You wouldn't know it by listening to the conventional wisdom going around.
Because our "modern age" is frantically trying to fill the various gaps and spaces in our brief attention spans with everything possible to distractive offer they can. We are supposed to be amused constantly as the highest state in our lives - when we aren't working to pay for something more we "want" because "everyone else likes it."
That's a bit jaded and cynical - or is it...

Vision and Ideals are what makes this world move forward and survive.
Allen tends to pick up speed here - as he's covered how you create your reality from thought, how to boost your achievement level, and now - how to create a greater reality around you by deliberately choosing high ideals and forming your vision around these.
Allen, then, is more inspirational than hard-pounded-out pragmatic steps to take. However, there are those like me who are here to fill that gap for you...

"Once burnt, twice shy..." goes the phrase.
MLM or Network Marketing isn't inherently screwed up, and it's really not designed to make only the guys at the top a log of money. Anyone can really make some extra money online - or even make a nice living at this.
But you have to do your due diligence, and "know before you go."
Look, you know (or suspect) what I've found out and am here to tell you - all MLM's are based on the same basic formula and concept.
This led me to find the same 3 common facts all MLM's have that need to be unearthed at the beginning - before you sign up - in order to make any MLM or Network Marketing scene work.
Answer these questions about that new opportunity...

Posted on September 4, 2012 by robertworstell
In order to see MLM or any other model as a success, you need to do your due diligence and look at the risks and failures first.
The chief trap which people who get sponsored into any MLM have is their own emotions. When you start any MLM, you’re bombarded with all sorts of content in video’s and print about how great this is and how you can earn cars and bonuses and everything you’ve ever wanted.
They also probably roll out a few videos of millionaires who are making thousands per day and have been in this for years.
If you dig a little deeper, you’ll see big holes that you can fall into between just starting and getting to that millionaire status.
And this is the problem which home based businesses have in general – they don’t really have a workable business plan to begin with.

