Does the jackass who calls herself a “bikinipreneur” realise that she’s calling herself a bikini taker?

Watch your backs on the beach! Grin

FranceTeam · 23/08/2019 08:38

I’m not sure exactly what happened between messiah and the bikinipreneur. Probably something to do with money. She says it’s because she found out the business was fake.

One of her team did ask her if “he tried it on with her”, so who knows what really happened.

Bruv's back in Wales for a visit.

His Instagram story shows him playing with his nephew in a room full of boxes of the planners. There's one hell of a lot of stock to shift there !!

Apparently his nephew gets to choose whatever colour one he wants to draw in. Should be enough to keep him going throughout childhood and beyond!!

Anyone seen any figures for the Planner business?

Whiterangey · 23/08/2019 10:34

That is a lot of planners. The one he took was a kids one, so they predictably didn't sell well. What child wants or needs a planner?

My kids would never use one except at secondary school when they get a school one with school crap in it.

It's not like with adults when we can have different things going on in the week. 5 days a week children know what they are doing and it's the same every single week.

That really is a lot of planners. I'm guessing their sales are dwindling in line with their downlines dwindling. Some of them may be new stock for 2020 which will apparently be launching soon. On the 8th they were finishing the design, would that be enough time to get that many made?

OhMyGodTheyKilledKenny · 23/08/2019 10:59

Doubtful.

Chances are that's all last year's stock that's about to go out of date.

I got the impression the child can help himself every day or whenever he wants judging by the way Bruv asked "which colour planner have you chose today?"

FranceTeam · 23/08/2019 11:24

I noticed that top bots push paper based systems (like those planners) over excel. Is that because it’s harder to track figures in paper and if someone did use excel they might work out they are making a loss a lot quicker?

Brilliant article on the rise of Self Help Cults and their associations with MLM's

gotmychocolateimgood · 23/08/2019 12:16

I think the idea with the kiddy planners was that the kids could copy their hun mum. Very badly thought out idea. Bruv obviously hasn't thought that post through as it shows how much excess unsold stock Castle has hanging about. Opposite of attraction marketing right there.

Jigsawpuzzle · 23/08/2019 12:25

Surprised Nurse hasn’t had disciplinary for that rubbish she spouts. I would be wary about being a patient of hers.

JackDelaney · 23/08/2019 12:43

@FranceTeam

He really does come across as a wannabe cult leader and there were pictures of them all in limos and being whisked off places. I found it very odd how he hand picked specifically her to join his official launch team. He clearly wanted her for some free marketing, to hand out fliers in shopping malls to help recruit victims and then to do whatever else he could during their social time. It wouldn't suprise me if he tried it on with her as it really looked like he likes to have pretty girls in his harem.

I find her path in MLM to be fascinating. She wants to be both a trainer and also a rep...but the posts are confused and have mixed messages. She'll put out training on how to recruit but then be actively trying to recruit. Sometimes recruitment training and actual recruitment attempts are combined on the same posts.

Anyone reading her posts are going to be confused at what she actually does. She seems to be recruiting absolute nobodies into her downline, people who seem totally out of touch and I can't imagine they're going to bring her much financial reward.

The whole bikiniprenuer thing is a marketing train wreck. All her pictures are just her with her boobs on display with a holiday back drop showing off about how happy she is. She's also making bold income claims which are clearly fiction.

Very very odd.

FranceTeam · 23/08/2019 14:33

Agree, her path is odd. She signed up for TS life, spend a few weeks boasting about how great it was then dropped it within a month or so. I suspect she wasn’t impressed with the US trip as it wasn’t really that glamorous. All they did was go to some shopping malls in Hicksville areas and then be treated to a trip to Times Square, which is basically just a traffic junction. She was probably thinking she’d be in Rodeo Drive instead of the US version of the Metro Centre.

suedoname · 23/08/2019 14:36

Messiah is known for trying it on with people in his downline.

He must see something else very different in the mirror to think he can pull that off.

I suspect she knows he places people and moves people to benefit him and it's caused a problem for her own money or someone in her team.

