Yawn is ‘back to work!’ (She never actually stops)

Every Sept - back to work big plans
New autumn team!
Shred for little black dress!
New Year new start!
Looking for my new Spring team!
C9 ready for summer!
Looking for my new Autumn team!
Who wants to make some money for Christmas?
Special offers for Christmas!

Ad infinitum

It always reminds me of those Scooby Doo cartoons where the background rolls by repeating itself

Lol Spongebobette - that’s about spot on with some of the TS Bots from my community! Just substitute Christmas with Eid/ family wedding!

Thanks for nurse tip off - found her…

Reading through some of the comments and perusing the profiles of some of the Bots… something struck me!

One of the higher up Asian Muslim bots (sorry if that sounds a bit funny but I’m of same background and easiest way of describing) had me wondering about certain things. She was previously pretty high up in FL and now is at TS.

She’s made a huge deal of setting up her own “mindset” business, has a candle franchise of some sort and also around last year, “published” or co authored a book about empowerment etc… I was thinking “wow - go girl!” I thought she’s clearly enterprising and bright, if only she’d let go of the MLM cult. Anyway, the thing I’ve realised is that these additional “side hustles” seem to be fairly common with some of these top bots and wasn’t something original as far as she was concerned. I wonder if it’s just part and parcel of this whole “”attraction marketing” thing to draw in more people.

I think that when they realise it’s not possible to make money in the original MLM, bots start to look for ways to diversify
Some take on another MLM
A lot seem to go for coaching/ mindset training - with zero qualifications or knowledge or training
There are a couple of totally ridiculous ones I follow. One is the husband of an ex FL top bot. They actually went bankrupt as they didn’t so much money on all the attraction marketing stuff. The wife now calls herself a success coach or something similar (irony alert) and has got into crypto Ponzis. They split up. He had a business all about raising self esteem and 6 figure mindset - filming increasingly manic videos in his small flat and driving a delivery van to make a living

The other one is an ex FL top bot who had a meteoric rise then gave it up and went to Australia, where she poses for selfies non stop and offers similar mindset training )which is complete gobbledegook)

• spent so much money

There is an actual photo on Yawn's FB of Mr Yawn taking a photo whilst standing on a chair. My day is made.

Ah shame - I’m blocked

That sounds about right…ironic that “side hustles” are needed given the consecutive six figure months!

Intriguing to hear about the role of the hubbies and partners as with the bunch I’ve been following, they’re largely absent and I do wonder what they make of it. I suspect they just don’t understand it…

Gosh, they sound like characters and part of the same theme of “fake it till you make it”. Sadly, way too much faking and not much making!

As for the gobbledegook- I googled a few of her inspirational quotes and let’s just say - they were plagiarised or very close to it. Not so impressive when you scratch beneath the surface! All about arty shots of a personal planner with coffee and “loving the dream”. Smoke and mirrors of the highest order. I’m a bit of a cynic by nature as my day job involves dealing with lots of people trying to BS and wading through it to get to the nub of things. I can absolutely see how many would get swept in…

The contradictions are also quite notable. This Bot had a baby a while back and contrary to all the “this job gives me flexibility to blah blah”, she was back at work within a couple of months of giving birth! Hmm…

*living the dream

Just saw Mr Yawn - screams “used car salesman” for some reason, haha!

Castle used to talk about working her business from her hospital bed when she had her first baby

It’s relentless, no holiday pay, no maternity leave, no sick pay, no pension
Just non stop efforts to recruit the next lot of victims

@AnnaLise84 I suspect some of the husbands, if they have proper jobs, are subsidising the bots

Oh my goodness, that just makes me shudder! Knowing how important that period was for me personally just to devote 100% to my little ones.

Relentless really is the word! I don’t know how the likes of Messiah and wife sleep at night doing what they do…

So Mr Yawn's 50th celebration big weekend consisted of a walk with the dog, Yawn making a few mohitos at the Thatch, a roast dinner down the local pub, a few supermarket cakes and if your on Insta a photo of him tagged as if they are in Spain. Attraction marketing at its best!!

Ah yes have seen it

A grown man aged 50 standing on a chair to take photos of his wife making a shake

I’m sure this is what he dreamed of, growing up

The stepladder has been repossessed and they have to make do with a chair.
Things must be tight- with the gazillions she claims to be making I'd expect him to be using a cherry picker by now. It would probably also come in handy for ridding the thatch of its mange if they could afford it.

I thought that said minge 😆

I can't be held responsible for what might go through other people's minds unprompted.

No one wants a mingey thatch or a thatchy minge @Waveafterwaveslowlydrifting; you’re right to be alert to the possibility

😳

The Nurse updates on the C9 do highlight how utterly shit a plan it really is:

1. Drink at least 8 glasses of water
2. Take supplements (therm and garcinia)
3. Drink 120ml of vile gelly
4. Have a protein shake
5. Snack on free foods

I watch the updates and in my head I'm screaming at her to eat some real fucking food. It's dire.

I dread to think what her 600 cal meal was. It wasn't shared so I'm going to guess a microwave meal. It's depressing.

Not to mention the 4lb she "lost" after quite literally starving herself for two days. If losing fat from your body was that easy we wouldn't have a raging obesity problem in this country.

Mingey thatch 😆

The c9 is basically slim fast isn't it? With a couple of pointless supplements and a glass of vile gloop to make people think it's more than just starving yourself.

Plus a booklet with tick boxes to make you feel you are achieving something

Sim fast is about £1 a day?? A bottle of supplements about £3/4 for 9 days supply. So maximum £15 for the same thing...ok...

Yawn has dusted off an old school photo of children in uniform. Trying to outdo the current crop. Awaits cringeworthy minion comments. How pathetic from a grown woman .
