How to spot an MLM...

I got this from CNA forum thread, i think it is very nice so i will post it here.

MLMs are pretty easy to spot.

1. You friend tells you he is doing his own business but declines to say anything further till you meet him for a 'presentation'.

2. They photocopy bank statements and have unpresented checks at the ready to show potential investors.

3. They spend alot of money to improve their 'image'. Nice clothes, cars...etc...

4. Go around the streets asking people if they want to be rich and would they say NO to financial freedom.

5. Attend workshops that teach the downlines how to bring in fresh members.

6. If you fail and lose heart, they will tell you that KFC Colonel Sanders guy failed 1000 times before he found his path...so don't be discouraged...its the people who perservere that gets rich.

7. Right from the moment you enter their 'free seminar' they ask you all to stand up and start shaking each others hands congragulate each other for taking the first step to financial freedom. They keep making you agree with whatever they say by asking questions like "Do you wanna be rich?", "Do you agree that the best way to be rich is to work for yourself?". You find yourself and others agreeing so often with them that it becomes hard to say NO after awhile.

8. They call leaching off each other "PASSIVE INCOME"

9. They consider Robert Kiyosaki "RICH DAD"

10. They are firm believers in the "GREATER FOOL" theory...and applies it to their downlines

11. They are terrible at math. (i agree!!!)
