true, those making that commission did’t sit on their laurels waiting for the product to sell itself. I will explore many different options here to help you achieve success in your own Home Party Plan Business or Multi-Level-Marketing (MLM) business. 

First lesson:  Don’t rely totally on your upline for information to make your business grow.  Your upline will tell you, “Why reinvent the wheel,” or “It has worked for 50 years now, stick with what works.” Honey, it’s not working!!  That is why the failure rate of most multi level marketing businesses is so high.  Hopefully others will post here telling of their successes and well as failures so we can all learn from them.
