I don’t believe they are her own words. She has lifted that from somewhere.
Yawn. We will not be sorry for you when you deservedly lose everything.
You are a disgusting charlatan and con merchant.

gotmychocolateimgood · 05/08/2019 17:50

Shocking. If she were successful she wouldn't need to post this!

SnoogyWoo · 05/08/2019 18:19

I think she is getting it from all sides, her team members will be saying it’s really hard to engage with people when there is so much negativity on social media. Every single one of them will be struggling like hell to grow any sort of team and it will be tough motivating them.

So, Yawn is desperately trying to persuade herself and her minions that she’s not leading a quiet life of desperation by shouting about it on Facebook. Grin

As for seeing herself as marching to the beat of her own drum, MLMs are cults. They’re full of brainwashed fools who are told to follow the same programme, post the same posts, and do what their upline tells them. As Lanzabot says in her bot training, it’s a monkey see, monkey do business.

There’s a lot of cognitive dissonance in this post. Despite what Yawn is desperately shouting about, most intelligent folk can see that individuality and original thought don’t exist in network marketing: it’s all about following the herd into debt to keep the shills, CEO and management afloat financially.

‘Lead a quiet life of desperation’

I think she means a life of quiet desperation. This is a quote from Thoreau who wrote “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” He thinks misplaced value is the cause; we feel a void in our lives, and we attempt to fill it with things like money, possessions, and accolades.

Freudian slip, perhaps, Yawn?

Spongebobette · 05/08/2019 19:05

Thought it wasn’t hers. Not enough commas.

The whole post is copied and pasted from Bloodsucker’s FB (10 June)

Lazy, lazy.

Jigsawpuzzle · 05/08/2019 19:06

Do they even read what they post. No one knows how much future you have and you can’t control your families future, you can support and hope for the best.
I did not expect my DD to move half way round the globe but she is trying to do her best for her family , like we did for them.
When the SHTF for the bots I hope their children don’t suffer the fallout.

PlasticBaby · 05/08/2019 19:47

I don't pity nurse any more. This is her second time round. She's obviously lying about her child wanting a shot on waking, having orders,etc. She knows she needs to lie to try and con others in so she can recoup her costs. She's just a less successful Yawn.

suedoname · 05/08/2019 19:59

I'm watching a bot who I know has zero team but claiming she has downline and they're all earning.

fromdownwest · 05/08/2019 20:08

I agree Plastic - These comments she makes about her 'team', the baby wanting a shot, busy with orders going in etc are not the manipulation of a vulnerable woman, but the actions of someone knowingly lying for her own financial gains.

Spongebobette · 05/08/2019 20:15

Plus she conned her cousin, who doesn’t look as though she can afford to buy 1CC a month, into joining her ‘team’

I’m really fascinated by the ‘tipping point’ in Forever Living; you start off as a starry eyed victim, being love bombed, creating your goal board and believing that your little business is going to be a success. You are honest and hardworking...... somewhere along the way you realise that you aren’t making any money by selling products so you need to entice others into the scheme..... so you start lying. It’s a deliberate decision ( as in Nurse’s case) to jettison your normal morals and honesty.
Surely you think to yourself... hang in, if I’m having to fake stuff to look successful and get people to sign up, this must mean that my upline is doing the same?

SnoogyWoo · 05/08/2019 20:45

No because the up line says you just have to fake it for a while and then you get to my stage of making the money. So they believe they are always just nearly there.

So Castle is going green with bottled milk whilst pushing products enveloped in plastic. The IRONY.

shamrockandroll · 05/08/2019 21:56

A successful MLM bot only thrives only if the following rules are observed :-

  1. The program must be believable and product must be attainable
  2. The subject must crave shiny things and live like or above the Jones's
  3. The riches must be obtainable in the shortest amount of time
  4. The work to reward ratio must be easy or doable - usually by following a step by step plan or program (do like I do - tried and tested method etc etc)
  5. Must be able to engage other like-minded people who want the same things
  6. Must have a "why" - usually children's futures, better schools, more holidays, bigger house, life security etc
  7. Access to cash to purchase product for a defined period of time
  8. Want or need recognition from others to prove or validate how well they are doing in comparison to others in their MLM or against real world people
  9. The cycle must be repeatable - rinse/ repeat
10. Ability to position yourself as a coach/sell more courses/products later on when it all fails...

The internet is full of it...

She’s going to recruit the milkman isn’t she? Nobody’s safe!

Spongebobette · 06/08/2019 07:41

It’s interesting watching these top bots, who used to have lots to post about - new team members, sizzles, new purchases- now struggle to find things to post
Milk bottles and rants about negheads? Not really attraction marketing

gotmychocolateimgood · 06/08/2019 09:09

I was wondering about the plastic issue the other day. A lot of people I know are trying to reduce plastic use,swapping shower gel for soap and shampoo for bars.

Jigsawpuzzle · 06/08/2019 09:19

Anyone noting their diaries for Nurses events. That picture of the green sachets in a plastic bag looks a bit drug dealership to me.
After watching Police Interceptors I remembered that some bots are ex bobbies. The criminals caught are not the sharpest tools 🧰 in the box and neither are the bots who don’t do critical thinking since giving up proper careers and pensions for what.
On another note with the onslaught of AI and employers being more discerning, when their offspring come to applying for jobs they can now look at the whole picture.
They already use this in China so you might be a good citizen but if a relative is dodgy you may be refused jobs, travel, loans etc.

gotmychocolateimgood · 06/08/2019 09:22

Forever need to keep up with the demand for eco friendly products but I'm sure they'll miss the boat on this one.

gotmychocolateimgood · 06/08/2019 09:23

Local buy and sell group. Bot posted 'who wants to make extra money for Christmas'? Body shop area manager. The tide has turned!

Oh god. Nurse has more 'events' planned 'from the comfort of her sofa' for no one to attend. No doubt with her PJ's on and a glass of wine.

Yawn is clearly behind this. Presumably telling her the reason she hasn't made manager yet is she's not trying hard enough.

Spongebobette · 06/08/2019 10:37

The only possible response to Nurse's invitation is the one given by Peter Cook when he didn't want to do something:

'hang on, I'll just check my diary. Oh dear, I find I am watching television that night'
