We often get caught up in our businesses. I sometimes am faced with making the Sale at my day job or telling the customer that if they buy that particular car it may or may not be driveable in the winter. It is tough!

I was in Church on Sunday and the Priest told us that the number one elective in our Graduate schools is Classes on Ethics. He explained that Liability was an obvious reason. But the demand is greater than our Future leaders learning how to protect themselves. I for one think it is great that our future Doctors, Lawyers, and other Professionals are interested in Ethics. Their thirst to learn how to act with morals is commendable. I also am a little sad that we need to teach Ethics in College. Shouldn't that have been ingrained in us from day one? I admit I have had a few lapses in judgement and I am far from perfect but I always, deep inside, know right from wrong.

I am also a Professional Network Marketer and faced with decisions everyday. I still need help making the right choice. First I have Prayer to help me. Then Family. And Now I have a great group of peers that will always tell me like it is. With this Mentoring I will definetely make the right choice.

But what about those who do not have that mentoring? There are many choices we make in this wonderful industry. Some Companies have compensation plans that are designed to reward the people at the top and feed off the newbies that don't know any better. Some are designed to make the company owners wealthier and keep the masses content. Then there are some that are illegal. If you need help to identify an illegal company, or if your compensation plan is fair, e-mail me and I will give you tools to determine the answers to these questions.. I myself have been in an illegal company and when I was shown the law, I got out. I would not feel good getting someone involved in a company that is not legal. The monetary reward is very high in the company I was in but it was wrong. Many people are still building that business and many other illegal companies are being built as I write this. The State Attorney offices across our country cannot keep up with the scammers. That is one reason they get away with it, if you are asking. When they get big enough they are shut down or the owners scam the builders and start something new. Don't believe that because someone tells you they have integrity that it is true.
As for unfair compensation, although it's legal, is it ethical?

We have more than our business at stake each time we speak with someone about our opportunity. Our prospect is looking for an extra income, or freedom from his job, or enough to pay for his retirement. His or Her Hopes and Dreams are on the line. No one can guarantee success, but if we kowingly mislead someone then we give our industry a bad name, ourselves a bad reputation, and we steal from the prospect. Dreams and Money! The money can be replaced but what about the dreams?

If you would like help identifying a good company please feel free to e-mail me. I will send you the formula to check out the company.

Good Luck and God Bless You,
