I don't like people making money from my efforts!
Short answer - "Well you'd better get used to it, because that's what happens in any job!"
Long answer - That's fully understandable. We don't appreciate working really hard and not being rewarded for our efforts, only to see some bone idle colleague being paid more than us. Neither do we like the fact that our boss works the same hours as us and gets paid twice as much. That's why conventional jobs are sometimes so unfair - because people get paid unfairly. In a fair business, money should be paid out to employees exactly according to the work they have put in, so that someone who brings great value to the company always gets paid more than someone who has put in no effort whatsoever.
Now that's in an ideal world. Of course, in the real world, businesses exist to survive and (hopefully) make money, so no company is going to pay you for working hard and getting no results. However, in network marketing, we get as close as possible to the 'fair pay' ideal. People get paid for the benefits they create. If they do no work they get no pay, and if they do lots of work, sell lots of products and sign in lots of new distributors, help those new distributors and encourage them, then rightfully they get paid more.
As for the complaint that people in your upline are making more money than you, well in most organisations this is not automatically true. It is entirely possible for someone above you in your organisation to earn far less than you. In a fair compensation scheme you are paid for the work that you have done, as explained above. You want to make sure that your compensation scheme rewards you for the work you have done more than it rewards your upline. Also, in a fair scheme, those people who do the most work should be rewarded the most. Verify this for yourself - don't just take the word of your potential sponsor.
Where can i learn more
You can write to your local direct selling association, or check out one of the many books available on the subject. One such book is From Crawl to Fly which explains some basics about starting the business Make sure you get a balanced selection of sources, and that you don't let other people force you to choose either way.
