My Daily Roti Kopitiam - MLM for students

Now I read an interesting article on MLMs for students recently on The Star. MLM or Multi-level Marketing is an interesting and very very convincing concept. I'm sure a lot of you might have been approached by MLM-ers to be recruited as part of their team. I'm too lazy to explain how MLMs work but you can try to Wiki it.

    This brings back a lot of memories for me...lol. I was one of the "victims". Now, don't get me wrong but I have nothing against MLMs. I have friends that are involved in MLM companies. But one thing's for sure. Not everybody can be the top dog. I can say about 1 in 15 people that have joined these companies succeeded and not many of them succeeded in an...um....honest way. Along the way, you lose friends and you gain friends. I had a fun time doing MLM and have learnt a lot from the experience while doing it but have decided to stop. There's nothing wrong with MLM companies, my advice is if you wanna do it you can give it a try, in fact many of us found it a great learning experience. Along the way you start to see the true colours of the people around you, you start to see who your true friends really are. Along the way, if you think you can do it then do it the right and ethical way. It's not worth it to sacrifice friendship and relationships for money.
