When this concept came into the market, my first impression was "Why didn't I think of that? -  Cafe doing MLM " There are no products involved but only services.

Its a unique way to bring crowd to dine in to the restaurant and the customers will keep on coming back, for they are given food voucher monthly, when they join as a member. (or some called it as a shareholder) The initial investment was quite big but it changes as time goes by, to capture the other group of people. They will earn commissions whenever they introduce other friends to join as member of the cafe.

Many people have different perception of Island Red Cafe today. There are both mixture of good and bad experience.

Island Red Cafe marketing plan can show residual income potential. I know there are people earning this income, but it has to also balance up with the proper handling of the company. The people behind the show is important to make this cafe a success. 

I joined as a shareholder but I didn't bring anyone to join in. I took the risk myself. When things go wrong in any business, the person whom you introduced will normally blame you. This things happened. We hope the management will do something for the benefit of the members.

Where can I invest my money so that I could get a better returns?

Financial Institutions offer a very safe and secured return in a form of Fixed Deposit, which is 2.5% per annum currently.

But many people are diversifying their money into other areas that could give them a higher and faster returns. Its undeniable to avoid seeing more and more people nowadays going for a FAST and BIG return of their investment!

I am talking about Investment in a form of time and money. There are investments which generate its returns in a short time and some takes a longer time to acquire its benefits. And there are some that could never see the returns at all, and some loses more money in their investments.

Fixed Deposit is an investment without any risk, but it gives you a very small return. If one is looking at a higher returns of their investment, they should observe all the risk involved and be willing to participate that risks. As the saying goes "High risk, High returns".

What could we do with our money to make it work for us, instead of leaving them idle under our pillow?

Invest !!!

Take a look at these options, we have Unit Trust. We could also invest in Stocks and Shares. How about trading in Forex? We could survey and seek opinion of which is the suitable MLM business for us. How about starting a conventional business?

What are the chances or is there any guarantee that whatever that you have invested will finally give you the returns you expected ?

Come on, nobody could. I couldn't give you any kind of guarantee that you will be successful in your investment of money and time in MLM business. Or should I say, in any kind of investment ventures.

Gamble!

Is that the most appropriate word to use? Life is a gamble. We live our lives according to what we think is right.

Gamble in a calculated form is recommended rather than Gamble with our eyes closed. Gamble in business investment that gives you higher chances of success is a calculated risk investment. But gamble in a casino is a fifty fifty chance. Its human nature to try their luck in casinos. Perhaps, its greed in all of us. 

Anyway, always remember : never, never, never quit and never stop trying.
