We’ve all been tempted by the thought that somewhere else is easier to build our business.

“It’s easier in countries with high unemployment—they’re actively looking for opportunities.”
“No, it’s easier where everyone is fully employed—people have extra money to spend.”
“Wait, it’s easier where incomes are low—a part-time network marketing income can replace a full-time paycheck.”

After all this back-and-forth, the truth is clear: the easiest place to build your network marketing business is right where you are.

Instead of searching for “easier” conditions, focus on sharpening your network marketing skills—like rapport building, presentation delivery, and prospecting techniques. When your skills improve, outside circumstances matter far less.

And remember that old saying, “The grass is greener on the other side”? Sometimes it’s only greener because of all the “cow droppings” fertilizing it.

Why Summer is the Perfect Time for Network Marketing Growth

In network marketing, your role is simple—connect with people and share your message.

Here’s a pro tip: the best time to connect is when people have more free time. That’s why holidays, summer breaks, and long weekends are goldmines for finding new prospects.

When people are relaxed and open, they’re more likely to listen, explore, and consider new opportunities. Instead of slowing down during these times, speed up and take advantage of the season to grow your business faster.

Sharpening Your Presentation Skills on the Go

One of the fastest ways to increase conversions in network marketing is to master the first 20 seconds of your presentation. That’s when you grab attention, build trust, and set the tone for the entire conversation.

Right now, I’m listening to Public Speaking Magic: Success and Confidence in the First 20 Seconds. It’s an incredible refresher that reminds me how to start presentations strong and avoid slipping into bad habits.

I use Audible and iTunes to listen while I walk or drive. For less than the price of a cup of coffee, someone will read the entire book to me—no excuses not to keep learning.

Final Thought

Stop looking for the “easier” place to build your business. Instead, work smarter where you are, take advantage of seasonal opportunities, and continuously sharpen your skills.
