If the product is honest, and not over priced, and the person keeps his 
perspectives in the right place, I suppose that it would be all right. But all 
the people that I've ever seen get wrapped up in multi-marketing had their eye 
on one thing. If you needed help at church, these people were to busy getting 
rich. They constantly wanted you to take time out of your busy schedule to hear 
what they wanted to tell you, but often times could not even take time to come 
to church regular. And surprising enough, when you needed a little extra help to 
meet a church bill, or help someone, they were the ones that never had the money 
to give.

I think that it's always the same people on the top levels of most of these 
multi-marketing things. It doesn't take much math to figure, that if your not 
among the very first to get in, that you'll run out of people to have under you 
pretty quick. I've read that through seven people, you can find someone, that 
through seven contacts, can know anyone in the USA. Than means that 
multi-marketing schemes have probably peaked out by the time that they've got to 
me or you.

And no... it's not like working for a company. I put in a honest days work for a 
honest days pay. I don't promise what I can't deliver.
