I think traditionally the terms Direct Selling and MLM are slightly different. Direct Selling companies rely more on sales to non-members, without giving too much weight to building a vast downline, whereas MLM companies get most of their profits from members' monthly payments, so the focus is to build a network of consumers, rather than salesmen. But i may be wrong here.

I see a logical mistake here.
Even though it takes ten years to become a national director, it doesn't mean it's impossible to do it starting now. Doesn't matter when you start, but if you work hard enough in ten years you'll be at this level. I've seen cases when newbies make top qualifications in a year.
By the way do you have any info about how much money top leaders of leading mlm companies (like Amway, Mary Kay etc.) make in the US? Just curious to compare with russian mlms.
