Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) aka Network Marketing?

For awhile, in the mid-1990s, I thought MLM might become a worthwhile alternative to the "job" for many people. It didn't. The MLM proponents do a superb job of describing the problems of depending on a job. Unfortunately, for various reasons, MLM is still not viable for more than a few. The major reason is that most companies' compensation plans (Pay Plans) are NOT designed for the average person to succeed. "It's the PAY PLAN, Pardner!™™"

If you are not a super charismatic "heavy hitter" type, you need to evaluate and eliminate most companies to find the few with which you can succeed.

Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand

Atlas Shrugged, by Ayn Rand, is a must read. Forget the blather of the left and the right and religious wackos. This novel is an in-your-face analysis of what's going on -- why this economy and political system is collapsing.

It was science fiction in the 1950s. It's reality today.

About Your E-Mail "Subject" Line

• As part of your "Subject" line, include the words "Books You Need to Read" along with whatever else you want to include. That will assure both my prompt attention and eliminate the possibility of your message ending up in the TRASH.
  
  
• Do NOT leave the "Subject" line blank. ALL messages with blank "Subject" lines are automatically, immediately sent to the TRASH without being opened.
  
  
• Do NOT use some "cutesy" or non-specific "Subject" line wording like "hi" or "whazzup". Use a straightforward descriptive "Subject" line.
  
  
• Do NOT use SPAM type words like "Free", "Credit", "Opportunity", etc., in the "Subject" line.
  
  
• If you have sent a legitimate message and I don't respond, try again with a new, SPECIFIC, "Subject" line. My SPAM filter setup may not have liked your previous "Subject" line and sent your message to the TRASH without my seeing it.
