In this episode, Ildikó chats with Peter Ellis, a veteran entrepreneur who is now in his late 60s. He recently swapped retirement plans for a flourishing career in modern multi-level marketing (MLM).

Pete debunks common myths about multi-level marketing and why starting fresh in your 50s, 60s, or beyond is both accessible and fulfilling, particularly when you take the MLM route.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

1. Modern MLM Is Not a Pyramid Scheme: Today multi-level marketing means earning by selling real products and building a team—not just recruiting other sellers.

2. You Don´t Have to Be Salesy to Sell: Your passion for what you sell makes sharing and success far more natural. But don’t join just any scheme; you need one with services that you genuinely believe in.

3. Selling is About Relationships: People buy from people they trust and can relate to. Pushy sales tactics just turn people off, learning network marketing skills will help you to get the balance right.

4. Earnings Reflect Effort, Not Position: Entry costs are low and anyone who takes advantage of company training, keeps learning, is active in the community and helps others can easily out-earn those who have been in the business longer.

5. Flexibility With Responsibility: Enjoy the flexible lifestyle, but don’t mistake it for “easy”—you set your own pace but only see results if you show up and put in consistent work.

6. Consistent Action and Routines Power Results: Every day do something that is income producing. Use routines to help you stay strong, healthy and focused on growing your business.

BEST MOMENTS

Peter: "People worry about sales, and at the end of the day, sales, whatever you're in, not just multi-level marketing, you're simply having conversations with people."

Peter: "You are in an organisation or an industry where everybody wants you to succeed. Everyone wants you to win, because if you succeed, they succeed."

Peter: "It´s not just about the money. It's also about how people grow through the self-development side of things."

Peter: “If you’re not doing something, thats income producing each and every day, you'll go backwards.”
