HBW
Well gentlemen, I certainly did not intend to open a can of worms when I started this thread.
For years I hated Rev. Al Sharpton because I thought he was a lunatic, race pimp, only interested in promoting himself. I've seen him recently with Sean Hannity (or someone) and Sharpton said "we can disagree without being disagreeable". My hats off to Sharpton for that and I have a degree of respect for him now. Maybe many of us can agree to disagree about HBW (or whatever). But let's help each other along the way, offer encouragement, and be tolerant of different viewpoints.
What interested me about HBW was that I can offer new agents the same opportunity that I have without harming myself, I can have the opportunity to mentor younger people, and if I build it right with proper systems in place then I have a valuable saleable asset.
Is it MLM, I don't think you can deny that. Are all MLM's bad? No. But I think the opportunity something like this provides beats the pants off the good old boys club where I had to go to the right university, have an uncle/dad retiring from his State Farm/NYL/MM/Guardian/Northwestern Mutual agency in order for me to get my foot in the door and build something.
The fact is most independent businessmen don't own a business, they own a job. They quit or get sick and the money quits. I need something that dosen't quit when I do.
