   What a joke!

   The guy recommends network marketing because they push his lame books and cashflow game. They advertise for him and pushed him to being a New York Times best selling author. His book went no where until an Amway diamond started using it in his group.

   …it's a shame he doesn't mention how most network marketing folks lose money and get taken advantage of so badly they get blown out of the business before they get the chance to build the skills he's talking about.

   Doug,

   Are you saying that you got NOTHING out of the training you received as a result of Network Marketing?

   I'm saying Robert Kiyosaki is not an objective thinker on the topic of MLM. Would you disagree?

   Are you objective about MLM in general, based on your experience with Amway/Quixtar?

   I would say I'm more objective than Mr. Kiyosaki. I've both made money and lost money while participating in MLM. Can he say the same?

   I am objective enough to examine products available through MLM companies. If I ever decided to pursue sales again, I might even look at some of the various opportunities out there.

   Kiyosaki cares nothing about MLM or its participants other than the fact that they make him a lot of money. Kiyosaki says what he says so he can get more speaking engagements and more advertising for his books/games. Kiyosaki's advice about how to become an investor is stupid. The tools and knowledge are readily available to the general public to make anyone an investor. There is no need to own your own business. You don't need to have sales training or business training to successfully invest. Most people could become investors very quickly if they could get their debt under control. People should listen to Dave Ramsey before they listen to Robert Kiyosaki.

   Thanks for posting such an excellent article about MLMs.
   If you are looking to own
   your own business I can tell you from experience that it takes a lot of
   drive and ambition, but it also takes a good team.

   Doug,

   I usually let this type of comment go. It's subtle enough for me.

   However, spammers beware…you never know when you will get drilled.

    MLMs are very reticent about giving facts and figures about the success (or otherwise), in dollar terms, of their distributors and managers. However accountants who see such figures from their clients say that the vast majority of MLM both distributors and managers (99.9%) loose money or make little. They loose because they buy product they can’t sell ,and more so, they spend many hundreds on motivational tapes, DVDs, seminars, books and even motivational weekends. In fact most of the money made from MLMs is not from the ostensible product but by the ‘shadow business’ of motivational material. The internal sellers of this material make money as do the external producers of the material. Eg Robert Kiyosaki who owes his bestseller status to getting his books into Amway.(now Quixtar)
