Network marketing prospects are famous for declaring they don't have the time to start a business. They tell you they are interested and maybe at some point in the future they'll get started, but they can't do anything right now. But is that the truth? Are they truly interested and truly unable to get started because they "don't have the time"?

No.

Not having time is not the real reason.

The truth is they probably aren't interested but are afraid to tell you. (It doesn't matter why.)

Look, we're all busy today. Our lives are crammed with responsibilities. And yet we manage to find time to do things that are important to us, the things we need to do and also the things we want to do.

Yes, there may be other reasons they tell you they don't have the time. They may be interested but have doubts about their ability to build a successful business. Or, they may be interested but believe they have to put in twenty, thirty, or forty hours a week into building a business. Even ten hours a week may be too much to handle.

We need to educate people about what "part time" really means.

You can start a network marketing business in just an hour a day. People need to know that and they need to believe it. They need to hear how you (or others) are building your business in only an hour a day. Tell stories about how other (busy) people are building their futures in just one hour a day.

Look, if someone really wants to build a business, they can get started with just ten minutes a day.

Ten minutes a day!

Anyone can make a few calls every day and ask their prospects to "check out" their web site or dial into a recorded message. And, if that's all they can do, that's all they can do, but (as Art Williams says), all they can do is ENOUGH.

(Well, it's enough to get started, anyway.)
