If you are willing to make the sacrifices it can work.



Super. PM when you've become a billionaire off other people's sweet naivete.

:P



I don't know how to break it to you but most fortunes are built off of the backs of others.What's with the tone? Do you have some failure issues in reguards to some multi-level business?

Monavie is great for nutrition. It doesn't cure cancer any more than anything else over-the-counter.



Never said it did.

I don't have all the aches and pains I thought were normal when I'm drinking it. I have more energy when I'm drinking it. And it's way better for me than any energy drink or anti-inflammatory pills.

I know a few people who aren't doing the business end (including one who says network marketing is evil) but are drinking the juice because it makes them feel good.

Call it snake oil if you want. I call it good shit.

I'll stick to pomegrantes.



Monavie has them, too. And acai berry - with the highest antioxidant score of any fruit studied to date. And 16 other really good for you and yummy fruits. :P

Apparently “the secret” doesn’t work all that well on grammar.


doesn't work on closed minded judgmental people either

We have all typed something quickly and didn't bother to check the spelling and or grammar. If I get the point I have never felt the need to point out something like that. Obviously some people do but to do it by other than a PM just shows some real superiority issues.

disclaimer: I'm not a psychologist but I play one on the internet.

It's not that it is so different.
It's that it is new and gives people hope and I believe that new ways of self improvement, physical or emotional, mental, or spiritual are exciting and give us a new way to work on ourselves. What I like about it is that it totes that you are GREAT just as you are right now! Not that you don't need change but your GREAT, just as you are, how easy is that.,
Oh, by the way, sorry if I spelled any words incorrectly... There's no spell checker on this thing.:D

Whether you think you can or can't
either way you're right!

Yes there is ;) next to the POST button :)

I've been aware of "The Secret" for quite a while, I see it as a variatiuon on the power of self affirmations. Positive self belief, setting things in motion to achieve your goals.
All good basic tenents to live byB|

Even if you want to use your version of his quote, you would still need to change the word 'your' (possessive) to 'you're' (contraction of 'you are').

Hey Ashkit,

You’re right – calling you out on a grammar mistake was a cheap shot and I apologize. Ironic, really, as I’m not exactly a spelling meister myself. Didn’t have time to post a long response this morning, but that doesn’t excuse my taking a cheap shot so again, my apologies.

What I was reacting to was how offensive I find “The Secret,” particularly the way it is marketed. Can anyone argue with living an ethical life, the power of positive thinking, getting back what you put out, or any of the other platitudes supposedly at the base of “The Secret,” “The Forum,” “EST,” Scientology” or any of the other quasi-religious movements? Of course not. But the packaging of The Secret, and what it’s ultimately used to promote, ah, that’s a different story.

The secret uses a “teaser” campaign with religious overtones to promote itself. To quote your first post: “Blessings. Do you get it?” I get that by promoting “The Secret” you’re wittingly or un-wittingly putting a shitload of money in Rhoda Byrne’s pocket. Beyond that, no, it’s presumptuous to assume I want to get “it” – although I pride myself on my ethics – nor do I want your “blessings,” dear.

If you found “The Secret” has helped you, far out, more power to you. I don’t know you, but in general, these programs are designed to appeal to people going through difficult times. If that’s true for you I hope you get through them well, and have many wonderful skydives ahead of you. But please, don’t try to co-opt other readers into the marketing scheme of “The Secret” or, for that matter, Amway.

Best,
Dean

True. But they are rarely MLMs/Network marketing. This particular type of buisness model is similar to perpetual motion machines: In home-spun theory, they seem to be able to work if you dream hard enough. In buisness/science(market saturation/conservation of energy), it's impossible unless you are at the top.

FYI if you read my post you would have read that I am not a die hard "Secret" fan....
I just wanted to see what other people thought about it.. Why everyone brings up amway I'm not sure, the only thing the author is selling is a book, dvd, and one meditation audio, personally, I hope she makes a bundle doing it. And, also, enlightening reading material isn't just for those suffering through hard times, it's also for smart people who are always on the look out to improve themselves in any way possible. I am not stuggling right now, actually I'm doing great, but that won't stop me from bettering myself if the opportunity presents itself. I've been signing my letters blessings long before I read the secret, that my dear dean is from Jesus!
Blessings!;)
