Last week as usual we were having our weekly internet network marketing training. It was a rainy night and everyone was coming in late and drench. For some, a rainy day was a good excuse for not turning up for training but for those that show up that day, they did not want to be left behind.

Our training went on with a slight difference in approach (I’ll share with you more of that in the next few days). Instead of focusing about how to market online, we are going give a twist to it. I’ll share that in a few days.

You must be wondering about the blog title… “Where Are My Monthly Commissions?”

That’s what I’m going to talk about today. During the training break, a nice man approached me and ask if I could lend him my laptop so that he could show his prospect about the business system and model. Being a nice guy I was (No kidding, I can be nice and nasty =) …), I lend him my laptop for awhile.

He went on to show his prospect about the program and system… and when he went on to show his prospect “the commission section” he has got nothing to “brag” about… the commission page has ZERO amount. I’m not teasing him… But it’s what he said later I want to put across to you.

So he asked me politely where were his monthly commissions and how come he wasn’t paid. I took a quick look and told him that he had done nothing so there were no commissions.

“But, I have 9 active spillovers on my left leg”, he said. That still won’t count because of our business model and commission plan he did not even make the less requirement.

That wasn’t a nice thing to show a prospect. Yes I know, your income doesn’t determine your future successes, but still it wasn’t a nice thing to show. What surprised me most was… he told me that he was waiting for his upline to explain the gist of the business since a year ago. You mean that for the pass one year he can’t take the initiative to ask or do his own research?

He wasn’t ready for business at all.

My point for sharing this story with you is to let you know that if you want to be in network marketing, you have to be responsible for your own success. Because no one will except yourself. Don’t put the blame on anyone. If your upline has no time to go through with you about the business because he is too busy or he simply don’t bother, move on and find some one else. You don’t have to wait for a year. When there’s a will, there will be a way!

He thanked me for the laptop and walked away with his prospect into the corner of the corridor. Well you can guess if his prospect join him in the business.

Have a great weekend.
