Only Wig n Sleaze would be trying to entice people into a travel MLM when the whole future of the industry is under threat from a global pandemic 🙄

To be fair PHD doesn't specify in the black or in the red Wink

With the bonus cheques and high earnings during the boom, I can see how that would be possible.

It would be less than $500k would be now as the good old GBP is a lot weaker now than it was at the height of the boom.

Of course it will all be gone.

acatcalledjohn · 04/05/2020 16:28

$500k in AU$?

And presumably that's turnover. If we count an average of 15% commission that is 75k profit.

In Ozzy money.

How many years has she been in "business"?

BovvyDazz · 04/05/2020 16:30

I’m not sure -$500k (£63k) a year For 6 years before tax and expenses is anything crazily high for a PHD student. No automatic sick pay, holidays, pensions as self employed, no safety net. I’ll stick with my J.O.B I think.

Andpiglettoo · 04/05/2020 17:06

PHD’s maths still not quite adding up. If you remember she was making a 5 figure income every month for 4 years - that would be £480k sterling, not forgetting the bonus cheques on top. Since leaving she has set up another 6 figure business and had her best year ever!

Surely to make £120k per year from FL she would have had to be turning over almost treble that.

If she has turned over $500k in 6 years that’s $83 000 per year or about an average of £63 000. I rather suspect that’s gross turnover so in her FL years income would be about 35% commission minus expenses, trainings etc. Probably about £20k averaged out - a couple of boom years and then sod all.

Would you take business coaching advice from someone who has such a loose understanding of their financials and is so inconsistent?

GoldenKelpie · 04/05/2020 17:07

funky apparently he has married himself Grin.

fromdownwest · 04/05/2020 17:23

Well, maybe HMRC may be reviewing her Facebook Profile, and look to claim some of those earnings back?

funkylittleboatrace · 04/05/2020 18:32

@GoldenKelpie he changed his status to married to keep all the " begs" away... The man makes up his own language.😂

JasperRising · 04/05/2020 19:32

I thought Homeschool got booted by head office (because totally your own busines right?) But now she made the decision to walk away?

Spongebobette · 04/05/2020 19:34

It was the classic ‘you’re sacked’ ‘you can’t sack me, I resign!’ scenario

Spongebobette · 04/05/2020 19:35

She needs serious help with her hair

CodenameVillanelle · 04/05/2020 19:47

Homeschool is rewriting history. I watched some of her latest live and she was saying 'yes I know people will say you didn't leave f you got terminated but I was literally going to quit the week after they terminated me and they terminated me because I was going to quit' yeah nah

Spongebobette · 04/05/2020 20:04

The absolute desperation in her eyes

BSintolerant · 04/05/2020 20:05

Why did Homeschool get sacked? I can’t remember! She must’ve felt she was in an impossible situation being sacked by head office when she was running her own business. Grin

Mr Homeschool has been asked if his programme is good for children and he’s not saying no but telling the mother to decide for herself. I wonder if he’s insured? (For practice with adults or children). I suspect not.

Spongebobette · 04/05/2020 21:10

My god he blethers on and on

Can’t watch a whole video but in his latest he claims to know more than the ‘professionals’ including judges and detectives and therapists.. and that he can spot all the signs of you needing help by looking at pics you post, language you use and what you don’t post

He’s read an NLP book I think

acatcalledjohn · 04/05/2020 21:15

@YouokHun He would need to be DBS checked to work with children, surely?

YouokHun · 04/05/2020 21:41

My understanding is that it is mandatory to have an enhanced DBS if you plan to work with children or vulnerable adults. There are ways of getting an enhanced certificate if you’re in private practice as usually an employer does the enhanced version for you. There are also safeguarding and data protection boxes that have to be ticked and specific insurance mandatory which states who you’ll be working with (age group), using what modality and whether it’s groups, couples, individuals on or offline. Normally a lot of this can only be sorted if you are trained and accredited with certain bodies. He doesn’t mention training, he doesn’t have any T&Cs, he doesn’t mention insurance, he doesn’t adhere to an ethic code (Grin ... he’s on very dodgy ground even with adults if something goes wrong and even dodgier ground with children.

Spongebobette · 04/05/2020 22:02

Honestly he sets my spider senses tingling, that one

Duvetday8 · 04/05/2020 22:09

Why was homeschool sacked?
