    Wow, this is great company to be in this week. Thank you Liz, you’re an A+ supporter and I love you for that.

    Still reading them all, but I loved Darren’s and Marc’s so far. So, Darren and Mark: What if you put a picture of Igor next to the Donation link graphic?

    A really good article on we choose the game plan to suit the game we are playing.

    All these years, I want to have a way to show others that we can be empowered to change our life.

    I started with MLM , thinking that this is the way. But it did not work out too well .

    Only later I realise I could use blog and combine with the power of internet to share my personal experience,my turning point, what methods or tools did I use, what work and what did not which allow me to spread my knowledge faster.

    Today I am glad I could have the courage to share many true experiences that inspire many:-

    Hi Karenlim!
    Blogging is a powerful tool, especially when we combine it with authentic experience from our own lives. 🙂

    Thank you Liz for linking to me.

    Valleywag is a tiresome troll farm that, being a Web 1.0 anachronism, makes readers register just to add user gen content, ie comments.

    They are prancing around all negative about Jason’s Mahalo. Just jealous, I suppose.

    Vaspers!
    I think you are so superior to Valleywag, I’m not even going to try to go down the incredibly long list of reasons that is true. 🙂

    I’m not trying to say I’m better than Valleywag, it’s just that the few times I’ve been there, I just saw bitter attacks on products that I find to be struggling, but basically valuable and good.

    What is up with 2007 being the Year of the Anonymous Coward Internet Troll?

    @Karenlim: it seems that MLM aka multi level marketing is generally a rich get richer at the top scheme, while the grunts below do all the hard work.

    Top people don’t have to sell products, they just have to sell others on selling the products.

    Is this a fair assessment, based on your unfortunate experience?

    Hi Vaspers!
    You’re the last person I would take to be tooting your own horn. You’re the master questioner. . . . I know that. 🙂

    Some folks seem to think that using words to put themselves higher is the way to gain status. They don’t seem to notice that putting other folks down, pulls us down with our words. It’s a lack of vision I think or maybe a wiring problem — you know, heart not connected to head. 🙂

    Vaspers,
    I think your assessment of MLM could be right on the MLM money. 🙂

    Liz: MLM reminds me of how, when a bear is chasing you and your pal, you don’t have to run faster than the bear, just faster than your pal.
