Hey Kathy,

This is a really cool post to bring us back to the beginning. Sometimes we need a refresher on the industry we are in.

We definitely are in a time that spawns home business growth as the other time frames in history you mentioned.

Thanks for the history lesson.

The history of MLM is awesome. The old timer MLMers would lose their mind if they had the power to harness the same technology as we do. It would take them 10-15 years to expose their business to as many as we can in 14 hours.

Great post.

Kathy,

It’s always refreshing to take a look back and realize that the MLM industry isn’t something that started in the lat 1980′s…it’s been around for much longer than that – obviously.

What boggles my mind is that eventhough it’s been around for that long, people still call it fraud or a scam. If you started a franchise on your own and failed in the first year, would you call it a scam or a failure.

There is a big difference when people take a look at who to blame. is it themselves or is it really the business?
