      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi I think the definition of 'rich' varies from ppl to ppl.
There are some full-time housewives who are very satisifed&amp;nbsp;to
earn $500 extra/mth just for their kids education.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To me being able to retire early does not mean earning $1mil/
mth,&amp;nbsp; having a stable and longstanding income of $4k/mth will
do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And I do not have to follow others' schedules, i can do what i
want. I can bring my kids to/fro school, be with them on every
wkends and holidays. Able to bring my parents out. All this can be
done&amp;nbsp;anytime and most imptly, my income is stable and
longstanding.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I'm not looking at a life of a millionaire, in fact this grp of
ppl also hv their own problems too....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Product is one thing, service is another. I would like to ask
Enyouth ppl why do they use trickery. That's the impression I've
had of them. From personal experience and from ppl I know, and read
about. You don't tend to hear ppl being tricked down. Its always
the same few companies, yes, especially EY.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also it's ok to say u MIGHT earn big,. BUT once they say u would
be "rich", able to "retire early", etc... then something is
wrong.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Hi i&amp;nbsp;agree that MLM concepts are very effective and its
helps the poor to earn a bit of income without any risk in a smart
way.&amp;nbsp;But not everyone can be a millionaire as it still require
certain amount of hard work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The main problem I found&amp;nbsp;in MLM is that&amp;nbsp;the compaines
do not have a dedicated team to show&amp;nbsp;you how to
make&amp;nbsp;their marketing methods work for you, what they do is to
provide their marketing plan and leave it all to their distributors
to create their own methods of acheiving the marketing plan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thus the good ones will always recruit the right way, while the
bad ones will recruit the wrong way. That is why you hear about the
success and unsuccess stories. All these will cast many doubts to
the newbies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Recently I have came across this website &lt;a href=
"http://www.syh75.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;www.syh75.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;which
I think&amp;nbsp;is quite&amp;nbsp;good as it shows how we can create our
forutne step-by-step. It gives you the confidence that it will
works for everyone as long as you believe in yourself. Same as in
whatever we do, you will succeed only if you believe.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Well, my philosophy abt mlm...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Product must be very good and impressive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ppl tend to join upline(the ppl) rather than a co. ( Not a bad
thing if u r gd but ur co. repu is bad )&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Door to door sales is not wrong or 'low-class' . More rejection
but its not wrong or demeaning...&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;guys... i might seem to be an anti-mlmer here, however.. i am
actually quite supportive of this system&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;why?&lt;br /&gt;
1) this is exactly like a business venture.. you need to seek
business associates and partners and even more workers to work for
u, to sell your product..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) you wont lose any money in this business&amp;nbsp;venture.. only
your time is involved... so no mattter how much u lose , you wont
lose any money&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) MLMs could help you gain success quickly in a certain
extent..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4) no qualifications involved&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5) so on and so forth...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;yes indeed the entire concept of an mlm is very good... but
only&amp;nbsp;to a certain extent&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;questions to answer to your self when&amp;nbsp;you join an mlm&lt;br /&gt;
1) how&amp;nbsp;unique&amp;nbsp;are your products?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2) the reputation of your mlm&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3) has your upline ever tricked you before&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4) is&amp;nbsp;your upline trust worthy?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5) &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;do they coers you to
buy any items?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;6) are they more product oriented
or recruitement oriented?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;personally, most mlms i went to would usually tell you their
marketting plans first, how sucessful you will be, driving a s200
in 18... then introduce their products to you... after which ask
you to &lt;span style="color: #ff0000;"&gt;buy one for yourself to
try.&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;however the main aim of the mlm is to not let its entrepreneurs
get any risks of losign any money... and yet be successful... many
mlms break this rule already.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;they are more towards recruting more members, instead of selling
their products...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All compensation plans of the mlms would always be
enticing...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;however, do people wonder.. why do you need to buy a product for
yourself to proove that its working? if a product is really that
good , you dont need to be coerced in order to buy the product for
yourself... take panadol as an example.. do you get forced by your
boss to eat one pill in order to start selling the product??&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i know that they may claim that they are not forcing you..
however if someone tells you.. u have to sell 1 product before you
can start recruiting people.. and keep tellign you that the way to
go is to keep recruiting people... would you get one?? why not let
you recruit when you are level 1??? thats one of the companies ways
of actually forcing you to buy the product for yourself...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;in this process... you would have already lost money by
"investing" in the product..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;imagine if your upline tricks you down for your own good... do
you really think he really does that for your own good?!?!?! or is
it for his own good?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;when your upline tell you you can actually sell to others other
than your peeers he usually tell you that you go and find people by
yourself... EG, clubbing, pubbing and such...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;do you realise that if you follow his way, your reputation will
stink???&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;they will never tell you to go and knock doors of houses one by
one... why?!?! they claim that they are in the higher class in
society and would not do such things...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;actually you dont do that as you wont have any difference
between a sales man anymore.. knockign doors.. promoting your
product from house to house...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;why they dont let u tell anyone u have been to the company until
you had bought something or given them your personal details???
they are afraid of the external sources who would lead you out of
the darkness..&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;have you been to a legitimate job which does not allow you to
tell others what u work as???&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;i shall write till here this time.. to be comtinued&lt;/p&gt;</description>
