Direct Selling - What is your opinion?

Before I get started on the subject of Network Marketing, Direct Selling, MLM, and so on. I thought that I would start with the question "What are your feelings about that industry?" I would like to hear from people who have both succeeded and failed. I would like to talk about which opportunities you tried. Why you think that you have succeeded or failed. There are many different companies out there, and many people involved as distributors. I believe the hope that they bring back into peoples lives is what most attracts us to them. Sort of a Plan B approach to making money. And logically it has to work. It is worth trying anyway. Isn't it? I mean what if it works, what if my friend or relative showing me this idea does it and I don't? All these went through my head the first time I sat down to presentation. That is after the several months of me putting him off, until I finally said if I come will you stop bothering me? My life has been forever changed since then. I will tell more as days come, but first I would like to hear from some of you.

Welcome

In this past month our country voted for a new President. Both parties have their pros and cons. Both parties have their differences. What I think surprises me the most, is how divided our country has become on some issues. There are absolute truths. Without them we are giving up what the signers of The Declaration of Independence fought and died for. I believe that common sense has been lost through generations. I believe that self government or taking responsibility for one actions are gone. Those are some of the principles that made this country great. Our country has come to point where saving money on Christmas shopping (not Holiday shopping) is more important than a persons life. I am sure you have heard about the poor gentleman at a store in New York that was trampled to death after the doors were opened. Reports say that some people were angry that they closed the store down and they couldn't shop any more. I bet the family of that worker doesn't care to save money on their Christmas shopping. What dollar amount can you add to a human life?



In the next several post I will share from some of the books I have read about Leadership and will also share some of my current experiences. I am very young in my journey, and do not intend to ever sound like I know everything. I will say that I look forward to many discussions from all angles and views of leadership development and network marketing.
