Sad Sad People who get taken in by this MLM crap are really sad
people. It is only the people at the top who are doing any good. One of my ex-friends got sucked into Amway. Thought she was going
to be a millionaire in 6 months. Sad really I couldn't stand all the preaching and it ended a good friendship because I was not
prepared to take the insults of being told that I am a negative thinker and as such will end up an under-achiever. She still has not
got her big house or her Mercedes and if the truth be known probably could not afford to buy a new bicycle. Anyone who approaches you with one of these schemes my advice is to answer in two words. One beginning with F and the other beginning with O. Sad Sad Sad

Erm.... in MLM, for every item you sell, a portion of the sale proceeds goes to the people 'above' you who recruited you. Hence its better for you to recruit people to sell, than to sell the product itself - when people sign up under you, you get a cut from their sales even when you sell nothing yourself.

Essentially, something is wrong when more effort is spend on getting people to sell the product, than to sell the product itself. Even the act of signing up profits the people at the top when you pay joining fees and buy supplies to sell to others.

Unless you got in at the very beginning, it is pretty likely that your efforts will only end up profiting others much more than yourself.

Fundamentally, all of us who has a job is making someone rich at the top. After working for a couple of years in a huge company I also come to realise that each person employed has a tag on them meaning each one will need to be justified for their existence & mind you each one of us help make our bosses a few times richer.

Robert Kiyosaki is a millionaire, his books are top sellers & New York Times have commented that anyone who wants to achieve fianancial freedom have to read his first book Rich Dad Poor Dad.
Basically, people aer poor because they choose to be poor.

The choice lies in our hands mate.

Many Singaporean have wrong perception and wrong understanding on Network Marketing. I am a network Marketeer, and I am doing fine. Network Marketing is about sharing and care. Success only come upon success of your downline.

For candleshoes, it seems that your friend do not understand MLM, and give it a bad name. For new networker, advice is to read more books on MLM while you start. You can get it from Golden Shoe Complex book store.

Network Marketing do not promise quick return of money!

Network Marketing do not promise you a millionaire!

It all depends on individual, its the same with all other profession. Some make it in property, some dont. Some make it in Insurance, some dont.

That's what 90% of all Singaporeans are doing working hard so that their bosses can achieve their dreams.

isn't this true? we spend 8 hrs a day 5 to 5 and 1/2 days a week working our butts off to pay for our bills so that our bosses can drive around in their flashy cars and stay in their condos.

If you stop to think for a minute and take a rain check, do you really love doing that, and beleive that working hard for yourself to enjoy is just that?

Hello smart mlm,

You're right! In the US more than 20% of millionaires made it with MLM & I'm sure it'll be the same here in Singapore. Basically, we've been educated to believe that mlm is illegal. The truth is, we all need to be re-educated to understand how this business can bring great achievements. Even NUSS wrote about MLM. In time to come I'm sure we'll MLM as a course inthe U like all other U's overseas.
Do you want the China market?

Everywhere we go or whatever organization we can see and work for, be it the government, it is still a pyramid shape organization.
One boss at the top, two GMs, four managers, eight supervisors, 16 workers.
Sounds familiar? Twisted Evil

We are all working for others to enjoy but in what way can we improve that?
If you still haven't found out the answer yet then you are just another guy being educated to fear been a failure!

Ideology, we are all in false consciousness. To desire to break out of this indoctrinated ideology is but another form of ideology.
