It seems that for awhile now multi level marketing has attracted every Tom, Dick and Harry into believing a retirement plan is necessary for the soon future.
Just like any business you invest hard work and time In, I don't doubt reaching a state of financial freedom is possible. But what I can't agree with is the person I've seen so many become in order to make sales.

I understand that business can be ruthless sometimes, but the foundation of every business should thrive from integrity that I see so many multi level marketers preach, yet flake away of their own self awareness.
It's a lifestyle that would only suck the life out of me regardless of a decent profit margin.

Maybe I'm inexperienced and have only witnessed amateurs in the game who're still learning the fundamentals of becoming a good salesman, but it still doesn't hide the big lie that only the smallest percentile will succeed while using the joining fees of the drop outs in personal gain.


My question isn't that specific, but what are your thoughts on MLM and the lifestyle you have to create in order to succeed? Is it worth it?

No, it's not worth it. If you're a good enough salesman to sell BS products go out there and sell some cars. Even better than that, create your own business and sell $50,000 jobs, sites, contracts, etc.

Besides that point, you're on the wrong side of the equation if you're a salesman for someone else. Instead of working to make money and giving the rest of the profit to your boss, be the boss and make people work for you. Then you can mostly sit around all day and let your workers do the selling.
