I heard that this MLM thing is getting popular back in Sabah. What is MLM? It's Multi-Level Marketing. Like Gemilang Mirza. There are a lot of these kind of business popping out quite rampantly.
Why do I want to rant on this? Well, I got some issues with how they are recruiting people to join this type of business.
First, They promise you a lot of stuff. Most of these promises are unfulfillable.
Second, They portray this business as easy and can be done as part-time job which is NOT!
Third, Most of these MLM are actually Pyramid Scheme or skim cepat kaya.
Fourth, They lie.
Ok, I might offend a lot of people who are in this type of business. These people might say that I am sabotaging their business. Ok, just call me sabotaging your business. I don't mind..hehe
I've been to MLM talk a number of times and they all say the same thing. "This is your opportunity to get easy money quickly with less work." It's just a bait. A silly bait yet still a lot of us fall for it. Why? Because of greed!
They do have a very good motivational speech though. A kind of speech that will raise your motivation to be successful in this business. Unfortunately, it's good only as it is, a motivational speech.
But the most dangerous part of this MLM thingy is its system. It's a Pyramid Scheme in disguise. Most of them doesn't empahsize on selling product but on recruiting downline which is what Pyramid Scheme is all about.
So, before you join this MLM business, keep in mind,
- It's not as easy as they say. In fact nothing is easy when it comes to earning money. Unless you go robbing others. (Even robbing is not easy)
- Does the product you're going to sell is consumable or not? Does it has a wide market target? Does it even rely on selling the product for profit?
- You will risk losing friends and family if you are using them (in which most of these MLMers do to spread their business) for your own success. It's not worth it.
- MLM is an unsustainable business. You will run out of downline eventually..
Well, if you are successful in this business, good for you. I pity the people you've ruin to be successful.

MLM is a scheme to take advantage of gullible people. I never bought into the bullshit. There is no such thing as shortcut to success except for people winning 4D lottery! :-P
