I truly think that she was manipulated by a lady in a higher social circle than she; she sought to impress her and had never heard of R & F.

I hate that moms are targeted for manipulation in this way for expensive products with pipe dreams of financial freedom.

This is the thing that stands out to me - many of the R&F consultants I know of are in already high social circles. Their husbands easily can support their lifestyles. What about R&F is so attractive to these women and not other MLMs?

-Why does this topic keep appearing on Facebook, DCUM, podcasts, and the news? And with much criticism?

-Why do people have to buy in, in order to sell the products?

-Do you truly think people are jealous of this career choice, and that is why they are slamming the industry?

-If this career choice was so popular and lucrative, why are people still working in other jobs?

-What will happen to your product once others are selling it/purchasing it? Is there longevity there? Will the market get saturated?

-Why do some of your friends and family avoid you now? Do you have less "likes" on Facebook now?

I truly ask this in hopes that you think this through. Time and time again I see women preying on other women to sell products so they can "work from home" or be a "mom boss".

Any time a company asks me to give them money before I can sell their product is a RED FLAG. Anyone that wants me to saturate their own selling market is a RED FLAG (because they are getting a piece of your pie by signing you up under them- less work for them!!).

Please be careful and read reviews before you fall into a trap like this.

Remember World Ventures Travel MLM? Right after the bubble burst a phony friend of mine who I hadn't heard from in a year called me. Invited me to her WV party remarking how much she appreciated our friendship...wtf.
I ended up going and took a friend with me. While we were waiting for the other people to come our host asked her friend (right next to us) if she would like a drink. Never offered us anything, totally weird but I could tell my friend was offended. Anyway, first everyone ate the catered Chinese food then saw the big presentation. It made no sense, they wanted over $500. upfront to sell their vacations. Then along the way I would get a discount. I didn't see any value plus I could get better deals on cruises probably going through Expedia. After their spiel they put the thumbscrews on us to separate us from our money. I told the host I would get with my husband to see if he would be interested...and get back with her...very pushy. My friend right away whipped out her CC which shocked me to no end. Paid them the $500.00 whereby our host started generously offering us her decent wine... etc. at that point. Yep same ole phony.. The guy that did that the presentation seemed like a used car salesman, rubbed me the wrong way. He was late 40's with the skinny blonde ditz, and they came off as very fake. I ended up looking them up when I got home. He had a 1.5 million home that was in foreclosure so apparently he was a victim of the bubble and living above his means. And yes he left his wife and kid for ditz who was suing him as well. I also found out my host was in similar circumstances. (glad I didn't give them any money) About 3 days later that host called and asked me if I wanted to try the WV, I said it wouldn't work for us. Then she told me my friend had canceled the payment, and she was angry about it. I guess my friend gave her some excuse, but she was not happy! Now I understood why she pulled out the CC - lol Finally I had to end the call saying if I knew someone I would send them her way. The party was a bust, and to date WV has had lawsuits, and is nothing more than a scam.

I think a lot of these MLMs schemes attract people who are having problems. Instead of finding a decent stable job or living within their means they get sucked in somehow.

One supposed friend was so taken aback that she hasn't spoken to me in a year. Oh well.

I don't want to buy jewelry, sex toys, melted wax fragrances, dip mixes, cosmetics, home decor, plastic food storage, vitamins, oils, fabric bags, clothing from a faux friend under the auspices of a fun girl's night out in someone's house. Nope.

That’s just mean. As a friend, you should be receptive and be willing to purchase things from your friend and help her

The only help you can give is good advice. They should get a job they can make a living from, not the MLM crap.

I just like to support female entrepreneurs and woman-owned businesses. I don't like to support pyramid schemes that use predatory tactics to guilt and scam other women.

No, we just don’t like to buy stuff we don’t want or need out of a sense of guilt or duty to you.

What here is not MLM? Do you not think RF is an MLM?

I do think RF is MLM but I do not think certain other examples are.

DP. You're being evasive. It's easy to establish if a company is MLM.

Serious question: How much have you made with Beach Body so far in 2019, excluding expenses?

I’ve made a good enough amount thank you very much! I’m not sharing my income on the internet! And as I grow bigger I will certainly make more. I am working hard and just need to work harder on finding the right people in sharing this journey with me and who are interested in getting healthy, while becoming financially self sufficient

So they have to sell it too, or the plan won’t work??!?

Correct. You have to have a downline to make any decent money - you make pennies selling the actual products.

Anyone on here familiar with the local daycare administrator who has current parents on her feeds and is hawking this crap? It's so unprofessional.

Gross. Is there anyone above her to whom it can be reported?

Seriously!

Since you don't seem to know the name of the company, I'm sure you're doing JUST FABULOUSLY!
