Direct Sales and Multilevel marketing. Are these legitimate  businesses to be involved in?  Have you ever heard of Avon or Amway. These are billion dollar companies. Avon has been around since 1886.

Why do so many people look down at anyone who works an MLM business or is involved in direct sales? I am so tired of having people look down their noses at me because they think that my business is a scam or I am involved in some under ground illegal pyramid scheme.

People who are in physiology or finances are the ones who give me the worst rap. I guess it might be that they had to go to school for eight to ten years and run up 100,000 dollars in student loans, and now they are stuck in a job that occupies seventy to eighty hours a week of their time.

My job is around my schedule. I make my own hours and appointments. I don’t have thousands of dollars in student loans. I don’t put in seventy hours a week on my job, unless I want too. I don’t have to answer to a boss, who tells me when I take a lunch or if I am going to take a lunch. My vacations are whenever I want to take them.

The way I see it,  having a JOB  is being in prison. You had to pay all that money to finance an education, so that you could get a job, that takes all of your time.  It might take you ten years or more to pay off your student loans.

I am not against education. No way. We all should get an education and learn. I love to learn and I am always learning. I wish I knew back when I was younger, what I know now, about how money works. How the wealthy exchange their money for time, and the rest of the population exchange their time for money. My friends are putting in seventy to eighty hours a week for a paycheck. The wealthy have learned how to use their money to work for them in exchange for time.

Time is the most valued commodity there is. It’s what we all want more of. You can work for someone else and use all your time to get money or you can learn how to use your money to work for you and in exchange you get more time. Time that you can use as you wish.

Multilevel marketing and direct sales offers you a chance to start a business of your own at a minimum investment. It does take work and time to build your business, but you can do this at the pace you set to adjust for your family and their needs. Full or part time. You decide.

With our economy still struggling, more and more people are looking to the MLM industry to fulfill a dream to work for themselves or to bring in another stream of income.

It won’t cost you $100,000 dollars and it won’t take seventy or eighty hours a week of your time. But there are people in this industry that are making $100,000 dollars a year or $100,000 dollars a month. You just might find a very rewarding and lucrative business that will give you a comfortable lifestyle and more of your time back to you, to do as you please.

Through direct sales and multilevel marketing businesses, people are learning how to get more of their money working for them. Don’t let anyone look down their nose at what you do. They might  just be  jealous.
