I stumbled on your site by accident. I’ve been doing Mk for over 20yrs. I’ve experienced all the negative aspects of OWNING one’s own business. It’s surprising to me that you would spend so much time thinking and persuading others to be more negative. You must not be very successful …
Written by Raisinberry One lie leads to another, leads to another, leads to another… Kind of like Mary Kay boiling a frog without the frog noticing. Back in the day, my earth science teacher told us that the way a frog is wired, being a reptile and all, you could …
Dr. Jon Taylor, a prominent fighter against the multi-level marketing industry passed away on August 2 at the age of 81. Dr. Taylor conducted some very important research on MLM, and published numerous articles as well as multiple books on the topic. His website MLM: The Truth has been a …
