		<description>Stepanie, how interesting! So Network Marketing utilities is coming to Hawaii, eh? I think you guys may have something going there. Make sure you look for the deregulation of electricity and jump on board when it comes!</description>

		<description>Thanks for this; I was looking for inspiration and I found it.  Network marketing isn't really what I thought I'd ever do but our community is really getting turned on to this one, because it's a utility - VoIP, which is coming anyway, and people here (in Hawaii) at least hate our phone company.  Anyway I'm pretty psyched about it even though it's hard to stay positive with all the programmed negativity.  Wish people could see this type of marketing could be the way to free us from economic slavery.  Aloha and have a great day!</description>

		<description>Interesting way to put it, Sam: "pay it forward". You know, I think you may have something there!</description>

		<description>What most people don't realize about MLM is that it is different from a pyramid scheme, which has the understandably bad reputation of collapsing unexpectedly while the guy at the top runs out the back door with a sack of money. MLM is more like pay it forward. But with money-service exchange, not favors.</description>

		<description>Exactly, Joanna! And that's the point! In fact, we felt exactly the same way until we started looking "under the hood" to see the underlying principles. In fact, this business model is built upon the premise of helping others, and that's what won us over!</description>

		<description>Hi Robert, it sounds like you're having fun exploring this new business model - and why not transform a few lives as you go along...?:-)

Your story is a good reminder of the need to look beyond the words (or labels) to what's really going on.  We can get hung up on words and their associations and miss out on a lot of good stuff as a consequence.

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Lillie: &lt;i&gt;THANK&lt;/i&gt; you!!!! Yes, that's exactly the problem! False expectations can really cause people to fail with this type of business. Even so, it's still a viable business model (in my humble opinion), when done right. Thanks for chipping in, Lillie!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Danny: If you hum a few bars, I think I can fake it... :-)&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>Reminds me of a song... "If you buy this record your life will be better".

Would you believe it did quite badly in the charts? :-D</description>

		<description>Robert,
I'm a believer in network marketing - in fact I wrote a book on the subject (now out of print). I think the reason MLM has such a bad name is that so many people don't achieve their dreams. It takes a lot of commitment and work - like anything else worthwile - and it's easier for people who don't succeed to blame the system  than to take responsibility for their own failure/lack of commitment. Although it does take time, commitment, and work to succeed, I think network marketing is the best way for a person without a lot of capital or exceptional talent to achieve business success.</description>
