MLMs: I Don't Like Pyramid(s) (Schemes).

Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) Pyramid 

Hi there.

Just a quick write up on MLMs (Multi-Level Marketing). It starts with someone well dressed and looking successful walking up to you, and they are telling you: 'You too can make a lot of money and live the life you have always dreamed of.' They show you pictures of exotic locations, 3-storey houses and luxury cars; you can't help but imagine yourself in those pictures smiling proudly. They finally show you that triangle pictograph with you sitting on top of a pyramid of your friends/network, with dollar signs 'arrowed' to you. But what they don't show you is the giant network of people sitting on your head. 

Welcome to the 'shell' of Multi-Level Marketing.

Never Enough

Earlier last week I was resolved to be positive. I had plans. Though I have started to put some in motion and several things are happening that have spiked my happiness radar a bit, I still feel drawn and like nothing's working out.

First off my job is getting to me. You know how they say 'do the work you love and you'll never work a day in your life'? Well I don't enjoy the job I do, so its real work. Just when I think I have gotten the hang of it, curve balls come. I give and give and give and they say its never enough. The company might be in jeopardy but what can I do? I have been promoted but no pay increase has been initiated. Its just demoralizing.
