*lifepath Complaints* Can You Make Money With Lifepath Unlimited?

If you've been doing your due diligence on LifePath Unlimited you already know there's a lot of noise online, a lot of hype and misinformation going both ways.

Some of the articles you read are screaming "LifePath Scam!", while the other half make it sound like God's gift to humanity. There are a lot of complaints about Life Path, particularly from new distributors who didn't get the training or coaching they needed. And then you'll read glowing LifePath reviews from veteran up-liners.

So how do you remove all the crap and just get the truth?

My goal is to cut through all that nonsense and just give you the straight facts about LifePath Unlimited, so that you can make an educated business decision for yourself.

No matter what business you're looking at - online or brick-and-mortar - you owe it to yourself to get all the facts up-front. Start up costs. Monthly costs. Training. Coaching. Systems.

And you should have a crystal clear idea of exactly what you'll need to do in order to build a successful business in terms of marketing strategies & techniques. We're not talking about theoretical fluff or "rah-rah" motivation. I'm talking about concrete, specific action steps that you can take every single day.

Here's a simple detailed breakdown of exactly what you can expect with LifePath, so you can decide for yourself whether or not it's a good fit for you.

The first thing you want to understand is that before you can earn commissions from promoting Life Path, you first have to buy the products yourself, and there's 3 products: Discovery, Breakthrough, and Destiny.

Discovery is a home study course delivered to your house. It comes with a journal, a workbook, and audio CDs. It also includes a 45 minute DVD which is like an introductory promotional movie. The cost on that is $1,695.

Breakthrough is a 3 day conference that will cost you $8,995. For that you get to attend seminars, listen to motivational speakers, and participate in various mind/body exercises leading up to the headline event, which is a fire-walk.

Destiny is a 5 day conference with live events and self development training, and it culminatesin a big costume party. For all that, they want you to pay $14,995.

While you aren't required to purchase all 3 products up-front,if you want to earn the commission you have to fork over the dough. So, realistically, you're looking at an initial investment of $25,685 to get started with LifePath Unlimited.

On top of that there will be a marketing budget and training platform.

$26K is a hefty price-tag, and here's the question: "What do I actually get for spending all that money?"

According to the LifePath website, by joining their program, you're getting access to top level personal development strategies and prosperity coaches that will help you really enhanceyour life.

I'm all for personal developmentand workingto bcome your best self. And many of the panelists who show up at the LifePath Conferences seem quite energetic and a lot of fun to be around.

But do your homework and you realize that none of the top names in personal development are involved with LifePath Unlimited. Not the ones trusted by Fortuine 100 companies, guys like Jack Canfield or Marc Victor Hanson.

Fact of the matter is this: I can go to a live 4-Day Tony Robbins event (including coursework, CDs, and the whole fire-walk experience) for only $600. So let's compare 4 days live with the number one reigning personal development guru of our time, Tony Robbins, for $600, versus a 5 day conference with lesser-known speakers for $15,000.

The bottom line here is that if you're looking for top quality personal development, you can get far superior training, products and services, for a lot less money.

So when it comes to LifePath at $26K, you have to ask: why the big mark-up?

And the answer is simple. That's how LifePath pays out their commissions.

If you were to purchase their products for $26K, 60% of your money would go directly to your sponsor as commissions. In other words, it's a bloated price-tag to pay the distributor, and the actual product itself is not worth anything near what you pay for it.

So let's just tell the truth. LifePath Unlimited is essentially a business opportunity to sell a business opportunity. And I'm not saying there's anything wrong with that. Certainly some people do okay in that business model.

For me personally, it's important to promote a reasonably priced product that provides real value to my customers and a very lucrative money making opportunity for myself and my team.

High price and inflated value aside, the biggest problemwith LifePath Unlimited is the lack of online marketing savvy. They're still in the Ice Age when it comes to advanced online marketing.

They still advide new distributors to buy leads form a lead broker, send prospects to the corporate replicate site, and pitch their "warm" market of friends and family.

It seems as though they aren't even aware of advanced marketing techniques, don't use personal branding, and there's no comprehensive training platform or duplicatable marketing system in place for new reps to learn how to become successful marketers.

The lack of coaching and mentorship regarding online marketing strategies and techniques seems to be the major reason for all the LifePath complaints. And it's a totally legitimate concern. How can you be expected to build a successful business if you don't know how to market effectively and leverage the power of the internet?

At the same time, everyone is responsible for their own decisions, and a little due diligence would have uncovered that info before the seed money was spent. So it's wise to take all the complainers with a grain of salt.

To be perfectly fair, Lifepath Unlimited does not misrepresent itself. There's nothing underhanded going on here. It simply is what it is.

So is LifePath Unlimited a Scam? Absolutely not. This is a legitimate business where some people make money.

But just because there's no Life Path Scam doesn't mean it's the best business for you.

If you're serious about working from home and building a real online business, you can find business opportunities where you can earn a significant income without having to spend take such a huge monetary risk just to get started.

There are sleeker more lucrative opportunities available where you can promote a reasonably priced product with great value and earn a six figure income in a manner that is honest and ethical.

And teh main thing,you can join a mentor who knows how to market effectively online and will teach you the strategies tools and techniques you will need to build your business quickly and efficiently.
