I was driving around Oahu today, and some interesting thoughts concerning the network marketing industry popped into my mind. I always love the classic objection, 'Isn't that one of those Pyramid deals.' For some reason people never get tired of keeping themselves ignorant. First of all, lets talk a little bit about pyramids. These fascinating structures have intrigued mankind ever since they were built. We don't even know where they came from. They are probably the greatest architectural feat of all time, and they were used to entomb the Pharohs, or Gods of Ancient Egypt. They are filled with gold, treasures, royalty and endless amounts of speculation and mysticism.
Lets talk for a minute about a traditional job. First of all they suck. In our countries beginning 85% of people owned their own business, and the remaining 15% worked for them until they knew enough to go open up shop on their own. Why has this balance completely shifted? Who sold us the idea that it is better to slave away for someone else for 40 years... for 40 hours a week... just o we can retire on 40% of what wasn't enough in the first place? That has got to be the lamest system that I have ever heard of and yet we have over 80% of America subscribing to it. Fortune magazine did a poll as to whether or not people liked their jobs. The results came in: 85% of employees hate what they do and would leave the moment something better came along. Half of these monkeys still cry, 'PYRAMID SCHEME,' every time they hear about a network marketing company. Well genius, I'll tell you right now that I wouldn't trade what I do for you do. 40 hours a week, for 40 years to get 40%... hmmmmm... that sounds a lot more like digging a grave than it does building a furtune. By the time people are old enough to enjoy retirement they have one foot in both worlds. To top it off, people are working longer now; do you think you are going to retire at 65 in the traditional system? Well, per the social security administration, even right now at the age of 65, 98% of Americans are flat broke.
I'll tell you what: you dig your grave, I'll build my pyramid. Pyramids are a lot cooler than jobs anyways. Pyramids are the greatest architectural feat in modern history; they are associated with gods and riches. Jobs just plane stink, if you have ever had one, you know exactly what I am talking about. Is network marketing a pyramid structure? Absolutely. In network marketing we have the opportunity to be like a pharaoh and build our own pyramid. Every person that joins an MLM has the opportunity to be at the top of their own personal pyramid. News flash: jobs are pyramids too, the only difference is the CEO of your company is at the top, and you are at the bottom. Wouldn't you rather be the CEO of You INC? Wouldn't you rather start your own pyramid from top as the CEO than spend 40 years trying to work your way up from the bottom of someone elses? It just makes sense doesn't it?
Just for a kicker, for that uneducated skeptic saying to themselves, 'Well, that is an illegal pyramid SCHEME...' I am going to take 1 more minute to educate you. In 1979 two of the greatest events in modern history occurred. The first was on March 27th, 1979. On this historic date a child was born in Fairbanks, Alaska that would later come to be known as 'Aki Wood.' The second event happened just over a month later: the FTC lost a five year court battle with the Amway corporation that made network marketing legal in the United States, and over 100 other countries. BAM!
Interestingly enough, accouding to modern astrologers, the stars aligned just righ on March 27th, 1979 to force photons into the atmosphere which caused a mass awareness to come over the entire planet. Many believe that it is this phenomenon that raised the minds of the courts to a higher plane of being, thus inducing the landmark decision of May 8th. For this very reason many have called me the destiny child of MLM, so if you are in the industry, and you would like a new and interesting perspective on things, feel free to follow my articles, and check me out on my blog. I provide valuable training that can help anyone in their business because I love network markteting and love to see people succeed. Next time someone gives you the pyramid scheme objection, just remember; its better to build a pyramid than to dig a grave.
