    Nor is it advisable. Physical labor is not a good way to make a living. Having an income flow is. I can help you if you're willing to pay me for my advice. :p

    I can assure you I'm not. I just kinda skimmed the thread, so I guess I missed the Primerica mentions.

    People are realizing that's not the only way to live.

    Being a corporate lifer is a dead end and unsatisfying

    If you're in MLM you still work for a corporate company, you just get fooled into thinking your not AND you don't get a salary. If Amway goes out of business tomorrow what are you gonna do with your Amway business? Nothing... guess you don't own your own business. Suckers.

    It's funny because they mention by you joining them you are sticking it to the corporate world. You are being freed from the man.

    I've gotten numerous Facebook messages regarding ViSalus. I'm sure it's the same thing. I see faceook friends with nothing regarding employment than suddenly morph into "regional director" of ViSalus... Seems fishy

    These things are bull**** from top to bottom. To be a successful bull****ter, the first step is believing your own bull****. Everyone who "works" for one of these companies is engaged in deep self-deception. They have to be, because most people would be ashamed to see how far they've allowed themselves to sink for just the image (but not the actuality) of wealth and independence. That's basically the lowest bar right there.

    I think this is true. Like I said earlier, I hate all MLM'ers pretty much, even the successful ones because for some strange reason they wont admit that it's all a pee-pee game. They all pretend to buy into the crap.

    OK, I've ignored this all the way until now but I can't anymore. WTF is a pee-pee game? You mention it every post.

    I was not talking about just physical labor. Plenty of people "bust their ass" doing a regular 9-5 job.

    When you deal with MLM's it is on par to getting hit in the junk. Better?

    I don't think my guy is faking anything. He also quit his full-time job after doing acn part time. You would have to be an idiot to quit a job and do this if you are just making scraps. He says he makes over 10k per month and I believe him.

    most MLMers do fake it but like you i know one that isn't because i've seen his checks. but he doesn't flaunt his success with fancy cars. he's actually quite prudent with his finances.
