The tribal wisdom of the Dakota Indians, passed on from one generation to the next over centuries, says that when you discover you’re riding a dead horse, the best strategy is to dismount and find a live horse to ride.

However, in modern government departments, multi-national corporations and bureaucracies of every kind, because of the myriad political factions, lobby groups, vested interests and personal agendas in play, other strategies often have to be tried with dead horses, including the following:

• Buying a stronger whip.
• Changing riders.
• Threatening the horse with termination.
• Appointing a committee to study the horse.
• Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses.
• Lowering the standards so that dead horses can be included.
• Appointing an intervention team to reanimate the dead horse.
• Creating a training session to increase the rider’s load share.
• Reclassifying the dead horse as living-impaired.
• Changing the form so that it reads: “This horse is not dead.”
• Hiring outside contractors to ride the dead horse.
• Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed.
• Donating the dead horse to a recognized charity, then deducting its full original cost for taxation purposes.
• Providing additional funding to increase the horse’s performance.
• Doing a time management study to see if lighter riders would improve productivity.
• Purchasing an after-market product to make dead horses run faster.
• Declaring that a dead horse has lower overheads and therefore performs better.
• Forming a quality focus group to find profitable uses for dead horses.
• Rewriting the expected performance requirements for horses.
• Promoting the dead horse to a supervisory position.

Similar arguments are also advanced by network marketers who find themselves riding dead horses in terms of their companies and compensation plans, but are unwilling to face reality because of the immense emotional investment they’ve made in those companies and their “dead horse” compensation plans. Their breathtaking creativity in making excuses for staying in the saddle has to be experienced to be comprehended.

Some reliable indicators that the network marketing “horse” you’re riding is dead, but it just won’t lie down…

• It operates a binary compensation plan, or any other type of matrix plan.
• The compensation plan has group volume requirements to qualify for bonuses.
• The compensation plan has downline rank requirements to qualify for bonuses.
• The compensation plan limits the number of legs you can build (limited width)
• The compensation plan promotes or requires building deep (the payout is distributed over numerous levels)
• The compensation plan encourages the purchase of “Fast Start” product kits as a way for you to build your bonus income faster.

These are just a few of the deceptive, distracting, “smoke-and-mirrors” tricks played by network marketing companies to rip-off naive, uneducated part-time distributors and reward themselves and their “heavy hitter” cronies through their #1 secret weapon that destroys YOUR chances of ever making a decent income in network marketing without you even realising it…
