I wasn't trying to be ...To Anonymous at 3:31PM<br /><br />I wasn't trying to be ambiguous about Retiring and Quitting. <br /><br />I meant that people who are positive about Networking Marketing claim they don't quit because they love what they do. Hence they don't Retire. People who are negative about Network Marketing claim that no one can Retire because the downlines will vanish and so will their incomes, thus making it impossible.<br /><br />Then I pointed out that an MLM Guru by the name of Tim Sales has videos online (I know because one of my friends showed me his videos as he tried to introduce me to the WATKINS business) explaining that people can't fail at Network Marketing, they can only Quit.<br /><br />I am not conflicted about MLM Businesses, I was trying to show both sides, as a Welder obviously my insight isn't that great, and I apologize. I just don't see the point in being critical of a business, instead I am extremely critical of people and how they choose to behave. <br /><br />Did the Mary Kay Business tell my wife's friend to invite us over for a nice meal only to spring a Sales Party on us? No, whether her upline told her to or not, she chose to do that to us. Niel would say that some people accuse the industry of being a cult, which means mind control correct? I laughed when he told me that. He isn't going to control my actions, nor is anyone else, I CHOOSE how I behave. And so should everyone else... correct? How is that the businesses fault?<br /><br />Annoymous - all I know for sure is that for anyone to "Retire" from something (business or job) they will need to generate an income from some kind of investment or investments. Whether it be Rental Properties, Business Ventures, Stocks, Bonds, CD's ect.<br /><br />I never joined a MLM business because I hate most people, I don't enjoy meeting new people... makes me extremely uncomfortable. Plus I tend to get really angry when people act stupid, and when you hang around long enough that's what people do. I have 3 close friends and that suits me just fine.<br /><br />I don't know about you, but I have never made a life decision based on how much money someone can make at it. So you make 6 Figures in the corporate world? Kudos, yet that doesn't mean I want to work their too. I like working with metal, it doesn't have opinions and it never misbehaves.<br /><br />Does that clarify where I am coming from?

That is why diamonds are flying all over the country to speak at events.

You are friendly with others who are in MLMs, and you know five of them who make six-figure profits.<br /><br />You're ambiguous about "quitting" and "retirement," almost as if you were afraid to commit yourself one way or the other.<br /><br />What gives here? You claim not to be in any MLM but you carefully refuse to say anything critical about MLMs. There must be some reason why you didn't join into any of the eight MLMs that approached you.

What they have all done is "Retired" from working the 40 plus hours a week routine (for someone else) to go full time in there own businesses (40 hours a week routine for themselves) and their teams.<br /><br />That being said, my friend who has been in Quickstar/Amway for a number of years has told me that some platniums, rubies, and sapphires on his team "Retired". <br /><br />I couldn't imagine retirement from such low levels, yet I met a kid in Usana Health Sciences "Neil Vincelette" and he had reached a level that allowed him to buy up quite a few rental properties. I don't know that he still builds his mlm, but last I saw him he wasn't working a job.<br /><br />I think that MLM Guru Tim Sales said it best when he said: "No one fails at Network Marketing, they quit." Perhaps as Joe Cool has pointed out "No one retires from Amway, they quit."<br /><br />I honestly don't know, as I don't own a Network Marketing Powered business. I am simply a welder, who hasn't joined any of the 8 MLM companies that I have been introduced to. For the most Part I hate people...

You can try to sell yout Amway business but in Amway, you are required to offer it upline first. But why would upline buy your Amway business if you will end up forfeiting your downline if you can't sell you Amway business? For this reason and because of the attrition rate, I believe nobody "retires" and walks away from Amway. They keep working or die on the job.Joecoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121920263105613498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-78401952768783152912018-08-22T17:29:33.338-07:002018-08-22T17:29:33.338-07:00Honestly I couldn't name one, nor could I name...Honestly I couldn't name one, nor could I name that guy who retired from McDonalds in Ireland last week. The old MLM Myth is no one retires from something they love, yet skeptics maintain that they need to replace the downlines as they quit. My humble opinion (what ever that is worth) is that most people don't retire from entrepreneurial businesses, they sell them. Retirement is something someone does when they have invested enough income that they wish to stop working at the place in which they are employed.<br /><br />Regardless of the views I have to say this (Because it's what my father always said about MLM/Amway)<br /><br />"Making a living spending time with friends instead of punching a clock would be an amazing way to life your life, perhaps far better than the alternative. That being said, if you honestly believe that eventually there will come a day when you simply sit on your ass while a 6 figure income rolls in... I got some news for you... that is NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN!" -My Dad<br /><br />Your going to have to work your ass off either way - what you make and how you make will always be your decision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-19201612541113302992018-08-22T16:03:56.745-07:002018-08-22T16:03:56.745-07:00You can name all these people who retired early. ...You can name all these people who retired early.
