Well I have been bashed enough

Businessman is profit driven. Manager is management skills driven. An entrepreneur is innovation driven. So look for your profit, take the whole profit but a quarter give. A quarter for your networking to grow from seed stage to growth stage. Just do it and you get it.

That is the kind of attitude I look for in team members. VERY well said.

You know what? You are exactly right. I am going to treat it just like I do every other aspect of my business. Some people like it and some people do not. Just because someone is interested in my business does not mean I automatically get them started. There is an interview process to ensure they are up to my standards before I will invest my time in them. Thank you for your words of inspiration!!!

I do not know if they are jealous or not. What I keep hearing is your company charges a start-up fee so it has to be a scam. Well I work with a 15 yr old $100 million debt free company that deals with companies like Wal-Mart, Target, CVS, Lens Crafters, Pearl Vision, Sear, JC Penney, Walgreens, etc. These companies do not deal with scams and yes they do charge a extremely small start-up fee because they originally let people get started from home for free and guess what happened. Thousands of people (probably just like the negative ones I have run across here) "said" they wanted to work from home and actually did nothing. So my company lost millions of dollars setting up websites, accounts and sent out starter kits to lazy people. The small fee is atleast somewhat of a gurantee that we are dealing with people who really want to work. Besides I do not know of any other place you can work from home and start a legitimate business that helps people make money and save money for $95. You know if you do not want to join I do not really care and if you want to work from home and cannot afford $95 then they probably should get off their lazy butts and get a job.

Thank you for the positive feedback and you are right that you can find positive and negative feedback on any business. As far as anyone "attempting" to warn me off my business becuase they feel it is less than legit, I have been with them for quite awhile now and I KNOW them to be a great and legitimate business. From what I have read on various posts on mylot there seems to be this common thread or "money involved means scam" When you are dealing with a home based business that thinking is completely ubsurd. There is a difference between making a few dollars online and having a business. People seem to constantly post thinks like "my home business" when referring to GPT sites and that IS NOT a home business. It is simply a way to make a little money online.

Thank you for the well wishes and I did not think there would be a problem with it but to be accused of trying to scam people is very disheartening when all we are trying to do is meet new people and have meaningful discussions about life.

Thank you for the comment and I the responses to this discussion as well as some private messages have persuaded me to stick it out. I do like the site and all the discussions you are able to participate in.

And they are everywhere. I hate such people.

Thank you for the well wishes and you are correct that there are miserable people in this world that only find pleasure in making others misrerable

Thanks for the comments and I will not juge the members by a few comments. You are correct that rules are important to me and I prefer conduct myslef as a professional.

I do make ok money. I average about $600-$800 a week in new business and that adds about another $120 a week to my monthly residual income. I make money in two ways. I get paid daily for work I submit online by 5pm. As an example last I received a check today for $270 for 3 applications I submitted last thursday but I also get a monthly commission as long as the account is active. I submitted one more today and will receive a check for $90 either friday or next monday. Every morning the company reviews work submitted the day before and cuts and mails check monday-friday. By the end of my first year in the business I should, as long as I keep at the pace I am currently on be bringing in about $5000-$6000 monthly. Keep in mind this is not a business for everyone. If you do not like talking to people then you would not like it. You have to be able to talk to people about your business and the services it offers. Not cold calling because we do not cold call or sell anything like avon, party-lite, etc. I do not "sell" anything because I only talk to people who have expressed interest in either the service or the business. Basically I provide them information about either making money or saving money (no, not investments or financial services) and if they are interested I submit their information online through a couple websites the company provides for me and I get paid. That is basically how it works for most. I am a little different because I am also a trainer so my job is to help people with the business but I get additional compensation for that as well.
