"Your job is a pyramid. Look at your President, Vice President, Upper management, Lower management, your supervisor all the way down to the workers. Where do you fall in that cast of characters? If you think about it every single thing in life is network marketing. Put it this way the food you ate this morning was grown by a farmer. He priced it up and sold it to a wholesaler. He marked it up and sold it to a national retailer. He sold it to National wholesaler retailer. They shipped it to your city. They put it in the warehouse and marked it up some more. The warehouse marked it up some more and put it in local stores. The local stores marked it up and you came along and bought that steak or fruit or whatever you had for lunch or for dinner. It’s been sold 8 or 9 times before it hit your juicy lips. And you have enough nerve to call this a pyramid deal"

Sorry, this is the oldest MLM / pyramid scam line in the book. You talk about being brainwashed and not to believe everything you read, and yet here you are being brainwashed and believing everything you hear & read from FHTM. I've heard this exact same thing 25 yrs ago with Amway, another one called World Wide ?Dreambuilders? that was a mix of Amway, and what sounds a lot like this FHTM, doesn't matter, they ALL say this exact same thing. Make money by using products and/or services you already use, "own" your own business, be your "own" boss, and make "own" hours. These are key phrases EVERY SINGLE MLM company uses. You still need to put in the time and effort to make the money. The more time & effort you put into it, the more money you will make... true. You will be working the exact same hours as your "regular" job, maybe even more, and no guarantee of making the exact same salary as you once earned with a "regular" job, especially if you suck at it. Let's face it, this is NOT for everyone. I knew someone in Amway who always said "Some will, some won't, so what". But then would go on & on about how great he was because he did, and how stupid were those who didn't sign up. Bully tactic? I think so. The "some" of us that "won't" don't see it that way. I'll bet there are those in FHTM who say the exact same thing, maybe even the same guy, LOL! And if you are looking to open up your evenings & weekends so you have more free time with your family, forget it. Evenings & weekends are when all the seminars & meetings are. Also, those who will take the time to listen to you will only do so on evenings & weekends. Sorry, but I don't want to spend my whole entire day cold-calling, and spend my whole entire evening recruiting and my weekend at seminars. It's not for me, and that's fine by me, I don't see it as being brainwashed or being stupid passing up an opportunity. And if you like what you see & hear & go for it, then please, do not have that crap "holier than thou" attitude, just be happy in your own choice.
