MLM Nation - Network Marketing's Untold Secrets

Special episode and the lessons we can learn from the recent Modere Closing and the future of network marketing. Episode Overview In this episode, I dive deep into the recent shocking news of Modere shutdown without any prior notice, leaving thousands of distributors and the entire network marketing community shocked. I share not only the implications of the Modere shutdown but also the essential lessons that network marketers must learn to protect their futures and build resilient businesses. Modere: What Exactly Happened? On Friday, April 11th, 2025, Modere closed without any warning or notification. I was hanging out with my mom who was visiting from NYC when my friend Ian Farrar text me about it. I felt “sick to my stomach,” knowing friends and colleagues who had built significant incomes were suddenly left with no commissions and no clear path forward. Notable leaders like Justin Prince, Marina Simone, and others had previously left, signaling underlying issues. Still, the abrupt closure was entirely unexpectedly, making what happened to Modere even more devastating. Immediate Impact on Leaders and Distributors I highlighted the stark reality faced by many top earners and everyday distributors in Modere: Is Network Marketing Still Worth It After Modere Shutdown? I addressed this question… Is residual income still viable in network marketing? I emphasize that: I underscore that Modere’s closing doesn't represent the entire industry—many companies continue to thrive. Lessons Learned From Modere 1. Entrepreneurship Involves Risk Entrepreneurship, including network marketing, involves ups and downs. Companies may close, and markets fluctuate. I reassure listeners that risk is universal, not exclusive to network marketing. 2. Network Marketing Residual Income Requires Smart Choices Network marketing residual income exists but requires choosing stable companies and products with lasting demand. I share insights from my own success, acknowledging the element of luck but also highlighting the importance of market research and strategic planning. 3. Personal Development and Growth The true benefit of network marketing isn't solely financial but personal. I share my journey from being a shy, quiet Asian kid from Brooklyn, New York, to someone confidently impacting thousands through speaking and coaching. I describe network marketing as a “personal development university with a pay plan.” Why Personal Branding Yourself is Essential I stress that the Modere shutdown underscores the critical importance of personal branding: Tony and Sarah ZoleckiJohn and Nadia MeltonMichelle BarnesCharacteristics of Network Marketing Companies That Last I draw from my 22 years of industry experience to highlight characteristics common to enduring network marketing companies: Avoiding Hype:Steady Growth Over Rapid Expansion:International Expansion:Homegrown Leadership Development:Protecting Your Future After Modere Closing Focus on Core Business Activities I advise listeners to concentrate on income-producing activities and avoid excessive distractions such as overly focusing on industry news or social media scrolling. Implementation Over Information The Modere closing illustrates the importance of action. Instead of just consuming information about industry events, I emphasize the need for practical implementation: The Importance of Investing and Diversifying In business there's always uncertainty. I emphasize financial responsibility: Why I Still Recommend Network Marketing Despite the Modere closing, I firmly believe in network marketing’s value: business educationFinal Thoughts: Resilience and Growth I offer powerful encouragement for those affected by Modere’s closure: Implementation always beats information alone. Take action today, and go positively impact someone’s life.

This week was the 10 year anniversary of MLM Nation's podcast and I want to thank you for listening. We launched in March 2015 with a mission to provide inspiring stories and valuable lessons from around the profession to help you achieve network marketing success. A lot has changed in the last 10 years but the profession is still around and new leaders are born everyday. This is a special anniversary episode to celebrate YOU and our profession. To make this episode special, I wanted to bring on Josie Tong, who's a successful leader and helped the launch of MLM Nation in 2015. Who is Josie Tong Josie Tong is a multiple 6 figure earner who has made over 7 figures in lifetime commissions. She's a dear friend and has been featured on MLM Nation multiple times and lives in Sydney, Australia. 🎙️ What We Talked About: In this special 10 year anniversary episode, Josie and I have a real, raw, and casual conversation. We talk about how MLM Nation got started (hint: it involves a flight to Australia), what was going through my head back in 2014, and the steps we took to get the podcast off the ground. Josie shares her perspective on how the show impacted her and her team during a very challenging time in her life. Over the years, she’s watched it grow into one of the longest-running, most consistent podcasts in the network marketing profession. 💡 I Also Shared: Time flies. I share on this 10 year anniversary: • How the idea for MLM Nation came to me while flying to a workshop in Sydney • What it really takes to stay consistent after 845 episodes (and why I don’t always feel like doing it!) • The biggest mistakes I see network marketers make over and over again • Why duplication is a myth and what actually creates momentum • How I built a business that still pays me six figures a year in residual income • Why giving without expectation is the foundation of leadership • My thoughts on being a present dad, raising my boys, and building a legacy off the field ✨ Special Moments from the Episode: • Josie cooking up one of my favorite Filipino dishes (salmon head sinigang!) and having it delivered to my hotel when I was in Australia • Our meetup at a flower garden café in Sydney back in 2014 • Josie recalling how she supported the launch of MLM Nation during a time she was transitioning her life and career 🧠 Top 5 Lessons From 10 Years of Interviews: I want to highlight the top 5 lessons that keep coming up on this 10 year anniversary show. 1. Consistency is a skill. This is probably the most important lesson of all. Consistency is the #1 skill And it’s something I wish more people truly understood. People often say to me, “Simon, you’re so consistent. You show up every day. How do you do it?” And I always say the same thing. Consistency is not something you’re born with. It’s not a personality trait. It’s a skill. And like any skill, it can be developed. When I first started MLM Nation, I didn’t have it all figured out. I had fears. I had doubts. There were so many times when I wanted to quit. Even today, if I’m being honest, there are still days when I don’t feel like recording another episode or going live. But I do it anyway. Why? Because I’ve trained myself to be consistent. Consistency isn’t about feelings. It’s about making a commitment to the person you want to become. I don’t show up just because I feel like it. I show up because I want to be the kind of leader who shows up. That’s the secret. Start seeing yourself as a consistent leader. Then build a routine, create a system, and get accountability. If you do that, your results will catch up. The problem is, most people quit before the results show up. They stay stuck in the “I’ll do it when I feel like it” loop. And that’s a recipe for failure. Consistency is what separates the amateurs from the pros. 2. All leaders invest in themselves. Every single successful person I’ve interviewed—without exception—has been a lifelong...

