Its inevitable.  There are actual Jedi Knights among us in the mlm world, some of which are only impersonating, but many of which are legit. As it stands, successfully starting and maintaining a network marketing business is a challenge even for the "Luke Sellwalkers" of the industry; many of whom are seasoned vets that know what works and what doesn't. If its going to be a challenge for them, imagine how it will be for you and I, assuming you are like me and just considering starting up. So what do we do? We seek out people that have the know how, and hopefully they will provide us with a little network marketing training. Sometimes you can find it in the form of a video, a book, a forum, word of mouth, and almost always in the start up packages you often receive when starting a new mlm opportunity.

Now lets consider a few of these types of packages. You have company training, that's the type of packet you get which may or may not include training videos, or access to training web sites which deal specifically with a product or a company. A good example might be AdvoCare. If you join AdvoCare, they will send you training materials in addition to web site access, and on that site they will provide you with everything you need to know to sell AdvoCare, how to recruit, how to approach prospects, how to maintain your downlines etc....but consider the work, time and effort you put into learning it all. Will it carry over and help you if you ever decide to leave and try a different mlm? More than likely it will, but there are some forms of network marketing training that are designed specifically with the hardcore entrepreneur in mind.

These packages are often mlms themselves, and offer universal training programs that are meant to be applied to virtually any type of business you want to start. They may also offer some pretty valuable insight as well as software to help you get well on your way. The question of how to choose a good source of network marketing training might be to seek out those "Jedis" I mentioned earlier. Who are they, and where do we find them? Well many people use resumes and work history as a status symbol and signature of their successes. This is enough for some people, since no one knows better than the guy on top, such as a company CEO, or maybe a very high ranking salesperson that serves as the example of how to do well. Its not such a bad idea to go to school for business for a basic understanding of the business world, although there are a growing number of successful network marketing gurus that suggest experience itself is far more valuable than education, although the right choice depends on you.

Some current network marketing training packages include information from people such as Eric Worre, Jerry Chen, Doug Firebaugh, and many others. Whether or not they really are network marketing champions, or simply dispensers of generic information dressed up in hype is all in the eye of the beholder. You might find the same information for free on the Internet, but not appreciate the delivery, where as one of these individuals might introduce it in such a way that it clicks and you find them quite valuable. Doing your own research is the greatest step you can take to beginning your journey, and finding the kind of network marketing training that is right for you.
