An i-opener!!!

Suhas your blog and comments on it are exploding….u have done the job of staring into the person’s eyes and telling that your child is ugly!!!

I fully concur your opinions w.r.t. MLM. I don’t know about leadership though.

I also attended (was forced to attend actually) few MLM presentations….one hitch in some schemes is most of them have their head offices located at Tax heaven countries and where corporate laws are too liberal.

Secondly I think as rightly pointed out by someone before why people sign for such schemes is due to greed and due to thought of earning money without much pain.
What I feel is having roots in basic eco. Without Land, Labour, Capital and Entrepreneur….I cann’t earn the returns. What am I investing here in MLM? None of these i believe.

But remember bottom of pyramid will always be robbed in such cases….so one need to ensure that there is bigger fool (and that is not you) before entering such schemes.
My 2 cents.

I liked the blog…certainly advice it!
Cheers.

Thanks for caring to reply.
I agree and had accepted that no I am not a leader but my point is that these MLMs atleast provide grooming ground for future leaders. Some of whom we may never recognize. That was all I wanted tto say.

And I have never approached my friends or relatives for these companies because I believe that: Friendship based on bussiness is better that bussiness based on friendship.

Please go through the blog again. I have severally mentioned that I’m talking about those fraudulent MLM companies which ultimately leave more than half of their members penniless. Yes, I do agree that network marketing is a strong concept and the future of this era, but then that does not mean we should allow anything under the veils of MLM.

Reshma,

I don’t have any words for your derogatory comments. Please don’t take anything personally.

Animesh,

I do agree that MLM companies help you get rid of your shyness, they create that flair of sales and marketing in you that we usually are frightened of. Still, does that make you a leader? My argument was only against the claim that MLM companies create leaders.

Nagendra,

You seem to be quite a patient man. I totally agree with you on almost everything – right from reading books to sharing knowledge.

First things first.
It would be better if you give data which can prove that your MLM scheme is helping all people involved throughout rather than telling me what law of attraction is. I thought you have learned science sometime in your life.Sorry for such assumptions.

Second:Creating Poll gadget
I don’t mind creating such gadget as I know how to do it. But thats all the blog owner’s decision whether to have it or not.It is not required that we must have a gadget , we still can work with following question.
Those who ever care to vote can vote:

Q: What is your general reaction about MLMs or Pyramid Schemes or Network Marketing?
1. They are just awesome. They helped me build my future.I never had a feeling of such fullfillment in my life when I got into this. My relationship with people improved. I have kinda became a Giding light for all poor , hardworking people arond me.

2. I entered into MLMs just to rip the benefit of early comer. I had only business in mind. I do not worry what will happen to those whoever joins below me.

3. I lost all my credibility in society. People around me evade me so that they do not have to face the situation where they have to say no to my kind asking to come for the seminar arranged by MLMs.I have earned money at the cost of my relationships in society.My closest friends do not want to talk to me just because they fear that I might ask them for few more contacts for MLMs.

4. I joined simply because I can get returns through goods i will get while joining and nothing has gone waste.But i found that products were exorbitantly priced.And that is why people who care about value for money did not join this scheme.

5. I am wealthy upper class person. I was knowing from the start that I am going to lose all my money I have put in MLMs. I hate the concept of MLMs from the start. I have got registered just because best friend of mine has became a part of this MLM and he made me join it.I do not expect anything in return.

6. I simply joined because some idiot showed me his big cheque of bla bla amount.Later I found dat that was the only cheque he earnt in his entire career of this business.I also found that he hampered is nice career devoting his entire energy to this scheme.

If you have any more options in mind , you can comment those.

Third: dnt want to waste my time to educate full cup people like u
You do not have any idea about whom you are dealing with. Its better you do not comment on my abilities.

Fourth:Suhas has pointed to a link where author tells about one important characteristic of binary treesagain bookish!reliance,hindustan lever have also started binary plan.Theory se bahar aaja,uske bahar hi duniya hoti hai
–>Reliance and HLL is planning to enter into binary plan does not make the concept good. There are lot of MLMs who are doing help of needy people. We have an example of Tupperware.
We still can take an example of Gramin Bank started by Nobel Prize winner Economist Mohammad Yunus who identified the importance of mutual trust in relationships.It is one of the revolutions in area of microfinance. Lasting peace cannot be achieved unless large population groups find ways to break out of poverty. Micro credit is one such means. Indeed, the Grameen Bank’s success lies in its business model: the recovery rate is said to be over 96 per cent; these short-period loans are dispersed without any kind of collateral (but backed by group guarantee) and borrowers are required to save some amounts. Hence, over time many borrowers are able to escape poverty.The recovery rate is higher because people belonging to same group know each other very well and they make defaulting borrower repay the sum because of their relations.

Fifth:life itself is the binary,there will be always more childrens than adults bcoz childrens are @leaf position…as time passes they will also become non-leaf adult
–>This is no new truth that you are telling. Children of today are going to be adults or precisely parents tomorrow. But is is true in all cases? And in this case of MLMs you are taking sides with has the drop rate of over 98%.Check your stats.

