Business People who Don’t Know Business

I want to spend a few moments talking about business people who don't know business. You may in fact be one of those people. I sincerely hope you are not however, if you are, the only thing that can set you free is the truth.  If you've followed me on this blog for a while, you've seen me dive into this before. Not everyone in the MLM industry knows what they are talking about and this includes the Exhaled 'leaders' in most MLM companies.

I've had a post running on my Facebook for several weeks now; and almost no one comments. The reason is simple. Most business people don't know business.

Here's a short version...

... and the Crickets begin.

Mostly it's because business people don't know business.

On facebook, specifically, my network is largely comprised of friends, family members and ... people who claim to know business; you know, 'business people'. Unfortunately while I love the industry of MLM - the business model itself; the business people IN mlm are a far cry from Actual business people.

This is one of many reasons that MLM gets no respect in the business world. It's not because the industry is full of scams, pyramids, or rip-offs. You'll find that in so many areas of the business world that it makes no sense. To think this kind of foolishness is limited to traditional business models is simple minded at best. The world itself is full of corruption and it no doubt finds a way to crawl into all areas of life and society.

You should expect some of that to be in MLM too. However in the MLM world we are supposed to be working on growth. For many of you that means growing your financial literacy. That means starting to really work on thinking like a business minded person rather than an employee. The way network marketers CLING to mlm companies and pit each one 'against' the other is all employee mentality on display.

For example. The main social networking platform that people in MLM use is Facebook.

In the past few years you've also seen them venture into Instagram and Twitter too. But for 'some reason' - many are resistant to use TSU.

For me the answer is simple. It's because people in the MLM industry, for the most part are NOT business people.

They are business people who don't know business.

.... yea but that's none of my Business.
