What is Multi Level Marketing (MLM), Can you Really Work at Home?
Multi Level Marketing is a simple business model based both on franchising as well as direct marketing. In this kind of model the buyer and seller have an independent contract. The sellers profit from their sales as well as the number of people they bring into the system.

Where the hero will achieve synergy (at the stage of the Ultimate Boon), the anti-hero will achieve alienation. Where the hero’s allies will come to his aid, the anti-hero’s allies will betray. Where the hero’s gain is tangible and prized, the anti-hero’s gain is dubious (Scarface, 1983).

Heroine's Journey

It is a mistake to believe that the Heroine's Journey is separate and distinct from the Hero's Journey.

The Journey is about transition (The Road of Trials), illumination (Apotheosis), movement from one conscious state to another, overcoming challenge etc – these are not gender (or culturally) specific:

The Hero’s Journey is the template upon which the vast majority of successful stories and Hollywood blockbusters are based upon. Understanding this template is a priority for story or screenwriters.

The Hero’s Journey:

• Attempts to tap into unconscious expectations the audience has regarding what a story is and how it should be told.

• Gives the writer more structural elements than simply three or four acts, plot points, mid point and so on.

• Interpreted metaphorically, laterally and symbolically, allows an infinite number of varied stories to be created.

The Hero's Journey is also a study of repeating patterns in successful stories and screenplays. It is compelling that screenwriters have a higher probability of producing quality work when they mirror the recurring patterns found in successful screenplays.

Consider this:

• Titanic (1997) grossed over $600,000,000 – uses the Hero's Journey as a template.

• Star Wars (1977) grossed over $460,000,000 - uses the Hero's Journey as a template.

• Shrek 2 (2004) grossed over $436,000,000 - uses the Hero's Journey as a template.

• ET (1982) grossed over $434,000,000 - uses the Hero's Journey as a template.

• Spiderman (2002) grossed over $432,000,000 - uses the Hero's Journey as a template.

• Out of Africa (1985), Terms of Endearment (1983), Dances with Wolves (1990), Gladiator (2000) – All Academy Award Winners Best Film are based on the Hero's Journey.

• Anti-hero stories (Raging Bull (1980), Goodfellas (1990) etc) are all based on the Hero's Journey.

• Heroine’s Journey stories (Million Dollar Baby (2004), Out of Africa (1980) etc) are all based on the Hero's Journey.

Antiheroes

There are various types of hero: a) the good, willing hero (Star Wars, 1977), b) the good, unwilling hero (Shawshank Redemption, 1994), c) the anti-hero (Raging Bull, 1980), d) the villain (Goodfellas, 1990) etc. Nevertheless, their stories all mirror the hero’s journey template. The difference between hero, anti-hero and other variations simply lies in situation, motivation and result. The antihero is simply an archetype.

Where the hero’s Ordinary World is idyllic (Lord of the Rings, 2003), the anti-hero’s world is uncomfortable and riddled with conflict (Raging Bull, 1980). Where the hero embarks on adventure for altruistic reasons (Willow, 1988), the anti-hero embarks for selfish reasons. Where the hero has good mentors (Lord of the Rings, 2003), the anti-hero has dark mentors (Raging Bull, 1980). Where the hero resists dark temptations, the anti-hero gives in to them (Scarface, 1983). Where the hero may sacrifice himself to prevent harm to others (Superman, 1978), the anti-hero will consciously set out to do harm (Goodfellas, 1990). Where the hero will evolve (during the Transformation or Road of Trials), the anti-hero will regress. Where the hero will achieve synergy (at the stage of the Ultimate Boon), the anti-hero will achieve alienation. Where the hero’s allies will come to his aid, the anti-hero’s allies will betray. Where the hero’s gain is tangible and prized, the anti-hero’s gain is dubious (Scarface, 1983).
