Let's address the elephant in the room.....Multi Level Marketing companies!!

It's not for everyone. It may be something you're against with every fibre of your being. It may be something that one day you realize the potential and join. It may be something you jump all over the moment you see it. 

Either way you look at it, it is still a REAL JOB!! 

I've seen many people bash MLM's (I used to be one of them) until I watched many friends and even other VERY SUCCESSFUL business people get on board. I always thought "I don't want to be THAT girl" and plus I have HATE sales. Never liked it. Never will. 

But my perception of MLM's began to change watching these friends and their success and being a "business-minded" person I decided to look more into it. 

NOT every MLM or product is for you. 

I've been approached from just about every MLM company you can imagine and I've turned them all down. People think that because I'm on the radio I'll be able to "sell" it easy and if they just got me on board customers would come rolling in. NOT THE CASE. 

I don't care who you are - famous, rich, own your own company or perhaps looking for work...you STILL have to WORK this business just like anything else. MLM's are no different than walking into a store and having the sales clerk try to sell you on the latest product or the newest fashion. MLM promoters just have the advantage of using social media as opposed to having a store front that people walk into. And guess what? Not having a store front SAVES money and hopefully (depending on the company) goes back into the pockets of promoters. 

What baffles me more than anything are people who are "looking for opportunities" and don't currently have a job but bash MLM's. If I didn't have a job you can bet your bottom dollar I'd be swallowing my pride and NOT turning down an opportunity. Would an MLM be my first choice? Perhaps not but if you're desperate enough why turn down an opportunity that COULD be something great, that COULD give you time freedom, that COULD give you financial freedom. 

Whether you have a job or not, joining an MLM could open opportunities up that you never imagined possible. Does it mean you have to quit your job? Absolutely not. I STILL go to work everyday just like everyone else with "real" jobs (as I've seen people call it) but guess what? I saw an OPPORTUNITY, I was already TAKING the product and it's absolutely blown me away. 

So keep bashing MLM's and calling it "not a real job" but I know PLENTY of people that are VERY VERY successful outside of MLM's that most people couldn't even come close to giving them a run for their money join these companies. They SAW an opportunity and took it...they didn't bash it.

Am I apart of an MLM? ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY!!! Am I successful in the "real" world? You bet I am. Did I see an opportunity, take it and have it pay off? MORE THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. 

If your aren't interested then that's completely fine but there's no need to bash someone who is getting out there and TRYING to better themselves and create a future for their family. That's like giving crap to an overweight person at the gym actually working out. At least they're at the gym TAKING steps to lose weight.
