Is Life Path Unlimited Right For You? Everything You Need To Know

By: Will Schwartz


If you've been doing your due diligence on LifePath Unlimited you already know there's a lot of noise online, a lot of hype and misinformation going both ways.

Half the articles you read are screaming "LifePath Scam!", while the other half make it sound like God's gift to humanity. There are a lot of complaints about Life Path, particularly from new distributors who didn't get the training or coaching they needed. And then you'll see glowing LifePath reviews from veteran up-liners.

So how do you move past all the BS and just get the truth?

My goal is to cut through all that nonsense and just give you the straight facts about LifePath Unlimited, so that you can make an educated business decision for yourself.

Prior to making a commitment to any business - online or brick-and-mortar - you owe it to yourself to get all the facts up-front. Start up costs. Monthly costs. Training. Mentoring. Systems.

It's your right to get a crystal clear idea of exactly what you'll need to do in order to build a successful business in terms of marketing strategies & techniques. Not theoretical fluff or "rah-rah" motivation. I'm talking about detailed, concrete action steps that you can take every single day.

So let's examine this business model and do a breakdown of exactly what you can expect with LifePath, so you can decide for yourself whether or not it's a good fit for you.

The first thing you want to understand is that before you can earn commissions from promoting Life Path, you first have to buy the products yourself, and there's 3 products: Discovery, Breakthrough, and Destiny.

Discovery is a home study course they ship to your house. It comes with a workbook, a journal, and audio CDs. It also includes a 45 minute DVD which is like an introductory promotional movie. The price tag on that is $1,695.

Breakthrough is a 3 day conference that will cost you $8,995. There you get to attend seminars, listen to motivational speakers, and take part in various mind/body exercises leading up to the main event, which is a fire-walk.

Destiny is a 5 day conference with live events and self development training, and it culminatesin a big costume party. For all that, they want you to pay $14,995.

While you aren't required to purchase all 3 products up-front,if you want to earn the commission you have to fork over the dough. So, realistically, you're looking at an initial investment of $25,685 to get started with LifePath Unlimited.

And that's not including a marketing budget and training platform.

$26K is a hefty price-tag, and here's the question: "What do I actually get for spending all that money?"

The basic LifePath pitch is that by joining their program, you're getting access to elite personal development strategies and mentors that will help you achieve a real breakthrough in your life.

Now, I'm all for personal developmentand community-building amongst like-minded people. And many of the panelists who show up at the LifePath Conferences seem to be very energetic and fun to be around.

But if you do your research you'll see that none of the truly elite names in personal development are involved with LifePath Unlimited. Not the ones trusted by Fortuine 100 companies, guys like Jack Canfield or Marc Victor Hanson.

And here's the thing. I can go to a live 4-Day Tony Robbins event (including coursework, CDs, and the whole fire-walk experience) for only $600. I mean, compare 4 days live with the number one reigning personal development guru of our time, Tony Robbins, for $600, versus a 5 day conference with lesser-known speakers for $15,000.

The bottom line here is that if you're looking for elite personal development, you can get far superior training, products and services, for a lot less money.

So when it comes to LifePath at $26K, you have to ask: why the big mark-up?

And the answer is simple. That's how LifePath pays out their commissions.

If you were to fork out $26K for the 3 products, 60% of your money would go directly to your sponsor in the form of commissions. In other words, it's a bloated price-tag to pay the distributor, and the product itself is not worth anything near what you pay for it.

So let's be completely up-front. LifePath Unlimited is basically a business opportunity to sell a business opportunity. And I'm not saying that's wrong. Certainly some people do fairly well in that business model.

But for me personally, it's important to be involved with a reasonably priced product that provides real value to my customers and a very lucrative money making opportunity for myself and my team.

Price-tag notwithstanding, the biggest flaw with LifePath Unlimited is the lack of online marketing savvy. This is an old fashioned company that doesn't embrace cutting edge marketing techniques.

They still expect new distributors to buy leads form a lead broker, send prospects to the corporate replicate site, and pitch their "warm" market of friends and family.

They're not familiar with advanced marketing techniques, don't use personal branding, and there's no comprehensive training platform or duplicatable marketing system in place for "newbies" to learn how to become successful marketers.

The lack of coaching and mentorship regarding online marketing strategies and techniques seems to be the major reason for all the LifePath complaints. And it's a totally legitimate concern. How is a new distributor expected to build a successful business if you don't know how to market effectively and leverage the power of automated systems?

It's also true that everyone is responsible for their own decisions, and a little due diligence would have uncovered that info before the seed money was spent. So it's wise to take all the complainers with a grain of salt.

My research shows that Lifepath Unlimited does not misrepresent itself. There's nothing underhanded going on here. It simply is what it is.

So is LifePath Unlimited a Scam? Absolutely not. It's a legitimate business where some people make money.

But just because there's no Life Path Scam doesn't mean it's the appropriate business for you.

If you're committed to working from home and building a real online business, you can find business opportunities where you can earn a significant income without having to spend take such a huge monetary risk just to get started.

There are sleeker more lucrative opportunities available where you can market a reasonably priced product with excellent value and earn a six figure income in a manner that is honest and ethical.

In addition, you can join a mentor who knows how to market effectively online and will teach you the strategies tools and techniques you will need to build your business quickly and efficiently.
