I would like to start off with saying a little bit about myself. Im a 22 year old male living in Petoskey, Michigan and work for a grocery store as a cashier. I began working there when I was fifteen as a bag boy then moved right on up from there. Outside of work I have wonderful and beautiful girlfriend who is going to college to become a teacher. My interests are Computers, video games, Star Wars, and Star Trek (Yes Im a geek) and Nascar.
The reason I began this blog(Web journal) was to talk about MLM (Multilevel Marketing) and describe my experiences in a company called Quixtar in which I feel has been causing more hurt then good.
Back in the spring of 2003 I was approached by a friend whom I hadn't seen in a while to join a new business he was starting out in. He came wearing a black/dark blue suit which I was surprised to see him in because I had never seen him in a suit before and he was the last person I had ever expected to see in a suit. He told me he wanted to discuss an opportunity that could change my life forever. Being that he was a good friend I said sure why not and because I wanted to know what in the world could have possible got him into a suit short of judgment day. So later on that day we met at a restaurant where he had another person was with him. We ordered some food and my friends associate proceeded to turn over a napkin and started asking me what I wanted out of life. What kind of house and car etc. Most were very materialistic items. Which I am sure is supposed to appeal to my greed. But unfortunately at the time these things did appeal to me. He then proceeded to show me some figures about how people make money and how the government says how long the average person works and when they retire with how much money. It was a very bleak outlook on life. He then told me that they had a business that could change all that and allow me to realize all my dreams. He then asked me to attend a meeting that they hold every week with my friend if I was at all interested. Well after that presentation I was indeed interested; I wanted to do anything to avoid my supposed bleak future.
More to come in my next post.
