As you were, team, as you were.

Some idol worship going on in Newport. The bots are getting coached by 'Rockstar' mlm millionaire Jan Ruhe. Holding up the flyers reminds me of the aliens in toy story. "One of us, one of us" notice how tired they look as well, they all have bags under their eyes.

I do hope that a 'passion planner' isn't as it sounds. For the distributors' sake at least.

Jan Ruhe is not cheap!!

They will have paid a lot to be there

Another training weekend? Jees how much training do these ladies need?

Haha cozie everything needs to be planned

My mistake the one of us chant is from the movie Freaks and also featured in the Simpsons and South Park. Your right Ray it won't be cheap no doubt her and Jayne Leach will be following their books.

Selling their books*

Reading all these comments is so depressing. And absolutely true!
People being manipulated and sucked dry mentally and physically (yes they do look so tired) is appalling. If I'm honest, I wasn't in deep at all, I just knew I had to keep my distance from my harpy upline so I did.
Many of these bots appear oblivious to it caught up in the projected excitement of someone else's -life- lies.

I do so agree that personal development trainings ( and there's 100s of them around) are featuring more and more particularly over the last 12 months, join this, buy that, watch this, attend this.
Criticisms of actions veiled as helpful observations but meant to undermine a person capacity to reason and decide themselves. Oh no we don't want them thinking! Just clapping and coveting!

The trainings are all the bloody same as well. Now I reckon a lot of us on mumsnet have studied at length. We've studied concepts that are difficult to grasp. I'm onto about my fourth mlm 'training' book and there is nothing, no substance. It's crap. They are tricking people and that's it. Statistics already tell us that it's only sonething like 0.04% who will turn a profit and no amount of mindset/magic wishes/tricking people is gonna change it

All this cc talk instead of £'s would send me running for the hills straightaway. It shows there is something to hide. If there were genuinely big bucks to be made by ALL why not talk about the money. Why, also confuse people with the amount the business has brought in? This does not in any way inform the person of what they will earn in real life terms. Sly and underhand.

Also not naming the company you work for i.e JP FL etc. Why do that? Because you know it is a 'business' that most will lose money from and want to lure them in via other means before the big reveal, hoping by that time you have hooked them good and proper.

Nasty.

Not a business for me. Shafting people and going to the gym. Nah

My facebook feed is full of sponsored Life Coaches spouting utter crap!

Sminky, also you'd have thought if it was actually useful to anyone it would be you - you're self employed and you work in quite a competitive industry where I can imagine people can be quite negative. So the fact that you've found nothing of any value to you at all just demonstrates that it's a load of guff! but I guess it doesn't matter what's actually in it, if JL says it changed her life and you're already in for a few grand you'll do what she says!

Alarmingly this seems to come from a FL magazine...

The same bot thought this was hilarious...

My JP bot has made 74 new friends in the last 3 days. Must have been to training sessions.

No doubt the first of many Belfast "success" day post.

Ah. Titanic posts.

(Deckchair rearranging.)

All the same bot - who also constantly refers to C9 as a "detox".

WINDY, that bot who has MS has given me serious rage!
MS comes in many forms, (remitting, progressive , replasing )some people have one or two episodes in their entire life amd no further symptoms, but for her to imply some gunk has helped is beyond words.
She has absolutely no clue.
I have a family member who sadly has primary progressive ms, a long downward spiral of illness which will never get better, and things like this make me mad.

And, just to add you don't 'get ms under control ' she Could quite easily wake up one morning with loss of sight or unable to walk. That's the nature of the illness.

Has anyone been to a 'global success' or even one of the more minor overseas events? Is it all brainwashing, or do you get help on your specific 'business' as well?
