Anything You Touch Turns to Gold

Amazingly, there are sales people who seem to be like that. Anything they touch turns to gold. Admittedly, I'm not like that. I have to dig deep into the ground and look for rocks with bits of gold in them, or wade in rivers to pan gold dust, so to speak, before I hit gold. Sometimes I watch people with the gold touch and shake my head in wonder. Why wasn't I made out like that?

Anyway, it's useless to keep wondering. What works is do dirty work. Roll up the sleeves and start shoveling. Yup, in networked direct selling, you dig deep and wide to look for people who need your product. Well, carrying quality products that remedy constipation problems, being overweight, and weak immune defense, it's easy to scout for the right customers.

Did you know that about 7 to 8 out of 10 Filipinos complain of being constipated? I was amazed when I did a small survey of folks I came in contact with. All of them said they had problems eliminating wastes, which often only happened every other day or worse, once every 3 or 5 days. They need the product, Optrimax Plum Delite. And selling it is like anything you touch turns to gold!

Another obvious problem among Filipinos is being overweight. Look around and you'd find 3 folks overweight out of 5. If not overweight, they have a bulging tummy. And they would give anything to get rid of bulges in the wrong places and start looking right. The moment they learn of a plum burns fat like crazy and makes you lose weight phenomenally without dieting or exercising, they want your product. In a sense, anything you touch turns to gold!

Another problem most Filipinos have is weakened immune system. They easily catch colds and cough and flu, especially when the weather is bad or the climate abruptly changes. Many kids are susceptible to viral infection, like dengue virus. Why is this? It's weak immune system. And why is it weak? Due to lack of Vitamin C. And I mean real, good, Vitamin C. Fruits and veggies you buy from the market aren't that powerful with Vitamin C anymore. Vitamin C quickly evaporates once the fruit or veggie source is mishandled or exposed to sunlight too much.

So you offer people Vital C sodium ascorbate in veggie caps. And you know what? Once they see how effective it is--and how it doesn't give them stomach acidity but even eliminate overall acidity in them (acidic environment is where sickness and diseases and harmful bacteria thrives)--they'd start buying Vital C like crazy. And it's like anything you touch turns to gold! You see, Filipinos are often sick with constipation, weight problems, and simple ailments. They need your help if you're an Optrimax Plums and Vital C marketer. With that, who needs a job? To hell with it. I say go jobless big time. Jobless wanted!

Thank God that You're Jobless!

Oh yeah, I mean it. Thank God that you're jobless. Jobs always get in the way of real livelihood--I mean, that which can really make you live, not just exist like a robot. Jobs make you think you're doing fine, like you're on living mode. But honestly, I very, very seldom see an employment pay that enables you and your family to be on living mode. For instance, in the Philippines, does a P485 daily minimum really sustain a family of four? Really?

But most people stick it out with minimum, most times even lower than that, hell in hell out. The thought of having a job soothes them well, even if the job results more to mounting loans and unpaid bills rather than a livelihood. But people still do not want to open their eyes to reality. They still hold on to their jobs and look for one if they're unemployed, not realizing that being jobless is a blessing. It can start you off to a real livelihood adventure, one that really translates to income that sustains and empowers.

Thus, thank God that you're jobless. Now that you were forced to cross the bridge and had it burned for you, too, you have no other recourse but to look for an alternative. And I hope it would indeed be an alternative, not the same curse all over again. Don't look for something you've just proven to be ineffective, something that trashed you after you have enslaved yourself to it. Don't take a medicine that gave you lots of side effects. Be jobless big-time! Thank God that you're jobless!

The good news is, there are lots of good and feasible alternatives today in this modern, Internet age! And actually, it's a real shame to stick to traditional employment when online marketing and small businesses empowered by the Internet have been providing new avenues to high income generation, even income that keeps growing even if you forget about it after working hard to grow it at least two years. Residual income is like that. You invest some time and money on the small business for a year or two, and then when all basics are in place, it starts earning money for you in increasing increments, even if you stop doing the business. These businesses are for real. They're more real than traditional jobs! You earn something to the tune of Php 100,000 a month, and that's a conservative estimate.

But it takes hard work for 2 to 3 years, doing direct selling first!

Well, detractors say, not all folks who do an alternative livelihood like that earn thus. Many of them fail because such alternative livelihood using alternative systems are really scams. Admittedly, there are companies like that, like some network marketing companies, using systems as stupid as they are. Once they earn big money they close shop or change system, leaving you shocked with a gaping mouth, wondering what happened to your hard-earned investment.

But scams like that are not exclusive to alternative livelihood. Lots of traditional companies offering you jobs are also scams. They give you below minimum wage, do not remit your SSS contributions, don't pay your overtime work, and some even keep you to a 6-month work contract, after which they fire you without separation pay. Isn't that a scam, too? So what do they say? Go find an honest company. And that's what I say, too. Go find an honest alternative livelihood!

However, personally, I've always found working for a company all your life and then retiring to get sick and spend all your pension and savings to drug maintenance, check ups, and costly medical treatments a big SCAM! The company sucks all your youth and energy for its benefit (and just gives you a measly salary and pension). When your youth and energy are all gone (and nothing left for you and your family), it kicks you off via the so-called retirement, and all you get from the years left you is a sickly old body your family cannot enjoy. Instead, your family has to suffer taking care of you in your sick bed. To me, that's a scam!

The best years of your life are not spent with family. They're spent with the company! What a tragedy! Best years should be enjoyed with God, service to Him, and the company of family and loved ones. That's the way it should be!

I've seen degreed people so proud of their so-called "high-paying" jobs, not realizing they're being short-changed. Why? Because their salaries have been pegged but their responsibilities and work load are not, and they never, never enjoy residual income. In fact, they don't know what it is. They're too blind bragging about their jobs and salaries and offices they fail to see that they're missing more than half of their lives. They'd die without seeing their real God-given potentials, and what fun they'd have enjoyed if they had spent their best years and strength with service to God and fellowship with family. Jobs prevent you from realizing your true potentials. And they thank God for their jobs.

Well, thank God for everything, even jobs, but you should know that God has something better prepared for you. We can all do a small alternative business which can later reward us with rich residual income. Why this? So we can devote quality time for service to God and His Kingdom building on earth. You won't be able to do that being tied to your neck in your job.
