How’s business going? If you were to answer this question, I hope that you would say “Business is great! I’m growing everyday…” But what about the other 97% of the people who fail in MLM? What are some of the biggest factors that hold people back from succeeding in this industry? Well, I can outline a few of those right now:

Procrastination

This is a big one because most people just flat out don’t take action. They get all caught up in the “Hype” when they first get started, then everything just slowly dies down and they come to a realization that MLM is not easy…

Lack of Direction

What is with all those spammy links that I get from people every day on Facebook…

Crappy Systems

Some marketers work countless hours every day just to sponsor one person into their MLM Company. This is mainly because they don’t have a system in place or the systems they’re using just don’t convert…

In Prosperity,

This post really hit home for me, Keyanna. I’ve been in the MLM industry for a few years now, and it’s so refreshing to see someone address the issues that many people struggle with but are often afraid to admit. Procrastination has been my biggest challenge, and I love how you emphasized the importance of taking action. Your insights about the systems are spot-on as well. Thanks for breaking it down and providing such actionable advice. Keep up the great work!

A quick aside

You have been paid late before

You have watched the number on the dashboard not match the number in your account. What is different now is simple: it settles on a public contract you can check yourself, not a dashboard I control.

Most participants earn little to nothing. No income is guaranteed. You can verify every payout on the public smart contract.

I’m finding it hard to believe that someone could recruit 1,800 people into their MLM business in just two years. While I respect the hustle, is there any concrete evidence or a case study that backs this claim? I’ve tried countless systems and followed the usual advice, but the results have been lackluster at best. I’m curious to know if there’s a way to see real proof of the strategies you’ve mentioned. This post is interesting, but I’d like to see the numbers before I jump in.

Thanks for this informative post, Keyanna! I do have a few questions, though. You mention My Lead System Pro as a proven system, but I’m curious how it compares to others like Elite Marketing Pro or similar tools. Also, when you talk about David Wood’s Perpetual Funnel System, is that something accessible to beginners, or do you need to have a lot of prior experience? I’d love to hear more about how these systems help with automation and scaling commissions.

While I appreciate the effort you put into this post, I have to disagree with some of the points you made. The way you’ve portrayed MLM makes it sound almost too simple once you overcome procrastination and get the right systems in place. In reality, there’s much more to it—like market saturation and dealing with competition. While systems like My Lead System Pro might work for some, they’re not a universal solution. I’d have liked to see more depth on how to deal with challenges that persist even when these systems are used.

Wow, Keyanna! I had no idea you were so deep into the MLM world. It’s been ages since we last caught up. I really enjoyed reading this post, especially the part about crappy systems—it’s something I’ve been struggling with myself. Let’s grab a coffee sometime soon and catch up on life and business. I’d love to hear more about how you’re implementing these systems into your own business. Give me a call when you have some time!

Reading this post reminded me so much of my own journey. When I started in MLM, I was exactly the kind of person who procrastinated and struggled to stay focused. I kept jumping from one opportunity to the next, thinking the grass was greener somewhere else. It wasn’t until I started using a proper system, like the one you mentioned, that things began to click. Now, I’ve streamlined my approach and seen a huge difference in my results. Thanks for sharing your thoughts—it’s good to know I’m not alone!

I completely agree with your points on the importance of having the right system in place. Something that has worked really well for me, aside from My Lead System Pro, is Funnelizer Pro. It’s another fantastic tool for automating lead generation and building out sales funnels. If anyone is looking for an alternative to the systems mentioned, I highly recommend giving Funnelizer Pro a shot—it’s user-friendly and extremely effective for MLM marketing. Thanks for the post, Keyanna!

Keyanna, this post really opened my eyes to some of the mistakes I’ve been making in my MLM journey. I’ve always known that procrastination was holding me back, but I didn’t realize how much of a difference a good system could make until now. Your breakdown of the importance of direction and having a proven system was exactly what I needed to hear. I’m definitely going to look into the tools you’ve recommended and make some changes to how I approach my business. Thanks so much for sharing!

Most affiliates earn little, and that is disclosed up front. The difference here is not a promise about what you will make. It is that you can verify every payout yourself, on a public contract, in about twelve seconds.

I spent twenty years in this business, including the years I got it wrong, broke, living out of a van. Here is what I learned: the people who make it build the thing, and they do not do it alone. That is why I run a free community where we do the work together.

  1. All three of these — procrastination, no direction, bad systems — assume you have long enough stretches of time to notice which one’s the problem. When you’re working in forty five minute windows between a shift and bedtime, they blur into one thing: not enough runway to tell what’s actually broken.

    1. Cass, from the company side, ‘crappy systems’ usually isn’t a systems problem at all — it’s a field support problem. A system fails when the person who built it stopped being available to fix what breaks in week three. I can’t speak for every company, only the ones I’ve seen from inside, but that pattern held more often than not.

      1. Renata, that tracks with what I’d want to automate first, actually — not the pitch, the check-in. A scheduled message at week three, when the post says things usually die down, would catch more people than any system upgrade. Surprised nobody builds for that specific week.

    2. Cass, sorry if this is a silly question but I’m newer than most of you here, and I’ve been assuming ‘lack of direction’ was my whole problem, but reading your comment I wonder if what I’ve actually got is a time problem wearing a direction costume, if that makes sense.
