Making a living from multi-level marketing

Some Nigerians are earning a living  from  multi-level marketing. One of them is Abiodun Mustapha. Daniel Essiet reports.

Abiodun Mustapha is a wealth empowerment consultant. It was in his quest for financial freedom that he came  about multi-level marketing (MLM).

An Islamic  and Integrated  Science  teacher, the  graduate of Federal College  of Education (FEC), Akoka, Lagos was not fulfilled.

This is because at the end of every month, his take-home pay could not take care of the needs.

He thought of a way out. He recalled that at college, he was introduced to network marketing.  Then, he began with  selling GNLD products. He finally pitched his tent with Trévo, where he claimed, he made over N160 million in less than four years.

Future’s sweet if you follow a plan

QUESTION: I’m a 27-year-old, second-year apprentice chef, and recently moved back in with my parents following a breakup. It’s not the best situation but I’m trying to make it work and I see this as a good opportunity to drill down on some debts I’ve accumulated. I owe a little over $6000 on a credit card and personal loan and $15,000 on a car loan. I know that’s not good. But what are the best steps I can take to set myself up for the future and make sure I enter my 30s on the right path?

Kara

ANSWER: It totally sucks to be you right now. Make no mistake, while you’re living under your oldies roof, you’ll have to play by their rules. If they’re not charging you rent or board, they’re effectively giving you money, and that almost always comes with an (emotional) catch.

So, here’s how to make it suck a little less: Put on your big girl pants, sit down with your parents and show them your financial plan.

Here’s a sample one:

First, agree to pay them some form of board (it could be preparing them meals, it might be doing cleaning, it may well be cold hard cash). Whatever it is, it’s important to set the boundaries of what is expected from the get-go.

Second, save $2000 in a high-interest online savings account.

Third, if you have access to public transport, talk to your lender about selling your car and paying down as much of your loan as you can.

Fourth, devote 70 per cent of your after-tax income to paying down your debts.

And, finally, give your parents a definite time as to when you’ll leave the nest — for good.

Trina Mullins Finds Home & Success With Trévo

In 2010, Trina Mullins was working in an office, answering to other people, and never feeling like she had enough time to see her five children. The “corporate rat race”, as she puts it, was weighing heavily on her as she found herself constantly stressed out and worried about her family’s financial future. She also faced daily health issues, including a severe case of asthma that she’d suffered from her whole life.

“I’d just lost hope of really living life to its fullest,” Mullins says. “But I always knew in my heart there had to be a better way, something more out there.”

When Trina was first introduced to Trévo that year, she saw the nutritional supplement as a way for her to take back control of her health. But she had no idea that it would be the “better way” she daydreamed about – the thing that allowed her to break free from the corporate world and reach levels of success she never imagined.
