6 holidays booked over the next 12 months

An ex colleague on FB has recently set up her own FM/NM travel business and most of her posts are now about the latest holiday she has booked, and the six different destinations she and her family are going to over the coming months, mostly long haul. In her posts she claims she isn't bragging as that's not her style, but then goes on to list all the places she's going Hmm

Feeling quite envious that she can have all these holidays when many people, including me, have no prospect in sight of any holiday Sad

Not sure why I'm posting really, just needed to get it out. Perhaps I should set up an NM business too.

I don't know how those in MLM apparently make huge, life changing amounts of money and are so smug about it, especially if it is all a lie.

It's basically a legal scam based on the saying 'A fool and his money are soon parted'.

The idea is to give the impression that you are making loads of money when in reality you are just trying to recruit people.

Recruiting is how you actually make money, it's nothing to do with the product. So if you want to make money you have to sell the lie that you are already raking it in. This tempts people to join. But only the foolish.

If you don't recruit, you lose money so most MLM marketers go broke.
