Please read till the end it's brief.
Time to come clean. I am a customer in what you would consider an MLM
company. Although they don't consider themselves MLM, but there is
commission on 7 generations.
I think you are all right in what you say but at the moment I am in
denial... I say to myself things like: "Well, it was time to start
buying better products, to look after ourselves. It was probably time
to buy better vitamins. I have always claimed to care for the
environment, time to put my money where my mouth is, etc"
After a second attempt at doing the Business side; I have come to the
conclusion *all by myself* that you sell people the business in order
just to gain customers. It's very aspirational. Then after reading
all of Roxy's postings I saw Hal spell it out "they are not selling
[beauty] PRODUCTS but they are selling OPORTUNITY". So thank you for
that, Hal.
The reason I am confused is because, I can see in me a lot of what
you guys are saying, yet I am not ready to give it up.
Someone, (Watkins I think) wrote a while ago that his time in MLM had
given him high self esteem. I am sort of in it because of the
personal development side: personal sales, presenting, picking up the
phone etc, definitely pushes me out of my comfort and into my
development zone.
I am a SAHM with a 4 year old and a baby that is not 1 yet. Hence
touched by Deb's wisdom ref family not waiting. So my not-MLM MLM,
gives me some mental stimulation and adult interaction but also
plenty of disappointment which I bag under the name of "learnings".
I am enjoying the products, I know that penny for penny I am spending
more or at best I am static (I do get about 15% of my consumption
bill back from my commission pay) but from that to making
profit...requires some very serious effort and qualities that right
now are probably not in me. I see it as a very long term thing and an
investment of time, but can't deny that it would be nice to be there
when the exponential growth kicks in or to recruit an "Ace".
What do you all think? Keen to read your replies and also, can you
guess which company I mean? Please be kind, I am vulnerable.
Cheers,
Iceskater
