@SycamoreGap

Is Far-Off Travel an MLM. Message on our local FB page is making my suspicious. I can’t find much about it online.
A quick search shows it to be part of Inteletravel, quite an active agent on Facebook by the look of things.

Do you think anyone has ever bought someone a FL “business” for Valentines ?

Spongebobette · 13/02/2021 18:53

..... and are still in a relationship?

The pandemic means we're indeed far-off travel.

If my OH bought me a FL business in a box that box would be firmly shoved up his arse

... sideways? Grin

I think buying the “gift” of a non-business from Forever Living to mark a special occasion could pass the test for Unreasonable Behaviour on a divorce petition. There should also be an option to name the shill in question so they can pay the petitioner’s costs.

Salon (moved to Spain, doing coffee mlm, hope I have the right name) has quit.

So after a few messages and concerns I thought I would address a few things..

As of Feb12 I made one of the biggest decisions of my career so far.
So many feelings overwhelm me as I write this…

I feel incredibly blessed and grateful to have found something that I called home for such a huge part of my life, to have met the most incredible people and to have experienced what I have.. I started one girl and came out another ❤

Of course, I feel sad & emotional but at the same happy & aligned.. I genuinely thought this day would never come but times change and with growth comes different missions.

Over time I felt my direction take another road to the one I was on and I became so empty, iv not felt myself for sometime and iv soul searched for a while! For anyone who knows me, knows I’m mr motivator, the crazy one high on life..

Moving to spain has really opened my eyes to life and living in the moment.. being happy and passionate.. the truth is I lost myself & iv noticed such a huge difference in ME!! I miss the butterflies, the 24 hr days training, the liveliness and the changing lives.

A few days ago I left behind a huge income, memories upon memories, a fab system/company and some of the best girls in the industry who I have built a sisterhood with and who will always remain a huge part of my life…

Business decisions never come easy but following my gut is something that’s always lead me to massive success..as iv always stated and truly 100% believe, my instinct is my guide from above and I listen regardless how scary.
It knows best and serves me well

I can’t thank my customers, following, support, team, and now previous company for giving me the most insane 4.5 years.. hitting massive positions, travelling the world and achieving some ridiculous goals but its time for me to find my fire and reignite the craziness 🙂

Heres to a adventure, fresh starts and happiness ❤

Bluewavescrashing · 14/02/2021 07:47

Victims of Valentus on Facebook is an interesting read! Salon features on one of the posts. She put herself forward as a hero for giving the opportunity to people. Comments are scathing.

LibyanFeet · 14/02/2021 07:48

What’s gone wrong and who does she think she’s fooling?

CompleteBarstool · 14/02/2021 08:22

Wasn't there some talk a while ago that Salon was actually running away from someone or some situation when she went to Spain?

CodenameVillanelle · 14/02/2021 08:23

As if people leave thriving 'businesses' where they are making loads of money for 'new adventures' because they 'weren't aligned'
Homeschool pulled the same lines and she was bankrupted by her 'business'

CompleteBarstool · 14/02/2021 10:06

The bit of her post that made me laugh was "For anyone who knows me, knows I’m mr motivator, the crazy one high on life.." ....I knew she seemed high on something during her lives but I didn't think it was life!

I can't even remember which MLMs she's been through and which of the amphetamine-like weight loss products she was pushing most recently. Anyone know?

Bets on where she's heading next?

Spongebobette · 14/02/2021 10:07

Yeah but 'alignment' 🙄

SSDGM · 14/02/2021 10:16

Salon has been Valentus for years. She lost a lot of weight after her last child was born and put it all down to the coffee and crap even though the legal stuff has zero ingredients that would do anything more than Nescafé.

Surely if she had some amazing passive income going on she could just sit back and let the fro pay roll in? It’s willable income, isn’t it? 😂

She’s obviously taking her downline and moving elsewhere. My thoughts are Jeunesse or Inteletravel.

Bluewavescrashing · 14/02/2021 10:19

Quite a comedown, literally. I wonder if she'll keep the weight off once the speed-laced coffee runs out. I'd hazard a guess she has a few spare packs lying around for the purposes of meeting sales targets though.

LibyanFeet · 14/02/2021 10:24

About five years ago I remember her bragging about how she was going to retire in five years time. Looks like that turned out well.

She also said that lots of people in network marketing had retired and were living off residual income. If you can name someone who’s doing that I’ll eat my big toe.

Joinmyteam1 · 14/02/2021 10:35

Salon was in Jeunesse and Lifetree . She notably stayed in Lifetree took a bribe to say all was ok .. when other leaders were leaving cause they new it was folding .. sure some bribe to keep her in the top of valentus too but probably dried up as the business has shrunk so much . Definitely in Spain hiding . Probably trading standards minimum probably something more sinister

dickiedavisthunderthighs · 14/02/2021 11:05

My money's on Bizzcoin. She made a lot of money (bribes) with the Brothers Grim and I reckon she's heading back there again.

Sforsh49 · 14/02/2021 12:39

Salon has provided an inspirational quote in Castles ProPlanner.....

I'm sure I read a similar "going away from a successful business to new challenge" post from her when she finally left FTW Hmm. She's a piece of work, isn't she. Waiting to see where she pops up next, and with what new scam.
Bluewavescrashing · 14/02/2021 13:13

Has Salon done FL too? Impressive portfolio mlm career. Wonder how much she's lost overall. Does her hubby work?

ketosavedmylife · 14/02/2021 14:29

Very interesting, @Spongebobette. Another nail in the coffin of MLM Grin.

ArbunneHun · 14/02/2021 14:45

Bit of a coincidence that one of Salon’s closest accolades (been with her since the get go at Valentus) has posted a similar weepy-face, big decision, leaving-my-current MLM story today.

Wherever Salon is going, she’s taking the gang with her.
