Hi Dani,
I like your posting. I also know other people who became involved in MLMs. The learning process and self-improvement side enabled them to develop skills which helped them to excel in other business. The point wasn't always to make a long-term profit or even profit at all. In some cases, priceless learning about themselves enabled them to excel later. It sometimes seemed like a co-op-business course where one studies and learns alongside developing the practical side of business. You seem to agree that one gets out of any business what one chooses to learn, retain and re-apply. It sounds like you have mentors and supporters who motivate you in your latest venture. Keep up the great work!

Hi Antiventurecapital,
Personal experience in running an MLM business isn't the same as watching people or hearing about why other people think they fail. Some people will simply blame the company rather than take a hard look at themselves and accept they had anything to do with their results. Doing things yourself is what enables you to gain personal experience. Making general estimates of failure versus success rates in any kind of business can be misleading when you possess limited information. I agree different business models exist. Niche businesses can be successful just as other kinds of businesses such as franchises or MLMs if entrepreneurs work hard and believe in what they do. Franchises or MLMs aren't for everyone. It makes sense to judge what is best for yourself. We all live and learn at our own pace. I simply question why you condemn people for their choices. If anyone chooses to pursue a business enterprise, my own experience has shown it helps to connect with role models who have achieved success. When successful people are willing to share lessons learned in person, this can be more valuable than reading a book.
