Stocks pay dividends and royalties just for owning shares, if you own an apartment building you get paid the rent. If you blog like me, you get affiliate commissions when people buy from your links. 
I'm going to say something here a lot of people will disagree with, Multi Level Marketing (MLM) is just another way to diversify your income, like collecting gold coins.
Some people devote their lives to it, because it is a culture of motivation and self development and they get sucked in, treating it like a cult, some even lose their sense of reality and worship the leaders of these businesses, something I've seen first hand in very disturbing ways.
Other people think MLM is dishonest, or a scam or it doesn't work.
Well working a job where you can be let go of without notice for any reason from downsizing the company, to being five minutes late, just before you're about to get your pension, those are the real scams.
I've met more than a few elderly who had that happen to them. It ripped my freaking heart out!
Does it work?
From my experience, overwhelmingly YES. My ex husband who could sell snake oil to a cobra was making somewhere close to one hundred million United States dollars per month from what I understand.
Yes, that is absolutely ludicrous but in an industry where you can make as much or as little as you want, there are people driven to be legendary.
One Network Marketer co founded Mercy Corps International distributing 73 million dollars in food and medicine!
Isn't that amazing?
Does it make you wonder what will be talked about at your funeral? It does me!
Is MLM dishonest? There are definitely people who will say anything to earn a buck in every walk of life. MLM companies though are some of the most closely monitored businesses and those that are crossing lines or dishonest get caught and shut down FAST!
Another profuse lie about Network Marketing, it only works for some and only a select anointed few can succeed. That's like saying a heart surgeon walked into an operating room and performed a miracle without any training whatsoever he/she just had magic hands.
Like anything, if you want to be good you have to learn, if you want to be great you have to practice and if you want to be the Michael Jordan in your field you will work harder than anyone else!
I have some questions and I want you to write down your answers and date it a year from now, (if you're really committed, put your answer in the comments below,) how much do you want to be making a year from now each month?
If you're like me, you know forty-five thousand per month is extremely plausible for Network Marketing if you start working today and refuse to quit no matter what!
And what will you be doing a year from now?
I'm picturing us on cruise in the Caribbean, I'm seeing you smiling and relaxing in the open air the sun warm on your tan shoulders because you're bank account is full and your worries are empty and you look ten years younger because happiness does that!
Our world is jaded and doing Network Marketing is not a cake walk. It takes guts, belief, passion, hard work, and the complete refusal to quit no matter what friends and relatives say.
I have a friend who would rather clean houses for forty years than try to build an MLM in her spare time.
I'd rather trade the 40 years of endless work for the eight year model and be making more than a heart surgeon does in a year monthly.
Is that realistic?
It's been done in half that time!
Do I want it for myself?
No.
After the trauma from EN I was to traumatized to ever succeed in Network Marketing again.
Then I had a daughter and my clarity was gradually restored.
I know exactly the kind of life I want to give her and it isn't a life of, "Sorry honey, I have to work," or "Sorry kiddo, we don't have money for that."
I want to teach my daughter greatness. I want to teach her to overcome her fears, so I overcame mine. I want to teach her to jump at the chance to overcome challenges, so I dive into an industry where 98% of people fail because I want to teach her if you want to succeed you don't follow the 99%. You keep going and you don't stop until you reach the top.
