I have in the past and am now running a couple of 'real' businesses, and in the process of building a very big one.

I also listen to Brian and Bob Regularly. Bob pretty much daily, and Brian a little bit each month.

I won't argue with you that MLM is not for the faint hearted. It has hurt plenty of people, but I am honestly glad for my experiences with it.

You can tell me all day, and provide list upon list of evidence why it's bad. It won't change that I am glad I did it.

I probably won't get -back- into it. It isn't the way I want to ultimately do business, but it was a good experience for me and provided me with a lot of the courage, confidence and backbone I have now.

What I have learnt from real business, is that it cost s alot more than an MLM to get started. And a lot more if you fail. I have 200k riding on my new business, most of which isn't mine. A bit more than 3-5 the average MLMer loses.

Suprisingly enough my investors are almost exclusively MLMers. None of my non MLMer friends want to hear anything about business.
