Is this your first time?

Yes! It is indeed my first time to be involved in an MLM business. I used to know some of the well known networking companies, of which some of my relatives are actually part of it. For so many years, I’ve seen my relatives inviting people and encouraging each respondent to buy products and then recruit people again. I’ve also seen checks from their wealthy uplines and that was really big!

I know these MLM companies are legitimate. But just recently I realized, my relatives are not still well off. I hate to say this but they still belong to the “isang kahig, isang tuka” society of ours. And so I started to ask questions about their program. And I knew it, it’s all traditional!

Is MLM the Answer for financial Freedom?

It was 5 years ago when I first enter the corporate world. I actually consider myself lucky and blessed because I was able to know the www. I admit, five years ago I’m nothing but a child that should be fed by my parents.

Now, I can say that I’m no longer a child who still waits for what my mom would give me for dinner. Through perseverance, hard work and faith in God, I can now satisfy my craving for any food that I would like to taste and be able to share it with my family. I was able to buy a car for my dad and a piece of lot for my mom. That’s actually two of the many things I enjoy, now that I have my own work and I’m earning much.

In a span of five years of working just in the Philippines, I was also able to travel in different parts of our country. And just recently, I was able to travel and bring my mom at my own expense to fulfill one of my childhood dreams – to go to the Disneyland! It was really a magical experience that I never imagined would ever happen.

So why am I saying these things? If I were to answer the question, “is MLM the answer to gain financial freedom? My answer would be “NO, it can be but NOT ONLY the answer!” It is just a tool, a program that can help us gain the financial freedom faster and safer.

I just joined USANA Philippines believing that it can help me to achieve my goals at shorter time. We still need to strive more and do our part to become successful in this business. We can all be millionaires but the questions are “how and when”. The answer is just within our hands. And I would be very glad to share the ways how to make it possible thru the www. I would love to share my “unfair advantages” for those who would like to be successful in this industry and hate the traditional way of doing networking.

I have listed the definition and the motivation. Now, let’s start counting the ways on how to achieve it!

This has been posted in many blogs/sites already but my purpose of having the list of the Philippines’ 40 richest people is to actually encourage my readers.

Admit it! Ordinary people like us can’t be in this list. But nothing is impossible to a willing heart. We may not be included in this list in the future but embracing the reality of gaining financial freedom can be achievable if we will act now. Remember, Henry Sy is just a shoe-shine boy before!

Truth About Traditional MLM

At first, multi-level marketing may seems to be a good business opportunity for people especially the consumers. Well, those people who are on top of the network marketing are the ones who will benefit more since they will have numerous leads under them; and those on the bottom will find their own leads to gain.

Why you must not join a networking group that do traditional way?

1. The founders are the ones who will enjoy the passive income, which comes from their down lines hard work and sales. And for the recruited people to go up a level, they need to find their own down lines; and the cycle continues.

2. MLM can be compare with selling “lemon” products. Actually, the actual price of the products involved in networking marketing is not too expensive. But the price is made to be high so that there will be a big portion of the profit that will go to the network chains which contain hundreds or even thousands of referrals.

3. Multi-level marketing can be considered as an act of robbery. This is because the products are being sold much more that it should be.

4. MLM is a worse marketing ever for some people because the method of moving the products is not as transparent as with retailing and direct selling.

5. Persuading a person to join the network can result to mind manipulation. When an MLN person finds people who are not interested, he will use his advanced skill in encouraging to smooth-force the prospect.

What is MLM (Multi-Level Marketing)?

Multi-Level Marketing MLM, also known as Network Marketing, is a kind of marketing strategy of moving the products to consumers. Other terms that describe this kind of method are pyramid/chain selling and consumer direct selling because of the different way goods and services are sold.
