Phil Mims
Phil Mims, founder of
Mimsglobal, is one of the most successful examples of
multi-level marketing (MLM) activity. With a background in wholesale
jewelry, Phil started his first
business in 1991. By 1994 he had become one of the top earners in the history of MLM. Having earned (reportedly) over $10,000,000 in just a few years through
Excel Communications, he retired after less than six years of work.
He came out of retirement to enter the current local telephone service boom, and has allegedly started working on his first book, an autobiography based on his rags-to-riches-with-MLM story.
