Yes, the recruiting and mlm side is a big turnoff.

So after reading Rich Dad and partaking in a MLM for a short period, which I am no longer a part of, I decided I wanted to do something more active with greater upside.

I used all of the systems offered in the M5 while doing MLM.

Like windows for example, I am a distributor, so I purchase directly from the factory, that is a significant saving.

@Lucky Oldham  all these programs have their roots in MLM.. if you have been to any MLM presentation it always starts out with the speaker show his wife and kids and how you deserve to be there and we are all doing this to spend more time with our family etc etc..

I mean who believes that you can pay someone ONLY 25k and they are going to do everything for you and set you up in Real Estate so you can just start making massive money... this defies logic.And it really in my mind goes back to the MLM marketing methods they are basically the same.

Often times they have relationships with distributors and are offered discounted/ discontinued lines of products and such. 

Just like MLM  real estate has been attacked by the dream merchants  IE real estate guru's its a great gig for them  they make boat load of money.I like the line from the Traffic song   Low Spark of the high heeled boys.it goes like this" the man bought a new suit on your dreams "  and that was written I suspect in the late 60s to 70s.. :)

Coming from someone who has worked for HVAC distributors for the last 15 years, be wary of any contractors that want to just "charge" your system.

And nobody is emailing me and selling me on how great they are.BTW,  when I told the first guy I wasn't interested because I have no risk capital and I'm not interested in MLM - he wrote back that no one ever has their own money and then in CAPs they are not MLM.
