Its forever living's global rally. Watching the top bots collect greatly reduced cheques.

Remember to always check companies house to check if someone in your upline is really earning what they say.

It is all very odd, the move to the Island was a dream and they can do it because the flexibility of their company and the tonnes of cash they are bathing in.

Less than a year, back home. The whole setup is just bizarre, and I am sure this is not going un-noticed by FL top brass. The lifestyle that they want you to portray is slowly unfolding, as quickly as she has risen, she has been dropped. They will move onto the next new glamorous Shill. Truly an industry to empower women.

@Hunbot - she says so in the comments under her most recent post.

Hunbot · 20/05/2019 12:03

Can't see where she says why

Twentytwentyhindsight · 20/05/2019 12:10

Sorry- thought you were asking what was leading us to think she was coming back, not her reasons - my bad!

GimmieTheCoffeeAndNooneDies · 20/05/2019 12:20

BAB04 or whatever is a real card.

She ain't no different from those ladies in Boots, Harrods and Selfridges because they don't get a guaranteed wage, NI contributions, annual leave, pension, or sick pay either ... oh hang on...

Hunbot · 20/05/2019 12:22

Ha ha twenty. Thought she must have deleted her reason. My guess is that because of the house not selling and with her reduced cheques she can't afford to keep it all going.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 20/05/2019 12:52

That would also be my guess @Hunbot - am I correct in thinking it was Lanzabot's rental they were living in?

Even if it was, I don't expect it was peppercorn rent, even for a 'Sister in Gloop'. The lack of takers for the UK house, despite the price drop, will have being eating into the declining revenues, and they're cutting their losses. Either that, or they've been asked to leave after dancing on an expensive hob...

Sitting on my hands, wanting to tell Uber to feck off with her PA post about friends supporting her home based business.

How dare she. She's taking money from women who want home-based businesses.

She really is s nasty piece of work.

They are still not saying if their sunscreen/ other products are cruelty free. They mention vegan which does NOT mean cruelty free too.

Jigsawpuzzle · 20/05/2019 14:39

Wow my JP bot has had an ambulance for daughter who went to resus and within minutes she is doing her bizniz. That takes parenthood to a new low.
I have only called 999 once when my DD collapsed and my mind would not have been waylaid by some poncy juice 🥤 or pills 💊

fromdownwest · 20/05/2019 14:50

PHD latest insta post is so cringe, I was actually wincing reading it.

In essence she is feeling guilty for having such a fabulous life, she is no stranger to business class beds and travel, and she can buy an apple laptop the day after hers is stolen.

Now she is trying to stay 'high vibe'

Does she not write this tripe and read it back, and see that she comes across as an entitled brat?

Twentytwentyhindsight · 20/05/2019 15:20

@fromdownwest - She is getting lazy- that is exactly the same post she put out in FB on 22 April...

And she has since gotten over the guilt of being 'born into privilege', because people like her 'owe it to the world to be as prosperous as they possibly can', so fleecing less well off people to fund her lifestyle is fine
because, well, she deserves it...

JasperRising · 20/05/2019 15:38

I hadn't registered that now repeated post by PHD bot. I wonder if she also knows these threads as it is prime law of reaction given the comments on here about her usual failure to acknowledge her privilege and its role in allowing her to build her business with a safety net in place.

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 20/05/2019 15:40

Lol! I see our friend has commented on PHD bot's Instagram post asking about her visa 😁

MLMsuperfan · 20/05/2019 16:02

Anyone who uses a "Dr" title outside of the context in which it is relevant (academic presumably in her case) is a pretentious tool.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 20/05/2019 16:11

She is the most vacuous, narcissistic and entitled of the lot, academic qualifications notwithstanding.

Outside of Botland, she's a joke. She also knows this, hence the switch to dōTerra when the FL gravy train hit the buffers.

Imagine if someone who had genuinely put in the graft to build a real business went to her for professional advice... what a shallow pathetic fraud.

fromdownwest · 20/05/2019 16:21

I’d love to see her actually put to test as a real business coach. Do some cash flow modelling, draw up contracts, increase productivity (without positive affirmations)

She’s be taken to town in a second by most business owners and exposed.

Her arrogance for me is the worst in the MLM bots on display.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 20/05/2019 17:13

Don't forget the Tarot cards @fromdownwest. That is what makes her advice worth thousands...

spanfan · 20/05/2019 17:25

She's an entitled fool.

"I'm so lucky, don't hate me," I cringe worthy and will only alienate people

Good. Can't stand the woman. Waxing lyrical about empowering women in her bikini. Tool

gotmychocolateimgood · 20/05/2019 17:50

And then she likes all her own posts! Who does that?!

TheHorseOnSeventhAvenue · 20/05/2019 18:22

I do wonder if the old guard still getting cheques and the change is actually clever.

Bloodsucker and Uber are recruiting and playing at being in an exclusive club; all yummy mummies and decent household incomes. These recruits can easily spend a couple of grand a year on overpriced shit and find a few friends who will do the same.

For them, playing business babes and being in the club is fun and the funds are there. Tupperware and Amway were definitely targeted at those who could afford it.

I suspect downfall was not just social media. The Yawn’s, Castle’s etc would recruit anyone who could scrape together £200 to buy the biz in the box. These people cannot afford the monthly spend so are just churned.

Higher fall out won’t matter to sexy rexy and family; if saturation hits and they’ve milked the market it’s a job well done.

So my original, if badly-explained point, suggests why the carve up for the old school bots this year.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 20/05/2019 18:28

There is merit to that point @TheHorseOnSeventhAvenue, although, on the latter aspect:
Yes, FL will quite happily exit the UK market when it's been milked dry. A few statutory redundancy payments for their salaried employees is all that it will cost them.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 20/05/2019 18:37

(Sorry, previous post was posted before it was complete)
In the meantime, while they're still extracting money from the market, they can almost separate their business into two: the 'made' bots, who are proper rich and can tap into the 'hobby' market of their equally minted acquaintances; and the increasingly desperate 'I thought I was made' bots like Yawn et al. Who will pull out all the stops to draw in the last few potential mugs who will part with £200 for the business in a box before falling off the radar.
FLP know the business is dead on its arse in the UK, but they can hoover out a few more quid, at no risk to themselves, before finally pulling the plug.
