An Eye-opening documentary that dispels the myths of network marketing
peaceforallserene14 December 2014
An exciting, stimulating and educational and informative documentary with real testimonies and statistics regarding the world of networking marketing, the linear model of working. Also facts that are changing the course of this Profession of Network Marketing in very positive and encouraging ways. The educational aspect of this documentary has made it so much easier for me to share with others who never really had a correct understanding of the networking marketing business.

This documentary encourages and reinforces that we are in the right field for success in helping ourselves and many others who have lost hope in their dreams for financial success!!

Interesting Documentary With Statistics and Interviews Opening Up a Growing Industry
ondey9 April 2015
Warning: Spoilers
A very well written and fast paced documentary that helps to peel back the rougher edges of a booming industry. Eric Worre goes on the journey with the audience to unwrap the topic of Rising Entrepreneurs. This however did focus on one particular industry which may come across as biased. However, the industry he focused on is truly getting massive with a large number of people rising into wealth within it so it was about time it was given coverage the way it was. With interesting statistics that were factually based, interviews with recognized entrepreneurs and enjoyable commentary to smooth out the more complex statements, the content of Rise if the Entrepreneur really was up there. The final factor that gave the film such a high review was its production quality. The lighting, sound and visual quality it made the content truly stand out and lifted the film to a high quality documentary. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend to all.

MLM PItch, not really about entrepreneurism
rjordacid10 June 2015
The first 20 minutes will get you to think about your financial future. yes, building a business is a way to get you to be successful, but then it delves into this MLM pitch as if it's some real way to become "rich".

This is not so true, look at the data - 95% of folks in MLM don't even recoup their investment. This is a huge lie. The amount of effort and time needed to produce results in MLM is HUGE - so much so, you would be better off selling insurance (almost same model).

The movie has stats that are misleading - they down talk Amazon saying they don't offer you commission on recommendations - that's not true. Amazon has an affiliate program that allows you to get paid for sending traffic to products on amazon.

Watch for the motive, leave once they start talking MLM. Not a viable model for the everyday joe.

Life changing!

Simply one of the most incredible experiences you can get for 50 minutes of your time. The knowledge that is showcased is second to none and the iconic names that have associated themselves with this documentary is just outstanding!

This documentary has changed my life for many reasons and I hope it will empower millions of people worldwide to view life in the absolute best way so they appreciate the value of a professional network marketer.

As Eric says, we have a better way, its not perfect, but its definitely better!

Multi-level marketing promotion made to look like a documentary
Wulfpack10 March 2015
The entire thing is put out like a documentary film but it's purely MLM promotional material.

Look at all the accounts that gave this garbage glowing reviews and you'll see they're all within the same number of days back in December from accounts that only have one review - for this "documentary". No doubt the makers are puffing their own score on IMDb.

The first 20 minutes makes it out to be all inspirational but all the so called "entrepreneurs" immediately lose all credibility once the multi- level marketing pitch hits you. The worst part is the name dropping. Oh you're a fan of Richard Branson? Saying that definitely gives you more credibility (not).

Skip it & spend your time watching something else.

The Times Are Definitely Changing
lindimootoo21 September 2015
This was a well done, informational, eye opening film on the current state of our employment system. It gives hope and empowers those who are dissatisfied with their current jobs, income, or quality of life.

For those exemplary employees who do most of the work for a boss that gets most of the credit and a fatter paycheck, it will probably inspire them to use their already established work ethic and money-making talents in a way that gives them ALL the profits generated by their own hard work. For those who don't feel secure in their current jobs...it will give them a viable Plan B.

In this documentary the comparisons of traditional vs. non traditional methods of generating income for our families is valuable information to consider before entering the "student loan/college/job" system...it's just not like it used to be...or how many of us envisioned it.

"The times, they are a changin'".

Game Changer: Push Play and Rise Up!
joinjimnow17 December 2014
Finally! Eric Worre has made the most educational documentary film on entrepreneurship and network marketing that I have ever seen! A film that explains with no hype, just plain facts, current conditions, and exactly what Network Marketing is. After 30 years as a network marketing professional, I myself have a hard time answering some of the most common misunderstood questions and even false opinions from uneducated people who really have no idea what the Network Marketing Profession truly is. This documentary makes it easy for myself or anyone to be able to let the 25 world renowned experts do all the explaining and answer the tough questions in a very professional but yet simple way. I now have the perfect tool. I can let the experts help inform and educate in a way that makes sense.

Its very inspiring to hear from world class entrepreneur's who are very motivational.These experts know what it takes to become successful. I am recommending this to everyone I know just have an open mind, push play, you be the judge and watch for yourself! Thanks Eric Worre and Marina Worre for making this, and helping everyone understand what it takes to not only become a successful entrepreneur, but also understand what our profession truly is.

Don't bother watching this garbage!!
dan_the_wildman24 January 2015
Warning: Spoilers
I watched this under the impression that it was a documentary about entrepreneurship and the evolving economic climate. In actual fact, it is just a poorly produced infomercial designed to sign you up to multi-level marketing schemes. It's basically just a bunch of unsubstantial interviews with various sleazy snake oil salesman (and before the network marketing mafia gets the knives out, I know some of them may actually be wealthy and 'successful' and Robert Kiyosaki has sold a lot of books - but that doesn't make them ethical).

I'm not here to argue whether or not network marketing is a scam or a legit business but my issue is that this listing does not really belong on IMDb as it is not a film, documentary, or a TV program. Furthermore, the fact that all the other glowing reviews give it 10/10 indicates that they are probably written by fake profiles or network marketers trying to create more converts in order to increase their so called 'businesses'.

Please sell your AMWAY somewhere else thank you!

Change you mind, change your life!
unlimitedprofits14 December 2014
We have times in our life when we are searching for answers! When I watched this documentary it gave me the confidence that I was on the right track! Hearing from others that are already become successful made all the difference in the world! People need to make decisions based on facts! I wish like other documentaries I see this in high school so I would have to waste so much time! I learn something new every time I watch it! When trying to get others to understand what you are doing and more important why you are doing it easier to get them to watch this documentary! All the experts in this documentary are experts that are successful better to listen to them instead of listening to people that are not! Thank you!

We have choices!
reed-183-66054815 December 2014
This is a first of its kind documentary about today's challenging economy, presenting solid and credible solutions for a person to create a path to financial independence regardless of their background or circumstances. The film's 25 experts, women and men from a cross section of the economy, deliver brilliant and fresh insights to why someone should start a business today and what it takes to succeed. This is an excellent film to share with friends, family and colleagues who are looking to find a better way to provide for their family, improve their overall financial situation and not be dependent on others.
