97% Of Network Marketers Fail in Business. FALSE STATISTICS!
Network Marketing Success: I was blown away by this post, as I thought to myself ‘yeah, thats true’…with a glee on my face. So, here I am sharing it with you by my most awesome husband
Firas Abouzeid:
Network Marketing Success and True Statistics
Do you believe that 97% of Network Marketers Fail? While this statistic also applies to business ownership in general, I’m framing my point around the network marketing industry and the truth behind network marketing success.
I challenge this statement with full conviction that its fallacy is born at inception. What on earth do I mean? Thousands and millions of people decide to set up their own business, get into the part time opportunities or leap into network marketing because they see it as a solution or a means to achieve something, a goal or a dream-to reach network marketing success. Most people don’t get into this sort of thing for fun or entertainment – we’re in agreement so far, right?
Network Marketing Success and the Reality
Now, an obvious and almost a wallpapered fact is that Network Marketing is a BUSINESS – yes it is! And, Network Marketing Success is not a magical get-rich-using supernatural powers, pills or even by really-wishing-hard-to-succeed scheme!
What this means is that you need to approach your intent to generate wealth in Network Marketing and pave your network marketing success the way humans approach setting up any normal successful business. While the working details may differ at a macro level, the big idea still applies! I know I’m still stating the obvious – but it helps build my case!
Now, in most people’s minds they are in business once they sign up as a rep (in the case of network marketing) or when they obtain a trade license or open a store or do whatever signifies to them that they are in business.
I have a fundamental problem with that. Why?
See, you’re not in business until you’re in business.
What the heck? Well, until you actually do what it takes to setup and work a business YOU’RE NOT in business!
What you have is simply the INTENTION to be in business.
Network marketing Success and your ‘aha’ moment
While not an exhaustive list, the following are examples of key elements that need to be in place before you can claim you are in business and truly speak of network marketing success;
- Have a crystal clear purpose for the existence of your business and your motivators – truly be able to address your WHY without thinking about it! (KNOW YOUR WHY’S READ HERE).
- Crack the winning mindset. Volumes have been written on this subject. (A Formula that works).
- Secure a clear plan for your work with SMART goals ..etc. Define The strategy and actions you will take to achieve your goals.
- Be SERIOUS – Work your business with the as much seriousness as humanely possible and NOT as a hobby or a thing that you get to when you feel like it
- Be CONSISTENT in all your actions – Company shopping, key-strategy hopping and the next new gotta-have whatchamacallit will not be the secret to your success. You are the opportunity – accept it and work it.
- Ensure that you have a team that you work with closely, tightly and honestly. Solo-riding cowboys do not last in network marketing!
- Like I said, while the above is not intended to be a comprehensive all-you-need-to succeed in business blue-print, it is an indication of some key ingredients required to succeed, ones that are most often talked about but never really achieved!
Only when you secure all the above (along with a few more elements), you are eligible to say that you are in business – whether it’s part time or full time.
These are not nice-to-haves, these are the core elements required to qualify a business.
Once you apply the above filter, you will eliminate the majority of people who THINK they are in business.
Now with that in mind, the statistic should read: “97% of those who think they are in Network Marketing Fail!”
Isn’t that a little different? Hell yeah!
If we revisit the original statement, numbers will not only change dramatically – it could potentially read: 3% of Network Marketers Fail!”
So, really…be smart and set yourself up with the right team that can help you succeed in Network Marketing. It is never about the company, it is always about the leader you will become, the CEO of your dreams. Join us as we expand our network.

Suha – I loved this post because you hear this statistic branded around so often (heck I’ve even used it myself!)- and you are ABSOLUTELY right. Many, many people join network marketing just to earn an extra couple of hundred dollars a month – does that class them as a “failed business” when actually they achieved what they wanted to? Hmmmm definitely blows that statistic out of the water doesn’t it. Thanks for sharing this inciteful post.

You are absolutely right that you must treat your business as a business, NOT as a hobby to achieve any success. It doesn’t have to be in network marketing. Thanks for sharing Suha!!!!!

I like the way you draw your perspective,success is indeed relative. Thanks
Totally. Its such a great industry, its time the truth comes out.
Great perspective Suha, quitting is one thing, never getting started another. And most important, Businesses don’t fail, plans do. Unfortunately too many people lack the drive to formulate a new plan (as many times as it may take) and persevere.
Loved the direction you took with this.

So glad to hear this Suha – with the right mindset and steps in place the success rate can be a lot higher. Network marketing like an other brick and mortar business requires time, committment and constant tweaking, oh and did I mention hard work at times.
thanks for sharing

Nice connecting with you Suha.. You’ve got a nice blog and great content too. Let’s stay connected. Cheers.
Thank you Siddarth.
I personally don’t think people fail at MLM, they simply quit. Just like they quit, high school, college, a relationship they decide it is not worth the effort and they quit. And what happens next they complain and blame everyone and every thing else. They FAIL to take responsibility…just my 2 cents.

I agree, people do not fail they quit. Unfortunately it is in our societies DNA to blame someone else for our own short comings. great post Suha!
Great post, Suha. You are so right on with your A-Ha moment key elements. There is so much to define before getting into an MLM that people clearly don’t understand. Quitting MLM before really getting started is what is driving the number of “failures” up so high. That’s part of the presentation and follow up process that we as marketers need to be more cognizant of. Too many would be MLM’ers are filled up with false hopes. This hurts the industry in general. Thanks for sharing.

Suha! Loved this one! What is the true definition of failure? This, I believe,is different for everyone! You may consider yourself a failure if you don’t make $10,000 per month through your Network Marketing Business, so you decide to hang up your hat. I may consider myself a success and keep plugging away at it, making little money, as long as I am helping other people change their lives and move forward in a postive way! The TRUE definition of failure within this BIG PICTURE lies within each of us! We only truly fail when we QUIT! Thanx for the insight Suha and Firas!

Suha… Great article, it’s funny most people think they are in business when they purchase their starter kits, what they don’t realize is the key points you share in this article. Thx
Suha, I love the paradigm shift in thinking about network marketers fail rate. People forget their “WHY” they got into the business or go into it with expectations of an Easy button. Thanks for bringing it to light!
