Over the last 30 years I have built a substantial business in MLM. When I found myself a single mother of 3 young children without any financial support, it allowed me to not become a swingle mother statistic and be financially independent. I was also able to be present and support my family including paying private school tuition and college. My 3 kids have no college debt- including law school.

MLM is hard work. Gyms are not a scam because the majority of people who join quit when they don’t see instant results and it’s too hard. MLM is no different. I succeeded because I came in already having experience as an entrepreneur, understanding being an entrepreneur means working hard for very little in the beginning. It means giving up something in order to have the consistent time to build the skills necessary to succeed.

I gave up sleep, tv, lots of social things in order to find the time to build my business. Most people are unwilling to make those sacrifices. I dealt with no shows, rejection from family and friends and those naysayers like you who stand on the outside and make sweeping assumptions about a profession that many women depend on.

I know this intimately from the hundreds of people, largely woman, that I have poured blood sweat and tears into helping them build something that would give them the flexibility to be home with their kids. I have helped many become large 6 and 7 figure earners. There are many who had the same opportunity, who liked the benefits of the business but didn’t want to do the work to have those benefits- just like many people want to be toned and fit, but must people are not.

I have helped woman all over the world- including in countries like Iran where opportunity is limited. My company doesn’t do business in Iran, but I have volunteered my time because I know MLM works.

I am not sure why you have such strong negative opinions about something you know so little about? You seem more determined to be right(cherry picking from the Nerium suit) than perhaps be open to the idea there is a lot you don’t understand.
