For years now I have watched in disbelief as companies in our industry come and go, with what I call “boy band mentality”, or hollow, trendy, one hit wonders!

While the casualties are heartbreaking to watch, I have always found peace in the unwavering timeless principles of FG XPRESS. Recently, I had the privilege of serving as the President of the MLMIA (Multi Level Marketing International Association) which sounds good, but it felt more like police work. Here are the four stages that I observed, that I call MLM Groundhog Day:

• Phase1–CreativeStage

This is when a company opens its doors and everyone is so excited they can hardlysleep... honeymoon! Create! Create! Create!

• Phase2–Blame,Credit,Victim

This is when revenues flat line or fall, and everyone is blaming each other and no oneis taking responsibility. People are looking for backdoors! Fear and scarcity set in.

• Phase3–HEAVYHANDEDPoliciesandProcedures

The company now begins promoting all the things YOU CAN’T DO.Sadly, what we resist persists.

• Phase4–HeartBreakandLitigation

Yet another crushing blow to our industry which leads to more casualties, and less credibility.

So consciously we designed FG XPRESS to have a vision bigger than all of us. So that none of us could get in the way. Our pledge to each other is PHASE 1 FOREVER!!! Create! Create! Create!

WelcomeHome.

home and a home is what we make it...together!

company “told the truth.” See for yourself.

8.Wehonorquality. Quality always prevails. The days of “What’s your product? What’s your comp

plan?” are over, putting an end to MLM cage fighting. The new movement chases quality and character first.

9.Wehonorgoodintention. We honor your word as well as ours. While Policies and Procedures are

designed to protect the integrity of your business, as well as ours; we honor and value intent before the application of Policies and Procedures. We not only honor, but we praise good will.
