it\u2019s hurting people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Network marketing has one of the <\/span><b>lowest barriers to entry<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of any business

out.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And that\u2019s exactly the problem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because when something costs very little, it\u2019s
