If anyone new to these threads is wondering what motivates people like me to keep posting on here (and to Yawn and other bots who clearly dip in for a look)
I want to draw attention to the lies and manipulative behaviour which is endemic to MLMs; the dangling of money and lifestyles that are simply unachievable. I reserve a particular hatred for Forever Living, because I watched a friend get sucked in when she was on maternity leave. She spent money she couldn't really spare and tried really really hard, doing everything her upline told her to do (which always involved her spending more money on Success Days, more products, Prosecco when she invited friends round....). The worst aspect was the way she was encouraged to create a goal board and to identify her 'why'; this was then used to manipulate her and keep her going. I couldn't do anything to help her because she was taught that anyone not fully supportive of her 'business' was a neg-head and should be ignored.
She never ever had a 'business' of course, she was an unpaid rep for a company that's owned by one family. She wasn't given samples to give out, or promotional leaflets, or anything, she bore all of the costs and the company even had the cheek to charge her for access to a website. In fact they lost no opportunity to get money out of her, by getting her to pay to attend Success Days!!. She even had to buy her own food and drinks at conference or business presentations.
She was taught to sneer at people with J.O.Bs and believed that she would achieve financial freedom for her young family. She believed that she's qualify for trips. She threw herself into challenges set by her upline to earn incentives - this just meant she spent more money on products.
She became annoying on social media and lost a lot of friends, partly by being so obviously brainwashed that people avoided her, and partly because she blocked friends who asked questions that made her uncomfortable.
Of course, OF COURSE, after a couple of years of making no money she seems to have stopped doing Forever Living; she's deleted her FB presumably because she's embarrassed and is avoiding her 'teamies'
I am furious with her upline (who was in Stockholm) for hooking her in and stringing her along when she was vulnerable.
Since then I've watched as a steady stream of women get prospected and recruited by the likes of that upline none of whom have ended up doing well at all.
You are absolute vultures, you top bots, and you should be ashamed of yourselves. I hope it all comes crashing down round you in the very near future.
