		<description>Thanks so much John.

What you just said is something too many recruiters in this business are not aware of or even care to know. But I believe it&#039;s a moral responsibility of anybody trying to recruit his friends and relatives to at least hear from people who are knowledgeable on the good, the bad and the ugly in this industry.

It&#039;s a case of the blind leading the blind. Or, in some cases, &quot;intentionally blind&quot; because of the desire for instant gratification.

		<description>Hi Jose :D

In practice, it can probably be done. I&#039;ve done it, a number of times.

But the real question should probably be &quot;why would they WANT to?&quot;

The reality in this kind of situation is too often that, in spite of working against the company&#039;s win-lose attitudes and practices, once they become genuinely successful, the company is very likely to create an excuse to place them in dispute, stop paying them, delay any action for a year or more (to run them short of money), then invoke the &quot;mandatory arbitration&quot; clause in most MLM agreements, appoint the arbitrator (who may be highly dependent on that MLM company for their income), and use the distributor&#039;s confiscated bonus income to fund the case against them, resulting in termination of their distributorship — and roll-up of their downline organisation to the company, so it keeps ALL the income that should be going to the leader.

This happens far more often than most people are willing to believe.

I won&#039;t consider doing business that doesn&#039;t embody win-win attitudes and actions -- and in their DEEDS, not just their WORDS. (Talk is cheap.)

Hope this helps.

		<description>Hello John,

Is it possible for a win-win upline leader and his team (all win-win people) thrive successfully working with a win-lose network marketing company, without compromising their values?

Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
