Do you see iphone sold through mlm 
Proof # 2. you cheat your friends and family into buying the product, which has no much value of its own.
Proof #3. you get fooled of getting financial freedom and then you sell the same wrong dream to your friends and family.
Proof #4. The basic rule of an mlm is those who are on the top, wins it all and most of the people in the bottom looses. There are limited number of people so no matter what, the system is bound to crash making millions below the line waste their money.
I have seen sane people go insane due to this stupid mlm stuff.
I have seen the industry completely from all its angles, but its nothing escept waste. I had also planned to start my own mlm and even created a website for it, but its something you have to sell your soul to do it, hence I never did it and always guided people to save themselves from the mess. |
I think it's great that you want to help people. I do differ a little in opinion on these points, but it is no means to try and change your mind, but for people who want all sides of the equation.
1. Because a product is sold through untraditional methods, it is crap? I hope you would help me to understand the train of thought behind this. At one point InfoMercials were untraditional, same with sales through the internet. I don't understand how the method of sales makes the product itself have less value? Please clear this up if you would.
2. Did you cheat your family? Who did that? Did MLM force you into cheating your friends and family? Why would you cheat your family? I have showed my family products, and no one has bought anything from me at all outside of their own accord. Did you pick a product you weren't happy to share with people? Again, could you clarify how you cheat your family?
3. Financial freedom doesn't exist? I am sorry that it didn't work out for you, but it is an attinable goal, through multiple streams of passive income, in which MLM is only one option. There are many routes, but to say that financial freedom is a "wrong dream" is a little crass, inoffensive and untrue...wouldn't you say? Unless I am missing something.
4. That sounds a lot like the traditional business structure here in the US. If not, then why does the CEO drive a Ferarri and the factory worker drive a Ford? Pareto's Law really accounts for everything...the 80-20 rule. 20% of the employees will make 80% of the income. 20% of your effort will yield 80% of the results, however in MLM there is room for everyone if they so choose it. Most people choose not to.
I am not saying that there aren't people who fail at MLM, in fact just like most businesses, the failure rate is high. That isn't necessarily the fault of the industry.
I am sorry you had a bad experience with MLM. I have had nothing but positivity, honestly.
