Anti MLM/ Network marketing thread NUMBER 43!!

[Spongebobette]

This is the 43rd thread in a long series about the dangers of network marketing/ MLMs such as Forever Living, Ariix, NuSkin, Arbonne, Younique, TS Life, and MANY MANY more!
Posts here will give examples of the lies told by 'top bots' who portray luxury lifestyles in order to lure in new victims and of the other techniques and brainwashing used by MLMs
Over 90% of people who join an MLM end up LOSING money. Always bear that in mind when considering paying money to join!

@Theyprobablywill an acquaintance of mine does Young Living and no it's not a spin off of FLP. Just another MLM. This acquaintance if mine is a born again Christian, goes to the kind of church that has pastors rather than vicars. She is passionate about Jesus...but I can't help but feel that MLMs aren't very Jesusy.

I saw FL mid level bot asking ideas for days out with her kids on October break. Someone asked why she wasn’t going to Phoenix. 😂 she said she was going elsewhere.

A snippet from Rommie's website:

But, order to publish my book I was required to have some photos done, thee thought of made me feel quite sick with dread!

Two points;

1. FFS proof read what you write to see if it makes sense before you put it on your website. After all, you're calling yourself an author

1. Up until recently we've seen more grinning selfies of you on your fb page than we've had hot dinners so don't give us that crap about not liking having your photo taken

I still haven't managed to get over entrapreneur yet. I wish someone would tell her.

"Ian the last 4 years...". I couldn't work out who Ian was for a minute there .

Let's hope someone proof read the book!

Roomie has not picked the best photo for her website - she appears to have several extra chins 😳 The ones she posted on her Facebook page are much more flattering and attractive!

Does roomie understand what infamous means? On her photoshoot people must have been wondering who the infamous woman having her photos taken was!

Good god! Her website reads terribly...apparently 'she's work upon myself'

It’s hard for me to feel sympathy for yawn’s latest sign ups when they publish ridiculous Facebook pages as soon as they’ve bought their “business in a box” proclaiming themselves to be “Public Figures” and “Business coaches”etc. 😂😂😂

It's all part of this belief they have that if you think it, you can be it...

...buy a "business in a box"....you are a business owner/entrepreneur

...paint your house and buy tacky shit from Home Sense ...you are a property developer

...spend a few weeks typing up your life story, pay someone to publish it ....you are an author

... do a powerpoint of the same old bollocks but just vary it a bit from the last time....you are a business coach

... do a brief course in speaking .... you are a motivational speaker

@OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny That's a very accurate description! It makes such a mockery of legitimate business owners and trained professionals that have worked incredibly hard to learn their profession or to build up a business.

Roomie still has the wrong facebook page link on her website. It takes you to someone else with the same name as her!

Do you guys actually know these people? I've realised I know Roomie irl.

@Electrascoffee I don't know anyone mentioned but know a few low level bots.

Has Roomie tried to recruit you?

Yes, I knew her pretty well - our dc went to school together.

Which child/school Electrascoffee?

I only ask because the youngest 2 have been moved from school to school over the past couple of years (and my DC went to one of the schools too so I've come across Roomie as well)

Yawn see's positivity in every situation no matter how terrible it is. You should try your hardest to find even the tiniest thing to be grateful for.

Tell that to someone who just suffered a stillbirth, or someone who has just had a loved one die, or anyone who has been through something truly horrific. I'm not talking trying to find positivity when you may not get a chairman's bonus. Some people go through terrible things, she should think herself lucky that she hasn't been through anything where there truly is absolutely nothing positive about the situation.

Gosh.. Yawn's bots suck to her something rotten, some of the posts are actually vomit inducing..

😂 Omg I know of roomie as well as her oldest son is friends with one of my friends boy and often goes to stay when he is on leave. Small world

Agreed Whiterangey all Yawn really cares about is herself, CCs and Chairmans bonus.

Yes our dds were both at the same girls school. She then relocated. To be fair the first move would have been because of a school closure.

Tbh I'm pretty bemused how involved she became in this since she's an intelligent person. I'll never understand how at one time she had I think 4 kids in expensive private schools! And I think this was before she did FL.

This business about 'the law of attraction' pretty much amounts to the emperor's new clothes.

This power couple that are mentioned. I think maybe I know them too. Certainly I know of a couple much higher up than Roomie.

Ah I know the school you mean. When it closed the daughter (or was it both the older daughters) went to a state school despite there being a few private alternatives.

Like you said she had children in various private schools pre-FL. It didn't stop her later claiming (after the older ones had left school) that her FL business enabled her to put the younger ones in private schools though!!

All of those 'ignore the negatively','find the positive in small things' 'every cloud has a silver lining' posts from Yawn are aimed at her poor struggling downline.
'look at me I used to be just like you, now I'm rich and living the perfect life with no worries, I'm your fairy godmother, just believe in me and do everything I say and you'll have what I have in 3-5 years'

BOLLOCKS

No they didn't go to a state school - except the oldest dd who went to a A level college iirc. The other two went to the same girls school as my dd as they'd all been at the one that closed.
