Sorry Cullen30......truth is MK business just plain old sucks.  :diablo:

Even if you did have a successful debut...it's so hard to "make it" in the MK world....it's designed to be hard and with a high turn over so that some other sucker (I was once a sucker!  wink :teehee:) front loads a pile of inventory.

The directors I worked with make a living off of front loading, high turnovers and lying their way to the top. Not so Golden rule-like eh?

Be very careful, Gus.  The immediate response from any MLMer when we say how little is made per hour doing MLMs is:  "So not true if you run your business like a professional, and treat your hostesses/hosts with integrity, and are willing to work (what a concept, I've never considered THAT!), and if you're not lazy losers, yada, yada, yada.

Those very responses assume we were complete lazy idiots with absolutely no business sense.  If that was the case, then tell me, Gus, how is it that the vast majority of the women on this site are VERY SUCCESSFUL in their chosen fields?  Hmmm?  Obviously, we're not of afraid of hard work.  We recognize a sham when we see it.

We can acutally build businesses that can be franchised, sold, willed, advertised, etc.  You cannot do any of these things.

Someday we will, with hard work and financial fortitude, reire on our investments and the work will be over. You, on the other hand, will be chasing your tail till you're 90.

Good luck.

P.S. You know me.  I don't give a rat's ass who likes me.

HI there.  Somehow you managed to take everything I said and make it all about me directing it toward you - which is ironic since we've never met and I have no clue who you are or what your story is.  Please don't do that - it's not good for either of us.  I stand by my original comment's messge - if you don't spend more money than you're making, especially up front, then you show a profit.  And I assure you that it's far more than $2/hour in my experience.  Period.  How you want to interpret that or feel attacked by that is up to you, but that is my reality and it's been an amazing seven years with an honest, direct sales company.  I never said anything about your work ethic or how you can or cannot "build businesses that can be franchised, sold, willed, advertised, etc."  So, again, original topic - I make more than $2/hour and know hundreds of other consultants that do, too, and we've never had to throw anyone under the bus to get there.

Hi, Gus;

Thanks for responding.  By the same token, I'm not directing my comments at you either.  But I would really love any MLM consultant to go toe-to-toe with me on the points in that post.  They never do.  They only say, "Gosh, you're a meanie!  Let's play nice."

Well, I'd love to do just that; but when any MLM messes with people's finances, the war is on.  What do you do with the fact that 99% of the people in MLMs lose money?  There's just no arguing with that.  I'm sure you are a wonderful consultant.  I have no judgements about you as a person.  But trying to sell the 'wonderfulness' of any MLM on this sight will be an uphill battle.

I've said many times that I love many of the products of many MLMs, and I love the excitement of the rallies, etc., but it doesn't change the facts.

Have you noticed how many MLMs are really struggling since the economic collapse?  Gosh, I guess when they lost their loathed 'just-over-broke' jobs, MLMs could no longer be funded.
