investing in a legitimate buisness is one thing, but i aint tryna sell no pre-paid legal services ?

    its annoying. you lose friends like that cause ? 's dont wanna answer your calls cuz u harrassin em.

    i put this in another thread but basically, this chick from college calls me out the blue....


    Her: Hey I want to talk to you about my business!!

    Me: What business?

    Her: I have my own business. I offer financial freedom.

    (AT THIS POINT MY SPIDER SENSES ALREADY SMELL ? )

    basically what she does is get people to invest in companies. but she wont tell it to you that straight. also in order to invest in these special companies, you have to obtain a license and get others to invest and purchase the license too.

    i told the ? straight up its a pyramid scheme. ? got mad!

    Prepaid legal isn't a pyramid scheme, its a network marketing scheme. They are similar, but there are many major differences between the 2. It's hard to get paid with networking marketing schemes, but not impossible and its not a scam like a pyramid scheme, its also legal.
    Ive made good money off things ignorant people who don't understand business write off as pyramid schemes without doing proper research.

    When people say "pyramid scheme," they're generally uneducated about the whole industry - MLM, network marketing, etc... Bottom line, invest your money how you want, network marketing is a ? siiickkk income stream to back up any legit entrepreneurs in this day and age... but YOU gotta make it work for you. Too many people join thinking they're gonna get Oprah rich and drop out once someone close to them tells them to "get away with that pyramid ? ."

    Oh well, successful distributors are still makin' their money. All that said, in this day and age it's just another tool in a modern entrepreneur's toolkit. Traditional network marketing on its own as a career is on its way out...