JackDelaney · 23/08/2019 14:39

Yeah, and now she's in a travel MLM which is a complete waste of time. She's also airing dirty laundry about conflicts on her page which looks really unprofessional. Sounds like she's dealing with all sorts of crap behind the scenes. I think it's sad as I think MLM will slowly drain the life out of her. Valentus, TS Life and now travel MLMs. What a miserable MLM journey that is.

SaucySausageSandwiches · 23/08/2019 15:14

PHD has an amazing rant on her instagram stories where she slags off a potential client... way to sell spots in your course, PHD 👍

hairdyemadness · 23/08/2019 15:19

Haha guess that's £3.5k that potential client has saved then!

fromdownwest · 23/08/2019 15:26

I think it is more than that SaucySausage - I think she has some serious issues of not feeling validated and important. How dare someone treat her time with such disdain, do you not know who I am etc

She genuinely believes that her words are genius and her work of the highest quality and in demand, so if anyone were to question this, she shows her true colours.

leasedaudi · 23/08/2019 16:36

LOL that she says "do you really think I'm just sitting around waiting for your call?" When in the first part of that story she is trying to say that women in business are all like "go with the flow" and "ease" and men are all about "hustle".

JackDelaney · 23/08/2019 16:44

I think PHD is a very unprofessional and unengaging presenter. She waffles A LOT with hair playing and annoying delays and it just sounds unstructured and messy. She'll drop f-bombs at weird inappropriate moments which sound unprofessional. She'll spend ages making a point which could have been made in a lot less time which is frustrating for the viewer.

She desperately wants to be a mentor with an audience who look up to her for her inspirational and motivating content but I just think she hasn't got the personality or the stage presence to be that person.

I sound like such a hater, but if you're gonna charge 3.5k for a course then I think it's fair play to be critical of what people are going to be getting for their money.

Twentytwentyhindsight · 23/08/2019 16:54

It's not just the way she presents. She has absolutely nothing to say that would actually be of value to someone running a real business. Her constant unstructured meandering and inappropriate swearing are an attempt to mask the fact that she is spouting absolute drivel cloaked in narcissistic self-validation.

Getting (briefly) lucky in a pyramid scheme does not a business leader make...

SnoogyWoo · 23/08/2019 17:03

That rant was hilarious and she sounded unhinged!

suedoname · 23/08/2019 17:33

I've got a TS LIFE bot who posts a selfie every damn day with some attempt at inspirational bullshit.

She's all about the 'real talk' but I don't think she could handle people getting real with her about what she does.

fromdownwest · 23/08/2019 17:34

She is your typical Narcissist.

Quick google

Grandiose sense of self-importance. ...
Lives in a fantasy world that supports their delusions of grandeur. ...
Needs constant praise and admiration. ...
Sense of entitlement. ...
Exploits others without guilt or shame.

suedoname · 23/08/2019 18:20

There's so many of them.

Daily selfie, bullshit over done quote. They must waste 2 hours every morning just saying hi to each other in the comments.

I don't get what's businessey about that at all. How does that make money?

One bot admitted to someone I know she spends 90 minutes an evening coming up with her motivational spiel to post in the morning.

Real talk just announced she's made more money in TS life than any other MLM... could be a tenner for all we know!

I'm in a job, I've just got a pay rise... its the most I've ever had. Is it standard procedure to announce it on social media?

Morning Beauts! Every cloud has a silver lining! I'm giving the tax man more money woo hoo #empowerment #askmehow #NIcontributions

Whiterangey · 23/08/2019 20:23

I think PHD cornered the prospect until she agreed for PHD to contact her about oils or her stupid course. The woman is just busy every single time PHD calls to avoid her and hope she gets the message and goes away.

Sforsh49 · 23/08/2019 20:54

Nurse is shilling a FL drink high in vitamin B6 and B12. These contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Now I have a B12 deficiency, it does leave me with fatigue at a level I've never experienced before, and I've never felt so poorly when I was first diagnosed. I get a 3 monthly injection from my GP. It works. I'm guessing I should stick to that rather than pay £32.70 for 12 cans of rubbish, with no nutritional info, of which it is probably the caffeine in that reduces the tiredness!

And this is from a Nurse.....
