The truth is there is a good and bad side to every human enterprise. The few bad eggs in network marketing are simply not enough to spoil the whole basket.

Does the Younger Generation Think We are the Idiots?
We have all had an idiot for a boss at some point in our lives. For some of us that pain is a present reality and for others it is a painful memory. And, for others the experience is yet to come.
