Is Your MLM Company "Seaworthy?"
Unless you were just born yesterday, you've probably noticed that the MLM Sea is awash with vessels of all kinds - ocean liners, cruise ships, life boats, and rafts. Some have even launched rowboats and dugouts, and spotting a few brave souls clinging to an old inner tube that's being pummeled by waves, isn't that uncommon!Some of the more desperate among this networking flotilla can be seen jumping from life boat to life boat, or life boat to raft, in an effort to survive. A few of them will finally be fortunate enough to be picked up by a passing cruise ship or ocean liner, while others will continue to cry out to those in secure programs, among the big boats, to jump ship and find success in uncharted waters aboard a hastily assembled raft! That may be fine, if you're a Huck Finn, but not in any ocean!
You may be tempted when they tell you that "Yes, it's just a raft, but it is destined to be the next Queen Mary and you can be among the first on board!" But don't be swayed. Few such "vessels" make it beyond their first year of operation and many have lost their "Wave 3" lives in the cold, choppy waters of the MLM Sea.
Remember, that sooner or later the survivors from that rudderless armada will ask to be hoisted aboard your ocean liner, learn to appreciate the benefits they find on-board, and realize that first class passage would be worth the fare! Welcome them. Teach them. Encourage them. A truly seaworthy vessel can provide a pleasant journey for all!
