PILLAR ONE

You will have now decided where you fit in the colour scheme, lets see if we can expand our knowledge and the tasks that lie ahead ensuring you take the right path!

If you are looking for a company to join or simply want to evaluate the company you are already with, Michael's 5 Pillars technology outlines a simple method to measure any company. Caution: Please do Yourself a favour and answer these questions with your critical eye.
A company may have the greatest products and the best pay plan on the planet, but if it is lacking any of the Five Pillars, you could lose EVERYTHING overnight. Your income and Reputation are at stake.
The correct answers to these 5 questions WILL save You years of Failure and Frustration.

Pillar 1: Does the company management have personal experience building their own networking organization? Have they done it with Integrity?

• Search Google for the owners of the company.
• Do the owners have Integrity? Add the word 'Scam' to your search.
• Do the owners have a Corporate background or an in-the-field Network Marketing background?
• Read your "Policies & Procedures" and "Terms & Conditions";
both are part of your Legal Contract.
• Look for the word "On going".
• Look for policies that strike you as "Unreasonable". Like "Termination, with or without cause".
• Ask yourself "Does this contract protect me or the company?" "Is it clear which way it leans?"
• Does the company charge you for training or a company web site?
• Does the company charge you for each pay check they send you?
• Rules of Thumb:
• The longer the contract, the greater the possibility that the policies important to you
are being hidden in "Legalese"!
• If it's a "Cash Only" business...It's a Scam!
• If you can buy a position at the top...It's a Scam!
• If you are offered a "Special Deal"...the playing field isn't level for all.
• If the products are sold on eBay at a greatly reduced price...Buy there instead.
• If a company is publicly traded, Financial Decisions Will be made in Favour of the
Stockholders at the Expense of the Distributors.

Does this not make you think? (To follow will be Pillar Two)
