    I read alot of comments here some for, some against.I have two biz.s contractor and MLM. As a self employed contractor, all i can make is mine. Just me no one else, I call the shots.Sure I tried time after time to grow. The good workers would brakeout on there own and the bad ones cost you more head ache than anyone wants. At age 58 you slow down, body falls appart and your health is going bad. Then your faced with will social security. IS IT GOING TO BE THERE WHEN ITS YOUR TURN. MLM I am set!

    ok! I am getting back to you! I have checks and tax returns! Your success shouldn’t be dependent on if the person who introduced you to the business is successful…like the video and business models says…you are paid on production of a product or service that you sell NOT the recruiting of people which is the definition of a PONZI scheme!!!

    I must be reading this wrong.. did you mean to write “trading time for money is the best way to go”? If so that is available to you, and the MANY millions of people that are out of work right now.. In all due respect, trading hours for money, is modern day slavery, and no one ever gets ahead or becomes wealthy that way, with the rare instances of Facebook, Apple etc employees.. But truthfully, network marketing is not for everyone, it is for us that don’t desire to build someone else lifestyle.

    Its still surprise me, just how lot of people do not know about Monezilax System (search on google), despite the fact that a lot of people make a large amount of money online because of this system. Thanks to my cooworker who told me about Monezilax System, I’ve start making some BIG Cash from the internet.

    Sorry, but you do not understand the business model. I recently sold my network marketing business. There were thousand of distributors in my organization at the time producing millions of dollars in sales. Please explain how that is different from building and selling a traditional business.

    I never said he was rich. Read the comment again. I said I’ve NEVER met a rich MLM person. Also, each time I’ve been approached about joining, I would say…”get back to me in 3-4 months if you’ve made any money.” I’ve NEVER had someone get back to me.

    why the he** would a wealthy man from a NM company meet you if he’s already rich? (FYI the video said Warren Buffet SUPPORTS NM. Not promoting it)

    I used to struggle too, but now I’m making 400 pips a week easy. You just need a better system. This one will turn things around. Watch this video -> bit.ly/N2kNyi?=ljijss

    sometimes people pay more for convience..its like investing..you can save more money by learning how to ivest yourself w/o hiring a professional inv. manager..but it takes more time and effort, so people will pay more for the convience of lettin someone else do all of that for them…maybe what that company is doin is just bein more aggressive in their marketing approach, face to face sales is almost always more effective than buyin tv time..but im not entirely sure

    to them its a scam, lie, and unreal. Most cases it’s because they don’t have what it take to work hard to get to the top, rather finding a secure job that pays hourly so they don’t have to put in as much effort.
    J – Just
    O – Over
    B – Broke

    One thing i love about a MLM company or what this guy things of it as a “pyramid scheme” is you get paid for the value you have, and treated with the potentials you have.
