Most MLM income examples are based on a good idea that simply doesn’t work in real life: geometric progression. Geometric progressions (5 who sponsor 5 who sponsor 5, etc.) show the potential of network marketing and illustrate the power of duplication. Yet they do not account for the many factors of actual organizational growth.
In a geometric growth example of 5 who get 5 (ad infinum), one would end up with an organization equal to the ENTIRE population of the United States of America within 12 levels! Furthermore, one would end up with the entire population of the world (over 7 Billion People) within 14 levels! Considering how long network marketing has been around (over 100 years) this should have happened many times over by now, but it hasn’t. Why not?
Real organizations grow based on a variety of factors. These include but are not limited to your personal action, the development of leaders, and the leadership skills of those leaders. The company, product or service, and the ease of duplication all play into the long-term success of an organization. Other factors such as attrition (people quitting), lack of skills and distributor laziness are always working against the growth factors and can actually cause organizations to collapse over time.
Limitations of this calculator:
This calculator is based on observing over 1000 organizations, successful and unsuccessful, over a 15-year time frame. The organizations represented multiple network marketing companies. While this makes for a very realistic calculation of what is POSSIBLE, it is not necessarily what WILL happen for you. Only you can take steps to fulfill your potential!
Long-term calculation of organizational growth is rather like long-term weather prediction. It’s possible to get a general idea, but difficult to get an accurate picture due to the enormous number of ever changing variables. Keep in mind that much of what you get out of network marketing is based on what you put into it. This calculator is the first and only one to show this fact realistically.
How to use this calculator and what you should look for:
Click Here to use this calculator to help you assess the potential of your present level of action. One primary factor in the growth of your own business will be your level of action. The idea that you can make a lot of money doing nothing is false. You can make a lot of money in network marketing, as this calculator accurately shows, but how much you make will depend you how much you put in and for how long.
You will notice that with a certain level of action, it is entirely possible to create a growing and thriving network marketing business almost indefinitely. However, when you fall below a certain level of action and you will fail to gain momentum in your organization. Too high a level of personal action will result in a lack of leadership development, which will translate to a high dropout rate that will eventually destroy the business.
Use this calculator to determine what a realistic goal is for you. Use it to determine how long it will take you to reach your income goals and what level of personal action it will take.
Your success will ultimately rest on your consistent action over a longer period of time. Most people sponsor less than 1 per month and quit their MLM business by month 4. They move on to what they feel will be an easier opportunity. This calculator illustrates why this is a guaranteed road to long-term failure.
