  • 5 Shocking Truths about the Modere Closing and Network Marketing
    Apr 21 2025
    Special episode and the lessons we can learn from the recent Modere Closing and the future of network marketing.Episode OverviewIn this episode, I dive deep into the recent shocking news of Modere shutdown without any prior notice, leaving thousands of distributors and the entire network marketing community shocked.I share not only the implications of the Modere shutdown but also the essential lessons that network marketers must learn to protect their futures and build resilient businesses.Modere: What Exactly Happened?On Friday, April 11th, 2025, Modere closed without any warning or notification.I was hanging out with my mom who was visiting from NYC when my friend Ian Farrar text me about it.I felt “sick to my stomach,” knowing friends and colleagues who had built significant incomes were suddenly left with no commissions and no clear path forward.Notable leaders like Justin Prince, Marina Simone, and others had previously left, signaling underlying issues.Still, the abrupt closure was entirely unexpectedly, making what happened to Modere even more devastating.Immediate Impact on Leaders and DistributorsI highlighted the stark reality faced by many top earners and everyday distributors in Modere:Incomes ranging from $1,000 per month to $100,000 per month vanished overnight.Unlike previous cases (such as Beachbody or Rodan + Fields shifting models), Modere provided no transition, leaving no “Plan B”.Final product orders were delivered, but beyond fulfilling refunds, everything else ceased abruptly.Is Network Marketing Still Worth It After Modere Shutdown?I addressed this question…Is residual income still viable in network marketing?I emphasize that:Any industry carries risk. Even large corporations like Kodak have vanished over time.I personally still earn network marketing residual incomefrom a business I built over two decades ago, proving that stability can exist but requires both skill and luck.I underscore that Modere’s closing doesn't represent the entire industry—many companies continue to thrive.Lessons Learned From Modere1. Entrepreneurship Involves RiskEntrepreneurship, including network marketing, involves ups and downs. Companies may close, and markets fluctuate. I reassure listeners that risk is universal, not exclusive to network marketing.2. Network Marketing Residual Income Requires Smart ChoicesNetwork marketing residual income exists but requires choosing stable companies and products with lasting demand.I share insights from my own success, acknowledging the element of luck but also highlighting the importance of market research and strategic planning.3. Personal Development and GrowthThe true benefit of network marketing isn't solely financial but personal.I share my journey from being a shy, quiet Asian kid from Brooklyn, New York, to someone confidently impacting thousands through speaking and coaching.I describe network marketing as a “personal development university with a pay plan.”Why Personal Branding Yourself is EssentialI stress that the Modere shutdown underscores the critical importance of personal branding:Individuals overly associated with a single company risk losing their identity if the company fails.Leaders who built strong personal brands (such as Tony and Sarah Zolecki, John and Nadia Melton, Michelle Barnes) transitioned smoothly to new ventures due to their personal following.Building your personal brand through consistent value-driven content ensures your community follows you beyond any single company’s fate.Characteristics of Network Marketing Companies That LastI draw from my 22 years of industry experience to highlight characteristics common to enduring network marketing companies:Avoiding Hype: Companies built on solid, valuable products rather than short-lived excitement tend to last.Steady Growth Over Rapid Expansion: Companies that grow steadily rather than explosively typically sustain longer.International Expansion: Successful, long-lasting companies eventually expand internationally, maintaining a fresh influx of ambitious leaders.Homegrown Leadership Development: Companies that develop new leaders internally, rather than recruiting high-profile leaders from other companies, achieve lasting growth and resilience.Protecting Your Future After Modere ClosingFocus on Core Business ActivitiesI advise listeners to concentrate on income-producing activities and avoid excessive distractions such as overly focusing on industry news or social media scrolling.Implementation Over InformationThe Modere closing illustrates the importance of action.Instead of just consuming information about industry events, I emphasize the need for practical implementation:Improve customer service and community-building.Offer intangible value (personal support, accountability, recognition) that competitors like Amazon can't replicate.Reinforce your unique value to customers to prevent loss to cheaper alternatives.The Importance of Investing and DiversifyingIn ...

