^^Yes mostly run by stay at home moms. So if you question them on the product/pricing you get asked why you hate women who are building their own careers or some shit like that. My latest favorite one is my wife's cousin who is a stay at home mom and homeschooling kids. Her oldest just started at Liberty and she decided she can't teach the younger one, so she shipped her to a christian private school. Now she posts 3-4 times a day about fucking Plexus, which she never used and has never been in shape. But all of a sudden she is sitting at home with nothing to do all day so it seems she is doing this rather than going out and getting an actual job. 10/28/2017 4:25:36 PM

Ha. I finally broke down and spent $35 fucking dollars on a pair of solid color red leggings for the holiday season. They are damn comfortable but I’m not buying any more unless someone going out of business is selling other solid colors for cheap.

The crash diet with intense workout ones are honestly worse bc it just means your body gets shocked with sudden weight loss that's easy to put back on and then you inevitably blow out a knee or rotator cuff or something, have to take a break, get sick of shakes, and gain all the weight back. And it's that yo-yo effect that'll give you a heart attack.
Just take weight loss slow. You have like 20 years. Just get in the right direction and do something sustainable. I'm down 25 lbs in 4 years from 5'9, 198 to 173 just from cutting beer down to never more than 1 a day and doing kettlebells and yoga.

As soon as you are told part of the process is recruiting more people for your "team" that should be a red flag. Granted if you are in at the beginning of one of these schemes maybe you make some money and some even make really good money but all those people you recruited who are probably your friends get dicked in the process. 10/31/2017 8:24:50 AM

Kettlebells work. If I lost much more, I'd look unhealthy with my frame. It's just muscle building now. And all you do is order one off Amazon. No recruiting. No shitty shakes.
Then drink all the bourbon you can take. 10/31/2017 11:53:27 AM

Yo, this pyramid scheme shit works if you can get past the haters and the feelings of inadequacy. I personally know people who make six figures and above in two years or less from straight hustle and the refusal to listen to others and self doubt. The thing about the pyramid is you are only successful if your recruits are successful so everyone wins?
But it’s def not for everyone. And not every product sold in an mlm is a good quality though some are unbelievably good. The only annoying thing is now everyone is selling something on Facebook so now you get a million messages from people trying to be your fake friend.
I think I’d like to be involved in one I just don’t know what product I’d like to promote, and I don’t want to be a pushy salesperson either. Ya heard? 10/31/2017 11:59:30 AM

Get one person who made 6 figures off this shit to post here and I'll apologize.

Well they don’t post on Tww but check out jaylynn Schroeder, Bonnie Engle, Amy Silverman, trey bearor (yes a dude), or Lindsay matway on Facebook. Different mlms, different approaches, all at least six figures, many millionaires. Just saying.
Will everyone have that? No. Duh. But for some it’s a dream come true. Just do your research before committing 10/31/2017 12:56:43 PM

Sure you can make money if you are the type, but what about all the people you will recruit who will end up losing money?

I don’t play the lotto. Maybe I should. I didn’t vote trump either.
Some people don’t find the 9 to 5 to be rewarding. And maybe they’ve tried doing their own business with little success. Maybe this is an opportunity that can offer them a low buy in with a lot of potential. And most reputable mlms and sellers don’t sell you on the business first. Is it an opportunity to make money? Yes but it is not a get rich quick scheme and it takes a shitton of work. You will be losing money initially as you build your business but if you stick with it and work it you can see major gains. I’ve seen too many successes to just write these off as a scam. Some are, again, use your judgement.
As far as scamming recruits who don’t make money? Many are getting a product that’s worth it. Like oils, or shakeology, or lipstick or whatever. They understand fully their success is determined by their work. As long as no one is lying and selling a pipe dream I don’t think you can say you’re scamming your team. Again, your teams success determines your success so it’s not like you just recruit numbers then bye bitch. 10/31/2017 2:24:57 PM
