This whole industry has a lot of real fantastic things going for it, but the hype is a real deterrent, not just for those looking at joining the industry, but those in the industry as well.

I ran my own retail business for 10 yrs before getting into Direct Sales. I took those business skills and applied them to my DS business and like you built a six figure income.
