THE TRUTH BEHIND NETWORKING COMPANY


There is this colleague of mine back in highschool which I oftenly seen making statuses on Facebook. She recently joined a networking company and since then she would usually post stories from rags to riches doing the networking business.

This kind of company are booming back in home country. Most people I know are dreaming to be an instant millionaire by doing the scheme. This networking is of coarse is not free, just like real business they need some starting capital which for a typical pinoy is a big money.

The promise that this capital will return back to you and will completely change your life is the hope that most newly joiners are taking a bite. This is a big risk. Don't worry you wouldn't feel you have made a bad choice (on this first stage o scheme) as you will receive some products which if you have successfully sold out will return all your money back. Good luck!

In my experience before I was been invited by a so called business venture which turned out to be a car show. They are wide awake at night persuading people why you must not decline their offer. They will do everything to get to your head and say YES! They are pretty much well trained and manipulative.

Most people are blind sided on the reality of this business. They have their own level of achievement per classess or team. The more you recruit the more you earn money. The more people under your name, the more cash will direct to your bank account. The reality is the one who created the whole business is maybe outside the country enjoying his champagne and sleeping like a baby. You can think that even he is sleeping he is still earning a lot of cash because of your hard work. You are their money maker machine.

I remember the statement of Dan Kennedy:

"You are just a cog in someone's wheel."

Yes, you can probably earn money on this but this will NOT provide you a sudden pivotal change for you to be financialy free.

The real truth on the way to being rich is to create an idea and solve problem. Ideas are limitless, this is where the money comes from. You just need to create an idea that will solve problem which people are willing to pay in exhange of that idea. The bigger problem you solve the bigger you would get in return.

Do not throw your hardwork and aspiration into a wrong investment. If you have that great idea, take a risk on that and sell it in the market. Most succesful people solve problems in the oppossite way. Dream to be an "outliers" someday.

OUT OF ORDINARY



Monday is the usual start of the day back in my home country, Philippines. Most people woke up early to avoid the congestion and peak hours for commuters. While here in Dubai, Monday is considered as Tuesday. The week starts from Sunday from the gregorian calendar.

I was 5 mins late due to the usual routine of checking first my phone and answering some few question on Quora. And then, after my eyes are fully awake, I'll grab the bathroom towel and head inside the bathroom. Afterwards, I'll do the normal wardrobe change, take some nice thing to wear, grab my packed lunch and then I'm out.

After some few walks, I'm almost inside the metro which will direct me to Business Bay Station. In the middle of  my commute I'll take out my phone to check some app like Business Insider, Entrepreneur and lastly continue my reading. I started reading the book of Malcolm Gladwell, I was referred to his great book by one of my close friend entitled the 'Outliers'.

Outliers - After reading quite few pages I was amazed by the way gladwell struck me on what to put inside my mind. A different point of view which is in a non linear way, the opposite of the usual response. He knows how to entertain his/her readers and take you to another side of the world. The book outliers is intended for people who do things that are out of ordinary.

The reason behind sucessful people and what is the difference you do from them. Have you start asking yourself, why you are not yet successful? Maybe, all the hard work you are saving is being thrown in a wrong pathway and you are being blind sided by the our culture.
