We just want you to thrive, like we do bro. How can you expect to love others and others to love you, if you don't love yourself enough to not only live, but thrive?

You can, and nearly all do, but you're not.

I'm seeing lots of Lularoe lately. It's clothing.

It's leggings and dresses in crazy prints. Mormon owned. Really pushing the stay at home Mom crowd.

I live in Utah. Apparently this is the MLM capital of the world. Bored mormon housewives whose husbands won't let them leave the house.

Who cares if you're "getting heat" for not buying anything. Tell them to GFTS and go about your day. Who cares what they think?

If it was this kind of Rodan I would buy. Not whatever the crap they're selling is.

that is my point. what business do they own? they are sales reps who buy the product first.

Funny. I was watching the new Scientology channel last night, and this show "Inglewood" (I think) focused on black people in L.A. This one woman was talking about how she always knew her goal was to be a "business owner." She didn't care what kind of business, she just wanted to be the owner. So it's fitting that she's promoting a church that was founded as a MLM scheme.

i don't believe this is an MLM, at least I don't think BRK.A would own an MLM business.

My wife and I are going to start a MLM that sells colored super glue as a lip stick. It is a combo weight loss / beauty / marriage help product. But we haven't come up with a good marketing name yet.

It's brushing up against it, however...

Be a Consultant

How many times have you heard someone say how much they love Pampered Chef, or how many times have you said it yourself? And wouldn't it be great to make money talking to people about how much you love it? If so, then maybe you should be a consultant. As a Pampered Chef consultant, you'll bring people together and show them how the right tools and recipes make everyday cooking simpler, tastier, and more memorable. It might surprise you how much it changes your life and the lives of others.

I took a marketing class once and I recommend "SHADDUP BEACH". Where do I send my invoice for services rendered?

Interesting that there's a MLM scam selling clown clothes for dumpy women. Seems like too niche of a market if you ask me.

I'll just stick with my Invigaron. The reverse funnel system is the best.

This **** is still around? Is it the patch? I thought surely that stuff would have caused some heart palpitations or something by now.

Unfortunately Rodan and Fields is a really great skin care line. I don't actually sell it, but I do buy it. I reluctantly tried it after I saw my mom's results. The best item (IMO) is their last boost. My eye lashes look fake they are so long. I get compliments all the time.

The real consultants hate people like me. I actually signed up to be a consultant in name only just so me and a few others could get the discounts. I don't market it or anything. I paid the minimum to sign and only activate my account when I need to order something. We pool our resources and wait until we all need something, then I go online and activate my consultant account. I place my order along with everyone else's, get all of the discounts, samples, and items only available to consultants. When the commission comes in, whatever is left after I pay back the activation cost (if any) get split with the people who ordered stuff based on the % purchased. So basically it's just more off the cost of the product. It makes it more affordable.

But the skin care line really is pretty good.

Skrangeo probably uses it, so it must be good.

So basically you have to do more work/organizing with friends/family to get their product for approximately what they should be selling it retail instead of unnecessarily giving additional markup to someone else? Interesting.

Why would they hate people like you? You're still an addition to their downline or whatever it's called. Not a high earner for them, but not like they are having to spend any extra time/money on you.

And the company still loves it because the "well I use the product anyway so it's actually smart for me to pay to be a consultant and get the discount person" is a key part of their business plan.
