If you are reading this article right now, then you’re probably doing some research on Monavie. Whether it’s on the company itself, their compensation plan, maybe their products. You could even be a Monavie distributor. It doesn’t matter, you’re here right now and want to find out more.
Well the truth is, Monavie is in fact a great company. They haven’t really been around for that long, 4 or so years, but have already established themselves as leaders and have joined massive MLM companies like Amway and Herbalife in the over USD1 Billion per year revenue range. And they did this much quicker than most of the companies out there.
Now, this can be attributed to many things. Their compensation plan, their quality acai berry product, which is said to be one of the most potent natural anti oxidants out there in the market place. And even the good management of the company itself.
But just because all these things fall into place does not necessarily mean that you will have instant success. There are many other MLM companies out there that have good qualities, just like Monavie, and yet there some distributors that make money, and many that don’t. This is prevalent industry wide,…

I recently had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman on Twitter called David who is now based in Switzerland with his wife and son. I checked out his blog which you guys can check out at www.onelifenofear.com which is very different to most blogs I have come across.
He really focuses on teaching and sharing his experiences with regards to being an entrepreneur which I personally have never seen before. There is an entire section just dedicated to “sales skills” and “motivational techniques” which has some great content in there if you’re looking for help in those areas.
With so much experience behind him, it is not surprising that David’s blog has so much great information on it. Most of the resources and information are articles, posts and podcasts that give great insight into different areas of entrepreneurialism.
It is also one of the more interactive blogs I’ve visited, laid out with pictures, audio streams, pod casts and a free newsletter as well.
Keep an eye on this one guys. You may just learn something from this man!

So the question is, are these companies really pyramid schemes?
To start off, I want to get the meaning of pyramid scheme out of the way. So here is the pyramid scheme definition.
It is a non-sustainable business model that involves the exchange of money for enrolling people into a scheme where there is no real product or service. I just want to repeat that. There is NO REAL product or service. So what happens is, eventually the number of new recruits fails to sustain the payment structure and the scheme collapses with most people losing the money they paid in. And the reason is that distributors concentrate on the money that they can earn by recruiting new people and completely ignore the marketing and selling of any products or services. Because there are none!
So just to clarify, a pyramid scheme is illegal.
This is very different to Network Marketing where a company decides to sell their products direct to the consumer through word of mouth. They use this method instead of paying for advertising costs. So instead of paying the advertising companies, they pay their distributors commissions for doing the work. So in reality, the main goal is to distribute real…

Is this even possible?!
Oh yes, absolutely. But then again, something that sounds so good normally would send alarm bells ringing in your head. And rightly so. With so much garbage flying around these days, it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s not.
But let’s just take a step back and look at what we’re talking about here.
What is legit, not impossible to achieve and can really give you a home based lifetime residual income? Well the one and only thing that comes to my mind when talking about these 2 things in combination; home based and residual income, is the Network Marketing or MLM industry.
In fact, those are the 2 biggest reasons, well besides the high earning potential, why people are so attracted to this industry. But did you know that 97% of all network marketers fail?! Sounds crazy doesn’t it? Well it’s true.
And do you want to know why?
The truth is, that Network Marketing companies unintentionally set their distributors up to fail. And this may sound ridiculous, but how else would you explain the insanely high failure rate?
The main problem is, that most Network Marketing companies DO NOT train their distributors on how…
