I have tried to reach you via whatsapp but it's not going through. confirm that you are on whatsapp. Thanks

Guys, I am trying to understand how to go about a t feature that a client wants in his MLM website.

1. He wants his users to automatically get paid their earning Every Friday direct into their bank accounts. No need for them applying for withdrawals.

Guys, please what are possible ideas to get this done.

I think this is a joke. Nice comedy

Psalm 91 is my key

1.2 million dollars is like 200 million nair . It can't even buy a quarter slot in CNN not to talk about other media platforms.

Peeps should learn to get busy. At least read my latest article on Dangote.

Others have said it

SELL, SELL, SELL

When stocks are high, sell

When they are down, buy.

It's a simple maths

This news on nairaland has made the saturday i have been enjoying since God know when to stop working. Not working at all today.

Wealth X is a company that profiles Wealthy people. They call it Ultra High Networth Individuals (UHNW).

A couple of day's ago they released what they called the 10 Richest Billionaire Bachelors. That means these guys are not yet married. You'll wonder why especially as you'll see that the youngest of them is 31 years old.

Are they scared of western ladies or what?

Anyway, they are billionaires in dollars. Today, I present these men and possible lessons one could learn from them.


1. Paul Allen

Net Worth: $15.8 B As of September 2013
Age: 60
Source of Wealth: Microsoft, investments, self-made
Residence: Mercer Island, WA
Country of Citizenship: United States
Education: Drop Out, Washington State University
Marital Status: Single

Lesson From Allen :

Though he is 60, the Microsoft co-founder, is never married. Maybe he is still waiting for the right lucky woman. But that is not the issue. Allen is one man who believes in the mighty power and complexity of the brain.

His Allen institute is dedicated to studying and analyzing all manner of elements that will decode the brain anatomy and fuel discovery. You can call him the brain study man.


2. Giorgio Armani

Net Worth: $8.5 B As of March 2013 (according to Forbes, but 10.9 billion according to Wealth-X
Age: 79
Source of Wealth: fashion, self-made
Country of Citizenship: Italy
Education: Drop Out, University of Piacenza
Marital Status: Single

Lesson From Armani:

Armani is a fashion mogul whose business interests also spans across hotels, fragrances and properties. The only person who can tell you why he is not married at almost 80 is the person himself. But we can learn great business lessons from this icon.

From telus.com, here is a quote from Giorgio Armani. This should tell you so much about the man.

"Remain true to yourself and your philosophy. Changing in the face of adversity will in fact diminish your credibility with your customers."




3. Mikhail Prokhorov

Net Worth: $13 B As of March 2013 (Forbes, but 9.3 billion according to Wealth-X)
Age: 48
Source of Wealth: investments, self-made
Country of Citizenship: Russia
Education: Bachelor of Arts / Science, Moscow Institute of Finance
Marital Status: Single

Lessons From Prokhorov

Mikhail Dmitrievitch Prokhorov (born 3 May 1965) is a Russian billionaire, politician, and owner of the American basketball team, the Brooklyn Nets. Prokhorov's brief of priorities are as follows: (1) business, (2) sports, (3) food, (4) human interaction and (5) women.

That looks like his brief on how to become a billionaire

4. Xavier Niel

Net Worth: $6.6 B As of March 2013 ( Forbes but according to Wealth-x,
Age: 46
Source of Wealth: internet, telecom, self-made
Residence: Paris, France
Country of Citizenship: France
Marital Status: Single
Children: 3

Lessons from Niel

Xavier Niel (born 25 August 1967) is a French entrepreneur and businessman, active in the telecommunications and technology industry and best known as founder and majority shareholder of the French Internet service provider Iliad trading under the Free brand (France’s second-largest ISP).

French consumers pay some of the world’s lowest broadband rates, thanks to Niel’s triple-play service, Free, which has forced established operators to match its discount prices. Now, Free is moving into mobile, sending prices plunging there as well.

What we can learn from this is obvious: Provide a great product at a better price.


5. David Geffen

Net Worth: $6 B As of September 2013
Cofounder, DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc. (Cl A)
Age: 70
Source of Wealth: movies, music, self-made
Residence: Malibu, CA
Country of Citizenship: United States
Education: Drop Out, The University of Texas at Austin
Marital Status: Single

Lessons From Geffen

David Lawrence Geffen (born February 21, 1943) is an American business magnate, producer and philanthropist. Geffen is noted for creating Asylum Records in 1970, Geffen Records in 1980, and DGC Records in 1990. Geffen was also one of the three founders of DreamWorks SKG in 1994.

