I started the day out yesterday with the most terrible news I could have possibly received from a very good friend, Oliver Tausend. His network marketing company just made some major changes which had devastating results for him and his family.
Just a few weeks ago I was so excited for him when I saw his Facebook Timeline Cover that read ?Finally successful in Network Marketing? or something to that effect. I was elated and happy that he had hit the breakthrough he so very much deserved. This is what we are all shooting for, that we finally see the rewards of our hard work, isn?t it?
And then disaster strikes ?
?
How do you prepare for that? How do you prepare for the devastating news that your company merged with another and is no longer available in your country? Well, you can?t because you don?t have control over that. Although you are building a business of your own, it really doesn?t belong to you. It still belongs to the company that you are building. The management of that company can make changes any time they want to. They don?t have to ask your permission. (Also read:? If You Have a MLM Home Based Business This Will Scare Your Socks Off.)
Shattered Dreams?
?
So what do you do when your network marketing company makes major changes that affect you negatively or even put you out cold, like in the case of my good friend?
Your first reaction would probably be disbelief, followed by disappointment and anger and thoughts of throwing in the towel. These are all natural reactions when something like that happens. Something breaks inside of you and those little voices of ?I told you so? creep up in your head. Doubt sets in. Your whole life, your hopes and dreams lie before you shattered.
I know how it feels because it happened to my husband and me several years ago. We were both very angry and thought of giving up on network marketing altogether. My husband maybe more so than me. But it wasn?t the network marketing industry that failed us it was a company that was part of the industry.
I love this industry and everything it stands for. It wasn?t always so though. I was one of those naysayers and doubters before, and once I told my husband ??If you ever get involved in one of those ?things? again, I am going to leave you.? And I was dead serious!
But then I did some research and I found that?the network marketing business model is the only business model where ordinary people can achieve extraordinary success. Based on their own individual efforts of course. There is nothing out there like it. That?s why Robert Kiyosaki calls it ?The Business of the 21st Century.?
?
Starting over?
?
So quitting the industry was not an option for us. We just needed to pick up the pieces and find a new home, a new network marketing company that we could trust and be proud to be a part of. That?s easier said than done though sometimes and I for one am a person who holds on to the pile of shattered pieces way too long.
But, I finally did let go and joined my husband in a company that is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. A good and solid company with a great management team and one that I have never heard a single negative comment about.
There are many good network marketing companies out there.? Remember, when God closes a door He always opens a window.
?
The best advice I can give to anybody
that happens to is this:
?
Don?t give up on network marketing! ? The company that failed you was just one company of many that make up the whole of the network marketing industry. Yes, there are a few bad apples out there, and sometimes good companies make some bad choices too. ?But there are many, many other good companies out there.
Don?t rush into anything! ? Evaluate your options and make a decision only when your mind is clear from anger and disappointment. Decisions made under extreme circumstances or stress and anger are never good ones. Listen to your inner voice it will lead you in the right direction.
Fight of the vultures! ? Oh yes, they are out there and they will certainly bombard you with offers to join them in their deal, which is the biggest and the bestest on the planet. Yeah, right!
And last but least remember, that the skills and knowledge you gained while with the company that failed you are skills and knowledge you can take to your next company to build upon. You haven?t lost anything, you are just temporarily derailed.
As heart-breaking as this experience is, it is just another stepping stone to success. You will emerge bigger and better from this. If you love network marketing then don?t quit! Find another company and start over!
As always I would love to hear your feedback on this. So please make some noise in the comment section below. Thanks!

To Your Massive Success!
