What Is Your Biggest MLM Phobia?

August 20, 2008 | By Monika Mundell |


mlm phobia The number one reason why most people (including me) fail in mlm is fear. We all fear things. Whether it be talking to people on the phone, cold calling, face to face talks, distributing out marketing materials, or mentoring our down line, most of us have an area that we rather suppress.

Trouble is, when we suppress things we tend to blow them up and soon enough a midget becomes an elephant. In mlm, this could quickly snowball and before you know it, you have effectively paralyzed yourself due to over analysing things.

When you think about it, I’m sure you have been in those situations before. My own biggest fear was cold calling people on the phone and talking to strangers on the street. You might have been told about the 5 foot rule in your own mlm.

That is when you try to hit on anything that moves within a 5 feet radius. Not a particular nice thing to do, especially if your hands get all sweaty, your heart starts racing 200 beats per minute and you want nothing more than to stick your head in the sand and forget all about it.

When we are afraid of things we freeze up. Our body goes into survival mode and all we can think of is the nearest exit to flee.

Some say, you have to train your phobias and take charge of them. But this is easier said than done.

What if your integrity screams "ABUSE"? If you are dead set against those practices from a personal belief, there is no way you will overcome those phobias. It took me some time to realize this myself, but when I did, I felt great.

At least I knew there was nothing wrong with me. So, what is your phobia?
