This isn't a court of law, you can drop the song and dance. MLM logic breaks down at a first glance. You can't sign up 7 people who sign up 7 people very long before you've signed the entirety of mankind, living and dead.
If you've bought into MLM, as I suspect you might have, get out now. That money might as well have been set aflame.
Skills to be successful at MLM? What skills are those? Sociopathy?
Edit: I have neither the skills nor desire to be successful in MLM, but to imply that all MLM is a pyramid scheme is idiotic. I don't see nearly the vitriol for Pampered Chef that I do for Amway, maybe because Pampered Chef isn't a $9.5 billion global enterprise? Because the majority of people have either done Amway, know someone who used to, or have been asked to, and they resent hearing about it over and over? I talked to probably ~300 people in the short time I was involved in it and I only remember 2 who had never heard of Amway before.
