Developing Your MLM Skills
There is a learning curve in every business, even in
network marketing. Think about how long it took you
to graduate college (four years). Think about how
many hours an electrician or plumber spend as an
apprentice. Most people spend years mastering their
skills to become an expert at their profession.

What’s funny is that many of these same people join

of skills that take time to develop. For most people, it’s
going to take them three to five years, or longer, to
really master these skills and get good at what they do.
