Your Future Is
Tied To The Past
by Michael S. Clouse
In 1905 George Santayana, the
Spanish-born American author, wrote "Those who
cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat
it." So does that mean we get a "free pass" on
our future if we simply choose to remain in
ignorance? Not exactly...
Ignorantia legis neminem
excusat! Latin for ignorance of the law
excuses no one. In other words, we have an
obligation—and at times even a legal
responsibility—to learn what we can from
history.
Now I'm not suggesting we only
study the negative just so we can better
appreciate the positive. However, I do believe
we have a duty of sorts to learn what we can
from both sides; "Here's what's acceptable..."
and "Here's what will get you into trouble..."
Take for example your
Network Marketing
business. I'm sure you represent a great
company, offer fantastic products, and are paid
exceedingly well. And although that may be true
for you, it was also what most distributors
thought who at one time represented companies
like Bigsmart, Jewelway, and Skybiz. Now in case
you weren't involved in the MLM industry a few
years back—or don't remember the past—Bigsmart, Jewelway, and Skybiz were all shut
down by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for
illegal activities. Not good.
Therefore, to learn what is
more than acceptable, consider being guided by
the shared vision and commitments expressed in
The Future of Network Marketing by
Richard B. Brooke, along with the
DSA's Code
of Ethics. They may not be perfect, and yet
if you follow them both closely you will
probably stay out of trouble. And again, to
learn what will get you into trouble—so you can
stay out of trouble—seriously consider reading these
linked reports:
Bigsmart
FTC Report – Jewelway
FTC Report – Skybiz
FTC Report.
Because by the time you've
finished considering all seven linked pages above,
I'm sure you'll agree this is a part of the past
you don't want repeated in your future.
All the best,
MSC
P.S. If after reviewing all seven linked pages above you believe you're
representing a business that will eventually be shut down,
then find a
legitimate MLM Company and build a
real future!
