Why You Need To Get On A PD (Personal Development) Diet
This is controversial but here’s some NO BS Truth about what’s going on in the network marketing profession.
We’re all “getting FAT” by consuming TOO MUCH personal development…
and not using what we’ve learned already to make an impact in this world.
Now, if you’ve NEVER watched a training nor read a book in your life then you can disregard this post.
Otherwise read on.
This blog is for those who have watched too many Facebook live trainings…
Attended a few events…
Read a few books…
And yet still stuck in your business.

The Good and Bad News About MLM
I’ve been in the network marketing profession since 2003 and I’ve seen many changes…
Here is the good news.
There is so much good training out there now for free.
I remember back in the day where there was virtually NO training outside of what your team provided.
You had to buy everything.
I spent thousands of dollars and CDs, DVDs and even old school cassette tapes.
And now almost everything is FREE.
There is SOOOO much great training out there from not just trainers but also top leaders.
And in many ways,
Today’s free training is even BETTER than what I used to have to pay for.
Everyone is being a giver and sharing their knowledge.
Which is good.
Except for 1 important thing…
Which leads to…
The bad news…
This started around 2007 when Youtube first became popular.
Overnight…
Everyone had access to great training online.
There’s so much great content out there that you can be in learning mode forever…
And that’s the TRAP.
You just learn and learn and learn…
And NEVER ever do anything to apply what you’ve learned.
You never take action and implement to turn your knowledge into money.
I know this one lady.
An awesome mom with 2 kids.
For the sake of this blog, let’s just call her “Ollie.”
Ollie loves her company’s product and the business.
I see her comment and watch all the Facebook Live trainings
And yet…
Ollie is still stuck and earning nothing.
When you have kids and limited time…
You have to use every spare minute to work on your DMO (Daily Method of Operation) and make money.
You can’t be wasting time to “learn more.”
You have to take action!
Personal Development Has Become The New Way To Procrastinate”
The reason why Ollie is stuck is deep down she has fears of prospecting.
Even messaging someone on Facebook is hard for her.
So instead of confronting her fears and do what is scary
She spends time on personal development.
Personal development is a drug for her.
Gives her short term gratification (she did something)
But in the long term…
Just like a drug…
It hurts you cause at the end of the day, Ollie knows she has done nothing in her business.
She didn’t work on her DMO
And she got no new prospects…
No new customers…
No new distributors…
She’s made no money that day.
Does this sound like you?!
Self Development Creates Overwhelm
The more Ollie does personal development
The worse Ollie feels!
Cause there is so much to learn and do…
Where does she start?!!
There’s so many things to do already…
She barely mastered Facebook…
And then there was Instagram Stories…
And now there is Instagram TV!!!
What the heck should she do?!!!
Have you ever felt overwhelmed with everything you’ve learned and not know what to do?!
That’s how all this personal development can hurt you.
Cause when you feel overwhelmed, you don’t take action and you don’t grow your business.
Instead of learning more…
And more and more…
You need to take 1 thing you’ve learned and apply it.
And work the DMO every day
Every single day.
Cause the DMO is the only thing that actually makes you money.
All the other personal development is just a distraction.
Your Easiest Way to Overcome Your Fears and Create Consistency
If you lack consistency, it’s not your fault.
No one is born consistent.
The easiest way to become consistent is when we do things together.
If you exercise you know it’s much easier when you go workout with a friend.
Here’s what you can do if you struggle with consistency:
1) Prospect and work on your DMO with others
2) Have someone hold you accountable
If you don’t have anyone, I can prospect together with you along with a group of motivated distributors.
You can get on the Waiting List to be allowed into that group.
Personal Development Can Be Good
Personal Development is good
But only AFTER you do your DMO everyday
and after you’ve applied what you’ve learned already.
Go take action and apply what you know and not just learn learn learn and never take action.