Geffen has been an agent, a manager, a record-industry mogul, a movie and Broadway producer. In his early days someone said of him, "If he's your friend, he'll do anything for you. If he's your enemy, you might as well kill yourself."

But now in his later life David Geffen has become a very important philanthropist lending much of his enormous wealth to charitable causes, many of them AIDS related.

At nearly 70 years old and with many years to reflect upon, David Geffen seems to have sought refuge in a few poignant words that came near the end of the documentary on his life:

"I believe everyone dies unhealed."

Go figure what that means

6. Marcos Mera, 42

Networth: $5.7 billion

Marcos Mera, 42, inherited the wealth of his late mother, Rosalia Mera, when she died in August. She was the world's wealthiest self-made woman from co-founding Spanish clothing brand Zara.

The family's holding company is Rosp Corunna Participaciones Empresariales. Marcos Mera's sister, Sandra Ortega Mera, inherited more than 90 percent of their mother's wealth and became Spain's richest woman.


7. Scott Duncan

Net Worth: $5.5 B As of September 2013
Age: 31
Source of Wealth: pipelines, inherited
Residence: Houston, TX
Country of Citizenship: United States
Marital Status: Single


Lessons From Duncan.

Duncan is the only son of Lee Ellis and Dan Duncan who co-founded Enterprise Products Partners LP and then took it public in 1998.

In 2010, Enterprise consisted of over 48,700 miles of onshore and offshore pipelines and nearly 220 million barrel equivalents of natural gas and natural gas liquids of storage capacity.

Even though Scott is still a young man, its obvious he is managing his family business properly. We can learn from the family of the Duncans to carry our family along and make them a part of our business lives so as to continue the wealth after us.


8. Andreas von Bechtolsheim

Net Worth: $4.4 B
Age: 58
Source of Wealth: Google, self-made
Residence: Palo Alto, CA
Country of Citizenship: Germany
Education: Master of Science, Carnegie Mellon University
Marital Status: Single

Lessons from Bechtolsheim.

Andreas "Andy" von Bechtolsheim (born September 30, 1955) is an electrical engineer who co-founded Sun Microsystems in 1982 and was its chief hardware designer. He later became an investor, writing the first major cheque to fund Google, and starting several computer networking companies.

Andreas was the first major investor in Google. That tells you something about risk. This was when no one gave Google a shot at becoming anything useful. Today, it's a different story.

Entrepreneurs must see beyond what the normal person sees and be willing to risk it against all odds.


9. Alejandro Santo Domingo Davila

Net Worth: Forbes say that he is worth $11.7 B As of March 2013, but Wealth-X says $3.9 B)
Age: 36
Source of Wealth: beer, inherited and growing
Residence: New York, NY
Country of Citizenship: Colombia
Education: Bachelor of Arts / Science, Harvard University
Marital Status: Single

Lessons From Alejendro

His work centers on the management of his family's conglomerate, the Santo Domingo Group. We can learn to learn from our parents enough while we can from this young billionaire.

10. Charles Butt & family

Net Worth: $8.5 B As of September 2013 according to forbes but Wealth-X says $2.9 B)
Age: 75
Source of Wealth: supermarkets, inherited and growing
Residence: San Antonio, TX
Country of Citizenship: United States
Education: Bachelor of Arts / Science, University of Pennsylvania Wharton School

Lessons from Charles Butt

Charles Clarence Butt (born February 3, 1938) is an American grocer who took over his family's San Antonio-based H-E-B supermarket chain in 1971. The privately held company now has more than 300 stores and $17 billion in sales.

What can we learn from the Butt Family? Again, I think we can learn to understand our family vision.

Conclusion

I definitely do not want to be in this list. There are other lists. Well, lessons learned. I believe we can take the lessons and apply them in our lives and become better. Or what's your opinion?

You

I need to complete this post with your name included.Right now,you are either still looking for a good job or you already are working somewhere or you have a business or just an idea.

I believe in you, so make sure we read your own story soon.

