Is it direct selling or direct buying?

Many people have a misconception that MLM is direct selling, when in fact, it is direct buying. Let me explain...

Direct selling is like selling cars, insurance, unit trusts and houses. You only get paid 100% off your own efforts. And the day you stop selling or working in your job, the income stops. That's direct selling of products or of your time.

Direct buying is simply showing others why you have a better product or service that people can save money buying direct, and getting paid off the efforts of teaching others also how to promote and recommend the products you have.

Today after 8 years with Unicity, my income is 10% my own efforts and 90% off the efforts of others I have spent time teaching and training years ago. In MLM, while you learn some new leadership, organising and coaching skills , you also can earn. Unicity is life's university.

Robert Kiyosaki pointed it out correctly when he came out with the Cashflow Quadrant. You only can earn money 4 ways -

a) being Employed or being self employed - where your income is limited by the hours you can invest everyday or

b) owning a big Business or being an Investor - where your income is unlimited and not dependant on you showing up or opening your doors for business.

So most people jump from being Employed to being Self Employed, when in fact they should get into a big business like MLM.

Maybe you have had some bad experiences with untrained or amateur MLMers before or joined a scam disguised as MLM. But the truth is that MLM is the best way to start a big business, with sweat capital, without the risk of losing your money capital.

With a Franchised system offered by MLM, and all the senior partners helping you to success, the only way to fail is if you quit.

If you are already in a genuine MLM,, with real products that has real customers, never ever quit. If you are considering a change in career, or something that can give you some new skills, a new social network, some free holidays yearly, or a chance to be a big wheel and be of significance, then do your due diligence and ask me more.

There are only 3 important things in life, everyone wants

a) someone to love and be loved in return.
b) to do something you have passion about, that can make a difference in others and
c) something to look forward to.

Is it time to move from success to significance in your life?
