  1. It is via personal experience that I tell you that all MLMs should be considered guilty until proven
    innocent. Unfortunately, there are always young people coming up from middle school who have not
    heard this and get caught up in these schemes. I will readily admit that some (or perhaps a few)
    MLMs sell worthwhile products. But that does not mean that you should get involved, that you will
    make money, that you are the kind of person that can sell. After you have sold to (or annoyed) all
    of your friends and family, then the real trial begins, selling to strangers.

    MLMs are inherently more dishonest than most sales organizations (which do not have a real good
    track record anyway). Instead of one layer between production (truthtellers, sort of) and customers,
    MLMs have numerous layers of greedy sales people between production and customers. Each layer
    exaggerates the exaggerations of the previous layer, until it all becomes lies, lies, lies.

    Save yourself a lot a grief. Get a real job and do a good job at your real job.

    You made an excellent point about MLMing.

    There are always those who will hustle and cheat others. Typically human. The medical monopoly is a
    classic example.

    This is a guarantee for surfdom, old age and social security.

    MLMs at one time made more people millionaires than any other occupation.

    That was until the dotcom craze.

    Would you rather have a chance at the "brass ring"to see if you have the "right stuff", or just plow
    the ground like a cranky old mule?

  4. I guess all those ordinary folks around the world who have built themselves a lifestyle and incomes
    that someone like you could never imagine , are all just imagining it ? . I guess the Merc my wife
    drives around in and owns ( paid for by the company , her 5th ) and her considerable income is just
    a figment of her imagination ? . I guess the people in her group , and thousands of others who make
    themselves a good living from MLM are just full of [censored] . Have you ever taken a good look at what
    you so quickly put down ?
    . The rags to riches stories in MLM are inspiring , any young person who gets involved WITH THE
    RIGHT COMPANY and sticks with it , will be living a lifestyle by the time he or she is 30 that you
    will certainly never achieve in ten life times with your attitude . I suggest you open your mind
    and read some stuff and listen to real winners like Robert Kiyosaki and Bob Proctor and see what
    these sort of people say about MLM .

    Cheers

    There are many other, better ways to take a risk and go for the brass ring than working for a
    dishonest organization and having next to no chance of success and annoying friends and relatives.

    Did you know that many MLMer lose friends and never get invited to family reunions?

    Roger, if you're going to be rational and reasonable, I'm afraid we're going to have to ask you to
    leave m.h.a -- you're ruining the tone of the place.

    correct. "If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on my
    shoulders." (Hal Abelson, MIT)
