Having been in this industry since 1972, but more seriously since 1996; I have an opinion or two about what is screwed up. For the record, most of my efforts have been in health and wellness.
It is difficult for me to clearly describe what I see. Network marketing turns people into camouflaged predators, like the Big Bad Wolf in Little Red Riding Hood.
A very successful and beloved associate of mine that was earning about $30K yearly after just two years quit and walked away from the business and industry. Maureen said, "she just wanted to be able to meet new people without thinking of them as a prospect."
The second thing about network marketing that I think is really, really screwed up is it pretending to be the answer to every ones' economic challenges. The idea that is so commonly promoted is that, "if you just follow me, all your problems will pass away." It's like you are telling folks that if they will just step over here and push this big red reset button; everything will straighten itself out in their lives.
Presenting the potential as the probable might be a shorter way of expressing my viewpoint.
Enough for now.
Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?
