What do wellness, MLM, and religion have in common? First of all it is not possible to have wellness without a set of beliefs. Your religion is your set of beliefs. Multilevel marketing, done correctly, is also intricately interconnected with your beliefs. For the past 12 years I have been involved in a wellness related multilevel marketing program. I have religiously shared my program with others.
100 years ago the American people were the healthiest people on earth. We experienced a level of wellness that was the envy of the world. Wellness involves the total health of the whole being, physically, mentally, emotionally, socially, and spiritually. It is our religion, or belief system that governs our wellness. When you find a product that you believe has been very beneficial to you, it is only natural to desire to share it with those we love.
I would like to challenge your thinking on what I think are some myths about multilevel marketing and religion. The first myth is that multilevel marketing is a get rich quick pyramid program. The second myth is that religion is about forcing our beliefs on others.
In a pyramid scheme the person to the top of the pyramid gets the most money. If you follow that logic almost any company is a pyramid scheme. The people who do the most physical labor received the least money. As you move up in management you make more money. The CEO our president makes the most money. The truth is in a good multilevel marketing program any individual is able to outperform those above him. This is accomplished by sharing your beliefs and testimony of what the products have done for you. Because we all have our own religious beliefs, most people don't care. Multilevel marketing can be very discouraging because most people don't share your beliefs.
The second myth is really rather closely related. If you are passionate about the products that you represent, it is only natural that you wish to share them with others. When an individual does not believe you they perceive that you are trying to force something on them that they do not want. This same thing is true in a church religious setting. Regardless to what church, denomination, or faith you adhere to, even if you're an atheist, there is considerable divergence and beliefs. We tend to place labels on people as being conservative or liberal. Often those who follow old traditions and standards are considered conservative and those that are younger and have less ties to the traditions and standards are considered more liberal.
My experiences has been that when I promote a product it all depends on the individual's particular situation at that time. To enjoy true wellness it is important to understand the role of prevention as a relates to degenerative disease. When one faces a wellness crisis it is often too late to take preventative measures.
I believe that one of the greatest problems with multilevel marketing is that many people present their wellness product as some kind of magic bullet our panacea. The truth is there are no magic bullets or panaceas. While the wellness product may be very beneficial, it is only a component of true wellness. I have been sick only one day in the last 15 years and know exactly why I got sick that time. It was not because I skipped my vitamins, but it was because I seriously compromise my immune system.
I have a sincere desire to help people achieve a greater level of wellness. I understand that if any one of our five domains, physical, mental, social, emotional, or spiritual are compromise it will affect every other domain. Simply put if you are experiencing an emotional crisis, it will impact you physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually as well. What you eat impact every domain. The food that we partake of is what our whole being derives its energy from. We receive energy through all of our five senses, taste, touch, sight, hearing, and smell. The source of their energy will determine whether it has a positive or negative effect on our being.
