Whiny... whiner...

"I miss my friend.. You have been too busy that we hardly spend time together lately"... So sweet isn't it?... A friend longing for another friend's attention... So sweet... Why did this other friend ignore this other friend you ask? Let me tell you...

He/she sent me this text message at 1.39 am and I can't get back to sleep until it's 6.30am... Professional? I don't think so! Appropriate? Hardly!... For me this is just an act of a desperate person, aching for attention. He/she is just an office mate, a colleague... why the message in the morning? He/she must be demented...

I have friends too... I have colleagues as well... but I don't go around text messaging them in the middle of the night.. It is higly inappropriate! People are sleeping at that hour!!!! Didn't he/she get it???? You can whine about work... but it has to at the right possible time and appropriate place... I hate it when people wake me up in the middle of the night and whiiiiinnnnneeeeee..... UUUuuuuurrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!...

He/she is not even my special someone!!! People make exceptions for their special ones right... but we're just colleagues... Laahaulawala... OMG... Get over it already...

MLM... continuation...

Hi all...
I think that I am obliged to explain to you more about multi-level marketing. As you all know... it is always in the shape of a pyramid... always a pyramid... not a cube.. not a cylinder.. not a hexagon.. The top management will always get the most income. Hmmmm... Think about it...
Lets look at it this way...
Manufacturers, manufacture products needed or not by consumers... How do you think they supply this goods to the end consumers? They have distributors and suppliers right? How much profit margin do they gain? And... how much does consumers has to pay for the goods in order to cover all the profit margins for the suppliers? Distributors? Manufacturers?
Lets say... a body powder manufacturer sells bottled body powder for RM12 per box. There is a dozen bottles of body powder in the box. A distributor buys 12 boxes for RM144+ lorry fuel+workers wages... How much will the distributor sell the body powder per box to a supplier? He/she might increase the price per box in order to cover the cost incurred during the time of transporting the product to the supplier. Then, the supplier transport and distribute the body powder to retailers and this time they increase the price a bit more to cover the cost of the process; same thing the distributor does... So, consumer won't be supprised when buying a bottle of body powder straight from the manufacturer for the price of RM1 per bottle, whilst from a retail store for the price of maybe RM5 per bottle. It is expected right?
So, lets get back to MLM. What does all these has to do with MLM right? Let me explain... Remember when I say that MLM is a pyramid?

• Guess who is on the tip of the pyramid? Good ;o) the manufacturer ;o)
  


• Whose working so hard at the bottom of the pyramid? Good... the retailers, which is also known as the marketers... Is it easy to market? No right? You have to work hard!!!
  


• Who is sitting comfortably below the manufacturer? Yes.. the distributors..
  


• Below them?... yes.. the suppliers... Ever heard "regional distributors"? Hmmmm... makes you ponder right?
  

I'm not saying it is a bad thing... MLM is proven as a method that helped a lot of people to get income... Hard to deny right? Imagine and think... If the company is established in 1980, how long has it been around? And... if you join the company, will you be on the tip of the pyramid? the middle section of the pyramid? or.... the bottom of the pyramid???? CNI, Hi-O, Avon, etc were established in the 80s... If you join recently... I mean within this 5 years period... where are you actually??? Think please...
If the MLM company is established in 2007... is there any chance for you to be on the top half of the pyramid? There's a chance right? Think about it...
