I believe multi-level marketing is a great thing. The only downfall is actually knowing people who are going to help you keep that 'platinum status' in that business. I have gone to a couple of 'be your own boss' meetings myself. You always get excited to hear what other people have done to get where they want to be in that business. For instance, the last one I went to hosted a speaker who was 35 years old and retired. They said it was strictly from this business. I don't want to 'incriminate' the business so I won't state the name of the 'business meeting' I attended. Anyway, naturally, I got excited, feeling I could do the same and was really going to until I started understanding that the money's not going to come in until you accrue a certain amount of points. In addition to that, one must be able to 'convince' others to participate, hence, the networking part of a business. That was my discouragement from doing this business. I mean, knowing I had to try to get people with me and keep them with me in order to keep getting 'paid', was a discouragement for me. Anyway, I never tried it, although I'm still thinking about it. I guess I can say that multi-level marketing is a good thing, but may or may not be for me.
