Network Marketing Is A Scam - MLM Is A Scam

Sometimes you just have to laugh…

Have you ever noticed that 99% of the people who claim that Network Marketing is a scam, or MLM is a scam, are broke?

Have you ever noticed that broke people listen to other broke people for financial advice?

It’s easy to fall into the herd mindset in life isn’t it… just follow the herd and you’ll end up stepping in a bunch of cow patties. Well so and so said… let me tell you what I heard… I know that network marketing is a scam because my uncle Harry told me.

Why is it that we don’t look for people who are successful and ask them? Before we had massive success in MLM or Network Marketing (whatever you want to call it) we didn’t think it was a scam, we just didn’t think we could have success…

And we were right! As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

If you are hearing that network marketing is a scam very often, you are talking to people with a “poor poor pitiful me” mindset. The best thing you could possibly do for them is suggest that they read the book, “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill. There is nothing you can do for people who believe our industry, the very industry that has changed the lives of so many “normal” people, is a scam… except become successful.

Even when you are successful they will claim that you just got lucky and who needs that?

We’re going to have to find some pictures and videos from our 7 week vacation, maybe that will help them!

    Scott, what a great post. It is amazing that people have to tear someone down to try and make them feel better. The MLM, Network Marketing Industry gives everyday people their best shot at changing their life. It is sad our industry is so misunderstood. Keep sharing the truth and helping the ones who will listen.

    Thanks,

    The real SCAM

    The real scam is we’ve been taught get a job and work the rest of your life for someone else to get rich. Or, go to college get a career. Either way you are trading time for money and are at the mercy of others.

    Doing a good job at work does not mean you get paid what your worth. You get paid according to who your friends are. SCAM

    Excutives get nice new offices and workers don’t even have decent bathrooms. SCAM

    Scott: I have a brother who works 10 hours a day, umpires baseball until late at night and he laughs at me for working a home based business. Not that I want to laugh at him, but I can’t wait until my Wife & I take a 7 week vacation & we can show him our pictures & video’s. Of course he’ll have to wait to see them when he’s not so busy working & umpiring.

    Scott, you hit the nail on the had.

    People who claim the MLM is a “scam” are not the people to listen to. People have found and continue to find varying degrees of success in this industry each and every day. The people who claim it to be a “scam” are the people still sitting in their cubicles, on the factory line, or at home unemployed.

    It all comes down to mindset and determination.

    Thanks for sharing!

    After being in Multi Level Marketing for awhile now, I’ve adopted a Then, Now and Hereafter policy: Then: when I first started I got a lot of people calling it a scam and it bothered me. I tried to explain the difference but I couldn’t convince them.

    I learned, from training, that you don’t argue or try to convince anyone,
    because,”a person convinced against their will is of the same opinion still.”

    Now: I say next, this is not who I’m looking for.

    Here After: I now qualify that individual by first interviewing them to find out
    if he/she is the type of person that I’m looking for, realizing that even after they have signed up that most will pique at that moment.

    Also, I’ve come to realize that recruiting is an Ongoing process;
    recruit, recruit, recruit and work with the willing.

    Most people have a mind set that enslaves them. If you have a dream you’re really already very rich! Just don’t give in, don’t give out, don’t give up.

    Scott: I couldn’t agree more. I have a brother who works 10 hours a day, then umpires baseball until late at night. He laughs at me and says that I won’t get anywhere with “the phony scam that I’m involved with.” I look forward to the day when I can show him my video’s and pictures of our 7 week vacation. Of course he’ll have to see them when he’s not working or umpiring. I guess he’ll have quite a wait.
