Multi-Level Marketing: A Strategy or Disguise for Den of Thieves?

These days, there is a lot of MLM and pyramid scheme talk. What are they? Are they different sides of the same coin?
Tired of being a peasant, a lowly 9-5er, or a corporate slave? You can be your own boss, you can have the financial freedom of the “ቅባት ልጅ” you detest. You just need to work hard, have a positive mindset, and attend a seminar. That’s how it starts. So then, you go to the seminar because you are cool like that, willing to try anything and everything to accomplish your dreams. A seminar can’t hurt, right? There, you hear motivational speakers speak of the struggles they once faced, life coaches who are now the epitome of positivity, and mentors who have a God-fatherly figure who is welcoming and supportive. So, how do you get started? First, you need to buy packages. “Be a product of the Product.” Does it all sound familiar?
