wahm2my2boys, I know exactly what you are referring to. You are talking about a hierarchy or what some people refer to as a "pyramid".
I know since I have been involved in mlm or network marketing, people who have little to no understanding about the work from home business opportunities, refer to a mlm or network marketing as a "pyramid scheme".
If people stop to think about it, most companies have structures that can be referred to as a pyramid or a hierarchy. You have to the top person, usually the CEO, followed by the President, Vice Presidents, Directors, Managers, and so on. So, you are correct wahm2my2boys; pyramids/hierarchy are not owned by MLM or network marketing business opportunities.
The thing I like about MLM's and network marketing opportunities, which you also mention, is the opportunity for the "little person" to make a lot of money. At a company or corporation, the opportunity to make an unbelievable income by working hard, for most people, is not possible. Most times, at a company, in order to make a good income, you usually have to trade time for money, meaning, you acquire more responsibility that requires you to put in more time at the job. So, you are not really making good money, not based on the amount of work you put into your job. I know. I have been there. I made a very good income way back when, but I just about lived at my job. I had absolutely no personal life. The end result for me, "burn out". This is why I am working on developing a business for myself and my family.
