His dream was to travel around the world before he turned 55 to preach the gospel by becoming an evangelist.  Unfortunately, people in the U.S. end up in the 40/40/40 J.O.B. forumula. (40 hours a week for 40 years to retire on 40%)  
Ye says, “I think overwork, under pay, and not much time for our families are the major components of the J.O.B. (just over broke) system.  It doesn’t matter how fast and how far you travel but if you are going to the wrong direction, you will never get to your destination.”

Three Startups That Want To Steal Avon’s Look

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
With the “company for women” struggling, these three startups are hoping to take a big bite of the direct-sales beauty market.
Although a fake takeover bid recently led to a spike in Avon stock, the longtime cosmetics powerhouse built by millions of local “Avon ladies” has been slowly declining. After years as the top global direct sales company, Avon slipped out of that spot in 2014. The company’s revenue declined 20% last year to $8.85 billion, from a peak of $11.1 billion in 2011, and after a lengthy probe into corruption in its China operations, Avon agreed to pay a $135 million settlement.
So, are we looking at the end of the era in which women purchased beauty products from friends and neighbors who sold door-to-door? Not necessarily. There are a number of young, upstart companies that are trying to

Sophie Paris is without a doubt one of the most successful multi-level-marketing companies to hit Indonesia. The fashion, beauty and healthy-living company, headquartered in Jakarta, now has millions of members in Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and Morocco, and it plans to expand to other countries.
