Is Life Path Unlimited an Illegal Pyramid?

LPU is a personal development opportunity that began in 2006 with a mission to give entrepreneurs a vehicle to financial independence and personal prosperity.

Life Path Unlimited is a network marketing company, although it is better classified under the Top Tier category of direct sales companies.

The total investment to get involved with LPU at the highest level is $25,955.95 (Not including marketing expenses such as PPC (Pay Per Click), monthly website expenses, and other forms of paid marketing such as newspaper advertisements, banner ads, the list goes on.

Let me note, however, that the price may have changed since the date that this article was published. Take a look at the Life Path Unlimited official website to find current investment requirements.

Are you wondering how much money can you earn with Life Path Unlimited? LPU pays a direct compensation based on organizational sales of up to four levels of distributors, and does not limit your earnings in any other way. The attraction behind Life Path Unlimited is that you can earn up front commissions quickly, and that allows a distributor to potentially earn six figures a year in a very short period of time, unlike traditional MLM where it can take significant time, money, and energy to break past the five figure month.

LPU is not a scam, and is considered a legitimate Top Tier direct sales opportunity in all countries in which it operates.

So should you joi
Life Path Unlimited? That depends on your goals. Personally, I don't like Top Tier companies most of the time. The reaso
I won't get involved isn't because these aren't lucrative businesses. As a matter of fact, you can potentially earn quite a lot of money in Top Tier programs such as LPU.

That being said - you should ask yourself if you really believe in what they are doing or if you're just getting involved to make money. If the product has no value on it's own - can you really justify the business model long term? Personally, I would never pay as much as they ask for what they're providing unless my judgement was clouded with the promise of riches. I don't want any misunderstandings - personal development is a valuable endeavor, and I currently spend in excess of $20k annually on products to develop myself annually - just I get a great deal more value than what LPU provides.

For example, would I rather attend a Life Path Unlimited conference for $14,995, or go to a conference with Tony Robbins? Or maybe I could spend that money on internet marketing courses to market my actual business.

Simply put, I can buy similar quality training programs from other sources at a fraction of the cost, meaning for the same self development budget I can get ten times the training. Sometimes people just get involved in an opportunity because they're blinded by the quick buck - and the product is only there to pass money around a small group of people.

I do believe that the LPU products provide value, it's just that since I wouldn't pay for it myself (as I would rather pay for competing, higher value and less costly products) I simply couldn't justify getting involved with it just to make a buck.

However, do you feel different? If you really believe in Life Path Unlimited, I would encourage you to keep marketing their personal development products, because that says that you feel that the products do have significant value that justifies the cost.
