@BusWankersyou are right, it is bland and banal! Some of the people are ex-MLM trying to make it as coaches by selling people the formula of their supposed success in MLM, some are still in MLM trying to convince others that they are doing better than ever, it is almost always a lie. It helps to have watched them over time to see how they were hooked by MLM often because many of them entered MLM during its brief good times c.2015. A minute proportion have done very well financially from Forever, however they are all doing much less well now even if they’re at the top of the pile (Uber and Bloodsucker) but their success has come at a terrible price for many and the tactics; manipulation and bullying over the years has been pretty horrific. Others made money (though less than Uber and Bloodsucker) through lucky timing but have seen their luck dip year on year, tipping some into debt. Yet through all this they continue to try and recruit into what they say is a flexible and financially lucrative business that will also provide friendships and self esteem by the bucket load.
Doing well isn’t so much a case of talent, knowledge or or ability but rather lucky timing and a willingness to say and do whatever you can to recruit even if it means you are lying about how well it’s going for you and therefore damaging the person you’re recruiting. Castle, for instance, had a lot of family money and because she could play the role of successful she had help from FLP to further this illusion. This illusion enabled recruitment on a big scale. This industry has been dressed up as female empowerment by MLM companies like Forever with people like Castle the figureheads. But really these are the people who are the ones who were the happy to lie and manipulate, others like @JellyStarz walked away when they could see what [temporary] success in MLM would require them to do and what the reality of apparent success in MLM really was.
Castle’s time in FLP left her with an inflated sense of her own talents though her talent for lying about her success never fails and she can be found on social media every day lying about her income and how she can coach others to success.
The MLM companies encourage all of this and pile on the pressure to recruit yet are nowhere to be seen when the bot makes false income or product claims or when serious financial, so is and emotional harm is done to recruits and their families. So while it is banal stuff it is possible to recognise the lies and rewriting of history and to point this out of potential victims. The drama exists in the gap between the bots’ stories and the reality which can be seen on Companies House, in the bots’ own contradictions, in what ex-MLMers tell us and most of all in the way the MLM companies conduct themselves, managing to duck and dive and avoid being called out for the pyramid schemes they are.
It’s tricky to get all this from a post from Yawn about manifesting a pair of beige leggings and a six figure income unless you know to look at her CH accounts and know that her DH has had to return to work and have spotted the contradictions over the years. She’s by far not the only one and there are lots of examples of truth bending or lying on social media but MLM and their bots’ lies have real consequences and their conduct isn’t something normal companies and representatives could get away with for decades as they have done.
