MLM

Multi Level Marketing
also known as MLM

Is it good or bad? 

Robert Kiyosaki (rich dad poor dad) seems to think its okay
Also the FTC (federal trade commission) says it's not illegal per se
Under one condition: 
One cannot receive a commission for a startup fee. 

MLM is a system where a business automates is selling by giving the 
consumers an incentive to sell. Because the consumers of the product receive the product
they can recoup or even possibly make more money on their investment by referring new customers who buy the product. 

MLM .... hmmm its interesting, because most companies dont offer this incentive. 

Think about if mcdonalds gave you half the profit of the next guy you brought into their franchise. Or what about your college, what if you received 50% of the tuition for bringing in your little brother?

Tons of people give praise to their favorite college, or their favorite brands. But do they ever get anything in return?

The only problem I could see is if someone we're solely relying on the commission to come from the MLM. IF that's all your getting is a business to sell, I wouldn't do it. But if you believe in the product, then I think its a great way to recoup your investment.

Welcome to age of non-privacy

I know alot of people who were worried when they heard about the wire tapping that the Bush administration was using, but I want to pose another important point... the internet.

You don't even need to wire tap these days. In fact the other day I had someone read my blog, (i seriously thought there weren't any readers, : )) and because of that we're going to end our relationship... 

google never forgets

Not to say that it's a bad thing, actually quite on the contrary I think we are both heading in similar but different directions and after a very smooth and easy conversation we both decided it would be better to be friends. 

Although this does point to a very important question...

If your reading my blog, why don't you become a fan?

Lack of Time, Money and other Society Programming

Do you ever feel like there's not enough time in a day?

Your right there isn't... but Why?

There isn't because we have too much, too much being demanded of ourselves, 
too much being bombarded on our doors, too much. In the world of interruption marketing 
there is little time to breathe or think.

Lack of time, lack of money and lack of energy. These three will get you if you don't choose to live by uncommon means. 

Timothy Ferris suggests a media fast
for one week, don't even read a paper, let alone touch the internet. 
sit in silence, and take some time for nothing. 

you might be suprised what inner demons come up to haunt you. 
The scary thing is they have always been there... your just clearing away enough of the noise to start hearing what you've got going on in your head.

Why is there this sinking feeling?

I have this sinking feeling when I was with her 
and it wouldn't really go away. It's strange how things that we Think will make us feel better, often never do.... its only the things we feel that will be better. 

That intuition sure knows.

Recession Proof?

The Gaming industry has held it's head high among the growing concerns of the recession. And Why? Everything else seems to be taking a hit, and yet video games are still growing. Is there something to be said about the most immersive entertainment, combining sight and sound and many different arts into one entertaining experience>?

Some people think that entertainment isn't important, or very lucrative. 
For instance most people look for psychology, or biology degrees. It takes a very brave, or crazy, artist to major in something like poetry. 

Yet maybe the game industry is throwing that old standard on it's face.

Long live the artists!

I think that it's strange there's a bird chirping really loud outside my window at 9:43 pm. In the dark it takes a special bird to keep making it's magical noises. Just like a human, it takes someone very special to be able to keep trying, singing, painting, drawing, playing... even when the lights go out. 

What does it take for you to become someone unshakable?
