Gratitude Training

We should create our own for-profit training program religion.

I could offer a lot of advice on the topic. I have experience in this.

MLMs are of the devil.

This religion should combine multi-level marketing, yoga, veganism, positive visualization techniques. Make it environmentalist, progressive, inclusive, and man you have a money maker.

That's the thing; I can't get any confirmation that the "converted" are making any money. Are they trying to recruit me to validate their opinion that this LGAT is the best thing eva or do they get a kickback?

They aren't telling. Shhhh, it's a secret. I'll find out AFTER I spend thousands.

Thousands of dollars for training who do they think they are? A University?

It's genius, though.

That would be the ultimate MLM win though - tell the converts the truth: “you’re not going to make any money.” I would almost rather deal with that approach. It would keep baskets, makeup, nutrition shakes, etc. from taking over my house. Except for Tupperware- the one great achievement of MLM and there’s no such thing as the Tupperware lady anymore.

The lady in charge is raking it in, that's for sure.

My parents did Amway. We had 5 gallon buckets of LOC everywhere - we used them for everything, even bubble baths.

But yea, tupperware is awesome. The cheap stuff can't touch it.

Tupperware is planning on relaunching in the UK five decades after its first British sales party. But did the brand propel suburban women into the world of entrepreneurship or reinforce stereotypes?

It conjures up an era when throwing a party to sell airtight storage containers was the pinnacle of a lady's social calendar.

Think Tupperware, and the associations are of a retro, pre-feminist world in which housewives briefly put aside their aprons to discuss the best way to store their husband's dinner ingredients.

To its critics, the brand symbolises an era in which female lives revolved around domestic drudgery.

But to its latter-day enthusiasts, it represents a breakthrough by millions of ordinary women into the world of business which left a small but highly significant dent in the glass ceiling.

In 2003, Tupperware parties were axed in Britain with the loss of 1,700 jobs.

Now, however, the company is preparing to re-enter the UK market. Richard Brett of London public relations agency Shine, which has been hired by Tupperware to spearhead its re-launch, believes a crucial component of the Tupperware brand is the role it played in bringing about social change.

"Part of Tupperware's whole story is the way they have empowered women historically, and still do so today all over the world," he says.

Tupperware changed the world...
