If you are in Multilevel marketing, please stop claiming you are an ‘Independent Business Owner.’

INDEPENDENT

“ADJECTIVE- FREE FROM OUTSIDE CONTROL; NOT SUBJECT TO ANOTHER’S AUTHORITY: AN INDEPENDENT NUCLEAR DETERRENT. THE STUDY IS TOTALLY INDEPENDENT OF CENTRAL GOVERNMENT ”

The above definition is from The Oxford English Dictionary.

Questions to ask yourself

  • Do you set your own terms and conditions?
  • Can you change suppliers?
  • Can you change the policies?
  • Do you have any say in your activities, over and above what hours you work or the prices you sell at?
  • What are you independent from? Apart from employee rights and wages.

  1. One thing I would say to people in an MLM is that if you have an upline, then you have a boss! People who join MLMs are lured by the idea of “being your own boss.” A true independent/small business owner actually owns the company they work for. MLM reps calling themselves “owners” or “bosses” are really insulting to anyone who actually owns a small business.
