Yes, you do have a chance to make money while performing a very valuable service to the community. The concepts are correct, the products good for the consumer.
HOWEVER: Who you work with will make all the difference.
Do not automatically assume the biggest offices are the best. A lot got big by recruiting anyone and everyone, then selling to the new recruits. They only focus on recruiting, and will have you do the same. Check the incomes of the staff. You'll find that these offices have a few at the top making some money, and a "revolving door" with everyone else.
Do yourself a favor - FIND AN OFFICE THAT WILL ACTUALLY TRAIN YOU - product skills, people skills, and most importantly SALES SKILLS!
Some offices will have you believe that you can recruit your way to the top. That's 100% bull. No matter how hard they try to deceive you, IT'S A SALES BUSINESS - you have to sell to make money, not just recruit.
Find an office that will teach you the skills you will need to succeed.
Don't go by sheer size - go by checking the incomes of the people at all levels, and check the training carefully.
Don't become one of the statistics - most will fail, not because of their desire, but because of the design of the "recruit to win" philosophy. Good Luck!!!
