Discover an important Network Marketing tip: it's not hard work that will get you to the top.

Here’s a simple Network Marketing tip. It's not the amount of work you do that will get you to the top, it's how smart you work.  In fact hard work can actually stop you succeeding!

Imagine you went out into a field every day and just dug holes.  Now this is really hard work, but unless you accidentally came across some buried treasure it’s never going to make you money.  Isn't this rather like the numbers game of ‘throwing mud against a wall to see what sticks’ that so many people recommend in network marketing? See my post on the numbers game’

Another way in which network marketers work far too hard is by chasing down, persuading, motivating and pressuring to join their business, anyone they see with half a pulse! Then when one of them signs up and does nothing, they end up having to be chased, phoned every day, e-mailed, and contacted by any other means that come to mind, in order to try to get them working.  Yet they still don't.  As Kim Klaver says, “If you have to carry them over the starting line then you’re certainly going to have to carry them over the finishing line.”  Why bother?

At the core of this Network Marketing tip is a simple idea. Working hard is not attractive.  How are you going to attract people into your business if they see that you are having to work exceedingly hard?  They already probably work very hard so why should they join you? 

So stop working hard and start working smart.  The new MLM paradigm is all about working smart.
