I do not despise or hold malice in my heart for anyone, that is not
the way to be nor is it the way I go about my day. Anger will eat you
up alive.
But I do have a problem, which I'm working on, with my pride. Do I go
around with my chest poked out, no... but when someone messes with me,
I become unrelenting and take it upon myself to..."twist the knife" so
to speak.
What got me about the IBOs I met, was that their stories were rife
with inconsistencies and they came on way to strong. On
severaloccasions they even became way to close in for comfort and I
had to let them know "back up."
I have had several jobs since I was 12. Worked in the corporate world,
retail, and did back breaking manual labor. Not once did a recruiter's
(military or otherwise) want to come to my home. Yes they contacted me
often, told me to come by the office, etc. Not once did a potential
employer set up an interview late at night. Job offers where always
made the following week or the end of the current week (no matter how
desperate the employer was for man power.) Job descriptions where
clearly laid out, and if they were not I was told, "we will start you
here, but this department might call on you to do XYZ."
Do I hate IBOs, no. They are hustling like everyone else on this god
given earth. Do I hate the men I dealt with, no. If I saw them again I
would be indifferent towards them, have no reason to talk to them and
have no reason to fear them.
I'm in the process of doing research, and in the MLM buisness, the
IBOs are like low grade sargents. Yes they have the automny to make
command decisions on a lower enlisted level but they are also part of
larger team and command structure (Like any other business of
bureaucracy.
to listen to $$$ instead of reason.
The downfall of such schemes and people will not be by a single class
action suit. It will be their worship and love of money...
I completely understand money makes the world go round. You need it, I
need it, and if I government didn't have the reputation/prestige
behind it, our backyards would look like Croatia. Palms must be
greased and their must be confidence in the goods and services
exchanged. But I'm also reasonable, I can not and will wont put my
faith and worship into money. I'm not a strongly religious man and
have respect for people of all major religions (I have studied a few
of them briefly) but a part of me (no matter how much I want dream of
become a great leader or having power with the sounds of boots
clacking the ground in the background) will not let me worship money.
Now I know it is easy me to say that, seeing is how I do not have to
take care of a family or pay major bills besides food, gas, and rent.
But I do not see being unscrupulous and submitting to a cult as the
way to go.
Can you make money in a MLM, you probably can, if you as I was told
"Submit completely". If you throw away caution, common sense, and push
goods on anybody or anything. But like a street dealer, you have to
hustle your tail off.
Nothing funny about my story you say?
Will place yourself in my shoes, someone who prided himself on being a
"wheeler and dealer" someone who was "street smart" as well as "book
smart." Now, look at the big hit I took and how I was almost taken in.
I wanted to stamp myself "Dumb Ass!"
Now if you can't laugh at yourself...who can you laugh at?
