I haven’t written for a few days; partly because I want the readers to digest my previous article. I got some feedbacks from readers regarding the topic, both positive and negative. Some of the negative feedbacks includes the high percentage failure in network marketing. I personally haven’t seen the number. I don’t know what the percentage is. I don’t know how credible the information is. And honestly I do NOT care.
All this statistic does is instilling fear in you. It is meant to get you to think twice about doing something. When you have passion for something, regardless of the statistic or the fear or the negativity, you will find a way to overcome that fear to do it. We all know what the marriage failure rate is in this country. It’s 50%. That’s right. One in two marriages is bound for failure. That is not an encouraging statistic when it comes to something that you love, is it? But does that stop you from marrying the person you love? No. Why? Because you love that person. You have the passion. You don’t let fear get in the way of your passion.
I surround myself with like-minded people in this business and all I see are people who are successful. I know people who make $100 a week or $100 a month. And I personally know a person that makes $6,000 a week. Their success to me is not in how much money they make. Each of these people are successful to me because they are doing things they have passion for, they believe in themselves to do what they want to do, they give themselves a chance to succeed and most of all they are taking control of their own life; in spite of what people are telling them otherwise. When it comes to taking a chance on yourself, it is never a failure in my eyes.
If you are interested in statistic, there is only one statistic that holds true each and every time. When you don’t do something, you will never fail. Pretty good statistic; until you consider that you will never succeed either.

If you look at the article, we can argue that the statistic probably talks more about social economy issue more than anything else. The study was done based on certain data to prove a point. Take the income statistic. 92% of children with a household income of $75k or more live with 2 parents, as opposed to 20% with a household income of less than $15k that live with only 1 parent. This data can be SO misleading. Where is the data in the middle between those two numbers? You compare two extreme data ($75k is 5 times more than the $15k) and of course you will get two extreme results. What may be the statistic doesn’t tell us is that 90% of children with a household income of $30k live with 2 parents. Who knows? They never show that statistic.
About marriage: it is true that about 50% of them end up in divorce, even though the number is declining. But it does not mean that 50% of people that get married end up divorcing. If you read the statistics more carefully, you’ll see that people who divorced at least once are bound to repeat it again and again, skewing percentage upward. If both partners have bachelor degrees, the divorce rate is about 17%. This rate jumps down to only 14% if both partners achieved masters degrees.
Sure, the statistics can be misleading because the way the numbers were interpreted by a person with an agenda. But statistics need to be embraced and understood, not ignored.
