The saddest thing about the whole "chase your dreams" motivational
thing that the MLM's push is that it applies very nicely and
effectively to just about anything in life OTHER than an MLM
business. My wife and I after 6 years of being out of Scamway are
closing in on where we were dreaming of being as Emeralds and the
future looks very promising. Let's see.....six years working 12 - 18
hour days 7 days a week building an Amway/Quixtar business, having
virtually no leisure time, little to no contact with family and
friends, substantial debt and STILL generating negative profit
or...... Two years building a traditional non-mlm business, being
truly independent, lots of leisure time, relations with family and
friends that is better than ever, quickly shrinking debt, and a
healthy income that shows every indication of continuing to grow?
Hmmmmm?.....
loser. If I'd only known that being a loser in the eyes of the
upslime was so profitable and such fun I'd have told that
first "successful" IBDrone where he could stick his circles.
Have a great weekend All! Regards, Trevor
