The Filipino and MLM AffairWe were not successful because we are not salespeople. If you have an inclination for sales, go for it! However, just as any other job, you have to have a passion for it. It took three MLMs for me to realize that, but I think the lesson is worth it. Because, folks, when you join these companies you, will be investing money and a lot of time and energy. And time is money, so that makes it a lot of money. But I felt how it was to dream big. I saw a vision that my family and I could be well-off. Instead of asking “why them?” I began to ask “why not me? Why not us?” I felt how it was to badly want something and go for it. Those were good lessons. Immigrants are easy prey. It is not hard to understand why since their psyche and motivation are geared towards success in their adopted country. But, with anything else, it makes sense to do a little research. Call your local Better Business Bureau. Use the Internet. If they are as big as they claim they are, they must leave trails of information waiting to be found. Most of all, do not buy into everything the recruiter has to say. Some are genuinely representing their company. Some have their own personal motives. Be a little skeptic. Alright, be skeptic a whole lot.
