News, comment, observation, opinion, speculation & small-talk… some of 'who & what's happening in business, Network Marketing, and Life'.

Arrive, breeze through, then leave—repeat often.

Updated almost daily (excluding weekends), expect an eclectic blend of short & easy-to-read perspective-setting stuff geared toward helping sensible folk do better business and enjoy life.

'Insightful, informed, experiential, no-holds-barred commentary', with style & attitude we speak strongly against the hype, manipulative techniques, ethically-questionable shenanigans and other 'bonkers' behavior which characterize too much of Network Marketing.

To make you think. And help you understand.

Informative & provocative, with the noble (ha!) intent of 'helping the unwary not get suckered' much of what's here debunks 'accepted Network Marketing wisdom'.

Why? Because, despite the heady promises, much of it only benefits the sellers and does little-or-nothing to help build decent businesses—and can often be a hindrance or directly damaging.

Toward that, we frequently feature good examples of 'regular business' (y'know, the stuff that doesn't have a horrendous fail-rate and an in-the-crapper reputation)—from which there's a lot of good lessons to be learned.

And, 'brain required' you'll often need to be joining your own dots to figure just how this stuff can best help you.

'Parental Advisory'…

If you like your Network Marketing to be soft'n'sappy or just want to read about 'how great it all is', go now—and run, don't walk.

This is not the usual happy-clappy hype & rah-rah feelgood nonsense. Instead, in punches-not-pulled work for grown-ups, we candidly cover the problems of this business and, more importantly, focus on the solutions.

You talking to me…?

With a healthy dose of irreverent candor, what's here is unapologetically outspoken.

Penned in a loose & informal conversational style, it'll often be opinionated, usually critical & challenging, sometimes controversial—and maybe just plain rude.

'Critics are our friends—they show us our faults', everything here is constructively-intentioned—so, if you're offended, please adjust your temperament.

Why are we so hard on so much? Simple: the lessons to be learned (here's how not to do stupid stuff) are too important for us to keep quiet.

Our message is clear & simple: wake-up, wise-up… get real and be responsible. Every action from a Network Marketer should create a better impression of the business.
