Today, I’m going to give you one of the negative things you deal with every so often as a top leader in MLM.

It used to piss me off.

Now, I just laugh it off and realize it’s all part of the game.

So here’s what happened…

A week or so ago, I got a Facebook message from a guy I don’t know, as I do pretty much every day, asking if I’m free to talk.

He doesn’t say why he wants to talk so I just ignore it.

Then yesterday, I got another message from him saying he wants to work with me in my network marketing company, tells me how he’s earned millions of dollars, built huge teams, etc.

After a 2-hour gym session last night, I drove my dripping wet self over to my mom’s (who was babysitting) to pick up the kiddos…

She lives less than a mile away which is an amazing blessing.

Ravenous, I come into the house – “LET’S GO EAT KIDDOS!”

Apparently they had been scheming before my arrival…

“Can we do Studio Movie Grill Daddy, Zara pleads?”

“I don’t even know if they’re open with all the Covid stuff honey.”

Swimming Pools into Bubble Baths

“Daddy, Daddy, can we turn the swimming pool into a bubble bath?” my daughters both nearly shout in unison as they run into my office yesterday afternoon with their little grins beaming ear to ear.

In a split second, my inner-dad-conservative-voice shouts to me “That can’t be good for the chlorine levels!”… “The pool filter isn’t meant for that!”

A split second later, my regular inner-dad-fun-voice says to conservative dad “Shut the hell up – let the kids have some fun!”

So I look at my daughter’s expectant smiles…

“That sounds AWESOME! Let’s do it – I’ll get my swimsuit on!”

No, I’m not telling you about my experience with Julie Evans from Kindergarten so don’t even ask! 🙂

But seriously…

Have you ever had someone say “I’ll take a look at your network marketing company if you’ll take a look at mine?”

It’s a question I got the other day from one of my customers asking if he should partake in this type of back-n-forth pitch process.

Here’s my take on it.

Don’t be a Kindergartener!

If someone wants you to join under them…

But is also open to switching companies…

How would you feel about them as your leader?

Does their flakiness inspire confidence?

I don’t think so.

As I settled into my writing and reading chair this morning sipping my coffee, I decided to pick up a book I’ve read multiple times…

The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason.

As I read through, the following paragraph struck me…

“Just so it is with the sons of men. Give them a choice of gold and wisdom – what do they do? Ignore the wisdom and waste the gold. On the morrow they wail because they have no more gold.”

Reading further…

“Gold is reserved for those who know its laws and abide by them.”
