Your Vote Really Does Count!

This week, I had a conversation with a business partner. He is one of the most intelligent men I know. He is on my personal board of directors, and I trust him!

Yet he said something that caught me off-guard: “Our vote doesn't matter!”

What!

So many intelligent Americans believe their vote doesn't matter. This is in part because they tend to believe we are a Constitutional Democracy instead of a Constitutional Republic.

In the 21st Century many Americans believe the “popular (majority) vote is how the President is elected. And whereas our popular vote is very important, what is far more relevant is that every person of age votes in their own county!

Why is this important?

Because as the articles I’ll post below states, each State has a certain number of Electorates o the Electorial Collage based on the amount of representatives in Congress!

So yes your vote counts! 48 of these electorates must, by State Law vote as the majority of their citizens have voted!

See the comments for a deeper dive!

Don’t give up your Right to Vote, then pitch a hissy fit when things don't go your way!

Don't use the excuse about main stream media, social media etc. Media has been spinning elections since before we became a county!

VOTE!

Beachbody eliminates the MLM Model - Why?

Well, the reason mentioned by Mr. Mark Goldston, the company's Executive Chairman, is inside the press release.

“Mr. Goldston continued, “We recognize that in light of today’s current market dynamics and consumer preferences, the multi-level marketing distribution model is outdated and unsustainable.”

Some will debate this fact. However, a few years ago, when the DSA (Direct Sales Association) asked in a survey, “What is direct sales (MLM—Network Marketing)?” The average consumer thought she was buying products from Amazon.

So, whether we want to acknowledge it or not, since 2008, when we entered the current PTE (Post-Trust Era), the average consumer has fact-checked everything a marketer says while they say it!

Add to that the amount of regulatory and MLM critics' rhetoric propaganda about how the network marketing community is full of self-serving, predatory, toxic people who only care about their success, and it is a colossal war.

It is a war in which most insiders seem to hope that, like in decades past, the regulators and critics will get tired and go away. NOT!

Since Advocare shared the results of their forensic accountant report, more companies have shifted their business models.

Think about it… if your network has stopped growing, regulators are prowling around, and the top leaders are either sitting back semi-retired or fighting hard but can't get momentum, what should you do?

It comes down to a fiduciary decision: Do we protect the field of independent professionals, risk regulator challenges, and critics slamming the brand, or do we protect ourselves and the company and mitigate the risks?

I've grown up in their wonderful community. Over the last 55 years, I've gone from a 5-year-old carrying my mom’s Tupperware bag to a full-time rep, company executive, equity owner, private advisor, expert witness, hall of famer, SEC-sanctioned, and top 10% of income earners.

But at no time have I buried my head in the sand and denied the fact that regulators and critics generally have solid points of contention.

For at least the last twenty years, we have refused to speak up and hold each other accountable. Instead, we make excuses, put scammers on stage, and pretend we don't know what's happening.

And now we have significant financial institutions like Bloomberg writing articles and shooting documentaries on how predatory this community is towards college kids, single moms, and the elderly—showcasing some no better than motivational cult leaders.

And yet we as a community do nothing to very little…

Then we wonder why Rodan & Fields, Beachbody, and others are killing their MLM channels.

My mentor, Rod Cook, the original MLM Watchdog, warned me that this season would come if we didn't do something. We launched the Distributor Rights Association, aka ANMP 2024. But somewhere along the way, the association stopped fighting for standards, stopped lobbying Washington, and stopped educating the rank and file.

Let’s all stand up and do what we know is morally and ethically right for the consumers and the companies we represent.

If we don’t, we will continue to see top-tier direct sales/MLM/Network Marketing companies convert to DTC (Direct-To-Consumer) companies.

We Will Never Forget…
1. The loss of innocent lives that day.
2. The sacrifice of the men and women on Flight 93
3. The selfless actions of the first responders.
4. The fast actions of our military.
5. The Unity of We The People when we needed it the most!

Take time today to reflect on our great nation and how We, The People, make it great!

Let's put it this way… In 1620, 102 people landed on these shores to start a new life. Not one of them had any idea if they would live or die…

A little over 156 years later, the 102 had grown to around 2.5 million people who declared their independence and formed the United States of America.

It took another 10 years—1786—for the US Constitution to be written (ratified in 1787), but We, The People, did it…

Fast forward to 2024, and look at all We, The People, have overcome to become better and stronger…

Let’s stop allowing the Government Of The People And For The People to run amuck!

Start at home, in your city and county, and make a difference today!

Don’t ever forget… United We Stand Divided We Fall!

Breaking News Rodan & Fields News:

Breaking now… After a thorough review, the company seems to be shifting away from the traditional network marketing model and considering a more streamlined consultant model—what some might call an affiliate model.

By September 1, the traditional MLM model may disappear, and all consultants will be directly connected to the company.

It seems recruiting or team building will disappear.

The company has gone through several shifts over the last couple of years. Sometimes, they have listened to the field and compromised in certain areas. I hope that, in the next few months, they will come up with a solution that will benefit all involved.

I'll continue to cover this story as news breaks!
