>>A recent post on this list referred to mlm as "BS".  This is interesting 
>>on
>>two counts.  The first is that the person uttering this also has those 
>>same
>>initials, "BS".  I honestly doubt he was referring to his own initials,
>>rather what is put out of a beef producing animal.
>>
>> We are all entitled to our own opinions, and what works for one, does not
>> necessarily work for someone else.
>>
>> MLM goes by several names.  But the long and short of it is to sell
>> products to others like other businesses do.  You also grow and expand
>> your business by bringing others in with you.  MacDonalds does this.  KFC
>> does this.  Many different versions of 711 do this as well.  They call
>> their memberships franchise fees.  It can cost you a million or more to
>> join the golden arches.  And before one can even obtain the rights to a
>> spot, you must put several hundred thousand down in an escroll acount for
>> many years and hope you get a location.  Then you have all the other cost
>> associated with getting started.  Tnen you must train your employees.
>> Many of these will be young kids who really could not care less about
>> staying with you or whether you make a proffit or not.  And they quickly
>> move on down the road to someone else, and you must train all over again.
>> And corporate takes continual fees and really does not care if you 
>> succeed
>> or not, because, there will always be others to take your place.  And 
>> yes,
>> people do make a great living at these types of endeavors.
>>
>> In mlm, you have some similarityes and some differences with that other
>> type of operation.  Most of mlm type companies do sell better quality
>> products than you can get in the open market place.  IE, the quality of
>> the nutritional and cleaning and personal care products one can obtain
>> from Shaklee, (yes I do represent them, and I am proud to do so), are 
>> much
>> superior to those at say your local wal-mart, that one really cannot
>> compare them.  Studies published in peer-reviewed journals can back this
>> statement up.
>>
>> To get started in my company, is under $300.00 and this is not a month, 
>> it
>> is one-time.  As you build your company, you can put some of your 
>> earnings
>> back in to the products you yourself wish to use.  Your own use of your
>> products gives you a continual building of credibility and belief in what
>> you are sharing with others.  As your sells and helping others to get
>> started and succeed grows, your income increases.  And yes, people do 
>> make
>> great livings at companies like these as well.
>>
>> I believe where most people get confused is the lack of understanding
>> about mlm being simple, not easy.  Many believe the two are synonomous. 
>> I
>> refer to Shaklee because that is what I know.  And the concept is very
>> simple.  You make money in a few ways.  But Shaklee, or any other mlm, is
>> not a government social program.  Your success is related to your 
>> efferts.
>> For me the unmeasurable rewards come when I see a life changed because of
>> what Shaklee and I can offer someone.  Some of the results from our
>> products are simply incredible.
>>
>> There is not one business in the world that can claim that every time
>> someone sets out to do that business that they will prosper and succeed.
>> MLM cannot claim this either.  However, whereas other types do not want
>> you to succeed, in MLM, you do not succeed, unless you help others obtain
>> what they want.  And if the values of helping others and making life
>> better for your  family are bs, then build me a mansion right in the
>> middle of it.
