You know what discourages me about pyramid companies. They all say the same things, give health, financial freedom etc etc. I have two life long friend who just started Essante products and that is all I hear about her stuff and company and another is a Plexxus promoter. Sad because I am not thinking the products are bad but like anything else you have to get people to join but not just join,buy... And everyone believes their products are the best. So what is truth?!

You can't tell and don't really know because if you are a good sales person you will say yours is, and she will say hers is, but in the end it costs, you have to buy product whether you need it or not. Everyone's product have all these health benefits for you and they are all made naturally. Now one company reminds me of Shaklee ( are they even around anymore) while the other reminds me of Herbalife or some other of the many health company pyramids that are out there.

We are so bondard with these pyramids it's frustrating. Friendships turn into sales pitches! Facebook and Instagram no longer have family and life photos but company pictures and video sale pitches.

The thought of having a pay check by convincing people they need a product and it involves no physical work. I wonder is that biblical? Didn't the Lord say we are to work by the sweat of our brow?

Insert from Federal Trade Commision "Not all multilevel marketing plans are legitimate. If the money you make is based on your sales to the public, it may be a legitimate multilevel marketing plan. If the money you make is based on the number of people you recruit and your sales to them, it's not. It's a pyramid scheme. Pyramid schemes are illegal, and the vast majority of participants lose money."

It's to hard to know what is a scam and what isn't and nothing is done for minimal work. Every person who believes they have succeed in these pyramids let the people they have signed up stop buying product or cancel their "memberships" and there goes your paycheck. There is no security and no such thing as hubby retiring early.

Sorry ladies there is no quick get rich thing out there without working by the sweat of your brow. Just like there is no such thing as instant weight loss- nope got to work at it.

So keep your money in your pocket, where it is safe and don't fall for the next best company scheme.
