The thread where network marketing / multilevel marketing goes local - not global.

Oh I don’t think Yawn is who I thought it was 🤦‍♀️

acatcalledjohn · 02/04/2019 20:18

Success Inspired her predatory behaviour...

It's true, she has financially broken many families. Children who may have had to go without food as their mum was brainwashed into buying aloe shite instead.

If you are promised that if you spend the food budget on aloe shite that you will make double that by the time you need to buy the food you will do it if Yawns brainwashing has got to you.

Given the income of the people she targets it's certain that she is responsible for children going hungry.

I do feel sorry for her kids though but it's Yawn's doing.

A bereavement and inheritance can sometimes save the day when someone is in debt #justsaying

Whiterangey · 02/04/2019 20:32

Yawn has scary eyebrows and is overweight and Castle has a severely receding hairline which she desperately tries to hide but is very visible.

For all the banging on about house food their self esteem is they go to great lengths to hide their perceived flaws.

Whiterangey · 02/04/2019 20:32

How good, not house food. Stupid autocorrect.

Teddy1970 · 02/04/2019 22:14

So the directors loans are due...what happens if they can't pay?

Whiterangey · 02/04/2019 22:26

They will not file their next accounts or confirmation statement in the hope company's house will strike their company off the register on the quiet.

HRMC are wise to that and will put a soo to it and the company will become insolvent. The insolvency people will work out how much is owed to HRMC and will expect the director who took the loan to pay it. If the director has no money then homes will be expected to be sold.

Teddy1970 · 02/04/2019 22:57

Bloody hell..they're in deep s**t then, I don't know how they sleep at night, then again, Yawn does look knackered in that last vid.

FranceTeam · 02/04/2019 23:53

Can I just ask how people know that Yawn has caused families so much damage as to become impoverished and without food?

It just seems to me incredible that someone would lose so much from it to actually go without food! Has their been evidence this is the case, and do you know how much the families lost ?

darceybussell · 03/04/2019 03:58

Hi all - long time lurker, occasional poster here. If they don't pay the loan back either the company has to pay a tax charge of 32.5%, or the company can write the loan off, in which case it's treated as a dividend and will be taxable on the director's next tax return, so for a dividend received today the tax will be payable in January 2020.

Whiterangey · 03/04/2019 07:29

I've read personal stories from boys who have got out saying they have gone hungry because they invested in their business and have had to utilise food banks. With the hundreds, of not thousands of people Yawn has recruited it's more than likely that had happened to a few of the people she had recruited.

MLM is touted as a good opportunity to get off benefits. Just spending £200 to join will be a fair portion of someone's money for the month. Of course you are told you will make that back and more straight away.

Spongebobette · 03/04/2019 07:44

One of her newer minions is married to a window cleaner and they have 3 children
I imagine 200 quid is a significant sum to them

SnoogyWoo · 03/04/2019 08:42

Looks like she’s out pitching in hotels again! Surely that’s what you do in the early days, it’s like her business has been reset. No photo of how many attended though.

acatcalledjohn · 03/04/2019 08:46

Not to mention that MLM huns prey on the vulnerable with the promise of financial freedom. A lot of those people are financially vulnerable because of maternity, job losses, in jobs they hate, that sort of stuff.

Selling the dream of financial freedom to someone struggling financially is so much easier than it is selling it to someone who is financially comfortable.

The above, combined with stats of MLM (>95% of sign ups make no money, or even lose money) makes it a very reasonable logical deduction that yes, bots like Yawn and Castle and Uber and Bloodsucker and Homeschool have all lured in poor people under false promises.

Whiterangey · 03/04/2019 09:09

Yawn usually posts photos of the people who show up to her trainings or presentations. I can't help wondering if nobody showed yesterday and she got her husband to take the photo. They're is no tagging of attendees or comments by them under her photo.

fromdownwest · 03/04/2019 09:27

This whole 15 day comfort zone things they are all doing is seriously odd. Going on lives to tell your secrets, highlight your flaws and your own odd habits.

I’ve been lucky enough to have sales training with real coaches, and never ever have I see this. I suppose that is what happens when the scammers get scammed.

acatcalledjohn · 03/04/2019 09:38

That's how you break someone down to a shell of themselves. Make them focus on all the negatives so that they feel the only thing that could make them better people is 'the opportunity'.

Any decent coach would help you focus on positives, recognise your strengths and your areas for improvement. Because those areas aren't inherently bad, they could simply do with a bit more focus than those you have already mastered.

Who'd have thought that all these bots aren't really coaches?

Whiterangey · 03/04/2019 09:39

Cult like tactics. Get someone to say they aren't happy with their weight, have low self esteem, or feel bad because they haven't got the money to give their children the life they want to give them. Then you use that against them.

All the top bots are happy to say they have overcome all those issues thanks to FLP and so can you.

That is the only reason they are asking those things, it's really shitty. When they fail to overcome these things it's their own fault for not working hard enough and not really wanting to.

fromdownwest · 03/04/2019 09:56

Wow, it is truly shocking when you look at it like that. It's so cruel and deceiving.

I am not one for a self help book, but I recently read 'The subtle are of not giving a f*ck'

A book they should read, in essence it's premise is life is unfair, life is cruel, but without negatives you cant appreciate the positives. Highlighting your weaknesses to change them is counterproducitve, accept that you have them yes, but focus on what you excel at.

It has a lot of digs at social media and the perfect picture it paints. A great read, I recommend it!

Cult mentality - Pure and simple!

For example "My Why" and "Dream Boards" - Emotional manipulation at it's finest which brainwashes the bot to keep going until the penny finally drops and the bot suddenly realises she is losing money and has alienated friends and family alike.

Marriages and relationships have ended because uplines have advised bots that their other halves are negative influences in their lives who must be cut out in order for them to succeed, Friends and family members have been removed from bots lives for daring to question that their biznizz might be of the "3 pointed square" variety.

and all for what??....to keep the 1% at the top in the lifestyle they have become accustomed to.

It's vile and reprehensible and their time ruining peoples lives is coming to an end.

The industry is becoming almost pariah like in the UK and it's not before time.
