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.

Thanks for Sharing
That is so True, so if I may ask what could be the solution to that?
I agree with all of that, but what if you are very serious about the business and welling to put the maximum effort you could, but you are in a point that you do not know what to do next. I think there should more training tools for new partners like me just to get in the right track and you can leave me alone. I can depend on my self then but don’t sign me up and leave me alone and say go work and do the muricles . It does not work this way. Thank you
Most of uplines example in Bangalore, uplines explaining QNET compensation plan max out criteria in wrong way. Their intention is to immediately closing prospect on table. Uplines are not clear about the basics
Absolutely. One can’t get rich overnight in any form of business and that is a very wrong expectation to come with into the business. One must set some small weekly goals to attain that super goal of financial freedom. Take one step at a time, put required time and efforts and super goal will be ours.
It’s very true people just don’t put the right effort and expect moon from the business. Quite often the expectation is set before the sign up. Later the disciplined effort is not followed. Which leads to failure.
I’ve signed up recently and I’m having some problems recruiting new members. .any advices for me??
Tks for sharing the true things in business. No pains no gains. Right efforts and results have no better choice than coming to us
RIght thought i like it but i am very happy read this k8nd of information.
I wanna ask a question; is it possible to fail in the business after activation? Or does it only happen after sign up when one does not put much effort?
