Sweet as (as we say in New Zealand)!
You're welcome.
I would say it's not a pyramid as its not illegal and by all accounts its not an outright scam (a pyramid is really when the person at the very top makes a ton of money and everyone else gets nothing) but from the little I've read about Success University (I admit to knowing very little about it) it may not be as suitable for you as other companies who have been around a while and have strong ethical controls in place.
I suggest googling forums such as this when looking at a new network marketing business - I did this with the company I joined and was surprised at the very positive reports I read all over the place, including from people not affiliated with the company except as customers. That spoke volumes when it became apparent that companies carrying similar product lines were defending themselves regularly in lawsuits. So do your homework, the net makes it easy to get a feel for what the company is and the sort of people that are involved.
