Then what are you trying to do?

Maw maw,

First of all on a post I made yesterday I admitted my mistake when I said:

"If you had 4 brand new people join your team this week, you would have made $4,000."

I am sorry that I did not state my last post clearly enough. I want everyone on here to completely understand that the only required purchase to get started in my business is a $99 starter kit. The $99 starter kit provides you with 5 marketing websites, as well as back office training and support on how to run the business properly and ethically.

It is NOT a requirement to purchase the product to participate in the business and you DON'T make money by just signing other people up. I apologize for making it appear that way in my last post.

I couldn't agree with you more Maw Maw, if you are presented with a business where they say you have to buy the product to participate or they say the way we earn money is by recruiting others, run the other direction and fast.

The only way my fiance and I make money is if there is a product purchased from us. The title of the post is called Big Misunderstanding!!

Our business is direct sales. The only way we make money is if there a legitimate sale of a legitimate product. The compensation plan is an Aussie 2 up. It has been around for over 10 years. If there was something illegal or unethical about it, it would not have lasted that long.

Secondly if you are not bashing my business why do you refer to is as a pyramid scheme? Our business is not a pyramid scheme! Pyramid schemes and gifting programs have no product attached to it. It's just people passing around money and definately illegal!

People get started with our business and eventually are able to quit their dead end jobs. They are able to work from home full time like my fiance and I, and are able to spend so much more time with their loved ones. What is wrong with that?

We are NOT doing anything that is unethical. We don't force anyone to join our business or purchase our products. Countless people are purchasing the product every week and deciding to promote the business. We are not selling them or twisting their arm to do it. They go through the system and see the tremendous value in our product and the great potential in our business opportunity. They get started under their own free will.

Of course, this business is not for everyone. We respect that. But we do not respect people trying to taint our business. I was always taught -- if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.

The money we make is great however, that is not the only reason why we do what we do. We do it because we love to change peoples lives. Many people's lives are dramatically changed when using our products or join our business. The best feeling in the world is playing a part in a Mom and Dad being able to kick their dead end job to the curb to come home full time. That is what drives us not the money -- and the reason why we joined a home based business to begin with.

I keep replying to these posts because I feel as though I have to defend my name and my business. In your last post you are implying I am unethical. What gives you the right to say that? What are you basing that on?? You know nothing about me or my business.

Unless you have been in the business or used the product, you are an outsider looking in. You have nothing to base your decision on but yet are rallying the troops to see our business as a scam. You said that you are teaching people the "red flags" but we have squashed every flag you thought you raised on the business. In my opinion -- you should be an expert in the field before teaching others. Let them formulate their own opinions and leave the teachings to the expert guru's like Corey Rudl. We have taken his courses and learned a lot from him and are big fans of his work.

Maw Maw, if you really want to change your financial future you should seriously consider our business. I have not come across anything negative about Emerald Passport, and since you have not experienced it, you cannot judge it from the outside. If you really want to give an honest opinion about it to your community, then try it. Give it a go and earn the right to say whatever you like about it.

If you would like to get any additional questions answered, please don't hesitate to contact us. We can set up a time to talk over the phone.
