My Dreams

We all have dreams. Remember when we were kids. No dream was too impossible for any kid. Sigh… If only we never faltered and give up on our dreams. Anyway, my dream was to work hard, start a business. Employ all the beggars, people who are poor, bankrupts, people who lost their jobs, people who were oppressed by their colleagues/bosses, the underprivileged etc… together with the help of my family and relatives building a business getting everyone rich and having a happy life. And we will all continue to recruit and help all these ‘poor’ people get rich and healthy. Sooner or later there will be no more poverty, vagrants etc…That is my dream. It’s a really big dream. Therefore I really need lots of help. So if you are willing to step up and join me in my cause, contact me and together we help the world one step at a time. People must remember that there is always hope. There are other people out there, like me, who is willing to help. All you need to do is look. It saddens me when I read about poverty or people give up and taking their lives because they lost hope. Don’t you want to prove your critics, people who oppressed you and people who ridiculed you wrong. You can become successful and rich. Better than them. What’s stopping you? It’s you - yourself. You can take charge of your life and your future. You have the power in you to do it. Why let them control you? You’re not a puppet, their puppet. So get out of their stranglehold and say out loud, “Enough! Enough already! I will take charge of my life now! This very moment!” I too was ridiculed, criticized and look down upon by many. These are the things that I really want to do before I depart from this world. I want to contribute to all mankind before I go…. I really get very passionate when I talk about my dreams. Excuse me for that.

The business is illegal. It’s a scam.

Let me explain how this industry works. Imagine you going shopping at a shop. To get more sales, the shop has a promotion – buy 2 and get 10% discount. Buy 4 and get 15% discount. The more you buy, the more discount you’ll get. Now that work fine for both parties. The shop gets more sales and turn over their stock and you get your groceries at a cheaper price. So if you sell it to someone at full price, you’ll make a profit of 10%, 15%... Now the shop decides that they want to turn over their stocks faster. So they tell you, their regular customer, if you help them get more customers like yourself by recommending your friends to buy from them instead of their competitor, you’ll get a 5% cut of the total purchase price of your friends. To qualify for this eg. 5%, cut you must purchase a certain amount so that you also continue to shop with them. So the more your friends you recommend, the more you’ll earn. So if the shop wants to turn over their stocks even faster, they’ll extend it to your friends’ friends and you’ll get maybe a lower cut of their total sales. So if you want to earn more, you recommend more friends and also help your friend’s friend ….. to buy from the shop. In this scenario, everybody wins. Notice that there is nothing illegal here. Nothing unethical is carried out also. Marketers have realized that this method creates more sales and help them save lots of money on advertising, cutting out the middle man in the distribution channel etc… It’s a brand new marketing method and lots of organizations are catching on and are turning to this sort of marketing strategy. If you don’t know what this strategy is called, then good for you and if you think you know what this strategy is called, good for you too. It comes with many names. Network Marketing, Multilevel Marketing (MLM), Direct Marketing, Direct sales, Home business etc..


Notice that for all these to work, everybody is promoting/selling a product or service. It only becomes a scam when there are no products or services involved. Just joining for a fee and then ‘recruiting’ and getting a cut for it.
