don't forget. you can successfully built your downline by getting your friends to recruit their friends and relatives. Remember the residuals the manual tells you can come your way when you build your downline out AND down!

Hi Larious!

I have been kinda thinkin' about this subject again and I have to say that there are many for whom Tiki is just a kinda cute " Theme ", for a party or something and beyond that they really couldn't give a rat's ass about Tiki and why should they? There are even those who claim to be into Tiki who are attracted the slick and often not so slick veneer and fail to take the time to look into the mechanisms and history behind this phenom.

Promoting Tiki is cool in the sense that out of the crowd that you may turn on to Tiki, one or two people may form a genuine appreciation for it. This is much easier when you have an established Tiki venue in your town for a point of reference. If your town or surrounding area has had no established Tiki venue for a very long time, chances are that there is little or no history to draw from. Like, " I remember how much my parents loved that place, etc ". In this way all this so-called Tiki stuff is funky and new and often interpreted in a superficial kind of way. To promote Tiki, I stress the point. Do your homework. Know your stuff and those who come into contact with Tiki through you and dig it, will have something to work with.

It really helps if you have good taste and a huge record collection.

Bottom line, Tiki is not for everybody and thank the Great Kahuna! If I saw some shit like Jessica Simpson pushin' Tiki as the new cool, I might get permanently sick.

There is a not so fine line between Tiki and tacky.

Drink up and be somebody!