How Gregg Scott and Lenika Started in Network Marketing Gregg and Lenika Scott weren’t always successful. Before MLM, they were like many struggling entrepreneurs—living paycheck to paycheck, trying different businesses, and looking for ways to create a better life for their family. They discovered network marketing when a friend introduced them to an opportunity. At first, they were skeptical, but they quickly saw the potential for leveraged income and financial freedom. Lenika took the lead, diving into personal development, learning from top leaders, and mastering social media marketing.

Craig White described himself as a back packing beach bum who had tried everything before he got started in network marketing. Today he’s a multiple 6 figure earner with over 4500 customers and leads the Passion to Succeed movement. Who is Craig White Craig White described himself as a back packing beach bum who had tried everything before he got started in network marketing. Today he’s a multiple 6 figure earner with over 4500 customers and leads the Passion to Succeed movement. Craig White's Journey Into Network Marketing Craig White was always chasing freedom. He never wanted to be stuck in a boring job and from a young age, he bounced around—washing dishes, working in nightclubs, selling fax paper (which, he admits, he was terrible at). No matter what he did, he never felt excited about work. So at 21 years old, Craig packed a bag, grabbed his surfboard, and traveled the world. He lived in Indonesia, Australia, New Zealand, and Fiji, surfing and having the time of his life. But while sitting around a bonfire in Fiji, someone asked, “What are you going to do when you get home?” Out of nowhere, Craig said, “I’m going to start a network marketing business.” Even he was surprised by his answer. His parents had been in network marketing for years, but he always ignored them. Then, while in Australia, he saw his parents win a free trip from their business. It finally hit him—this thing actually works. In April 2001, Craig came home and went all in. The thought of going back to a 9-to-5 job scared him more than the fear of failing. He had nothing to lose, so he gave it everything he had. Craig White’s Tough Start and First Breakthrough Like most people, Craig made a lot of mistakes in the beginning. At first, he ignored his parents’ advice and tried to do it his way. After two weeks of struggle, he swallowed his pride and asked for help. That’s when everything changed. He focused on two things that shaped his success: 1️⃣ Work harder than anyone else – He was willing to wake up early, work late, and push himself more than he ever did at a regular job. 2️⃣ Always ask, “What’s next?” – After finishing one task, he didn’t stop. He immediately asked, “What do I need to do now?” His first big win came by accident. A guy named Ray joined his team out of the blue. Helping Ray succeed made Craig realize—I actually like this! Within seven weeks, Craig made £1,500 (more than he ever earned at a job). Then, out of nowhere, he got a call from the company: “Congratulations! You won a free trip to Rome!” He had no idea there was even a contest! Then they told him, “You can also qualify for a trip to Malaysia and Langkawi.” Craig didn’t hesitate. He asked, “What do I need to do?” and went all in. That mindset of never stopping is what made him successful. Craig White’s Biggest Challenges Craig’s biggest struggle? Rejection! In August 2001, he did 63 one-on-one presentations in a single month. And guess what? Almost everyone said NO. After so many rejections, doubt started creeping in. 👉 “Am I even good at this?” 👉 “Does this really work?” 👉 “Am I wasting my time?” But he didn’t quit. Then, in September, something crazy happened. He did 14 presentations—and 13 people joined. That experience taught him a huge lesson: ✅ Rejection is part of the game. Most people quit right before they break through. Losing his Close Friend Another tough moment? Losing his best friend. His childhood friend passed away in a motorcycle accident. It was heartbreaking but instead of quitting, Craig pushed forward harder. They had always dreamed of traveling the world and living free. Now, Craig was determined to make that dream real. Craig White’s Game-Changing Mindset Shift Craig’s lightbulb moment happened at his first big event in June 2001. He ran into an old friend named Darren—who was now in a wheelchair after an accident. Darren had started network marketing two weeks after Craig… and was already as...

