One of the biggest differences between watching YouTube videos about network marketing and actually building a team?
You quickly realize that business models and markets matter—a lot.
It’s easy when you’re “ideating” to dream about hitting the top rank, recruiting a massive team, and creating an income stream that pays you forever.
Then you start playing the game.
And you think, “Hmm… if I actually want to build a $1M/year business, how would I do it?”
All of a sudden, relying on signing up 500 personal recruits looks very different than mentoring 50 leaders who each build a thriving team.
When you’re just reading, watching, and planning, your brain doesn’t ask the real questions, like:
✅ Where do I actually have a unique advantage in this industry?
✅ What’s the most efficient way to leverage that advantage?
✅ How many potential customers and recruits are really out there?
✅ How will I actually attract and keep them?
Why Most Network Marketers Get Stuck
I don’t like looking backward, but if I could go back to when I started in network marketing, I would have focused on the right things sooner.
Because everything changes when you get in the field.
✅ You stop thinking about just getting “anyone” into your team and start attracting the right people.
✅ You stop chasing quick wins and start building for the long term.
✅ You stop focusing on “what’s working for others” and lean into your own strengths.
The #1 way to level up your thinking in this business?
Spend time with people who actually understand how to win.
The moment I did?
Night and day difference.
Now, we’re building something real.
