The Story:
In 1959 two men had a dream to create a business that would provide useful services and a way for many people to engage in the glory of free enterprise in owning their very own business. Those two men were Jay Van Andel and Richard DeVos, and that business was Amway – short for “American Way”. Today, many people all over the world are intrigued, angered and puzzled by calls from their friends asking them to have a look at a mysteriously vague business plan, many more are approached by strangers, of varying levels of charm, asking if they want to know how to make money by approaching strangers and asking if they want to make money. Many other companies have popped up using a similar business model of network or multi-level marketing. Some call them pyramid schemes, and others swear that they are a great step on the path to true financial freedom.
What are the factors you should consider when looking at a network marketing business? What are the benefits, and what are the risks? Will you end up with nothing more than empty pockets and a garage full of concentrated dishwashing fluid? Who knows! But we ask these questions and more in the next exciting episode of … The Paradise Paradox!
