V Partner Arun George had a blossoming career in the corporate world at an early age, but in 2000, he decided to go full-time with network marketing – and he hasn’t looked back since.
Now, he is an esteemed V Partner and global mentor in the V Family. He talks about the biggest common mistake in network marketing that negatively affects the reputation of the industry.
What is the biggest common mistake in network marketing that affects the reputation of the industry?
The biggest mistake, in my opinion, is having the wrong expectation. I don’t know if there is a better word for that, so let me explain it. People sometimes get into our business with all kinds of wrong expectations, and when they have these wrong expectations, they approach the business the wrong way. They don’t put in the effort that is required, and when they don’t put in the right kind of effort, they obviously don’t get the right results. And soon they give up. People who enter with the wrong expectations end up quitting almost within a few days; that is the biggest problem in our business.

When you look at network marketing, one major complaint up there is that there are only a few people who become successful in it. Whether that may be true, the nature of the business makes success dependent on what we do and don’t do. When people enter the business, they think it is some kind of get-rich-quick scheme, or that their upline is going to work for them, or that they just need to bring in a few people to make them rich overnight. All these are wrong expectations, and shows that they really don’t understand what they’re getting into.
For us to become successful in anything, we need to really understand what we’re getting into. If you’re getting a law degree and you don’t know what it takes to get that, chances are within a few months, you’re going to quit. The people who complain about college are the same. Likewise, we need to understand that what we’re getting into is a business. While there are different people here to help us with training and various other tools, it is a business, and it takes business-like focus, business-like dedication, business-like effort to become successful.
What do you think? Let’s discuss in comment space below.
For the few months I have been in the business, and what have gone through so far, it’s REAL business and requires more than just collecting money and join.
Any way; does it mean that we need to inform the new entrants what really the concept is before signing them up?

Yes V Partner Arun Sir, I Do accept this.
Having an experience of 5yrs it’s very important to understand by us that we are into serious thing. NOT A PLACE WHERE WE TRY TO BE A BILLIONAIDE.
Thanks
Very nice!! True tips
But some up lines are hiding the actual things to a fresher.they bring a new members into network marketing by motivating him that there is nothing to do in network marketing,just give few times as a side business.
Very true.
No every up line always tell u have to do all the things which is needed to do in a business. And everyone knows if one is doing business he has to do all those things which is needed to make that business successful and that is why only few people start the business. 😃😃
That is just exactly what people do and think they can just get money within a shortest possible time without given themselves much understanding about what they are going in for.
True
i agree, many person get wrong expectations when the enter the business, in my country and especially in my team, many has given up saying that it’s to strong, sign up person it’s difficult and reach them to success it’s almost impossible, some think that the effort is to big! can i have advise from the V partner?
Nice one V.P George,
Any other wrong expectations I should expect?
Very true … Higher expectations and lack of effort to the reasons
Actually I am not towards it’s big wealth in return , in fact I am looking for how genuinely I can creat it’s system so that the afterhand result should be worth having a great value in term . I am a beginner but very much struggling with rejections. But this rejections not going to make me step back , I will thrive to do my best and get the great potential which could help me to build my dream empire.
Because people come and go away they have lottery mentally. Nothing more….
true
I my opinion, like any other business, this business doesn’t work if I don’t work. Rejection doesn’t matter in this business what does matter are our right efforts. It is simple but it’s not easy but we have to keep it simple. Unlike any traditional business, if we put right efforts, we will a lot for sure in short span of time. Let’s build to last…
Very true..
People give up I’m my team when the don’t realize their wrong expectations.
The refuse to empty their cups daily
I believe in the business but I have realised patience is the key to understanding how it’s success will be
As the old saying goes ” No gain without lots n lots of pain”.
Success is pure hard work, run for success & money is by-product of success it will touch your feet when you put in hard work, committment , dedication…
This is very true. Its important that the biz gets its due respect. There is need to know and play by the rules. Its not a magic show.
Expectations always hurts..
When I do the things in a right way automatically I will get the results.but my focus should be on 100% efforts…
This Business is not a get rich quick scheme..
I need to learn and earn…way to become an entrepreneur for me..
