Thank you escapee, i've already read those (plus other stuff from that site). Now, don't get me wrong here. I'm in no way saying that MLM is unconditionally good and everyone should do it. Also note that i'm not working in MLM and not going to (at least not in the nearest future), because i see a lot of opportunities better than MLM. Probably in this thread i've created myself an image of an MLM fanatic, but believe me i am not.

What i'm trying to do is to be objective. for example, I mentioned that my girlfriend worked in MLM. When i notice that she's getting too hyped up, i try to kind of point out to her that MLM may not be the best thing on earth (those articles have helped me there too). See, if i come across an MLM fanatic, i try to kind of counterbalance him in the discussion, so he gets a more balanced perspective. The bad image of MLM is mainly due to fanatic people who bug everyone out. And when i come across an MLM-hater (like Dmitry two posts earlier) i try to point out the good sides of MLM to him.

Personally i see more good than bad in MLM, but that is just my experience. But i don't think a person's single negative experience in MLM (as in anything else) should close the MLM doors for him forever. It's said that wise people do not have their own opinion. Cause there's no "right" point of view, everything in this world is too subjective.

To conclude, the world is not black and white, and perceiving MLM as absolute good or absolute evil is a "disempowering belief". That's what i'm struggling with.

And now i'm out of this thread. it eats up too much of my time already.
