Why Most People Misjudge the Platform Business Model
Most people judge Life Leadership through the wrong lens. They assume the opportunity should behave like a Bell Curve industry—where almost everyone clusters around the middle and outcomes are predictable.
But many of the careers people admire, pursue, and praise operate on a very different distribution: a Power Curve, where most dabble, some commit, and a tiny top fraction produce extraordinary results. Life Leadership's Platform Business Model is firmly in that category—and that's a good thing.
Bell Curve Industries vs Power Curve Industries
Bell Curve Logic
People rarely criticize Bell Curve professions, despite the fact that almost everyone ends up in the middle—because the Bell Curve feels predictable and familiar. These careers have capped upside, predictable progression, and low variance.
Power Curve Reality
In Power Curve fields, a small percentage earns a massive portion of the rewards. This is not a flaw—it is the nature of exponential systems. The upside is worth the journey.
Bell Curve Industries: Accepted Without Question
These careers have capped upside, predictable progression, and low variance. No one questions them because Bell Curve logic is normalized.
"Don't become a nurse—only a few reach six figures."
"Don't become an engineer—only a few become senior engineers."
"Don't become a teacher—only a few become principals."
People accept that "most people end up average," and no one blames the profession.
Power Curve Industries: Where Almost No One Reaches the Top
In Power Curve fields, a small percentage earns a massive portion of the rewards. This is not a flaw—it is the nature of exponential systems.
Yet No One Questions Power Curve Professions
"Don't start a YouTube channel—almost no one succeeds."
"Don't try to go pro—only a few ever make it."
"Don't start a business—most fail."
People Understand: The Upside Is Worth the Journey
That is Power Curve logic. And Life Leadership—not unlike sports, YouTube, real estate, or entrepreneurship—operates on the same curve.
Pipelines, Not Buckets
Inc Magazine Top Leadership and Management Experts Chris Brady & Orrin Woodward emphasize that real wealth comes from pipelines, not buckets.
Bell Curve = Bucket Thinking
  • Work → Get Paid
  • Stop Working → Income Stops
Power Curve = Pipeline Building
  • Build → Scale → Duplicate
  • Leverage → Lead → Multiply
The Royal Starfish: A Pipeline Business
The Royal Starfish powered by Life Leadership is structurally a pipeline business, exactly the wealth pattern Brady & Woodward teach.

TEAM Leadership Development: The Real Source of the Power Curve
TEAM teaches 4 stages, with Stage 4 being the economic accelerator that drives exponential income growth.

A Leadership Development Business Model
Life Leadership's compensation plan is built specifically to reward Stage 4: Developing Leaders. This is NOT a simple sales role—it is a leadership development business model, and the income reflects that.

Other Professions Have Higher Failure Rates
For committed, qualified members, average earnings are ~$331/mo ($3,976/yr). Yet when Life Leadership/Royal Starfish shows similar early drop-off patterns, critics blame the model—not the behavior.

TEAM wisdom puts it plainly: People quit everything too early—don't confuse quitting with failure.
The Core Argument
Life Leadership/Royal Starfish isn't a Bell Curve job—it's a Power Curve opportunity
Just like sports, YouTube, entrepreneurship, sales, or writing—you don't get paid for signing up. You get paid for building something.
