@OhMyGiddyAuntI think that’s exactly what’s happened and she has had to style it out.

I think the mentions of FL products are an attempt to cling on in some form to something she really still wants to be part of as it’s the only hope she thinks she’s got of clawing back the 2015 lifestyle. Uber and Yawn's own behaviour have scuppered her FL
career and chance to dress up as a bmble bee.

No Barcelona freebie unless Mr yawn saves pennies from his real job.

Sugarplum48 · 04/05/2025 21:15

Anyone else noticed how yawn has suddenly stopped with the weird gems in the bra crap? That was short lived.

definitelynotabot · 04/05/2025 21:50

It is really, really weird if she was there for the rally and just hasn't mentioned the rally at all..

OhMyGiddyAunt · 04/05/2025 22:09

Why is Headband banging on about joining her and FL in South Africa next year?
I thought someone on this thread said it was in Dubai next year 🤔

If you'd like to be part of something truly incredible and you're ready to find out more, my diary will be back open from Tuesday... Let's chat..or meet up for a brew if you're local
You could even join me in South Africa next year!!

Obviously failed Geography GCSE. Has she mixed it up with Durban? 🤣🤣

There’s a snap of them on an open topped bus. The people around them have yellow lanyards on. So yes she was there on a “freebie” but not one reference to FL. How funny. Although I think I would have totally skipped all the bullshit and spent time sightseeing, to be fair.
She totally sold it to her new followers as a romantic getaway. All that crap about manifesting it.

That is just so odd. What's going on?

YouOKHun · 04/05/2025 22:58

“Disclaimer: Individual results may vary. Forever makes no guarantees on income or success. Your success depends on your effort, commitment, skill, and leadership abilities, and how effectively you exercise those qualities. Please see Forever's Annual Income Disclosure Statement at foreverliving.com/income for more information”.

This is the income disclosure Mrs Boring Name has started using after the FGR. To my mind the disclaimer should be much clearer about the chances of success within the disclaimer (not hidden a few clicks away) and should not name the reasons for not succeeding as being down to the individual. As long as the disclaimer is not specific about the typical success and outcome then Mrs BN can continue to say what she does in the quotes below. (Both posts have the disclaimer). The disclaimer should be more like this:

“Disclaimer: results may vary. 89.9% of those participating in Forever Living do not earn income through their participation in this multilevel marketing scheme. Research show that 99.6% of participants in multilevel marketing schemes do not make any income from their participation once their costs are factored in.”

Anyway Mrs BN obviously thinks that popping the disclaimer on her post cancels out anything she claims or implies. This is today’s output:

“Do you receive an annual bonus? Is it uncapped?
Is it delivered like this? This family just picked up the largest cheque in the world, then got to press the big red button to deliver texts to 600 people telling them what they'd got!”

and:

“There are people earning average annual salaries on a monthly basis, there are people receiving annual bonus cheques which far exceed average lifetime earnings. Of course these are the elite at the top, but guess what, ANYONE can choose to be one of those elite. You don't need qualifications, you don't need an impressive CV, noboby decides how much you're going to earn, nobody decides if you're going to be thrown on the scrap heap; it's all down to you. Where else is that the case?
This is a residual income, where the investment is your time. A pension you have to pay huge sums of money into for not a great deal back; imagine paying in time and getting paid on that time from several different countries, over and over and over again and be still be able to will it to your loved ones.
Thousands of people join Forever believing it to be a get rich quick option, fanny around with it and achieve three fifths of five eighths of bugger all BUT that's a them problem not a Forever problem. I have met more people than I can recall over the past week who have been paid month in, month out for decades and been on upwards of 20 fully paid for trips. I'm here to tell you, it's is hard work, it can be frustrating and disappointing but the rewards are out of this world for those who don't fall at the first hurdle, for those who are willing, hungry and coachable and want to build a remarkable future for themselves and generations to come!”

So I’m guessing Yawn qualified for GR but took the flights and the hotel room and just did her own thing? TBF I’d want to avoid synchronised screeching in a rugby shirt so fair play to her.

Angrymum22 · 04/05/2025 22:21

I think she is referring to EMR26 Eagle Manager retreat not the Global Rally. Either way she won't be there so none of her downline will be joining her. Just like Paris "Unfortunately I couldn't be there" , no you were there headband because you didn't qualify and probably couldn't afford pay to play and make up bumblebee numbers.

Looking at the Rally page one of the included activities for "Free" was a hop on hop of HOHO City Tour. Also there was a one hour Seine Cruise included. I think this is probably whats she's on. You needed a wristband to utilise these tours so she must have registered for the global rally to receive this wristband.

