This might sound crazy, but I would suggest you join to see exactly
the process of recruiting, motivation and maintenance! Join and set a
deadline to quit, no matter what. I spent 5 years in Quixtar. Should
have quit in the beginning. They sold me on exploding trend of online
shopping, e-commerce, in late 1998.

I liked some of the teaching: financial conservatism, delayed
gratification, importance of owning your own business, getting out of
debt, saving or developing retirement income, retiring early, the
prospects of 'residual type' income (interest, royalties, absentee
business
etc).

I even liked the 'Networking' part; I always believed in "Who you
know" being a big plus in business and in life; it is just having to
get them to join money losing operations did not sit well with me.

The main problem is the merchandise; generally priced high to pay
commissions, aggressive recruiting instead of sales and if you
get 'hooked': "System" cds/tapes, seminars and travel.
