I was contacted by a friend who was very excited about a new multi-level marketing scheme. He wanted me to get on board so that we could both get rich quick AND have residual income forever.
And while all of these enterprises seem very legitimate, they all depend on mathematics that just doesn’t add up. It is really very simple. For every dollar earned, someone else has to pay a dollar.
The numerical certainty is that that most net payers are on the bottom levels while the few net gainers are at the highest levels. And there’s no way around the numbers.
And so I told my friend that I’ll pass on the opportunity. I wished him well, and told him that I hope that I am wrong and that he will become very rich with his new endeavor.
I really do. And I’ll make my money the old fashioned way.
I’ll earn it!
