Prospect Compares Job Income to Network Marketing Income

Today we’re breaking down how business ownership is actually totally different from having a job.  

Has a new rep or prospect ever told you something like this?

“I make $10/hour at my job.  I just worked for a week to get a customer and only made $20!”

It sounds bad, right?  What do you tell them? 

As a business owner, your intent is very different from an employee.  (And you should be able to explain this to your reps and prospects.)

The goal of an employee is basically to make an hourly wage.

The goal of a business owner is to control their own destiny, to write their own future, to make their own hours, to earn pay raises when they want them…

Owning a business (any business) starts out slow and humble, but you get more efficient with each customer, and wealth accumulates over time. 

Upside Potential 

So, let’s talk about this:  Network Marketing income vs a job income.  If you get that one customer, a lot has happened.  And that’s really what this is about. 

If you serve and support that one customer, they may buy the same product again. 

• They may want other products that you offer. 
• They may provide a referral. 
• They may provide a testimonial; a video testimonial even better. 
• They may become a rep. 

As you can see there’s a possibility for so much more than just $20 because the customer is your asset, and that’s very different from a job. 

Each customer is stacking income on top of income. That is the main thing to understand. That is the reason business ownership is superior.

The Law of ‘Power of One’

Once you’ve proven you can get one customer you’ve proven you can do it again. 

You have the power of one in your favor. That means you can get 10, 20, 100 customers. 

You get more efficient with each customer. And that is one of the main things that I love so much about the Pipeline. 

If you’ve watched any of my other videos, you know the Pipeline is always key in every discussion, and it is because once you get that one, you now have all of the dynamics and you can keep on putting quantity of leads across the Pipeline and get more and more and more customers or more and more reps. 

You get more efficient with each one. 

The Law of ‘Power of Repetition’

Repetition is how you become better. 

You get more efficient with each customer if you apply the 80/20 rule. 

Remove 80% of the wasteful actions that it took to get that customer and only keep the 20%. 

That’s how you get more efficient. 

Repetition is the only way to attain mastery. 

Let’s take a second and dive into this concept.

Olympic Weightlifting Example

I was listening to an interview and there was a person who was interviewing a coach of an Olympic weightlifting team. 

The interviewer asked a very interesting question to the coach. He asked, “For someone to arrive at the Olympics and lose compared to the person who arrives at the Olympics and wins, what’s the difference in those two people?” 

The coach said something very interesting. He said, “The person who wins is able to do the repetitions.” 

In other words, just think of an overhead press or a bench press or a squat. All they’re doing is putting weights on and doing squats or overhead presses or bench presses, right? 

Those are reps. The more reps, the more reps, the more reps… in order to get to the Olympics and win. (versus lose) 

The coach went on to say, and this is key,  “The person who wins, that person is able to handle the boredom of repetitions better than the person who loses.” 

That’s the fundamental difference. If you can master repetition of the Pipeline, that is epic. That is how you attain mastery in Network Marketing.

That is how you win. 

When you are able to get a customer, you’ve got the power of one. 

Keep on doing it. You keep doing the reps, and you will get more and more efficient. 

You also apply the 80/20 rule so that you’re only doing the successful actions (reps) and you remove wasteful actions. 

Exponential Factor

In Network Marketing, you get the exponential factor. 

One customer may be $20 a month, two customers $40 a month…  

10 customers – $200/month… 

20 customers – $400/month…

…times you supporting your customers 

– May buy the same product again 

– May want other products

– May provide a referral 

– May post a testimonial 

– May become a rep 

So if they become a rep, you get that exponential factor of that in your organization.

That’s why I say it’s so much more than just getting a customer. 

Don’t Compare Apples and Oranges

So, why does an apple taste different than an orange? Well, the simple answer is, an apple is not an orange. 

And a job is not the same as Network Marketing or a business owner. 

The similarity of an orange and an apple is they’re both food. Business ownership is not a job. Their similarity is both provide income. And so that is what the person is doing, they are just measuring income. 

But they’re not the same. 

A business owner’s intent is different.  A business owner’s intent is to control their own destiny, right? Their own future, make their own hours, earn pay raises when they want them. Those are not available to just the employee. 

Compare a turtle to a hare based on speed, The hare wins. Compare the hare to a turtle based on self protection, the turtle wins.

If a person wants control and wealth potential, business ownership wins. 

If a person wants employee income, job wins. 

And here’s a little joke for you. You’ve got the turtle and the hare, and the turtle says, “Let’s race. First one home wins.” 

Rabbit says, “Deal.” 

So the turtle tucks himself inside of his shell (and is the first one home).

The rabbit says, “Dang it!” 

So that’s just sort of my stupid humor for no other way to say that both the turtle and the hare are right. 

I’m not here to say that between a regular job and Network Marketing/Business ownership, one is right and one is wrong. 

They are just two different things. 

When a business owner wants control that is the intent. That’s why a person starts their own business in any traditional sense. And in network marketing, they just want more control. They want their time. They want to control when they work, they want to control their income. 

I hope you can see that what I’m saying is they’re both fine.  So whether it’s an employee or a business owner each person gets to decide what they want.
