The $9.92 Commission Check That Made Me Leave My MLM Company

I was involved in an MLM company for two years when I decided to go a different direction. I was paying a monthly fee to keep my business up and running, but the tiny commission checks that my network marketing opportunity paid me simply weren’t making ends meet.

I had a reasonable amount of success in my network marketing opportunity. The best thing I took away from my business was knowledge and experience. This has been very useful in the business I’m currently building, although my current business model is altogether different except for the fact that leadership, training, and expansion of knowledge are crucial keys to success.

If you’re a veteran to network marketing, you know one of the biggest letdowns is opening a check from your company and having it be so tiny, it doesn’t even fill your gas tank halfway. And if you’re new to the industry, this is something you have to be ready for. It’s your business, and you get out of it what you put into it.

I was on the fence about staying with my MLM opportunity, and there were a lot of factors pulling me in different directions. I had put a lot into my business, and I didn’t want to throw in the towel. On the other hand, the leadership in my opportunity seemed to vanish, and the so-called “training” calls were nothing more than hype and dollar figures.

I started to feel like a math teacher who becomes frustrated with one of her students because they always provide the right answer, but can never provide the way they obtained that answer. I was constantly being told that I’d be making handfuls and stacks of money on every call I listened to. But these people NEVER told me how to do it. I was left to my own ideas and solutions.

I wanted to quit my “9 to 5” job and go full-time in the industry and pour my time, heart, and soul into my business. But the tiny commission checks weren’t allowing me to do so. And because I was confined to a J-O-B five, sometimes six days a week, I couldn’t devote the time necessary to justify leaving my job behind.

So I was at a crossroads…stay the course or start a new business I had been researching?

Then, I opened the mail one day, and a commission check had arrived from my company. I opened the check, and the amount of the check made the decision for me. The check was in the amount of $9.92.

It was at that point that I knew I could never reach the goals I had set for myself if I was getting a check for under $10. I knew it was time to make a move.

So I quit MLM and started a brand new opportunity. And I could not be happier with the decision I made.

In my new opportunity, I found exactly what you need to succeed in this industry: Leadership, training, and a chance to build a business that generates money in a much quicker fashion. I no longer have to worry about tiny commission checks, holding meetings in my home, pestering my family and friends, and having my downline leave me for the next big pre-launch to hit the marketplace.

The decision to attack my business on a full-time basis was mine to make, and I decided to go for it because I was given the vehicle to do so. I had my fill of dead-end jobs that barely paid the bills and made me completely miserable, so I knew the time was now.

One of the biggest draws about the network marketing industry is the ability to work the business part-time while still holding a job. But you should never expect millionaire results if you’re only working your business a couple hours a week.

If you’re serious about making a living in this industry, it’s important you know the facts. At all costs, you want to avoid the MLM struggles that prevent so many people from tapping into their potential and creating the lifestyle they’ve always wanted.