I don't blame her for not participating in the Rally and just spending free time in Paris but we all know this isn't how shes spun it, hardly the "One Team, One Goal" ethos Scamodopulus has mandated. Be interesting next year if indeed she qualifies at all.

Spongebobette · 05/05/2025 11:47

Unfortunately I couldn’t be there’

😂😂😂

after 11 years grifting away she can’t make it to the Global Rally even when it’s a train ride away and even as a non qualifier?

UnPetitCochon · 05/05/2025 11:48

Well spotted with the yellow lanyards. I didn’t even notice so had to go back to look.

Just seen she’s put up a post of a slow motion video of her blowing on a dandelion! WTF?! 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 She’s really scraping the barrel for new content to post.

YouOKHun · 05/05/2025 13:10

Yawn: ‘I am very science based on the law of attraction’. 😂

Also a little stealth boast about receiving money for “work I did last year” and of course, surprise at how much it was. The reality is that what she received is her last cheque and it will not have been the finale she wanted, especially after all the work she put in with her daily income opportunity lies.

The airbrushing that Headband has done on her husband's 'after' photo is next level awful

YouOKHun · 05/05/2025 14:23

@dickiedavisthunderthighswhat’s in that stuff?! It’s melted Mr Headband’s eyebrows.

interesting post from Ms S about what’s been going on at FMW (the quiet shutting down of the UK company and other shenanigans). Just had a look at Soft Focus bot and she seems to be doing a bit of diversification so perhaps the writing is on the wall (and it doesn’t say Live Love Laugh) and Soft Focus is worried. She has only been in her mega bungalow for 18 months but has probably chucked away the removals boxes which was probably a mistake as she may need to move into one of them.

Ooh I’m going to be checking up on my FM bots when I get home, one has posted a ‘worried’ status so far

PieonaBarm · 05/05/2025 15:25

I keep getting FL posts on my FB feed, some from Bots, both UK and abroad, but also some from FB. This has just popped up, it seems they’re bringing the goalposts in to get more Supervisors and Managers. The writing is on the wall…… (I’ve had to copy and paste it as it’s full of emojis!)

Super Exciting Policy update To all our EX FBO's and Aspiring FBO'S... I STILLL CANT BELIEVE THIS

You can now move to Supervisor level with only 10CC "Team Performance) in ONE MONTH IMAGINE an insane drop from 25CC to a Whooping 10CC our company really puts people first

You get to claim your 38% profits immediately

That's not all "ASSISTANT MANAGER is no longer 75CC over 2 months, it has also dropped to 60CC's over 2 month.... BENEFITS REMAIN THE SAME I still can't believe this

So if you are an EX FBO it's time to come back home or if you have been watching me and would like to join my team Doing Forever has never been this simplified before

definitelynotabot · 05/05/2025 15:39

Bloody hell, that says everything, doesn't it.

10cc one month vs 25cc over 2 months....

Desperate times.

Trouble is, this is going to impact Managers' incomes negatively. I wonder how long it will take them to realise that?

definitelynotabot · 05/05/2025 15:59

.... and so what's the merchandise deal Yawn mentions? Another MLM? More sticky patches?

YouOKHun · 05/05/2025 16:18

@definitelynotabotPushing the “new” FLP wellness system (that was mentioned by that woman on stage at the FGR)? It can’t be the Herby Band Aid as she brings too much negativity and not enough sales. She still needs FLP and she is endlessly banging on about her weight loss again so I think it’s all about clinging on to FLP however precarious.

OP posts:
Contraryjane · 05/05/2025 16:33

I think she looked happier before the weight loss.

This really smacks of desperation and coming straight after the global rally it feels like the UK has been given targets to meet which they can’t under the previous CC arrangements

But this won’t solve the fundamental problem, which is that it’s increasingly hard to get people to sign up for this ‘business opportunity’ - either because people are being more careful with their money or because because they Google the ‘opportunity’ and come across threads like these

Or sell the products, which are way overpriced

I really hope we have prevented some ‘prospects’ from signing up

OhMyGiddyAunt · 05/05/2025 17:34

There's just so much chaos, movement, jumping ship etc going on at the moment within MLMs.

Remember girl twin mum (ex-physio, mega fit)? She left FL maybe around a year ago and went to a travel one, she now seems to abandoned that (or put it on the back burner at least) for a property thing (MLM?).

Ex-cabin crew who left FL with her seems to still be with the travel one
