There are risks in everything we do. Getting up every day and going to work has risks. Of course, some activities are more risky, while others are certainly low risk. But anything can happen anytime anywhere. So why do people get involved in network marketing and think there are no risks involved?

One of the reasons has to be the low cost of entry into many MLM companies. The amount of money required to join many companies is very affordable for most people. In fact, many companies don’t even charge a registration fee. You only have to make a regular purchase each month.

But people don’t realize that if you want to build a successful network marketing business, you will certainly have to spend more than the cost of a monthly autoship. It will take some kind of financial investment on your part and there is a chance that it will fail. That’s the risk!

Like any other type of business, there is a chance that it will not be successful. But your losses will be much less than if you were buying a franchise. Just to compare the difference, look at the cost of some of the top franchises.

As you will discover, some can be very expensive. Even with such a wide separation of risk between MLM and franchises, many people don’t understand that there is some risk involved in the network marketing industry. And although the risk is much lower, many people think the risk is too great.

If you are one of those people, you should probably reconsider your involvement in the MLM business. Why? Because if you plan to build a business, it will cost you some money. And if you’re afraid of losing money when things don’t go as planned, then don’t risk it.

Even with such a small risk, many people think that because it is network marketing, there will be no risk at all. They only realize the risk once they have lost some money. And they soon give up on the business. They’ll quit before they lose any more money.

It amazes me how people can think that network marketing is risk free. This is probably one of the reasons why the industry has such a high failure rate. They think they have nothing to lose. And although the amount is small, it is still a risk.

And some people can’t take any chances. Stay away from any type of business if this is you. It will only prevent you from achieving success. The risk is not great in this industry, but there is a risk that you could fail.
