There is an absolute given in Network Marketing and if you have spent any time in Multi-Level
Marketing you know it: you must be engaged in some form of Personal Development activity.
But why Personal Development and MLM? Why this peculiar marriage?
It was when I began my second go-around in MLM that Tom & Francie, my upline sponsors at the
time, asked me what kind of Personal Development I was doing. And they asked it with an air of
assumption that quite honestly confused and fooled me.
"Personal Development? What's that?"
"Well, it's what keeps you in the game. You'll have to do some form of PD if you want to take this
seriously and get what you want out of it. If you go to our company's home site you'll see a
resource there featuring Randy Gage and his Prosperity series."
And so I did. And it was both fascinating and personally revealing. Before reading Gage I had no
idea how negatively programmed for success I had been.
But WHY Personal Development? And why especially with Network Marketing?
Perhaps in the form of a question this could be a hint:
Why is there such a high presence of counselors, individuals recovering from one form of
addiction or another, and religious true believers in Network Marketing?
A clearer answer emerged in 2008 in Houston at my current company's convention. The presenter
was a young, vibrant and attraction woman who with her husband had attained the highest level
the company honors, that of Presidential. In one sentence she gave me a huge lead on making
sense of all this.
She said, "This business will challenge every weakness you have."
Every weakness. Beyond the shadow of a doubt, every weakness.
Be it self-doubt, an addiction, the result of some kind of abuse in your early years, or poverty
programming from any socio-economic, religio-cultural background.
But I still wasn't satisfied. The answer only seemed to be addressing some sort of internal

2. struggle. What was the connection with success and in particular with MLM? After all, I keep
running across people who have been in MLM for 20, 25, 30 years, and they are STILL working on
themselves and their success!
A more satisfying answer, a much more satisfying answer, lies in of all places a book on
psychotherapy by Brad Blanton entitled Radical Honesty. (The word 'radical' comes from the Latin
'radix' which means 'root'. The honesty Blanton is writing of comes from the deepest places we
can find in ourselves.)
In his book Blanton tells us the source of the power necessary to produce the results we desire
does not lie in any of our beliefs or especially in any time-consuming struggle to change.
More counterproductive is our focus on the struggle instead of the result. When we do put the
struggle front and center, we put ourselves in the position of not having to see that there is 'one' of
us who wants to change and 'one' who resists change, yet the 'two' are obviously one and the
same. We seduce ourselves into avoiding the truth: "that we are whole, and that we really do get
what we want - which is struggle, rather than results."
Blanton continues by saying that if we limit our identity to only the desire to change and not also to
the more powerful and present desire to remain the same, we will remain stuck. Essentially we
can only change when we give up trying to change.
By now you know what I am implying but I will spell it out by paraphrasing Blanton's last thought
by substituting 'personally develop' for 'change':
If we limit our identity to only the desire to personally develop and not also to the more powerful
and present desire to remain the same, we will remain stuck. Essentially we can only personally
develop when we give up trying to personally develop!
In Network Marketing the inability to meet with the success participants state they desire achieving
is around 98%. Ninety-eight percent of ALL participants, industry wide, regardless of 'opportunity'
(you should pardon the pun) or company, do not succeed.
NINETY-EIGHT PERCENT!
And since it is a given, we know that a very large percentage of that 98% are heavily into, yes, you
guessed it, Personal Development.
Too much, way too much, of a coincidence.
So what I am stating outright now is this:
*Personal Development in MLM too often serves as a convenient frame of reference for "the
struggle to succeed", the struggle that most people have been secretly conspiring with their
internal 'self' to ensure.*
The struggle becomes the thing so who needs success! If too many ever got it, they wouldn't be
able to snuggle up to their old friend Struggle.

3. I want to be very clear here. I am not diminishing all the negative, poisonous and destructive
programming, disguised as acculturation and socializing, that is injected into us. All that cultural,
religious, socializing and political brainwashing is REAL and it WORKS.
That's why it is done. Besides, since I know it very well and first-hand myself, I am not without
empathy and compassion for those honestly struggling.
We ARE led to live dreadful and unfulfilling lives by practically every institution we are exposed
and surrendered to by the authorities of our culture and society. But I do not think or suspect, and
certainly don't believe, that Personal Development alone possesses the key to unlocking the
vastness of the power that lies within ourselves.
What does?
Two things.
One is the Truth and the Truth is that we all ARE powerful beyond our wildest imaginings and it
scares the living daylights out of us.
Second is taking action. Do the thing and you will have the power as Emerson wrote.
So, once again, why IS there this formalized marriage of Personal Development and Network
Marketing?
It's a formalized excuse, the one most culturally approved, and popularly recognized and easiest
to commiserate with in the MLM culture.
The ONLY solution is to tell the Truth, most especially to yourself.
And if you honestly need help, acquire the skills to succeed and get a mentor who WILL hold you
accountable.
Accountable for your Actions. The ones that will unlock your power.
