What History Can Teach Us

In the previous article, The Ponzi Scheme was introduced, the first documented scam related to network marketing.

Ever since Charles Ponzi had his ill-conceived idea, other plans have come and gone. Many others followed Ponzi and many millions of other people lost fortunes to unsustainable business ideas and schemes.

  1. No matter how great the return, any business model incapable of sustaining massive growth will eventually collapse.

  2. Any business model depending on new investors to pay returns to current investors will eventually collapse.

  3. Any investment comes with risks.

  4. Smart investors understand the risks of investing.

  5. Smart investors do not invest in any business model they cannot understand or proof of sustainability that is not provable.

  6. Extraordinary claims of investment returns should be backed with extraordinary proof.

Anyone starting a business based on network marketing should keep all of these ideas in mind at all times.
