No Matter How Fast You Run, You'll Get Nowhere on A Treadmill

"Hit the ground running!"  a popular term boasted in the MLM industry, while a very important aspect of growing a strong business, many don't realize that while they are indeed running, they are running in place.

Being on the MLM Treadmill is like staying in "The Safety Bubble" or even like going full steam ahead while attached to the dock.

Now running on a treadmill would seem like progression, one is taking action 'steps' correct?  Yes, and no.  You see, there is motion, but the steps, they are not getting anywhere. 

Don't get me wrong, it's a 'step in the right direction' but what often happens is the runner says "I'm just not going anywhere.  My business is not growing.  Nothing is happening..."

While running in place can be a valuable training tool for someone who is getting on the treadmill every day at the same time, running the same routine.   They will  indeed build stamina, they may go more miles, at a faster speed, even at an uphill angle.  But at the end of the run, they are still in the exact same spot.

The key to this industry is to move forward daily, even if it is just a step or two, you have to get from there to here and the only way to do is is by taking the steps inbetween.

When you find that doing the exact same thing, day after day is not working, what choice are you going to make?  The necessary choice would be change.  While spending some time on the treadmill may be valuable in the beginning, growing, perfecting, building stamina.  We each need to know when it's time to hop off and start moving forward!

If you feel you are stuck on the MLM 'treadmill', what's YOUR NEXT STEP?
