'could be' goes both ways. they also 'could be' absolutely worthless. whereas with affiliate programs, join = $, straight up

i know you have to speak in generalities and potential in order to make what you're selling (yes, you're selling, although you say there is 'no marketing' involved) sound appealing and worthwhile. you have to contradict yourself by saying things like: "all of those people on my waiting list will join" and then turning around to say "those 13 alone could be my retirement". it's part of the sales pitch. i grew up with amway folks. they spoke this same way. but at least with amway you or anyone else could buy/sell the products when you wanted, so a true salesman could potentially work their earnings. the fact that the only way to get this product is by joining the program is a red flag and actually makes it MORE flawed than other mlm's. if you stop looking at the 'could be/would be' stuff you might actually see the flaws yourself.

don't take peoples' attacks personally. they are really (mostly) just attacking this program or mlm's altogether. i admit i'm one of them. i wish you luck, because luck is the ONLY thing that will garner you success with this
