I'm not in anyway condoning it, but at least drug dealers live in the real world, with quantifiable supply and demand, profit and loss, defined geographic areas and competition.

And their products do something. Shock

I'm not a drug dealer by the way.

LMFTFY I don't think they work out their hourly rate as they don't actually want to sit down and work out how much they are truly working on their business.

You see I thought I was working a lot on mine, (goal boards, online trainings, ordering business cards, mindset books/audible etc) but I was told in trainings that most think they're doing work to move their business forward but they're not. They're not doing IPA (income producing activities) I might be replying to messages from customers or team members but is that message actually bringing me in money? possibly if that customer purchases something or that team member brings someone else on but that doesn't happen with every message

The income producing activities are bringing people into the business and getting them to do the same. But how many hours do you have to work to get someone to join your team? It's hard to quantify, especially if it takes you months of building the relationship with them in the first place.

So Vego saying she works 15-19 hours a day, a lot of that will just be her repeating herself to her downline with the questions they have on a daily basis or trying to explain the marketing plan to them as they don't fully understand it

The Shingles has left the building ......something I said ??????

Melaw21 · 25/02/2016 10:04

I could just imagine what a success day/recognition day would look like for the drug dealers.... Do the high up distributors go up on stage and get handed big bags of cash? Whilst being applauded by lots of bright eyed sash wearing street pushers?

The biggest 'MLM' cults already form a organised crime syndicate, under the banner of the so-called 'World Federation of Direct Selling Associations.'

This extract is from my pamphlet, 'The Universal Identifying Characteristics of a Cult.'

(I researched numerous criminogenic groups to arrive at these conclusions)

8). Structural mystification. The instigators of pernicious cults can continue to organize the creation, and/or dissolution, and/or subversion, of further (apparently independent) corporate structures pursuing lawful, and/or unlawful, activities in order to prevent, and/or divert, investigation and isolate themselves from liability. In this way, some cults survive all low-level challenges and spread like cancers enslaving the minds, and destroying the lives, of countless individuals in the process. At the same time, their leaders acquire absolute control over capital sums which place them alongside the most notorious racketeers in history. They operate behind ever-expanding, and changing, fronts of ‘commercial companies,’ and/or ‘non-profit-making associations,’ etc. Other than ‘religious /philosophical’ and ‘political’ movements and ‘secret societies,’ typical reality-inverting disguises for cultic crime are:

‘charity/ philanthropy’; ‘fund-raising’; ‘lobbying’ on topical issues (‘freedom’, ‘ethics’, ‘environment’, ‘human rights’, ‘women’s rights’, ‘child protection’, ‘law enforcement’, ‘social justice’, 'peace,' etc.); ‘publishing and media’; ‘education’; ‘academia’; ‘celebrity’; ‘patriotism’; ‘information technology’; ‘public relations’; ‘advertising’; ‘medicine’; ‘alternative medicine’; ‘nutrition’; ‘rehabilitation’; ‘manufacturing’; ‘retailing’; ‘direct selling/ marketing’; ‘multilevel marketing’; ‘network marketing’; ‘regulation’; ‘personal development’; ‘self-betterment’; ‘positive thinking’; ‘self-motivation’; ‘leadership training’; ‘life coaching’; ‘research and development’; ‘investment’; ‘real estate’; ‘sponsorship’; ‘bereavement/trauma counselling’; ‘addiction counselling’; ‘legal counselling’; ‘cult exit-counselling’; ‘financial consulting’; ‘management consulting’; ‘clubs’; etc.

Melaw- I should imagine a drug dealers success day would be full of wide-eyed bots, gurning, whooping, wailing and dancing around in wild abandon.....

cozietoesie · 25/02/2016 10:18

That's where I would disagree Oh so slightly, Eye. I suspect that in this modern era, with interlinking and Internet, many of the Stratospheric Ones are much more like cold, hard and dispassionate business people. And therefore making cold hard cynical decisions.

The Bottom Line is all.

shadowplay · 25/02/2016 10:19

The blue meth, of course. Smile

Fullyloaded1 · 25/02/2016 10:19

The 'MLM' phenomenon is what has resulted because modern liberal democracies have gradually removed all controls over self-perpetuating, non-rational, ritual belief systems; ironically, in the name of 'religious freedom and human rights.'

Legislators have completely failed to introduce any common-sense safeguards which take into account the somewhat obvious fact that non-rational ritual belief systems can be instigated, or perverted, for the clandestine purpose of human exploitation.

Centuries ago, the Roman Catholic Church held an absolute, and highly-profitable, monopoly over non-rational ritual belief, in Europe. When anyone tried to instigate their own ritual belief system by stealing the downline of a Catholic Bishop, the penalty was burning at the stake.

Essentially the same situation still exists in countries like Saudi Arabia, where only one non-rational ritual belief system is allowed.

Melaw21 · 25/02/2016 10:29

Oh #teamies, can I just say I love you all! 💗💗 the last few days on MN have been super and have really proved the purpose of what we are all doing!

The threads have achieved the perfect balance of comedy, serious chat, Information and support, as well as contribution (however contentious) from Bots themselves...

Im feeling the love today fellow #botwatchers #viestars #parslaiipussiies #mn'ers #exbots #bots #bloggers #lurkers #pigeons #truthtellers and #adherents!

Keep up the good work!

Merclady · 25/02/2016 10:33

My question for today for Natasha or any other business owners out there

Why if you are making so much money potential six figure income do you want others to continually sell the same product?

This makes no sense to me.If you continue to flood the market within a small area who is left to buy your products

Am I missing something?

LMGTFY · 25/02/2016 10:33

Ray that is exactly the point I was trying to prove and I would say I managed to do just that. IPA or spending an hour "having coffee with a friend next sucker in your sight " is all work, if I have a business meeting and a coffee it's still paid for in my working day (they even provide the coffee/milk/electric etc!). Every hour has to be accounted for otherwise you're effectively claiming to do 60 hours unpaid overtime a week!

shadowplay · 25/02/2016 10:34

Melaw - +1 from me. Totally agree.

crumpetsfortea37 · 25/02/2016 10:38

Basically, virtually (I add that in case there is some as yet undiscovered and uniquely different one) all mlms are the same.

  • whichever way you look at it the numbers don't add up: Market saturation, limited potential down lines, etc etc.
People may enjoy the social side, but they join for the mythical "uncapped income potential" and the system ensures that the vast majority are just cannon fodder.
Melaw21 · 25/02/2016 10:41

Well said merc LM and crumpets

You all raise some excellent points and questions...