And it flies along completely according to your world-view.
All my testing along this line (and life could be considered only a test, with no pass/fail) has only brought me back to this point.
But thinking of you showed me that I simply needed to bring you all up to date on what I've been doing and what progress I've been having.
I love farming. It keeps you real. Right now, we are dealing with getting ground ready for Miscanthus, a bio-fuel. It's been around over 1,000 years in Japan as a hybrid, and been grown in Europe since the early '80's as a biofuel. (If you look how much less trees there are and how much population has taken over most of those continents, this isn't particularly a surprise.) But MFA Oil has brought this into the mix and gotten a few acres able to be planted in the Midwest under a Federal Grant so we can see how this can be used to replace some of the coal we burn. (More information on miscanthus is found at the SEJ site.)
Anyway, this plant germinates at about 40 degrees F, so I've been out a couple of days this week and last, working up our fields to they'd be ready for planting this stuff. March. But corn doesn't usually go in until late April, and soybeans in May. So I've got a warm jacket on and I'm out cultivating these fields. Dusty and noisy - that's row-crop farming.
My cows are doing just fine. Somehow made it through a hay shortage (there's always some hay around if you want to look for it - at some price) and we're getting ready to wean this year's heifers. (We sell our "problem offspring" and make the bulls into steers so they won't be. )
The fields are starting to green up and I'll be spraying them this next week with some Shaklee Basic H in order to help them green up faster. Seems we ate them a bit close last fall and I need grass to sprout quickly now so I don't have to buy more hay.
Which brings me up to what I do in my spare time - earning a living. While the farm is more profitable this year, and is continuing to be, I still make my own spending money with other work. Freelance web design keeps me going. (And if you have to ask "how much?" you can't afford me.) But I'm always looking out for better and more remunerative ways to do things. Which lead me, interestingly, to Shaklee.
If you were lucky as a kid, your Mom raised you on Shaklee. But this business is still a "50-year-old startup", as some describe it. It's probably the oldest network marketing business in existence. They don't advertise except by word of mouth. And you probably can't order it unless you know someone who's an independent distributor (like me.)
The reason I got in is because it's a perfect fit (and the fact that for a $40 membership, you have a lifetime 15% discount.) You'll see when you check them out, that they spend most of their time double-checking their products to make sure they are the highest quality possible. And spend most of their income on paying their distributors for telling their friends and family about their products. And while I can go into a lot more here, just figure that my own reasons for Why Shaklee and Why Now are because I can work from home at my own schedule and have a continuing income to offset retirement costs. Plus stay healthy by investing in preventative measures such as supplements.
It's a perfect income opportunity, as I see it - there's a built-in online ordering system and no inventory to keep. So we are talking a perfect dropshipping opportunity. For a guy out in the boonies of no-where (by choice) this seems a no-brainer as a way to get some income rolling in. The entry costs are low (especially compared to starting up a fast food franchise)
Well, I've been busy learning all about Shaklee, to be honest. Since I didn't have anything to write up about it, nothing new came out. It's all still there and workable. In fact, several people have been signing up for some of these programs from what I already wrote. This Shaklee Independent Distributor scene will just add into the Online Business part of that.
I've been studying up on surfactants and how to raise crops with less water using their naturally-derived Basic H. And this has been taking my time in researching and writing these articles. Basic H as a surfactant is a perfect match for this heavy clay soil we have on this farm. So I'm working up how to deal with this, as well as fixing an old sprayer we've had in order to get it running - but that's farm news, which we've already covered.
The next writing which took up my time was reading up on the Cinch Inch Loss Plan (Weight Loss Diet). This particular diet (yes, I've got a few pound more than I want to inflating this spare tire) is built around the point of using the amino acid leucine to preserve lean muscle mass so you actually burn fat instead (most diets do the reverse, which is why you feel worse shortly after starting).
And now I'm back to writing about you again.
Because all this work recently brought home the fact that "the world is exactly as you consider it to be." When I experience negative emotions, it's simply that I've somehow allowed these into my space (created them). So my practice has been to remove all the noise-sources which generate these. Just let them move off my lines. I was on a local board just to see what I could learn about politics and civic duty, and found out (confirmed) that boards are mostly useless for getting anything done. And people who man them have very little else to do in their lives, so can get pretty defensive about almost nothing. Needless to say, I quit when I found that (although it's not official yet - I'd like to fade away quietly.) Because I'm pretty creative and energetic normally. I don't need to invest my time in monthly meetings where a bunch of old men get together to just bitch and complain, while the manager quietly and efficiently runs the business the rest of the month. You don't try to get anything done via a board.
But I will spend hours twice a month with my local Shaklee guys (and gals) to figure out how we can get more people into this scene so they can improve their lives. There's quite a difference there. You get out of life what you put into it. So if you are just bitching and moaning, then that's what you're going to get back. But if you are creating a new and better world with every moment of every day, then you will get a much better outcome all around you.
My tractor brought this home to me. You see, every now and then, it doesn't like to start. Has to do with a rebuilt starter that doesn't mesh exactly right. If I simply get myself all metaphysically connected back into the earth beneath the tires of the tractor, it starts right up. But if I'm busy being an "rugged individual" then the machine won't start until I am. Kinda hard to explain, but it works for me.
All life has lessons, if you just are willing to learn. And in order to learn, you should teach as best you can.
That's why I'm here, as I've often said - only here to help.