  • 10 Year Anniversary: 5 Powerful Lessons w Josie Tong
    Apr 3 2025
    This week was the 10 year anniversary of MLM Nation's podcast and I want to thank you for listening.We launched in March 2015 with a mission to provide inspiring stories and valuable lessons from around the profession to help you achieve network marketing success.A lot has changed in the last 10 years but the profession is still around and new leaders are born everyday.This is a special anniversary episode to celebrate YOU and our profession.To make this episode special, I wanted to bring on Josie Tong, who's a successful leader and helped the launch of MLM Nation in 2015.Who is Josie TongJosie Tong is a multiple 6 figure earner who has made over 7 figures in lifetime commissions.She's a dear friend and has been featured on MLM Nation multiple times and lives in Sydney, Australia.🎙️ What We Talked About:In this special 10 year anniversary episode, Josie and I have a real, raw, and casual conversation.We talk about how MLM Nation got started (hint: it involves a flight to Australia), what was going through my head back in 2014, and the steps we took to get the podcast off the ground.Josie shares her perspective on how the show impacted her and her team during a very challenging time in her life.Over the years, she’s watched it grow into one of the longest-running, most consistent podcasts in the network marketing profession.💡 I Also Shared:Time flies. I share on this 10 year anniversary:• How the idea for MLM Nation came to me while flying to a workshop in Sydney• What it really takes to stay consistent after 845 episodes (and why I don’t always feel like doing it!)• The biggest mistakes I see network marketers make over and over again• Why duplication is a myth and what actually creates momentum• How I built a business that still pays me six figures a year in residual income• Why giving without expectation is the foundation of leadership• My thoughts on being a present dad, raising my boys, and building a legacy off the field✨ Special Moments from the Episode:• Josie cooking up one of my favorite Filipino dishes (salmon head sinigang!) and having it delivered to my hotel when I was in Australia• Our meetup at a flower garden café in Sydney back in 2014• Josie recalling how she supported the launch of MLM Nation during a time she was transitioning her life and career🧠 Top 5 Lessons From 10 Years of Interviews:I want to highlight the top 5 lessons that keep coming up on this 10 year anniversary show.1. Consistency is a skill.This is probably the most important lesson of all.Consistency is the #1 skillAnd it’s something I wish more people truly understood.People often say to me,“Simon, you’re so consistent. You show up every day. How do you do it?”And I always say the same thing.Consistency is not something you’re born with.It’s not a personality trait. It’s a skill. And like any skill, it can be developed.When I first started MLM Nation, I didn’t have it all figured out. I had fears. I had doubts.There were so many times when I wanted to quit.Even today, if I’m being honest, there are still days when I don’t feel like recording another episode or going live.But I do it anyway.Why?Because I’ve trained myself to be consistent.Consistency isn’t about feelings.It’s about making a commitment to the person you want to become.I don’t show up just because I feel like it.I show up because I want to be the kind of leader who shows up.That’s the secret.Start seeing yourself as a consistent leader.Then build a routine, create a system, and get accountability.If you do that, your results will catch up.The problem is, most people quit before the results show up.They stay stuck in the “I’ll do it when I feel like it” loop.And that’s a recipe for failure.Consistency is what separates the amateurs from the pros.2. All leaders invest in themselves.Every single successful person I’ve interviewed—without exception—has been a lifelong learner.They read.They attend events.They hire coaches.They join masterminds.They are always growing.And that includes Josie.She invested in coaching with me before she even had major results.That’s what impressed me so much about her.She didn’t wait until she had a big check to start acting like a leader.She made the decision to be one and started learning how to lead.That’s what top earners do.They invest in their growth before they’re at the top.They know that the greatest investment you can make is in yourself.There’s no shortcut here.No one’s going to come along and do the work for youIf you want to get better at closing, study closing.If you want to get better at content, study marketing.If your mindset needs work, study personal development.But you’ve got to do the work.If you’re not growing, you’re shrinking.So keep growing.3. Management mode kills momentum.This is one of the most common mistakes I see, especially with newer leaders.You recruit a few people, maybe hit a company incentive,...
