Reflections on YOR Health Vegas Conference
Reflections on YOR Health Vegas Conference
The distinguishing feature of YOR Health as an organization is that it deals specifically with products aimed at improving the quality of your life through physical and mental betterment. The wellness philosophy espoused by YOR Health is mirrored in the credentials and stature of its proponents. Tim Brown, a future Hall of Fame college football player, sits on the YOR Health Advisory Board and lauds the products for their preventative health benefits.
The organization’s Advisory Board also showcases many other doctors, both academic and medical. So while there may be an aura of skepticism that is culturally pervasive regarding the MLM landscape, a fair and just recommendation would be to research the company, the products that it offers and the team that supports it prior to rushing into to any decisions regarding its legitimacy or viability.
Following the subjectively successful YOR Vegas conference in August 2009, key members of the YOR Health Advisory Board offered their thoughts and reflections on the overall success of the weekend. In this way, people investigating YOR Health either as an opportunity for gainful employment through the distributorship program, or individuals who are contemplating purchasing YOR Health products for their own wellness or lifestyle improvement are able to get an impression of the key members associated with this rapidly expanding organization.
MLMs are typically viewed with suspicion by the general population. Simple, cursory explorations into an MLM like YOR Health reveal a significant degree of mistrust and animosity. It is rare, however, that these explorations offer anything apart from malcontents who opted-in to a distributorship-styled program and were unable to make the program work for them. In this sense, most of the discontent originates from individuals who opted-into a program that put the onus of success squarely upon the shoulders of the individual, which ultimately led to failure.
This is only significant because it calls into question the issue of causality. Given an organization like YOR Health, should one assume that the model itself is poor, or that the individual who opted-into the model performed poorly? Ultimately, that is a question that cannot be answered without a significant investment of resources; what we do know, however, is that the corporate MLM model has sustained itself across a variety of platforms for a number of decades. As such, it would be short-sighted to cast aside all MLMs as inherently dishonest – one would assume that, if this were the case, the world would have by now sniffed out the truth.
