I joined EN couple of months ago, get all-in and checked that out very deeply.
After that period of time I discovered very cool tactics and strategies. Some of them are FREE, the other paid.
As you see I still didn't quit so I have to say it works but you really need to work.
In the end of the day, it's not only about Empower but all business opportunities where you need to put some effort.
In fact, when you are in good team like Prosperity Team where they give you trainings every day there's really no room for error.
Believe me or not, but joining any online biz such as Empower Network is better than sitting on the couch and watching telly.
It's up to you my friend but I think it can improve your skills, anyway. So you have nothing to loose.
