Denial: not a river in Egypt

Someone brought up the "P" word the other day.

Pyramid.

At first it made me kind of mad. Because, you know, pyramids are illegal. But thanks for thinking so highly of me.

After a bit I just started to think about the irony & absolute hypocrisy that goes with this subject.

For some reason, the business that I am involved in, Plexus, strikes people as a 'pyramid' or right off the bat they start talking about how 'bad' Network Marketing is or the dreaded MLMs.

They will tell you right from the start they don't do business like that.

Really? So you have no Pampered Chef? Tupperware? Arbonne? Young Living or DoTerra?

Oh wait a minute...they are hemming hawing now.

Why yes, of course they have those products. And they have never had any sort of moral conviction about those companies.

But suddenly they don't support MLMs or they have a problem with Network Marketing.

If you have ever been involved with any sort of home based business or grass roots organization guess what? You were doing Network Marketing.

Because that is what you do when you don't want/can't afford to pay Walmart or Target to market your product for you.

You market it yourself. By word of mouth. By telling friends. By putting it on Facebook.

That is the smart way to get a business going.

When Donald Trump was asked recently what he would do if he had it to do all over again, his matter-of-fact, one-line reply was: "I would get into network marketing."

But the funniest thing to me is this: all these people who talk about "pyramid schemes" they have jobs right?

They have a boss, who has a boss, who has a manager, who has a supervisor, who reports to a Vice President, who reports to a President, who answers to a CEO who is the Top Dog over everybody & makes all the money.

Dang. That sounds like a pyramid scheme to me.

In my business, everybody has the same chance to get to be the Top Dog. In fact, my upline has surpassed 
her upline several times over already.

So tell me, in today's world, if you start out pumping gas what are the odds you can make it to CEO?

pssst. I think you work in a pyramid...

Here's the real kicker though, I have the chance to talk with people & share an amazing product which can impact their health in so many positive ways I can't even list them all. I'm not trying to sell you anything.

And I am most definitely not trying to twist your arm into joining my 'pyramid'. 

When someone really believes in something~ whether it is book or a supplement or a group or the best chocolate chip cookie recipe they ever made in their life~ they TELL people about it! They share because they are excited & want their friends to be excited too.

I'm not selling anything. But I am sharing.

If you want to improve your health ~ I can help with that!

If you want a chance to build a business around improving your health  & helping others improve their health ~ I can help with that!

If you want to sit on your couch & never do anything to improve your health or your finances ~ I cannot help with that! But I can smile & wave as I pass on by.

Blessings.
