Over the decades, with every network marketing company I' ve participated in, I've heard people ask, "Is this a Pyramid Scheme"?
This never ceases to amuse me, because 99% of these people are ALREADY LIVING IN A "PYRAMID SCHEME".
Basically, in a Pyramid Scheme, one or a few people on the "top" benefit from the work of everyone "below" them. And no matter how hard or intelligent these "bottom-dwellers" work, they can never attain the "top" position -or at best, can only do so by making it their life's agenda.
Does this sound eerily familiar to what you're already doing for work?
Do you have a boss?
If you do, does your work help their business prosper?
Is the possibility of your taking over their position conditional on their retirement, or other means of resignation (including death)?
Or do you work for a corporation?
If so, what would it take for you to become the CEO -or a board member?
Do you get to make the decisions on the policies at your work?
Now there's a legal definition of a "Pyramid Scheme", and you can read all about it here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_schemes
-However, as I've just illustrated, the legal definition of a Pyramid Scheme isn't the only kind of Pyramid Scheme to watch out for.
Regarding Network Marketing, or Multi-Level Marketing (MLM), which are LEGAL business formats, it comes down to whether you connect with the products, the company vision, and have a vision for yourself where you're free to do the things you want in your life *when* you want to do them -and if you're willing to unplug from the "Matrix" -that system that is only interested in you making an elite few rich, with little or no prospect for you to ever have the kind of freedoms they enjoy.
Are you willing to "unplug", and reprogram yourself through conscious business systems that empower you to live the life of your dreams while helping others do the same -and collectively transforming the world by democratizing wealth?
