Legitimate Network Marketing: Are you a real Entrepreneur?

Most people who begin a legitimate network marketing opportunity do so with the intention of having their own business and having the freedom to run their business independently of others and expect an outcome that reflects their creativity, perseverance.

But, the real question is, does joining a legitimate network marketing opportunity empower you the business owner to have full control of the outcome of your efforts?

Let's first start by looking at how most network marketing companies are set up.

In my network marketing company, I am considered an associate. By definition, an associate is someone who assumes subordinate status without full rights and privileges.

Contrast that with the definition of an entrepreneur who is someone willing to take upon herself or himself a venture and takes full responsibility for the outcome. Obviously, there is some disparity between the 2 definitions.

My legitimate network marketing company reserves the right to terminate my associate status should I not follow the agreement that I signed at the beginning of our relationship. The terms specified are not unreasonable and I'm sure they are consistent with those of other companies.

But here is the glitch. There are other circumstances that can profoundly effect your business. I learned of these first hand when my company ran into legal issues with the attorney general of the state of Texas.

Some of the challenges that I now encounter include:

• I can not directly link to the company website from any of my content on the internet
• I must refrain from making any disease claims (this is consistent for all health practitioners and others who have wellness websites or post content anywhere on the Internet)
• I cannot even mention trademarked company product names in any of my web content

So, does this sound like you are totally in control of your business? I have to say a great big NO!

Does this mean that You or I should not pursue any network marketing oportunity? Absolutely not.

But you must be aware of the limitations that are imposed on you in any MLM business. Awareness will go far in your ability to structure your business so you work with the system rather than fighting it.

Network marketing should be one of the many ways you generate income in your business not the only way.

Any smart entrepreneur structures their business to have multiple streams of income not just one.

Another very valuable component of network marketing is that you can generate residual income which is where the real wealth is.
