Hiya, sorry i've been really unwell and I went straight to bed.
No Im not a follower of these threads, not because I don't care, just because I don't have the time. Its been a lot of work in the background over the last 2 years developing TED so if I'm not with my family or my team I've been focusing on that.
Someone also asked if I am a fair employer... I have managed hundreds of people in normal business over the last 12 years and have always taken care of my staff with flexible working and part time hours. Hence my utter disgust when I was refused. Forever at that time was not because of a burning desire to be a network marketer, i was just desperate to be a mum.
As I'm sure you can understand taking your dislike for mlm out of it, you don't just start a company in a matter of weeks or months despite what you think about the "current climate" - This isn't a knee jerk reaction to anything, it's to more than anything show the love for my grandad and for my little boy. I was told by my ex employers basically that I would never get anywhere in life and TED is about proving myself in that very same industry.
I honestly didn't expect it to be featured on here not being mlm. It upset me a little if I'm honest. I don't hate normal companies, I support anyone in anything they do. I just didn't work for a nice company hence my own decisions.
I was told about the comments about TED so I just wanted to address them to explain myself better than I obviously did in my video that I was very nervous making.
Some one else asked if I can confirm email addresses wont be used for my other business etc, absolutely not. Im sure there may be laws against that anyway. Rightly so you have pointed out I have taken a back seat, so you will know I no longer recruit any way. That has nothing to do with Forever, or in fact TED. I lost my baby in November and it just broke me, I haven't felt I can commit the time and energy to starters so instead of recruiting and letting them go it alone i just haven't recruited. Yes I know I should probably be over that by now but every day I think about the child that should be arms that isn't. Sorry if thats too much info just how I feel.
Just replying to the longer one now, I'm trying to read it on my phone whilst answer on my computer.
Im honestly not sure what investments other people have got, Ive never asked. Im currently investing in another property but that will make 2 so hardly a portfolio for me but hopefully a good move. Yes I'm definitely sensible with money as I encourage others to be. We've just paid off our ford focus I was really proud of that lol.
Do I feel guilt about signing people up knowing few would succeed? How would I know who would and wouldn't achieve what they wanted to, I only knew what i was achieving and showing them what I was doing. I feel guilty sometimes on the team that I have got that Im probably not so inspirational anymore to them. Its amazing to see the huge cheques, constant promotions etc so when I publicly said in october I was happy just to help them and do no more myself i think that may have been a little deflating. I of course help them every day, I just dont go for anything myself.
I absolutely see my future with forever, I've never felt let down by them. The company has been so supportive during my mini melt down. Like I say coming from a bad company I appreciate it a lot.
The CC change was sort of expected, we had it better than all other countries so I can't say it was a surprise. It didn't impact me personally not recruiting but of course it would have impacted others. It went down well though in my team, I can't speak for others. People seemed to understand.
I absolutely have never focused on pamper parties, It would never be a sustainable business route for me with my back condition. approx 6 months of the year I cannot drive, walking is difficult and and I most certainly cannot carry around products. I absolutely did focus on recruitment but have always had customers.
The make up was put on BOGOF earlier this year, I love make up because i look god awful without it so made lots of videos to help promote the BOGOF deal. It went down really well and all the make up sold out / still not back in stock... so I removed my videos because no point advertising something I cannot get my hands on to sell.
Yes I have been quiet, i have been putting a lot of work into TED and helping my team as appose to focusing on my social media.
I appreciate we have different views on mlm and im ok with that, but I would ask that my energy company be left out of it because it's for two people I love more than life, and one of them is no longer here and when spoken about negatively it makes me hurt for them. Looking back it wasn't even spoken about negatively I just didn't want it to get to that point.
I think I've answered everything so I'm not going to come back on now because I'm easily upset when it comes to those things so I will just wish you a lovely weekend and every success for your futures.
Abi xx
