Eric starts off by providing some math for everyone. View your business like a retail store that’s open for 365 days of the year. If the store is closed for one day, you lose one-third of 1% of your revenue. If you have to close your store for six days, then you lose about 2% of your revenue. What if a semi-truck runs into your store, and you have to close it down completely for 60 days? Then 20% of your revenue is gone, and there is no way you can get it back.

Here is why Network Marketing is not a “pyramid scheme”.
James Reilly first posted Is Network Marketing a Pyramid Scheme?| Life on Valentus SlimRoast.
Is network marketing a pyramid scheme? It’s one of the most common questions asked by people looking into network marketing. In this video, Simon Prentice of Rich Grads will finally explain the difference between a legitimate multi-level marketing (MLM) business – or more commonly referred as Network Marketing – and an illegal pyramid scheme.
DISCLAIMER: I PRESENT THIS INFORMATION FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY.

James Reilly first posted 4 Signs that a Job is a Pyramid Scheme / Scam (in 3.5 minutes) on Valentus SlimRoast.
Multi-level marketing, network marketing, pyramid schemes, whatever you want to call them, are doomed…
At first glance a bold pronouncement but, when it comes from someone as intimately involved in the MLM scene as Larry Crisp, one of the industry’s biggest success stories of recent times, perhaps every one of the 16 million US citizens attempting to derive an income from it should be taking notice.
Billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman and representatives of the National Consumers League will certainly be listening intently to what former stockbroker Crisp has to say in light of their ongoing calls for an investigation into the way one of the largest MLM’s — Herbalife — is operated. The way the iconic firm has been criticized of late is the tip of the iceberg for Crisp who admits: “After more than 50 criticism-plagued years, the MLM world is facing its biggest challenge to date. Whether it’s Amway, Nikken, or Isagenix, I believe there’ll be a seismic shift in 2013, in fact, it is already underway with Ackman and others calling into question the viability of the industry as a whole.” There’s new opportunities out there that will transcend traditional mlm’s.

[Pause] >>Skeptic: But don’t you have to get in
early to make any money? >>Pawz: Actually, in a good network marketing
company, you can make more money than the people above you if you are more productive.
>>Skeptic: Are you sure it isn’t a pyramid scheme?
>>Pawz: Yes >>Skeptic: How are you so sure?
>>Pawz: A pyramid scheme is where you make all of your money by recruiting others and
there is no product or service being exchanged. >>Skeptic: It still sounds like a pyramid
scheme. >>Pawz: In a legitimate network marketing
company you make most or all of your money from people using the products.

>>Skeptic: A pyramid. >>Pawz: Are you understanding my point?
>>Skeptic: Yes. I had no idea there were so many pyramid schemes out there.
[Pawz is baffled] >>Skeptic: Do you really think you can make
money with your pyramid scheme? >>Pawz: According to the US Department of
Labor and the Direct Selling Association, with the same time and effort I’m five times
more likely to earn over one hundred thousand dollars in network marketing than at my life
sucking job. >>Skeptic: Yes. I hate my job too. That is
why I play the lotto every day after work. 16-22-84 baby.
[Pause] >>Pawz: Maybe you should start your own business
also instead of completely leaving your future to chance.
[Skeptic looks stunned] >>Skeptic: But I have heard people say negative
things about network marketing. >>Pawz: Like who?
>>Skeptic: Like my Brother-in-law. >>Pawz: Is he wealthy?
>>Skeptic: No. >>Pawz: Does he own his own business?
>>Skeptic: No. >>Pawz: Would you consider him a credible
expert on the subject? >>Skeptic: No.
>>Pawz: Would you consider him a credible expert on any subject?
>>Skeptic: Not really. [Pause-the two stare at one another-Pawz shakes
head in disbelief] >>Skeptic: But why do some people say that
network marketing doesn’t work? >>Pawz: For the same reason that some people
think that our government’s social security program is sustainable; total ignorance.
>>Skeptic: Are there any credible experts that support network marketing?
>>Pawz: Have you heard of Robert Kiyosaki; the author of one of the top selling financial
books of all time? >>Skeptic: No

marketing. >>Skeptic: And you think these people are
more credible experts than my Brother-in-law? [Pause]
>>Pawz: Yes. [Pause]
>>Skeptic: I still think it sounds like a pyramid scheme.
[Pawz is baffled] >>Pawz: Are you kidding me? Have you been
listening to anything that I have said? >>Skeptic: Yes, but I still think it is a
pyramid scheme. >>Pawz: Can you please explain your argument?
>>Skeptic: I just think it is a pyramid scheme. [Pause]

recruit me? >>Pawz: No.
>>Skeptic: Why not? >>Pawz: I thought you said it was a pyramid
scheme? >>Skeptic: I did, but I think I want to join