Cheers

Hello Paul,

Nice work,

I would like to have an interview with you for publication on our business news media website and possible collaboration. How do I contact you.

http://businesscandle.com

hi bro,

Nice story. WOULD YOU BE KIND ENOUGH TO COMPILE THIS STORY INTO A PDF SO we can give it out to our growing list at www.businesscandle.com. By the way,we would also welcome you to write for us there. Let me know what you think.

As at my last count, there have been well over 50 MLM or network marketing companies in Nigeria. Many have gone completely obsolete while many are barely just there.

Chances are many will still come and go.

Nigerians seem to never learn from the outcomes of these companies. They will always join the latest one in town. Blame it on poverty and government carelessness.

220 Diseases, One Cure...For Real?

In this country, a small boy in China can just put together a small concoction and come and tell us it cures 220 diseases and before you know it, we’ll be running around promoting the concoction.

I do have a beef with MLM companies, not because of anything but because they have become permanent vehicles to siphon people of their little hard earned cash.

The Get Rich Lies in MLM

I’m sure a couple of us here have tried to get rich with some of these network marketing companies. There is always that impression that this is going to be the "wave of the future", a business model that is gaining momentum, growing in acceptance and legitimacy and, as its promoters claim, will eventually replace most other forms of marketing and sales.

The impression is further sealed as we see some people who claim to have gotten cars and would be travelling the nations all because they belonged to the MLM Company.

Many people seeing that now go as far as registering their brothers, sisters, children, spouses, and friends and so on. Working hard to get their own cars, they eventually get disappointed as they realize that people are not joining anymore

Here are 4 Reasons MLM Companies Don’t Work on the Long Run

1.The Products and Services are expensivemlm2

People don’t seem to see this. However, it’s true that these network marketing companies build into the products the so called commission they will pay you. This makes the prices of the products out of the proper rate.

How many times have you bought a sachet of tea, like lipton, something you should buy less than N20, you ended up buying it N100 or more?

2. The Products Do Not Add Value in the Long Run

Most times the products involved in these MLM companies that promise heaven just don’t live up to it.

Some years ago, my mother got sick. I sent her money to go to the hospital but she went for Tianshi products and lied to me she had started treatment.

The so called Tianshi supplements didn’t work. It was at the point of death that my Mum opened up to me and we had to rush her to a teaching hospital. We ended up spending over half a million naira to save her life.

These vitamins and so called natural teas never replace the place of proper checkup and treatment when someone is sick. The vast testimonials you see in the trainings are hand picked cases that the details are not often known.

3. MLM Strains Relationships

Just introduce 5 people and let the 5 people introduce 5 and bam, you are on your way to Bahamas, right?people-linked

Only if that was easy.

Building a network is not easy especially if the players are required to pay to be in the network.

4. Favors only the Early Entrants

This is why MLM becomes a pyramid scheme at the end of the day. The profit made from the product sales are not enough to make up for the compensations in the system.

To really make it, you have to recruit people. And those people have to recruit people. So the late joiners are left as the brunt bearers.

Final Thoughts

As should be obvious from this article, these are my opinions only. I am only familiar with a few MLM opportunities, and I happily admit that I did not get the joining level.

I am very open-minded, and I’m sure many people have good experiences with MLM.

That said, if you are involved in MLM or are presented with an opportunity please consider my points above, try to cut past all the hype that is likely to be associated with the presented opportunity, and use your own mind to decide the value of the opportunity.

HIGHERBASE IS NIGERIA'S NUMBER ENTREPRENEURS COLLEGE

Its only a weakling that walks about worried about his looks and body language. Who are you trying to impress. Guys deal with it. GEJ is our presdido for now. People who have serious business dont go about havng meetings for days.

what this guy did is terrible and obviously he would not be coming out of it in a long time to come. but let's put a few things in perspective.

1. why was he given quit notice?

2. has his rent expired?

3. how did the landlord-tenant relatioship deterioriate?

4. how did one man manage to kill two ppl with a knife one after another without reasonable resistance?

5. then proceeds to start settin a house on fire?

somrething is not right with this story

Nairalanders continue to show that they have no proper upbringing. Ok Ok, I remember, its mainly commented by 14-17 yr old. Sorry gotta leave now.

With this thread, you insult us all. Until all the Islamic leaders come out and openly begin to condemn these attacks everywhere, we have every reason to believe these terrorists are acting out their minds. Keep quiet bro. I beg you
