Some interesting "statistics"

[Kevin]

It seems like this 95% figure is yet another rosy, and manipulated image from a business seeking suckers (er, workers) for its pyramid (er, home based) scheme (er, business).

My thoughts on that are that the word succeed means that the business stayed in existence. Not that it turned a profit or even broke even. I'd believe that. If you go through the trouble to start it up you'll stick with it for a year at least before you realize it won't work and it ultimately fails. And if you count some of the part time home business in that figure, where the home business is simply a little side deal like I used to do with building computers for people but was by no means my sole source of income, then yeah those can stick around for years even if you only do 2 jobs a month it's still a home based business. :)


So I agree with you that this looks very much like some fun manipulation to try and convey a picture that while numerically supported is not remotely in line with reality as most people think about it.
