The reason mlm is given a bad rep, is because there is no one telling you what to do (and society is conditioned to be told what to do!). You are basically given all the freedom you want to go forth and reap the benefits of a mlm system IF YOU CHOOSE TO. However, many people 'unconciously' make the decision to get involved, or are excited about it the day they sign up but then everyday after that they lose more interest. And because they lack self initiative (they are waiting for someone to tell them what to do...) they develop the idea that mlm has scammed them and that it doesnt work...

It only works for the people who work it! People expect too much from nothing. Another problem is that most people will listen to their broke friends advice that it isnt going to work and so they take on that belief and create it a reality.

And now they have to go and create laws to protect this? I mean some companies were sued for making false claims, and so now every (smart) mlm company is already stating their turnover rate or income levels during the signup process.

It is kind of ridiculous to have to make a law like this if you think about it, it is a bandaid to the real problem - that people need to wake up and smell the roses around them. I have met many people who are experiencing abundant success in all areas of their lives because of mlm.

I totally agree.