We all talk about our "rights".
Many complain how our "rights" are being taken away.
A few are ready to fight-and-die to protect our "rights".
But few know what is their #1 Right!
In fact, the main reason we're losing so many of our rights these days is precisely because so few know their #1 Right!
That's right! (No pun intended.)
Ask yourself this, "What good are "rights" that can't be enforced?"
Your #1 Right is the right to know how to enforce your rights!
Yet, government isn't telling you!
Your tax-supported schools aren't teaching your children.
Lawyers certainly aren't leaking their money-making secrets to the public.
An old adage says, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse," yet neither government nor the legal profession has at any time in the history of the world made any genuine effort to teach the public how justice is secured in courts. Nothing about the rules of evidence. Nothing about the rules of procedure. Nothing about how to use the rules to get Justice! Nothing!
Without your #1 Right (or tens of thousands of dollars to pay lawyers to secure your rights for you) what good are government's empty promises?
Indeed, if you don't know how to enforce your rights, do you really have any?
Do you really?
Think carefully!
Rights without knowledge to enforce them are just empty promises, like carrots on a stick to get us to work hard and keep the economy going for the well-to-do who can afford lawyers to fight for them!
You and your children have been lied to long enough!
The legal profession cannot hide your #1 Right any longer!
Your blindfold is coming off!
Your #1 Right is easy-to-learn!
Your #1 Right is the right to know how to enforce your rights!
It's easy to learn how to enforce your rights in court ... without a lawyer!
You can learn in a single weekend what it takes to obtain court orders that command sheriffs and federal marshals to protect and enforce your rights!
Read Luke 11:52 in your Bible to discover how long the wool has been pulled over the public's eyes by lawyers who've been running the world far too long by purposely keeping you in the dark so lawyers can get rich at your expense!
Exercise your #1 Right!
In just 24 hours you can learn how to use the power of courts to get justice for yourselves and those you love, for your neighbors, for the world!
The affordable Jurisdictionary step-by-step self-help course will give you the powerful keys of lawsuit knowledge lawyers have hidden from you for thousands of years.

It's not a law course. It's a life course! Armed with Jurisdictionary I was able to defeat one of the biggest junk debt companies and their team of 6 lawyers!

I would like to give great testimony as to how comprehensive your course is. I was amazed at how sound your lessons are and how easy it was to understand. I used your method to force the other side to produce the contract they claimed I breached, and when they could not, I filed a motion to dismiss their case. They settled. Thanks very much for your course!

I've been saying this for years, ever since I ran into my own mega-scam and worked my way out of it. Ever since, I've been giving away the book I wrote in order to help others.
It's entirely up to you how you are going to spend the rest of your life. You can thrive by learning to institute some real freedom for yourself, or simply keep struggling along like all your neighbors, friends, and family probably are.
While I don't need to repeat them here, there is a Thrivelearning System which is composed of 8 (or 10) programs and material-sets that you can study to improve your life. And those will take you right on out.
But I want to bring you a new idea, which is down the online business side of this coin. I tell people to build and develop an online business because that is the highest-leverage income production source you can have these days. Low entrance costs and high profit - once you figure out the scene.
To get from newbie to pro, I'd suggest you study those programs in the Thrivelearning System above.
But this post is to encourage you to get into something you probably have already heard about, since the company has been around for over 50 years. Shaklee.
Before you roll your eyes, I want you to simply take another look at this.
You may consider all MLM (multi-level-marketing) systems to be scams. And most are. Because they're in it for the money, not a high-integrity approach to improving the quality of life around them.
The trick to success is to be part of a team. Now this doesn't mean a huge, monolithic corporate structure. If you've read Robert Kiyosaki, you'll have learned about how "having a job" is a quick way to also say - bankrupt in retirement. And the horror stories about how our own government politicians have screwed up our laws and regulations to almost guarantee everyone out there finds it impossible to achieve the American Dream - well, these can send even children to bed with nightmares if you listen very long.
But I wanted to tell you about how you can actually follow a completely free lifestyle (and I wrote the book on Freedom, too.)
I'm not here to pitch my books today, but rather to enable you to find your own route out.
And this has to do with how to become a distributor - which is a loosely-joined method of success.
Of course, this will run across several installments, but today's involves this one video to tell you how this whole system sets up.

So the choice is yours, as usual. Have fun with this!
