I was talking with a guy yesterday who come to find out was involved with a company called Melaleuca. I’m not overly familiar with the company or the system around it but I’ve heard of it before and met representatives before. It seems like there are a lot of these ‘programs’ out there today. I’m seeing more now than ever. All over the Internet and everywhere you go you are seeing ads on how to make money on twitter, get rich quick, multi-level marketing, etc. What is driving these programs?
You look at our current economic situation and I have to wonder how much the rate of unemployment has to do with this. Is the need for income driving this marketplace? It actually reminds me on another marketplace that has been driven by a similar focus; the investment industry. When the investment industry started advertising people became drawn to the idea of big positive returns, making money and getting rich. The industry is driven by greed and supports the greed through advertising and media talking about amazing returns that most people will never see. It is such a complicated world that some people try to do it themselves and fail. Then some people come across some guy that is in the newspaper, at a networking event or holding a seminar/diner. Does he help them?
People today are seeing who makes most of the money in the investment industry. Don’t get me wrong there are plenty of investors that do well. It is just that they might not do well (that’s called risk). It is ‘Wall Street’ that is going to do well no matter what. I’ll let you define who ‘Wall Street’ is. My question is: Having ‘Wall Street’ exposed makes me wonder, how is a MLM, or whatever you call them, any different? Many will try, few will make money, even less will make good money and the one that will truly profit is the company on the back end. Sound about right?
