Skeptical is not the word.  I was DEAD against network marketing.  After all, Jesse and I have built together and run 3 different traditional businesses.  (2 semi-active and 1 fully active yet.)  We know how to do it, and God always blesses us in it, even when we make major mess-ups.  We are both born entrepreneurs.  We both also know, neither of us could have done it without the other, but more importantly, we could have never done it without God.  At any rate, why then, would we choose network marketing for our 4th business?  Do you even realize how much "negative" attitude is out there about MLM companies?  Do you have any idea how much some people are AGAINST this type of business?  Why on earth would I even look at such a business model?  I think Robert Kiyosaki sums up in 10 minutes a few of the exact reasons we chose this model to build upon... we have been blessed, absolutely blessed, and long to give back to others and help them to do the same.  But we can only help those people who are willing to see this industry for what it really is, and open their mind to looking at it for themselves, not based on something they've heard, or an opinion they've formed with no real basis.  (WHICH IS EXACTLY HOW I USED TO BE!)
