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.
Correct. Wrong expectation is the first step of failure
Yes it is very true but in my view people should have some expectations in the right sense from company and upline but wrong expectations is very dangerous.
I also faced these issues in beginning of this business. But after a right guidance and training, it helped me thinking and finding right side of people to work along the way. I understand that this business is only a option to reach financial freedom by putting right efforts. Thank you so much to Qnet and my all beloved coaches.
thank you to all

Focus dedication & consistent efforts are the keys to get successful
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 Qnet .
Absolutely…It’s about commitment and consistency…

Really true sir
What if we start doing business with 2 different companies at the same time.
Exactly.., success is no accident, it is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice, technical thinks, and love of what you are doing…..
It’s true
Exactly Wrong expectations will never take you to success…also you need to do this business with pure intention… it takes lot of Hardwork…and effort… Never give up…I sure you will become somebody..in this journey..and that is true Asset…. Thank you Soo much V Partner Arun George…for showing the Right path in this journey…Hope every one understand True potential of this business and what will this business gives to you is priceless……
True VP, people sign up and after just two rejections they give up pretending that they can not make it, that it will take time to achieve success. And instead of focusing their efforts and as you said put in the right effort, they take two weeks off the business then return for one more week and so on. Today it is our responsibility while signing up someone to let them know the effort worth to build a lasting business. Thanks for the point
I would say that it is predominately through mis-selling where a person is somehow manipulated to get into the business in the first place. Lack of upfront transparency and too much focus on making Friday cheques gets networkers to do any kind of manipulation with new onboards.
The other aspect is that most of the uplines get into a managerial behaviour. They call themselves active & working uplines but they end up spending most of their time harassing & forcing their downlines to commit suicidal actions to fulfil their own personal dreams.
I agree that this is an unconventional business however feel that QNET should make efforts to inculcate a culture of value system too. Chief Pathman’s Wednesday messages are too agressive for an untrained mind to understand.
So true
Basically they really didn’t get the meaning of delayed gratification for the success we aspire for.
And ultimately blame the business for not working in the way we expected but the fact of the matter is we didn’t work the way business expected us to.
Very True
Its true
It’s true
Yes , it’s true
Without these nothing comes your way easily,
👉 Hardworking and dedication.
👉 Working and Successful upline guidance.
👉 Belief and Confidence about yourself.
👉 Training’s And motivations.
