If you have not heard about this then you are missing some very important information and, if you are not prepared, this can do some serious damage to your home business.

Sick of hearing about the “Next Big Thing”?

Posted by Chris Kavas in Network Marketing | Add A Comment

How many times do we hear about a network marketing business that will be the “Next Big Thing” and you have to “Lock Your Spot” now or else you will lose and everyone will point at you and laugh. It is one thing to read about it from a post on Facebook but another when it is a trusted friend that wants you to join their business.

There are countless examples of people who jumped in to a business head first because of the hype and excitement and, because they did not do their diligence, got burned. Maybe it is because they think the buy-in is so low compared to traditional business that it becomes easier to bypass doing one’s homework and “take the risk”.

The truth about income claims

Posted by Chris Kavas in Leadership & Business, Network Marketing | Add A Comment

Recently I saw a post on a social networking site where a leader in a network marketing (MLM) company bragged about the number of people in their downline and the gobs of money the individual was making in such a short time. While it is fairly common to see posts using income claims as a means for recruitment, this particular post got me thinking. I know many good, well meaning people that talk about the money their upline makes as a decision point for joining their business.

Many don’t know that they are, in fact, committing a crime.

“I tried MLM and it didn’t work for me. Why should I try again?”…

Posted by Chris Kavas in Network Marketing | Add A Comment

There are scams out there, but for the most part MLM is a very credible and realistic way of earning a great income. If you’re like me, the first time you heard about an MLM opportunity was from someone who promised you the world and then wouldn’t answer the phone when you started calling with questions. So many people jump into it with totally unrealistic expectations and pass those expectations along. That is what has tainted the MLM industry.

Very Bad Puns

Posted by Chris Kavas in Bad Puns | Add A Comment

Everyone needs a little humor in their lives and I am sure you will agree that much of what is here barely qualifies! My friends and I have enjoyed sending each other pain through the effective use of very bad puns. When life is starting to get too serious, stop by and read a few.

If you find one you like while reading at work and want to tell your family when you get home, be careful you don’t carry it too far. Those with shorter commutes should be okay :)
