Questions About MLM/Networking

[testament11]

May pinsan akong buhay na niya ang MLM. They tried to recruit me pero sinasabi ko nalang na may trabaho naman ako, nakatapos ako, engineer ako, at may negosyo ako. Ok na ko doon at least may constant flow ng pera. Ayun, kung ano-anong MLM na ang pinasukan nila at yan pa rin ang gawain nila hanggang ngayon. Naloko pa nga yan sila sa isang MLM nila dahil nilaglag sila ng upline niya.

Gf ko nasa MLM din, pero hindi siya naka-focus sa pag-recruit. Sa sales siya naka-focus and sa nakikita ko ok naman, though I still disagree na nasa MLM siya. Buti nga at part time lang niyang ginagawa.

Oh, isa pa palang ideology ng MLM is Robert Kiyosaki's concepts of networking.

Basta ako, di ako bilib sa MLM. Day job pa rin ang best way to earn money. Easy come, easy go

Robert Kiyosaki... the guy who got rich selling books to people who wanna become rich

These were my thoughts when I read Rich Dad, Poor Dad. It's a dangerous book lalo na kung tanga yung nagbabasa. Some of the advice is insightful, but you really have to filter through a lot of sweeping generalizations.

Sadly, I have the same feeling towards insurance agent. Insurance is a good investment per se but I dislike the way they are selling their products. Para kang tatakutin na may mangyayari sa yo at no matter how much salary you are receiving, they always come up with a calculation that it is not enough to provide you with a good future.

guys, how about IMG Wealth Academy & Truly Rich Club? (pasubali lang kung may member)

I find them MLM-leaning in terms of "recruitment." a lot of my acquiantances have been "preaching" (pun intended) about financial literacy and investments lately and I find it annoying that they suddenly became financial gurus.

yours cordially,
financially illiterate man

TRC isn't an MLM. It doesn't exist on the basis of earning commissions from new recruits. Wala pa atang 300 pesos ang commission mo if you get a friend to register through your online link. Wala ring downline/upline.

Also, people join for the service (StocksUpdate, spiritual guidance, invitations to different talks) and not to get rich. In fact, if you read Bo Sanchez's works, he's very much against quick-rich schemes, though he admits to having joined networking before and says he got nothing out of it.

I also think that your friends who want to spread financial literacy are doing a service to the community. Ang dami daming pilipinong walang alam sa pera. They think time deposits are the best financial instruments in the world. They know nothing about inflation.

If you're so financially literate, then don't spoil their service to others. If you're financially illiterate and still choosing to shun them, then that's your loss. As long as your friends aren't extorting exorbitant amounts of money in exchange for financial advice, and as long as their advice is grounded on solid financial principles, then I don't see what's so wrong with it.

thanks for this insight.

I saw a video wherein Bro. Bo Sanchez was invited as a guest speaker in an MLM's seminar/team-building. but that depends on the agenda, I think it was more of a motivational speech. but then again, he favored those quick-rich schemers supposedly he's against.

as for my acquaintances, one thing I'm happy for them is that it changed their lives. most of them used to be spendthrifts.

IIRC, Bo is good friends with Chinkee Tan, who made a name in the networking scene.

His books don't advise on going into MLMs though - always the stock market and business.

Moving away from excessive spending is the first step towards financial freedom, since it allows you to allot more of your income towards savings and investments. Kudos to your acquaintances.

I was looking at houses today for possible investments and my broker took me to this young (maybe late twenties ) guy's house. Beautiful wife and kids. Nice cars. Nice modern glass asian house. He was very pleasant. Showed us around. No bragging. Just describing the structure of the house and its selling points. My friend who was with me googled his name out of curiosity and there it was: He was a downline of an MLM company. Not the owner But one of their hardest working recruiters. He makes serious f*&&$/ money. Was selling his place for P40m (the going rate). I guess he was upgrading. House wasnt to my taste but Anyway When we looked in the bedroom the wife literally had a closet full of Hermes Berkin bags. The contents of that closet alone can buy a condo in BGC.

Anyway good for them. He seems driven. In the google information he started from very humble beginnings. Well He is certainly moving way up in the world. MLM isnt for me but for those who are Alpha-type sales folks, i can see that it can really lift them up into stratospheric heights.

Sali ka sa bilib ka sa produkto...para kahit di ka mag recruit, ikuwento mo lang yung effect sayo ng products (kung meron man) sa kakilala mo na bilib din sayo most likely marerecruit mo yun...then so on.


Networking is not for everyone, karamihan ng mga nakilala ko na umasenso diyan iba talaga ang motivation, mga talagang dating mahirap, walang inaatrasan at walang hiya hiya. Desperado na ika nga sa buhay...tapos naging passionate na rin sila sa ginagawa nila dahil sa pera.

Pero kung medyo nakakaginhawa ka sa buhay at alangan ka iwan ang comfort zone mo, di ka uunlad dito..

Lol anong nangyari? Nasapian ka ng ispirito ng MLM. Minsan para sakin MLM parang religion na para sa iba. Kung makaPower! Eh wagas. Amen? amen! Wala namang masama sa kumikitang kabuhayan, pero ang masama yung kung anu-ano sinasabi na di naman totoo or "alamat" para lang kumita.
