			<description><![CDATA[*There are basic ways to determine if you will be in the right company.

*_*1. PEOPLE / MANAGEMENT:*_* first and foremost you need to know the person behind the company because their track records will speak for itself. These people will be your gauge if the company will last more than five years or not. They must be active within the company and always keep in touch with the members or better if they can visit your area / place. Since we don't have an institution who regulate the Network Marketing industry, DSAP (DSAP | Direct Selling Association of the Philippines - DSAP | Direct Selling of the Philippines (http://www.dsap.ph/)) is the one monitoring the activities of such companies but to me Direct Selling is totally different from Network Marketing so it wil lbe ok if the company is not a member of DSAP so long it has Code of Ethics and do pays out.

_2. PRODUCT:_ again the product should be "UNIQUE" because this will be the driving factor to increase your sales and membership. It should also be a business trend or trending for example during GOLD RUSH who became rich that time? gold diggers or those fellow who sell the tools? Another key factor on these one would be the baby boomers (A baby boomer is a person who was born during the demographic post-World War II baby boom between the years 1946 and 1964) they are the industry movers. They dictate what would be the next trend but right now since most baby movers are in their 50's - 60's if you noticed the latest fad are health products from supplements to yoga and etc, It's all on health industry. With the help of internet we can now tap larger market share GLOBAL business potential but some NM companies are still doing the traditional way of Sales and Marketing.

_3. PAYPLAN:_ now this aspect is quite tricky for some because different companies are using different compensation packages which could be label as Unilevel, Binary, Powerline, Force Matrices, Spillover and etc. You will basically know how many ways you can earn and how you can maximize your profit as well. There must be no "FLUSH OUT" meaning that company will not limit their monthly or yearly pay out or the company cannot take away your earning for the certain period. Payplan should be balance between the members and the company there must be a safety net for longevity and survival. 

_4. SUPPORT:_ The conviction and sincerity of the company can be seen here. After joining what kind of support does a new member will get? - that's must be the common question. Trainings, Marketing Materials, Perks, Money back guarantee and etc will fall under this category and not only that team participation is also beneficial for new members. The company must be all out supportive from management down to NM leaders.

_5. YOU:_ The most important aspect will be yourself. You must do your due diligence before indulgence. The decision is now yours to take and your action will determine the end result.

To our mutual success!

Cheers!*]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Just give me a reason to keep my heart beating.
Don't worry it's safe right here in my arms.
As the world falls apart around us.
All we can do is hold on, hold on.

Take my hand and bring me back.
I risk everything if it's for you.
I whisper into the night.
Telling me it's not my time and don't give up.

I've never stood up before this time.
Demo yuzurenai mono nigita kono te wa hanasanai.
So stand up, stand up.
Wake up, wake up.

Just tell me how I can, Never give up.
Kuru wa shimi hodo setsunai.
Just tell me why baby.
They might call me crazy.

For saying I'd fight until there is no more.
Fureri wo fukunda senkougankou wa kankakiteki shoudon. 
Blinded, I can't see the end.
So where do I begin?

Say another word, I can't hear you.
The silence between us.
Nanimo nai you ni utsuteru dake.
I take this chance that I make you mine.

Tada kakusenai mono kattate yori misekakete.
Kanashimi to setsunasa.
Kudaketenaide saite jita kono omoi wa.
So blinded I can't see the end.

Look how far we've made it.
The pain I can escape it.
Kono mamajya mada owarase koto wa dekinai deshou.
Nando kutabarisou demo kuchi hateyou tomo owariwanaisa.

Nigirishimeta ushinawanu youni to.
Te wo hirogereba koboreochisou de.
Ushinau mono nado nakatta hibino dasei wo sutete kimi wo.

It finally begins...]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[If you have 50 pesos right now will you spend it for burger? or invest it in a business?

What 50 pesos for business? You might be wondering if I'm already gone insane, right? but nothing to worry about I'm in sound mind and spirit. :redface-new:

If I knew an online program that can start you a business out of your 50 pesos will you take action? well....

*GOOD NEWS!* I have a program that can give you extra savings with your 50 pesos to start with.

I joined in this program late last July 2012 when my business mentor Mr. Go introduced this program to me, he said "Jeff I want you to try this out of skepticism. Anyway this is just a low start-up there's nothing to loss more to gain." I was intrigued with his words so i did join the program and after a week of doing nothing actually.

And here's what happened that day...

My 50 pesos investment turned 5x its fold, isn't it amazing? It's really crazy...how much more if I did my part that time perhaps it could be 10x bigger...no 100x bigger...and it's really achievable. Now, not to brag and not to boast I'm earning enough to feed my family and have our basic needs covered.

This is just one of the programs we have in Rewop Krowten Community (http://bit.ly/JEZ8VO). (I'll tell you more about the community in my next blog)

Interested to earn online as well? I'm willing to mentor anyone who is also willing to learn from me. ;)

After all it's my advocacy to help alleviate poverty in the country and that's the least thing I can contribute in our society.

Have a great weekend to all.

Ciao for now!]]></description>
