I have come into a extremely wonderful opportunity of a multi level type of business. It hasnt been launched yet but I have faith that it will be great. Now I have never done MLM businesses before but I do know that there is a lot of "pounding the pavement" of sorts. How do you get started doing it. I havent the slightest idea...can any of you help with some knowledge...personal experiences. No negativity please.

the first thing you need to do is to find out if this is a reputable company and what the history behind the founders are like and their track record. Are they reputable? Are they backing the business with their money or other peoples? Do they have integrity? Is the product something everyone can benefit from?
Next, get your names list ready-100 people, and friendship farm- look for friends who have friends. Is there a franchise like approach to the business? Is there follow up materials? Is there a website for info about this like mine- www.debjim.com? What are you offering? I am looking for a real estate broker in Indiana- do you know of anyone?

Knowing what MLM is means seeking and listening and thinking like a small business - that means the last sentence to your question already sets you up for a decision based on emotion. Look in the mirror and ask if you really want true advice, or are just looking for others to be 'yes' men to your question. Due diligence means also looking at the negatives. If you're not willing to look at the negatives also, then you've answered your question without firing a shot. Why ask? If you enter into a relationship listening to the good, bad and the ugly, then the decisions made are based on good intel; and the consequences are always yours alone. The good intel is only as good as your willingness to check it out beyond your comfort zone. Advice and opinions are always personal and 20/20 in hindsight. Everybody sells. I'm selling you my opinion. You have to sell yourself to wake up and do another day. Every thing's a decision and we all have filters for survival; denial, procrastination, voting with your emotions, using your gut feeling, analysis paralysis, rationalization...figuring out whether you want to go with a business, mlm or not, is like figuring out whether you want to date someone, or even marry that person. So, it doesn't matter what others say; it only matters how serious you are, or not, and whether it turns out to be a mistake or not; are you willing to take the consequences? There's always tomorrow. Is this a product or enlistment program? Would you sell this to your mother - and could you sleep doing this if it doesn't work? You have all the questions, and you have all the answers. The rest is technical jargon and rules for regulation.
