Barnbot heaven forbid your upline start a new business, but then that would take income away from uberbot.
I can remember being told that it's all smoke and mirrors, that a few of the top ones were renting their houses but making out they bought them (obviously we all know about castlebot) but I was also told others did it too.
One of my upline pulled back a bit due to personal circumstances, none of her 'good friends' in her upline checked to see how she was, after all she wasn't earning them as much then.
You're also not told everything about what you need to do once you hit manager. You still need to keep building and having new people coming in each month to qualify for CB. Got to be consistent with recruiting or it's never going to happen.......
