Back to the business opportunity.

I'm starting to feel a little sketched out about it. Why? Well, the company is called World Financial Group, or WFG for short and it's part of Aegon which is a fortune 500 company. The business policy is that you are recruited and once you are recruited you recruit others to join. You don't make money until you recruit others and until they also recruit others of their own.

I didn't see it at first, but now it feels like a pyramid scheme. And I'm not sure how I should go about this because while there are successful people in this company, I almost feel guilty for introducing my friends into this practice. It requires minimal training (licensing from the state) which totals about 30 hours of studying.

Not sure what to do. I've already thrown my money into it, but no one has made money off of me so far.

Sounds like a multi-level marketing business.. if it is based on recruitment then it is probably a binary system and it is destined to fail... My opinion is stay away from it, I've had pretty bad experience with that kind of business model, and also a lot of people I know regretted ever joining one of those..
