I had a guy approach me at a gas station a few years ago (when I had my 2000 Grand Am) and start out with "Wow! Nice car."

True, the car was well-kept, but even I didn't think it was worth a walk across a gas station for. He handed me a business card and asked if he could meet me the next day for lunch at a local restaurant. I said "sure".

So I meet the guy the next day, he has a fancy little binder with flip charts and such and gives the spiel about how this "business" has "unlimited earning potential". He also didn't order any lunch. (I guess he didn't have the cash flow yet...)

The first thing that always strikes me about these schemes is that you are rewarded more for recruiting other people than for actually selling stuff. The second thing is that there is not "unlimited earning potential". Assuming everyone on the planet is willing to sign up, you'd eventually hit that limit. The truth is that far less people are willing to sign up, and about everyone who is willing (read: stupid) enough to sign up for these for the most part already has.

BTW, what the heck do you do tabs? I'm guessing that maybe you're sitting on a lump of well-earned cash and living of the returns?
