» di_hill - network marketing
I am sure network marketing is not for everyone. I am not a high flying mlmer that has got rich, but I am currently working to achieve some (at this point) modest goals.I happen to concur with RoberKiyosakiki who has written about the benefits of network marketing (and he does not include getting rich in his list.
From my point has been the tremendous health benefits of the produnoninoni), the personal development (through attending training and networking and learning), of meeting some wonderful people, and sharing in the success of others. I have had fun, lots of laughs, and am progressing slowly but surely to achieve my goals.
I think many people do think this is get rich quick - and get disappointed. For those that understand, and take time to learn, and set goals, the rewards are there.

In response to message posted by di_hill:Hi there!
It's nice of you to drop by. As we are both aware sometimes money is not everything, nor is it the only benefit. One of my best rewards was the camarederie I had enjoyed with my aunt. We became closer to her. Also seeing my husband so goal-oriented and so focused was certainly very endearing. Good luck to your endeavors! And may you reap many rewards financially and spiritually.

Hi,I was just surfing and I came upon your article. I found it humorous because I am a filipino as well. Youre right filipinos are avid MLMers. I for one am one. I would just like to say that aside from making money (which I am doing right now with my company) I have also learned so many valuable things in this business, like perseverance (it wasnt an easy start for me), building relationships, and I learned how to sell.
For years I dreaded this word. It rang a negative sound to my ears. But like any skill it can be learned, and if one puts in his time, one can get good at it. And when you get good at it, I think thats when the money starts to come in.
Maybe, one of the reason why a lot of people fail or get disillusioned with MLM is because they quit too soon. Its like any type of business that you put up. You have to put in the time. Trainings are also a must. Before I earned my first dollar, I put in about one and a half months in training. Now I am reaping what I sowed.
The nice thing about it is I am earning in dollars and I am living in the Philippines.
cheers,
Jesse

» Digdiz - M.L.M.
Of about 10 friends and relatives I know of who are in or have been in M.L.M., none have done very well. After sitting through a Nu-Skin presentation, it then dawned on me that most of these schemes are hatched in Utah, and have very slick methods. I don't want to seem bigoted but the Mormons in Utah are very smart. They can sell their religion to the "brown" people around the world easily when they're in need. The same with these products... moving up the money ladder is like moving up the religious ladder except the ones who benefit are those in Utah pulling the strings. If I hear of any proposition having any tie to Mormons or Utah, I run in the opposite direction, and I suggest you do too.-- posted by Digdiz

In response to re: Network Marketing posted by ishigaki62:As you can see, I'm not hiding who I am. I would be interested in speaking to you (or anyone else Filipino) about MLM. I'm interested in opening an established MLM Company in the Philipines. Please contact me at DaveHull@verizon.net, if you know of someone that might know the Filipino market well, who might be interested. Thanks
