Re: Impressions: ACN Scam Multi-Level Marketing

So am I right in understanding that I should sell 1 bottle of shampoo to my friends at £20 each just so I can accrue points? And encourage people down my chain to do the same so they can accrue more points, but more particularly more points for me so that I can reap the benefits of this "amazing opportunity"?

What demonstrable difference is there between this £20 shampoo and the £2 they can get from their local shops?

Haha. Some people have more money than sense. Sure.

Rikk, how can you be serious in doing anything in life when you get to a business event that might have the potential to change your life an hour late. To me straight away it shows me how your work ethics are and mindset. Trust me with that mindset and negativity you can never ever succeed in life. Good luck to you but remember some people depend on you like your family as a role model to success. If you don't take a chance in life on opportunities and the risk that might come with it then you will remain a miserable individual that will only be miserable because you are not prepare to take that bold steps and risk but are only prepare to question other peoples success. But you know what that is selfishness to yourself and people that look up to you. Am a very successful network marketer and a legency am living behind for my children and family. ACN and few other MLM alike are not a pyramid scheme. Pls go and do your research very well on what actually a pyramid scheme is because i can see you really don't know. Change your mindset!!

In short: a big resounding SCAM.
I'm not convinced you read this post in its entirety and just skipped all the way down to the comment section judging by the questions you asked.

Yes, I am aware of MLM. Its business model is based on a pyramid scheme that makes its profits from members repeatedly buying goods that are ridiculously over priced you will have to be stupid to buy them in the first place or have no care for money. The allure of "I need to purchase enough to accumulate points to get to the next level so my commission rate becomes higher" makes them susceptible to getting milked by members above their chain. What they do with the products they buy (whether to sell it on or use it themselves) becomes entirely irrelevant. I talked about the ridiculous capital investment required for dubious products that offered no evidence that it is a better substitute to other well-known, tested and effective products in the open market.

In short, this model relies on preying on gullible people, jaded by the promise that they too can make money, when all they're doing is get their friends and family trapped in the unsustainable money grabbing scheme.

Rikk, I stumbled across your blogg above quite by chance. Are you saying ACN is just a scam and people cannot make money from it or are you saying it is a difficult business to do? Have you ever herd of multi-level marketing. They all work in the same way. What you might have missed out is the bit where they told you that the business is not for everyone, but do not steal other people's dreams from them with this drivel full of factual inaccuracies.
If you wanted to start any form of business, would you not require startup capital? Would you not go out and look for clients / customers? How is ACN or any other multi-Level market any different?

Cheers buddy. I wished my site hadn't crashed and my original posts didn't get deleted, you would have probably enjoyed the amount of extra details there.

Good luck with your Ph1 wherever that may be and remember, at times when it becomes really difficult, that you can and you will finish it. :) Cheer each other up and get each other through.

All the best, mate.

This looks like a very complete vacation! It is always nice to go back to your childhood's roots to share some good memories.

I saw him in the BBC drama Being Human and as a guest in Doctor Who & Sherlock. I grew very fond of him since.

All the best for this brave undertaking!

Yeah. Not knowing who I was, where I was and what I was going to do were definitely big reasons why I didn't see myself being with anyone. Now that I seem to be getting a direction in life, I feel ready to be dipping my toes in this murky world of romance. *shrugs*

Ha! He is quite an eye candy! I've never really noticed British accents until they're surrounded by a bunch of Americans. I can now understand why it sounds outlandishly pleasant.

Personally, I do like the slow pace of it. Taking time to see them live their everyday life is enjoyable even if (as you describe) some situation are a bit exaggerated.

Oh, and Russell Tovey <3 <3

I could have write the exact same thing. I comfort myself by telling that I have to figure out my working path first, but it is still heavily sad to be always alone...

Wow, this is quite an intense and dramatic story! Hopefully it ended well for you. I do hope you don't have too many aftermath of the trauma.

Even if you didn't have a straight forward path to get where you are now, in the end the important thing is to wake up everyday knowing that you'll like what you'll do in the day. And it is great if you are happy with where you are right now!

Shame on you for using that hashtag! :-p

Re: 31 Days Journal: Day 3 Put on Weight

le_tauri — Tue, 04 Feb 2014 09:19:40 -0000

I thought about the very same subject yesterday. The funny thing is I made the same observations about my weight and it looks like we have quite the same metabolism. So, in an ideal world I should do exactly what you are describing.

But I thought I have a more “urgent” goal to fulfil so I went with the topic I posted yesterday ;) Maybe Burger King & Co. will be your friends for this challenge? Good luck to you anyway and maybe you'll motivate me to do the same !
