Botwatch 89!!!!!! MLM is dying but we are still watching and sadly there are still many victims. 99.6% of participants in these “legal” schemes lose money but they are STILL being promised the world by MLM.

New thread! Welcome to anyone who wants to be better informed about the dodgy practices of multi level marketing companies

Perhaps Uber’s sister might disagree, she was a nepo baby like uber and Ubers baby sister and all she got was a shitty yoga mag cheque.

Uber and Bloodsucker signed off on keeping a bigger portion of the chairman’s bonus for themselves but Ubers cheque value continues to drop

Yawn's decided that she was a 'functional alcoholic' and is offering advice in her new fitness group, which is very fucking dangerous to say the least. Also interesting that her new website is a Canva job, and not through her bestest bizniz partner Techie...

She seems all in with the weight loss (and now sobriety) and isn’t mentioning BuildaBear much

Clearly buildabear wasn’t building her bank balance

@dickiedavisthunderthighs it looks like Techie has been sidelined doesn’t it? All I can see on Insta is the 666 club and she seems to have abandoned the FB business page.

Dangerous advice indeed.

Dangerous advice indeed

Absolutely, alcoholics shouldn't just stop or cut down and anyone wanting help giving up alcohol needs to go through their GP, they're playing with fire on this one, all she cares about is how much money can be squeezed out of it until she moves on again..

I was just wondering what angle Yawn has left to tap into next when people get bored of the "functional alcoholic" one?

My prediction is relationships.

Just because she's been married to the spineless sap which is Mr Yawn for 20(?) years she will believe that she's qualified to coach and advise on the perfect marriage!

Uber consumes quite a lot of alcohol. I wonder did yawn mention something which might explain the freezing out.

I’m all for people cutting their losses if something isn’t working and moving on - however it’s concerning for those who have paid subscriptions if any support or actions just suddenly stop - I’m not seeing those regular club zooms and collaborative support she banged on about - problem is you can offer ‘too much’ in the race to get some cash in and if it goes pear shaped are stuck with delivering it or letting people down or people feeling ripped off . I was dealing with a Kickstarter campaign many years ago where an artist did exactly this to raise maximum money and once the money was in simply lost interest in all the ‘follow through’ - it was an absolute nightmare to sort and taught me a big lesson - don’t put things in your own name if you are reliant on others to follow through-

Yawn really needs to get a job.

Nothing worse someone being holier than thou....

Distinct lack of apostrophes on that Canva site

And just like that Yawn has posted about Buildabear on her FB! 🤣

As for all this "functioning alcoholic" stuff....really?!
I'm pretty sure she did a whole bit offering advice etc about giving up alcohol during the early days of the unlucky club.

@DeliaDeetz 5 women with 5 minutes each to promote their business apparently. This says to me that Yawn has nothing to say on the BuildaBear front but needs to provide something so needs her [paying?] members to fill up the time for her by promoting their businesses to others who are not likely customers. Alternatively she will use any audience there to bang on about her 666 Club as an example to them all of yet another of her business successes. I wouldn’t mind knowing what Technie thinks about this.

And that would mean she has to step off her pedestal and graft. She's never done a day's work in her life.

@MrsDilligaf I’m not sure that’s the case, to be frank the amount of posting she does and free calls etc looks quite hard going because she has no traction - there are plenty of jobs out there that actually do pay quite well for spending most of the day posting or taking or making calls . I am very much if the opinion she doesn’t want a normal job because she gets a buzz from feeling superior to other mere mortals by posting her fizzhog constantly and doing photoshoots etc

“Since retiring from my old marketing company of
15 years ..”

What do the following people have in common with Yawn?

Liz Truss
Prince Andrew
Gregggg Wallace
Peter Mandleson
Gerald Ratner

they all retired to the sound of rapturous applause from admiring colleagues and friends with not even the slightest whiff of trouble or blemish on their characters. They have all gone on to be universally admired.

Why is she calling it a marketing company when they call themselves the Aloe Vera company?

😊 You're quite right, all this showboating for nowt does look hard, I'd have thrown in the towel yonks ago, I'd have given up playing at having multiple businesses and scraping around for the very slim pickings.

Yawn has spent so long creating a narrative around herself of success and positivity in an exercise of self delusion. I think the prospect of being measured by someone else for her abilities minus all the glitz and finding herself low down on the career food chain is a truly frightening prospect for Yawn. The idea of earning £12.50 an hour and having to work for 35 hours a week isn’t just unpalatable, it’s terrifying. Not least because it would require her to manage harmonious relationships with colleagues and actually apply herself consistently. Let’s face it, she has been essentially unemployed for years - we just see the edited highlights, what about the rest of the time?

I meant to say, if she earned £12.50 over 35 hours she’d be much better off financially!

@MrsDilligaf me too - I don’t know why she doesn’t get a job as say a social media manager or get properly certificated and find a part time digital marketing job or something similar- she kind of does have the right sort of background and even at 20 hours could probably make£1200 a month or so - consistently !! I can’t imagine she’s getting that much more than this with all these ‘bits of things’ and probably could still do some bits on the side too - seems nuts to be

Mrs Boring Name was posting daily in LinkedIn. General vague posts about how she can show people how to make big incomes/have a wonderful life, no indication of active involvement at HQ or at events. Even her LinkedIn posts stopped three weeks ago. They’ve disappeared from the Forever Living league tables - the last mention was being in 9th place as a national biz builder in June when they were “hacked” and not a mention or photo since then on the private FBO FB page, which is odd when compared to her very in-your-face posts up until June. Their shop has closed, no other social media presence (unless I’m missing something). What really happened in the summer?! I wonder if his accounts have come under scrutiny?

Fascinating! I’d love to know!

I'm going to hedge my bets that FL have suspended them for some reason. They both still seem to have an active account if you click through to the FL shop, but the whole smoke and mirrors 'job' shop was shady as hell, and now defunct. The accounts are in fact due at the end of this month so that will get interesting.
