That is always the trade mark of these companies. Appeal to people on the lower end of the income scheme and promise them the world. Like don't make the most out of your 35k salary by doing this, this and this with it and it will grow to this. No, they preach the idea that you'll make so much money you can buy a monster house and the greatest sports car and the money will flow endlessly and you won't be able to spend it all. As a result most people never get past the first level and accomplish nothing in these setups.

A few years back I had a room mate who was going to get sucked in Quixtar and was going to their presentation and he asked me to come along with him. So I went and absolutely ruined the guys presentation to the point where he was physically trying to get me to leave his house. Apparently he didnt like my comments about if he knew his elbow from his butt about how to handle money. I suggested that since he was an electrician with a good income and minimal expenses that he should find a way to buy 2-3 houses in Sylvan Lake and rent them out. I heard about a year later that this guy who hosted the presentation had given up and was still working as an electrian just like he had for the past 25 years. Had this guy been focused on working his own money, and invested the money the way I told him to he'd be a millionaire now. But like a lot of people didn't have the menatality as to how to go about working for and building wealth.
