What if the company isn't the problem?

What if the product isn't the problem?

And what if the business model isn't the problem either?

That may be one of the harder questions to ask when something isn't working - because eventually, the finger has to turn around.

In this episode of Third Chances, I sat down once again with my mentor, Dr. David Silverman. Retired board-certified foot surgeon, longtime entrepreneur, global business leader, Mentor of the Year, and Business Builder of the Year.

Who better to talk about the side of network marketing we rarely explored in our first conversation: the business itself?

David has spent more than two decades in this industry. He didn't enter it blindly. Despite that, he had to walk away from network marketing more than once. That's a personal experience painful enough to teach valuable lessons.

So I wanted to know:

- Knowing everything he knows today, what would he evaluate before saying yes to an opportunity?
- We talk about the due diligence most people never do, including the product, exclusivity, leadership, financial stability of the company and whether what you're building actually has the potential to last.
- But we also go somewhere much more personal. Because joining the right company doesn't automatically make someone successful.
- David shares why being motivated, coachable, and consistent matters more than previous credentials or business experience, and why even highly successful professionals often have to unlearn what made them successful somewhere else.

That part hit home for me.

I came into this industry as a network marketing "virgin" after a lifetime in sales, thinking I knew how and what to do.

I didn't.

I knew how to sell.

Network marketing required me to learn something entirely different: how to listen, ask questions, present, mentor others, duplicate, and stop making myself the center of the process.

David puts it simply: instead of walking into a conversation thinking, “What can I sell you?”, start with “How can I help?”

We also talk about why some people treat a business like a hobby and then become disappointed when it pays like one, why mentorship has to go deeper than simply enrolling someone, and why personal growth may be one of the biggest - and most unexpected - returns this industry offers.

If you've ever looked at network marketing and wondered whether it was legitimate…
If you've tried it before and concluded that “it doesn't work”…
Or if you're currently building and wondering why you're not getting the results you expected…

This conversation may give you very different questions to ask.

Maybe the business isn't the problem.

In this episode, we explore:

~ What David would investigate before joining any network marketing company today
~ The difference between a legitimate company and a genuinely strong business opportunity
~ Why product exclusivity and company leadership matter
~ Why traditional sales skills don't automatically translate into network marketing
~ The shift from selling to listening, connecting, and helping
~ Why simplicity and duplication matter more than being impressive
~ The three qualities David looks for
~ What good mentoring actually looks like
~ Why “ready, fire, aim” creates so much frustration
~ How events and community can change belief
~ What this industry taught both of us about ourselves
~ Why building for time freedom can be very different from simply earning more money

And what David would tell the skeptical version of himself today

This conversation isn't really about convincing anyone to join network marketing. It's about learning how to evaluate it intelligently. And, if you choose it, build it successfully.