Nick Martinez was an airline pilot and was working as first officer for a commercial airline when he realized that despite having a dream job, he lacked control over his time, income and future. He was introduced to network marketing and immediately saw the potential for freedom. He got started but struggled for years without success. Rather than giving up, Nick committed to personal development, attended countless network marketing events and learned from top leaders. He slowly became more consistent and developed a strong belief and vision. After a decade of relentless efforts, Nick has achieved what many would all an overnight success and was able to walk away from aviation to build his thriving business.

That’s why it’s called the present.” Recommended Books Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself by Dr. Joe Dispenza Get Happy Now by Joseph McClendon III Recommended Online App Calendly Recommended Prospecting Tool Face to face or phone call Contact Info Nick Martinez on Facebook, Instagram and second Instagram account Key Lessons from Nick Martinez • Success in network marketing takes time. Nick struggled for years before he saw major results, proving that persistence is key. • Network Marketing Events create belief. Attending a network marketing event early on helped Nick see the bigger vision and take action. • Mindset matters more than skill. He overcame procrastination by improving his confidence and personal development. • Leadership is tested in tough times. When his upline left, Nick had to step up and lead his own team. • Consistency breeds success. He treated his business with the same level of commitment as his airline career. Your Action Steps 1. Commit for the long haul. Don’t expect overnight success—stick with it, even if it takes years to achieve your goals. 2. Attend live events. Go to network marketing events and surround yourself with top earners, absorb their mindset, and let their success stories inspire you to take bigger action. 3. Work on personal development daily. Read books, listen to podcasts, and improve your confidence so you can take action without hesitation. Success doesn’t happen overnight, but if you stay consistent and keep growing, your breakthrough will come.

Future of Network Marketing After Major Changes The future of network marketing is changing. Over the past year, some big companies have moved away from the MLM model, and this has left many leaders scrambling and dreams vanished. Companies that were once seen as rock-solid have abandoned the network marketing structure, taking away downlines and residual incomes. Why the Future of Network Marketing Is Still Good Despite this, network marketing is not going anywhere! People will always want more freedom, money, and more time with their families. Network marketing gives everyday people a chance to dream bigger and people will always want more in life so in this is the reason why the future of network marketing is good. Network marketing is about dreams and gives people hope but unfortunately it's not going to be easy. In this article, we’ll dive into why achieving network marketing success will be harder and what you need to do. Why the Future of Network Marketing Will Be Harder 1. More Distractions Than Ever We have way more more tools to help you succeed in network marketing than 20 years ago but it's has also made things harder. For example, social media has made things easier if you know how to use social media for network marketing or it can create major distractions and and overwhelm. That’s why staying focused and developing the right mindset is more important than ever in the near future. 2. The Instant Gratification Trap We live in a world where everything is immediate but success in network marketing takes time. If you’re looking for quick results, MLM will feel harder than ever. 3. Self-Doubt and Fear of the Wrong Choice Many people switch strategies too soon because they think they’re doing something wrong. The reality is that success comes from staying consistent, even when it feels like nothing is happening. 3 Keys to Success in Your Future in Network Marketing Here are some tips to help you grow your business, even when things get tough: 1. Focus on One Thing at a Time Stop doing everything all at once. Whether it’s Instagram, TikTok, or another platform, pick one and stick with it for at least six months otherwise you'll never the momentum and experience to achieve success in network marketing. 2. Stick to the Income Producing Activities Achieving success in the future in network marketing doesn’t require fancy tools but does require you to focus on The DMO (Daily Method of Operation) and list of income producing activities. Post on social media, meet new people, send invitations, follow-up and do presentations. Here are complete details of these 5 income producing activities 3. Lead Yourself First The 1st step in the Simple Online System in network marketing is to Lead Yourself. Network marketing success starts with you! Build network marketing habits that keep you consistent, like waking up earlier to work on your business or setting a timer to stay on track. The more disciplined you are, the better results you’ll see. 4. Delay Gratification Instead of looking for quick wins, focus on the long game and long term future. Succeeding in network marketing might take months or even years, but the rewards will be worth it. 5. Stay Connected to MLM Community You'll never be successful if you do network marketing alone because it can get very discouraging. You must stay connected with others so make sure you attend every future team training, go to network marketing events, join coaching groups, read the books, listen to the podcasts, etc. Network marketing can feel isolating, but staying connected will keep you inspired and focused. Secret to Network Marketing Success: A Winning Mindset Most people fail in network marketing because they don’t have the right mindset. They think MLM success is about learning new skills, but it’s really about how you think and approach challenges. Here are examples of how top leaders think.
