MLM Success Tip #8 "Don't Take Advice from Poor People"

In the book "The Richest Man in Babylon" by George Clason, he tells a story of a young man that saves up enough money in a year to make an investment.

A brick layer comes along and tells him that he can invest his hard earned savings on some jewels from a distant land (which are worth 3 times the amount he would pay.) He could turn around and sell the jewels and triple his money.

(It's like modern day E-Bay right?)

The brick layer travels to the distant land and comes back with FAKE jewels. He ends up being scammed for jewels made of glass and the young man loses his money.

The lesson being learned that a brick layer understands the business of Laying brick, not the business of Buying and Selling Jewels.

Therefore, the same is true in your business. When a person comes to you and says "There is no money in that.....", "That's a scam", "That's a pyramid", "Nobody is EVER successful in that"..Consider their background.

Would you take advice about money from a poor person? Would you take advice about cars from a person who sells bicycles?

The same is true in MLM. Don't consider the advice from people who have no idea WHAT they are TALKING about.

Taking advice from poor people, would simply be a poor decision.
