If you’re serious about building a profitable business in network marketing, you need to learn this fast.
🚨 Most people fail because they waste time doing the wrong things.
I know because I made every mistake in the book when I was building my business.
I almost sabotaged myself before I even got started.
But after making every mistake possible, I finally cracked the code and built a profitable business—without the struggle.
Today, I’m going to break down the 7 biggest mistakes I made, so you can skip the struggle and fast-track your success.
🚀 Let’s go.
Mistake #1: Casting Too Wide a Net
(Aka: Trying to Sell to EVERYONE and Converting No One)
I was desperate to get sales.
So what did I do? I pitched anyone who had a pulse.
I spammed my offers to people who had zero interest.
I chased prospects instead of attracting them.
I wasted time on the wrong people instead of finding the right ones.
🚨 Reality Check: If you’re talking to everyone, you’re talking to no one.
What to Do Instead:
✅ Find Your Ideal Customer (ICP) – Not everyone is your buyer. Define WHO you want to work with.
✅ Speak Directly to Their Pain Points – Stop trying to convince people. Instead, show them why they NEED what you have.
✅ Focus on Attraction Marketing – Position yourself as the go-to expert so people come to YOU.
🔥 Big Takeaway: Instead of cold-pitching strangers, create content that attracts your ideal buyers to you.
Mistake #2: Consuming Too Much Advice (And Doing Nothing With It)
(Aka: Getting Stuck in “Learning Mode” Instead of Taking Action)
I didn’t know where to start.
So I did what everyone does…
📺 Watched YouTube videos
📖 Read blog posts
📱 Scrolled through LinkedIn, Instagram, Twitter
The problem? Too much advice led to paralysis.
I followed one guru saying “Do X,” and another saying “NEVER do X.”
I wasted months trying to make sense of conflicting strategies instead of just picking one and executing.
What to Do Instead:
✅ Pick ONE Mentor or System – Don’t get lost in the noise. Follow one person’s proven strategy.
✅ Stop Overthinking & Start Executing – Learning is useless without action. Do first. Tweak later.
✅ Track Your Own Data – The market will tell you what works. Test, adjust, and scale.
🔥 Big Takeaway: You don’t need more information. You need to take faster action.
Mistake #3: Trying to Be Everywhere at Once
(Aka: Spreading Myself Too Thin Instead of Mastering One Platform)
I thought I needed to be on:
📺 YouTube
🎙️ Podcasts
📧 Newsletters
🐦 Twitter
📸 Instagram
📱 TikTok
💼 LinkedIn
📘 Facebook
I was doing the most… but getting the least results.
🚨 Reality Check: Trying to dominate every platform at once = failure on ALL platforms.
What to Do Instead:
✅ Master ONE Platform First – Build an audience on ONE platform before expanding.
✅ Go Deep, Not Wide – It’s better to post consistently on one channel than inconsistently on five.
✅ Repurpose, Don’t Reinvent – Once you dominate one platform, recycle content for others.
🔥 Big Takeaway: Focus beats frenzy. Pick one platform, master it, then expand.
Mistake #4: Expecting a Big Announcement to Create Sales
(Aka: Thinking One Viral Post Would Make Me Rich)
I thought if I posted…
📢 “I just launched my new business!”
…people would flood my inbox with “TAKE MY MONEY!”
It didn’t happen.
I got tons of engagement… and exactly 1-2 sales.
🚨 Reality Check: People don’t buy just because you make an announcement. They buy because they see consistent proof, results, and authority.
What to Do Instead:
✅ Create Value DAILY – People buy from those who help them the most.
✅ Build Demand Before You Sell – Instead of announcing, show people why they need what you have.
✅ Use Testimonials & Case Studies – Social proof > self-promotion.
🔥 Big Takeaway: Selling isn’t about shouting… it’s about serving. Give value, and the sales will come.
Mistake #5: Selling a Course Before Selling a Service
(Aka: Selling the Wrong Offer First)
I thought selling a course would be easy.
🚀 “Just create it once and make passive income forever, right?”
❌ WRONG.
No one cared about my course at first.
Why?
Because a course is only valuable IF people already want to solve that problem.
What to Do Instead:
✅ Sell a Service First – Help people 1:1, get real-world experience, then turn that into a course.
✅ Let Demand Dictate Your Offer – If people aren’t asking for it, don’t waste time creating it.
✅ Validate Before You Build – Pre-sell, get interest, THEN create.
🔥 Big Takeaway: Start with a service. Scale with a course.
Mistake #6: Prioritizing Quantity Over Quality in Content
(Aka: Posting 30 Bad Posts Instead of 1 Great One)
I thought success on LinkedIn = posting as much as possible.
So I scheduled 30 posts in one day.
🚨 The result?
Tons of content… but little engagement.
Because people don’t want MORE content.
They want BETTER content.
What to Do Instead:
✅ Create Fewer, Higher-Quality Posts – One viral post > 30 ignored posts.
✅ Optimize for Engagement, Not Just Posting – Quality posts get shared, commented on, and drive leads.
✅ Test & Iterate – Learn what works, then double down.
🔥 Big Takeaway: 1 great post can do more for your business than 100 bad ones.
Mistake #7: Building My Brand in Isolation
(Aka: Trying to Grow Solo Instead of Leveraging Partnerships)
I thought I had to build everything from scratch.
🚀 “If I just post great content, people will find me!”
❌ WRONG.
The truth? Collaboration is the FASTEST way to grow.
What to Do Instead:
✅ Partner With Others in Your Niche – Do interviews, co-webinars, and collabs.
✅ Leverage Other People’s Audiences – Guest post, go live with influencers, and get featured.
✅ Make Relationship-Building a Priority – The bigger your network, the easier growth becomes.
🔥 Big Takeaway: Don’t build alone. Build with others.
