 | | It's going to happen, online or real world. From sidewalk lemonade stands to the so-called social security. So, yeah, never give up and try to choose the lesser of the evils offered. |

 | | Wow..Thanks for sharing Diane. |
|
| |
 | | Diane,
Great post. Yes, we all have to pay our dues, but it is worth it all. Making it a dues paying day in the IBO neighborhood!
|
|
| |
 | | great story Diane. I'm with Zeek as well. The leaders there do a great job of insuring that the company stays in compliance. Thanks for sharing. |

 | | Great article. As a newbie to the industry it did not take me long to realise that there are some true horror stories in the on-line industry. However, there are also similar stories in the "traditional world" as well. I have seen it first hand and lost signifcantly more than $30,000.
So I am now a convert to this industry and will seek out the diamonds amongst the coal. |

| |
 | | Very good article. I guess the moral of the story is Never Give Up. liked and tweeted. Jack |
|
| |
 | | EXCELLENT POST AND VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER THANK YOU VERY NICE !!! |
|
| |
 | | I must say that was a really nasty scammer. I hope he is caught. Great article warning others to be careful and to never give up. There are lots of genuine business opportunities on the internet as you have proved. I too have been scammed and I too have joined some excellent programs that pay me. |
|
| |
 | | I think we all have been their with scams on the internet. You have a great attitude in just keep on going no matter what. Great blog and thanks for sharing! ;D
|
|
| |
 | | Loved your blog and your understanding that the industry rocks! Glad you've found what you believe in and continued success to you! |
|
| |
 | | It's very gratifying to read so many kind comments and feel such support from other leaders in the industry. Some people have been blessed with success right out of the gate. Others of us have a different story BUT the key is we didn't quit when the going got tough! I'm honored to be surrounded with such winners here at IBO! Thank you again! |
|
| |
 | | Great Blog Diane i can totally relate, in 2008 i was scammed out of $15,000 by 4 companies together, dabbled in a few things till 2010 than got serious got some internet skills, now set to make some money on the net. blessings to your success |
|
| |
 | | Glad to hear you have found something that is working for you. I know most of us have been scammed a time or two. Thank you for being so open with your story! |
|
| |
 | | Yes, Diane, I can relate to your blog. Same thing happened to me. One day soon I will blog about it. Two different companies. Both closed keeping thousands of dollars of my money. One way to know if you are doing well, is to add up the money you are spending and add the money you are making. If you are in the hole, then it is time to move on. Thanks again Diane |
|
| |
 | | I know what it's like to "have been" in several different companies. I'm glad you found something that will work for you and your team. Thanks for sharing with us. |
|
| |
 | | Good personal story of not quitting. Just dust it up and get going no matter what the stumbles are along the way. |
|
| |
 | | Great blog Diane! I know what you mean about if you don't believe in what you are promoting the customer won't believe in it either. |
|
| |
 | | Hi diane, you are a winner in my eyes,when you can overcome...you win! |
|
| |
 | | So many AHA moments o which all leaders and business owners can relate. Doing the research about a company and understanding the policies and procedures. Most of all we have to be mature enough to see in the goal in every failure and monetize the opportunity. Nice one Dianne. |
|
| |
| | As I wrote this I wondered and worried that I might be sharing too much; that I might discourage someone just starting out! As I read your comment, I knew in my heart it was right to share this sad story to encourage anyone who has been disappointed. Quitters never win and winners never quit! If you are struggling, hang on to your dreams; it's well worth it! Thanks my IBO friends for your encouragement. What a wonderful place we have found here at IBO! |
|
| |
 | | A Wonderful Post Diane, The trials of the many Internet Network Marketing Ventures can be overwhelming. Persistance to overcome these create winners like you Diane. Thanks for sharing your story. |
|
| |
 | | Knowing the ultimate destination makes finding alternate routes just simply part of life's grand adventure! Good for you for not doing what so many have done ... turn around and go back and never venture out again. Lessons are learned in so many different ways. As long as we learn and grow it very likely prove beneficial in the long run. Much continued success to you! ~LonnieG |

| |
 | | Wow,Diane.I thought it was bad when I lost $15,000.But to say the least most of us have been scammed at one time or another.The really hard part is when you see another newbie advertising a company you have been scammed by.You are with good companies now and just like me,thats all that counts.I am tweeting this for you and wish you continued success. |
|
| |
 | | Great article Diane. I love Energy too! |
|
| |
 | | wow thanks of sharing your story and I am glad from all that that you keep your head up! |
|
| |
 | | Thanks for sharing your story Diane. I was scammed when, after building network marketing business, one that claimed we could build "lifetime residual income," I - along with hundreds of others - was terminated! In writing, they said we were "terminated without cause." We never knew for sure the criteria they used to terminate, because people earning more & less than I were not terminated. Everyone should do LOTS of research prior to joining with any company. |
|
| |
 | | Diane, if we've been in network marketing for anytime we all have been scammed at one time or another - me included. Great story - I wish you all the best. David Glassey |
|
| |
 | | Thanks so much for share Diane - right from the heart! Wishing you and your team much success! Irene |
|
| |
 | | Great info, there is a lot of scams out there and a lot of programs that promise you the world only to take your money and dump you alongside all the other unsuccessful sign-ups. It is however good to see that you fought through the bad and are now succeeding online! Great Job! |
