Network marketing and Party Plan don’t enjoy the most palatable public perceptions these days, mostly because of the greed, fear, laziness, ignorance and stupidity of people, networks and companies operating in direct selling.
Because they lack the vision and discipline needed to invest the necessary time and effort to produce results by legitimate means, too many “leaders” opt for the “quick fix” — always identifiable by one or more of these hallmarks…
- No discipline required
- No time required
- No effort required
- No relationships (they’re merely a disposable means to a selfish end)
We have an obligation to warn people when we see them at risk. It would be easy for us to simply say “buyer beware” and leave it to the authorities to eventually regulate the industry out of existence. But that’s not good enough. We want this industry to prosper, and take its rightful place as the most enlightened form of free enterprise ever to evolve.
So we’ll post bulletins here from time to alert you to potentially dangerous, self-defeating trends and methods as we see them arise. This is offered as a general comment, not as professional advice, and you should seek competent professional opinion before acting on anything that appears on this web site.

This is not just about illegal schemes and operations. Those are eventually corrected by either regulatory action, litigation or market forces.
We’re talking about questionable methods, shonky tactics and short- sighted attitudes that hurt inexperienced people and damage the relationships on which true success is built in this industry — and which create negative public perceptions of our industry.
Get a penetrating insight into the vital importance of relationships in this system of business – you’ll never see them in the same way again!
