I have been in Network21 for a couple of years but now I am out of it. Here are the plusses and minuses in my experience.
Plusses
-It's a good way to learn about marketing. I appreciate the knowledge that I gained although I paid dearly with my time and money.
-It it suits your personality and if you are a peoples person, it is a good way of establishing a small business. It's not exactly a business. Self-employment is probably a better word.
-Sadly plusses end here.
Minuses
-You need to devote time. And not an hour a day as some people claim but much more than that if you want to make it big.
- Nobody will tell you that failure (drop-out) rate is very high. Yes, those who make it make good money but for everyone who makes it, there are numerous who fail.
-It's not just $100 that you are investing. You will have to continously keep investing in seminars, tapes, books and products. In the end don't be surprised if you end up spending thousands. So it is important to make up your mind firmly either way.
-It's a very good way of losing friends and relatives. Steer clear of people who you like. Nobody likes to lose money. If your friend loses money because of you, he won't be happy. And there is much more chance of a person losing money than making it in this.
It's easy to be carried away. I think you gotta get your priorities right and decide if it suits your personality. Again it turns out really good for a very small minority and not so good for majority. You could be in either side depending upon your personality.
Cheers.