Sixth:mahitiye ata khup athvan hotiye CS books chi :p
–>Again the same comment.You do not have any idea about whom you are dealing with. Its better you do not comment on my abilities.

Seventh:No one will take you and it will be better for them
–> Its really true. Its not good for them. I might nullify their brainwashing effect.

Eigth:.Go to Alabania’s wiki page(wa!!nice to see you using editable websites as your knowledge base,update your knowledge base from such sites and get increments in JOB(Just Over Brok)as glorified beggar,all the best to carry ur already leak bucket with many holes)
–> People from all over the world see the wikipedia as an authentic resource of knowledge. Technologists see Wikipedia as a thret to goolge in the domain of search and knowledge. Being editable by anyone is the biggest power of wiki. It ensures that the content that you are viewing is neutral. You can see neutrality mismatch too if user vote against its sanity. Wiki points you to the newspaper links using which you always can clear your doubts. Now don’t say that I do not believe in Times . Nobody care if you believe or not. You simply don’t matter.
I believe you must belong to the royal family or the family lending money to Tats and Birlas as your parents must have not been the glorified beggars in your words.

Ninth:you should not be bothered about wasting the webspace(fukatache milatay mhanun…)
–> I have my own website.I pay for it.Btw WordPress is again one of the leading community websites which have the sole purpose of giving voice to people.They are not driven as MLMs. Its hard for you to understand what communtiy contribution is.

I do not care to explain my side. As I do not have to tell who is misguiding without giving facts. This is not an issue where you can just debate. This issue involves economics. It can not be proven without giving numbers to support you.

Get Well Soon.Be wary of your butt. People might kick it if you don’t

Well things are being taken too personally now and debate has spun out of control. Lets concentrate on the issue and not wash or dirty linens in public.

There are always two sides of coin and the light should be thrown on both of these.

One thing for sure it definitely produces millionaires though I have failed in two such schemes. I have paid hefty amounts and worked hard(but not hard enough). Still would say that it was lack on my part because the system succeded and still running. I have bought overpriced products and now cannot use them nor can I sell them, still I donot blame the system.

Joining or not joining the system is a personel perspective of everbody. And lossing on relationship is also true. But then can we think why we failed in our relations? Why were we not able to give it more strength? Its a common knowledge that all the relations in the international scenario revolve around economics. Then why can we not strengthen our personal relations by providing the same economic power? Ok personal relations have a touch of emotions but then till economic help does not hurt.
I am not saying that join any of MLM scheme no thats not my point.
I am simply trying to further this debate on correct course. Lets have a debate on this issue its really boiling.

And yes I will like to disagree at point and thats of creating leaders. I was a shy and timid guy. But now I am atlest not shy. I can voice my concerns and try to approach a stranger. I am not a leader yes leaders are born but these MLM companies prrovide a very good grooming point for leaders. They help in distinguishing between the ledears and the followers. Between achievers and heart achers.
I lost good few thousands but I have learned something.

I am really missing the poll gadget here.If it would have been here, it would have been really great to show what people really think about it(create it,u have webspace,CS books ).
Rather than putting stolen quotes which say about Act of conversation and bla bla bla , it would be nice if you can come up with points and data which defends your points(dnt want to waste my time to educate full cup people like u).I don’t know whether you have really read the article properly or not(reading wrong things will not give right insights). Suhas has pointed to a link where author tells about one important characteristic of binary trees(again bookish!reliance,hindustan lever have also started binary plan.Theory se bahar aaja,uske bahar hi duniya hoti hai). In any Binary tree, number of leaf nodes is always greater than the number of non leaf nodes(life itself is the binary,there will be always more childrens than adults bcoz childrens are @leaf position…as time passes they will also become non-leaf adult).Pyramid schemes portray the same binary trees which we have learned in our CS books(mahitiye ata khup athvan hotiye CS books chi :p ).People at leaf nodes get nothing unless they move one postion higher in the tree.At any point of time there are more losers than gainers in Pyramid Schemes. I definitely would not like to be part of these schemes even after knowing this(No one will take you and it will be better for them).Go to Alabania’s wiki page(wa!!nice to see you using editable websites as your knowledge base,update your knowledge base from such sites and get increments in JOB(Just Over Broke) as glorified beggar,all the best to carry ur already leak bucket with many holes), you can certainly find about the collapse of alabanian economy after the arrival of Pyramid schemes.

Reshma, you should not be bothered about wasting the webspace(fukatache milatay mhanun…). WordPress is giving it for free.
Probably you would not understand it.They are not charging Rs 1500 for registration and giving Suhas perks for making his friends/relatives register for writing blogs on wordpress. .Even if it has to be bought , I hope Suhas won’t mind buying the webspace just to educate(or misguide) friends around him and to spread the right thing rather than brainwashing people with lavish reverie(like u).
One more thing I would like to point out in your post. Law of attraction says Negative will attract Positive and not negative. This is one of the most basic lessons of Modern Science. Equal Forces repell and not attract.(what a blogish knowledge you have!)

*All the best.And write something creative of your own instead of doing tp on commenting others blogs having zero practical knowledge of anything.Get well soon.
