Have you ever wondered why a staggering 70% of people who embark on the exciting journey of network marketing ultimately do nothing, despite their initial enthusiasm and investment? It’s a question that plagues many, and the answer, as revealed by NLP-qualified expert and successful network marketer Paul Turner, lies not in the product or the system, but deep within our psychology: the “breaking point.”
Paul, who personally achieved $10,000 a month in network marketing, understands the landscape intimately. He’s not just sharing theories; he’s sharing hard-won lessons from the trenches, fortified by his expertise in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). He’s also closely mentored by 7-figure network marketing power couple Lori and West, whose insights he generously incorporates. This isn’t just about marketing; it’s about understanding human behavior to unlock your true potential.
So, why do so many falter, and more importantly, how can you ensure you’re among the successful few? Let’s dive in.
The Uncomfortable Truth: 70% Inactivity
The statistics are stark. According to industry insights, if you follow leaders like Eric Worre, 70% of individuals in network marketing companies contribute little to nothing. They join, they invest in a starter kit or digital product, they express a desire for change – for more time, more money, a better life – but then, they stall.
This isn’t just Paul’s observation; it’s a widespread phenomenon. People are excited, they get on board, and then… they just stop. What prevents them from taking the action necessary to turn their dreams into reality?
Unveiling Your “Breaking Point”
The core reason for this inertia, Paul argues, is the absence of a “breaking point.” Think about highly successful individuals – their biographies are often littered with stories of profound failure, bankruptcy, serious illness, or personal tragedy. These aren’t just unfortunate events; they are often the crucible that forges an unshakeable resolve.
A breaking point is that moment where you say, “Enough is enough. I can’t go on like this.” It’s a point of such profound dissatisfaction or desperation that inaction becomes more painful than taking action, no matter how daunting. It’s when you finally commit to saying, “I’m going to do it, no matter what.”
Many aspiring network marketers are motivated by positive dreams – a passive income, more freedom, a better life for their family. But for many, this “positive” motivation isn’t strong enough to overcome the inherent discomforts and fears of starting something new. They haven’t reached that pivotal breaking point where their “why” becomes an urgent, non-negotiable imperative.
The Silent Saboteurs: Excuses and Fear
Why don’t people reach their breaking point naturally? Because it’s uncomfortable. It forces us to confront our fears:
- Fear of Rejection: “What if they reject me?”
- Fear of Judgment: “What if they say something nasty? What if they judge me?”
- Overwhelm: “I don’t know when I’ll get time to watch the training.”
- Tiredness: “I’m tired after my four-day shift.”
These aren’t just trivial concerns; they are powerful psychological barriers. We are wired to seek comfort and avoid pain, and facing potential rejection or judgment can feel genuinely threatening. But as Paul points out, are you truly okay living a life dictated by these fears? Are you content to remain a “slave” to your current circumstances because you’re worried about what someone else might think?
The NLP Solution: The “False Timeline” Exercise
This is where NLP offers a powerful tool: the “False Timeline” exercise. It’s designed to simulate your breaking point, forcing you to confront the consequences of inaction, and motivate you to act before disaster strikes.
Hand 1: The Future of Inaction
Imagine your current life continuing on its present trajectory. What will change in one month, six months, a year, five years, or even ten years from now, if you keep doing exactly what you’re doing?
- Will you still be working those long, hated hours?
- Will you still be struggling with financial strain?
- Will you still be wishing for more?
Now, imagine your children (your “why”) coming back in a time machine from that bleak future. They ask you, “Dad/Mom, you said you were doing this for us. You wanted a better life. Why didn’t you do it? You had help, resources, a community… what happened?”
The emotional weight of that confrontation – the shame, the regret of failing your own “why” – is a powerful breaking point, simulated proactively.
Hand 2: The Future of Action
Now, imagine a different timeline. What happens if you do join the business? What if you do apply what you learn?
- It might be uncomfortable at first, because change always is.
- But in a month, you’ll feel pride in yourself for taking action.
- In six months, you might have passive income coming in, easing financial pressure.
- In a year, you could be full-time, building a substantial business.
- In five or ten years, you could be buying properties, paying for dream vacations, experiencing the nice things in life – round-the-world trips, true freedom.
This second timeline isn’t about magical overnight success; it’s about consistent, deliberate action leading to compounding results. Even if it’s just 20 minutes a day, like Lori, who built a six-figure monthly income, it adds up.
Don’t Wait for Desperation – Act Now!
The ultimate takeaway is this: don’t wait for a moment of absolute desperation to drive you to action. It’s far easier, and less stressful, to take meaningful steps now, without the crushing weight of urgent necessity.
Success in network marketing is not always easy, but the process is simple. It requires hard work, yes, and you’ll encounter uncomfortable moments – that’s just life and business. But if you follow a proven process, and if you’re genuinely committed, something has to work.
Your Chance to Get Mentored by the Best
Paul Turner himself is currently being mentored by 7-figure earners Lori and West Benson. He’s “clever enough to know when to drop what I do and follow somebody else who’s got the result I want.” This incredible couple is highly accessible, actively involved in their community, providing support, training, and resources.

This isn’t just about joining a business; it’s about joining a community and gaining mentorship from individuals who have achieved massive success and genuinely want to help you do the same.
