I was reading an article yesterday that frankly surprised and upset me. Tamal Anwar shared what he felt where the top ten reasons people failed at Network Marketing. I wanted to address those issues, then discuss how the Sweet Life Team has overcome all 10 of those reasons and are helping people all over the world achieve financial freedom. Anyone who brings someone into Network Marketing without providing the tools, resources, and training to help them succeed doesn't deserve success and doesn't deserve to be a business owner.

According to Mr. Anwar here are the 10 reasons for internet failure.

1. Many people join MLM without knowing what MLM really is. Many times the uplines dont share the correct plan. MLM concept is very important, because you have to do this business with the plan. It is very surprising for a guest when he understand his job after he joined the business. Most of the time the distributor becomes negative for this reason. So make your plan clear to the prospect before joining him/her.

To make sure that all of our prospects and distributors understand the plan, we have produced detailed videos on our website that show potential clients exactly how the system works. We also provide training free of charge that lets them decide how they want to pursue prospects whether its via word of mouth, internet marketing, or both. Noone joins the Sweet Life Team without understanding exactly what is expected and what is provided to help them succeed in their business.

2. Lack of trust is another reason to fail in MLM. Many people don't believe in the system even after the joining. These people also don't believe sometimes in their upline. they assume that the company is a fraud and they have been cheated. This is why they can't keep focus on the business and their work, resulting these people to fail in MLM.

To overcome this fear and doubt we make sure every single one of our new distributors is contacted within 24 hours of signing up. They are introduced via youtube testimonials, personal phone calls, and documented facts to help build that trust and respect. In MLM you're only as good as your upline, and we have assembled at the Sweet Life a team that brings over 50 years of combined experience to the table. Alma Tuck has been in network marketing for 18 years, has built a downline with over 33,000 distributors, and has created a system based on that experience to help his team members succeed. Alma and the Sweet Life leaders are all experts and are vested in the success of their downline. The Sweet Life doesn't charge for their website, training, and support. The Sweet Life is built on Trust.

3. Another thing for MLM failure is lack of confidence. This is just like lack of trust. If a person has no confidence in himself or his upline he will fail at the business. Without confidence he/she can't talk to people or sell something. This is why many people leave MLM soon. Lack of confidence also comes after lack of trust in the system.

Lack of Confidence is a result of lack of training and experience. With support and training anyone can gain the confidence to sell the opportunity. When you are successful people come to you wanting to know what you do. When you have training and are confident in your system, you walk with an air of confidence that attracts other people. Sweet Life Team members are some of the most confident, and arrogant leaders in the industry. That confidence comes because they know every morning when they get out of bed they are helping other people achieve their financial dreams.

4. The greatest thing that effect on people are their negative surroundings. Your negative friends, neighbors, family will try to make you negative too. These people always say bad things about your system. If you spend a lot of time with them, you will think like them too! They will say that 97% people fail in MLM.

At the Sweet Life we surround ourselves with Positive people. Every new distributor is asked to put up a testimonial and share with others the success they have had. If someone is discouraged or struggling, they are immediately assisted and helped by their upline. We do our own recognition programs, team trainings, and getaways to give our team members a chance to bring some of those negative influences and turn them into positive support groups.

5. Many people fail in MLM because they don't continue it. People quit MLM after 6 months or after a year. The negative people and the pressure of work can cause people to quit MLM. Many people quit when they find they have spend a lot of money and have seen no return.

In the sweetlife organization we do everything possible to help you succeed. We track your progress in training so that if you're struggling we know what information is still available to help you succeed. We cannot help people who are complacent and not willing to help themselves, but we can watch, identify, and proactively reach out to people who are struggling and help them get back on their feet.

6. Many people don't care about MLM and the opportunities. Many people get complacent thinking that MLM is a short term make money quick industry. Although you can make money quicker in MLM it's not a get rich quick program. People joining MLM without a commitment to make it a long term priority will fail as soon as the next "promised quick buck" appears before them.

The Sweet Life team makes sure that you understand how to make money, how to do it quickly, but also what is required to succeed. Our training, our coaching, or support is designed to be a solution for people looking for long term significant income. Our team is trained, then goes through ongoing trainings each year. Network marketing is constantly changing and its a business that requires a lot of patience and sacrifice. We teach principles that help our team members make money in the long run.

7. Many people want to do this business and want to earn the commissions. They often work hard in the business, but the lack of a good upline, can destroy their efforts. This is a team business and you need the help of your downline with the support of your upline. Without an active upline, most distributors become inactive. This is why most of the new workers fail in MLM.

At any given moment the Sweet Team Leaders can log in and see exactly what is going on in the downline, as far down as it goes. We can see who is working, who is supporting, and who is complacent. We reward the hard workers and support those that are struggling. We build our organization based on merit and skills rather than politics and relationships. When you work and support in our organization you will be a leader. We will place people that need your leadership below you, so that you can teach and help them to become leaders too.

8. In some organizations there can exist a group of negative distributors who make the new distributors negative. These people always complain about MLM, uplines and the system.They try to tell you that the business doesn't work. They may have been struggling for years and will try to tell you that you wont be successful.

Any negative distributors in the Sweet Life will be supported until they are positive or "helped out" of the organization. Since our system is so effective we find very little if any negative distributors. Our organization prides itself on its organization, innovative approach, and positive leadership. Alma Tuck the Sweet Life Founder is probably the most inspirational, motivational, and optimistic guy on the planet. He has had ups and downs but always brings people around him up.

9. There are scams all over, many pyramid schemes alluding that they are MLM's. A person who has suffered from scams have a negative impression on MLM and sometimes struggles learning how to sell the business correctly. This is why amny people don't believe in real MLM companies and think these are scams.


People who get caught up in pyramid schemes often are looking for a get rich quick opportunity. The reason the Sweet Life Team chose Xocai as the organization to help build and grow is because of its track record. The Sweet Life combats this problem by being transparent. Alma Tuck will tell you things just like they are. He would rather have you understand what is required to succeed and walk away,then have you join our team without understanding the commitment you're making.

10. Many people recruit others by telling them how easy MLM is. They also modify the real plan and lie to the prospects. This gets people signed up, but they are not retained for very long.

In the Sweet Life we focus on honesty. MLM is not easy, but with the right training and support, it is easier than probably any other business you could become involved in. We share the plan on our website, the same plan is shared on the websites of our distributors. This way everyone understands compensation, understands expectations, and is solely reponsible for their success or failure.
