Your attitude towards Networking will preclude you from ever making it in Networking.
All I can say is....Good luck in your job.
I don't need to travel to work. I don't need to have a boss telling me when I can go on vacation or how much I can make and I don't have any employees to worry about if they will show up.
And by the way....I have not pestered my relatives....they saw the amount of money I was making and they became involved on their own.....especially when they saw my new Acura (paid for by my company) sitting in my driveway!
And Oh yes.....Dolly Parton, DR. Laura, Pat Boone, Michael Singletary, Crystal Gail and many other Celebrities are now part of the company I'm Involved with.
Like I said, those at the top are reaping rewards. It's the old pyramid scheme, cept with some amount of legitimacy...
Understand that your experience is not the average experience. It's like the CEO of a corporation wondering why everybody wants pay raises all the time (he can't understand -- his salary is great)..
If a new network marketing company with market potential were to pop up, you bet I'd jump on board right away.. Getting in early is the key...
However, for established firms, in the area I live, forget it.. I make more money doing my day job, and I can always moonlight if I desire -- and make over six figures quite easily..
>>I don't need to travel to work. I don't need to have a boss telling me when I can go on vacation or how much I can make and I don't have any employees to worry about if they will show up.
For me, this is dependant on the contract I take. Sometimes I work at home, some times I work on site.
And, when my contract ends, I have all the vacation time on earth.. (I've worked an average of six months each year for the past 4 years -- and still make a very comfy living)..
Like I said, if it's an opportunity to get in at ground level, I'd join a networking marketing company.. Otherwise, forget it...
This is an example of "multi-level marketing logic" -- you may find it funny.

I actually met Pat Boone... For a few days he vistited the Catholic non-profit ministry I had worked for about 10 years ago.. Nice guy..
