Read this!
This shyt is embarassing because it taps into a segment of the population that is uneducated and knows nothing about business, or intricate complicated things, people who don't have hobbies or shyt to do, so any type of system that seems to use planning, pamphlets, interesting words, confidence etc. anything that looks remotely official and complicated they are like "oh :ohhh:so this is the life of somebody who makes money"

shyt sad as fuk:sadcam:
the bolded.

I read so many things about these companies and the fine print they use to get over on people.

I've been looking into wake up now because of this thread and veema...this shyt is SAD!!!!!

And then I found this graph with regards to World Ventures

So only 15% of people might make $40,000 a year doing this? SMH

I remember selling shoes in a department store in this woman came up to ME, outta all the other people on the floor, trying to get me to join Primerica. I'm not sure I was over 21 yet, so I guess she thought I was gonna fall for the okey doke :comeon: I got such a knack at questioning people and ripping whatever bullshyt they're trying to throw to shreds :pachaha: I don't get to use it enough. That bytch was sweating bullets, visibly shaking and shyt on some, ":merchant: I'm sorry, I don't know. You should really just speak with my manager over the phone :whoa: please speak to my manager :sadcam:." I told her I was cool with where I'm at and never saw her again :banderas:

the majority of people (there are no workers...its not a job) dont get licensed...and dont do anything...so yea in a 100% commission based business...you wont make anything...arent real estate agents and other life insurance agents 100% commission based? :yeshrug:

what ceo/owner of a nyse traded corporation isnt a billionaire? :patrice:

ive never been pressured to buy any books breh...primerica is not in any way shape or form 'get rich quick'...if anybody told you that they are lying

Those wakeupnow motherfukkers are connected to JinkiesTV on youtube. Jinkies keep uploading videos of them promoting their bullshyt on their channel, and even got nikkas from that organization at the end of the prank videos promoting their shyt.
it seems like any youtube content creator with somewhat of a following is hopping on this WUN shyt

video of the WUN conference in New York​



@1:45 - "we about to move up these ranks fast...that Global Executive spot we comin for you" :aicmon:



I just feel sorry for all the unsuspecting fans that's getting fooled into signing up for this scam.

Why don't they ever tell you what the business is about?:what: Every video I've seen is them driving around In rented luxury cars and talking about how much money they earn, yet they never tell you what the business is about or very vague about it.
fukking this. I went to these dumbass seminars a couple of times and these fukks never talked about how they actually make the money. All they talked about was how bad america is finically and talked about how this can change their life, how it isn't for everything, etc.

I'm getting sick of nikkas I went to high school with spamming my social media news feeds with their Herbalife promos and shake testimonials . Little do they know, there's dozens of MLMs pushing the same shyt. They're just branded the best . You can get a better shake plan by going into your local GNC for Vitamin Shoppe and pay less. Hell, I have several friends on the same news feed who are legit trainers with dozens of clients in their portfolio. They just :pachaha: @ the B.S. they're trying to push to people.

Get an interview to be a "wellness trainer" only realize its a presentation of their MLM scheme brehs. Sad the majority of people that attended the "interview" I was duped into going to was :flabbynsick: and didn't have the common sense of knowing better.

One of my friends in these and he swears to god he's gonna be wealthy because of them. He has so much faith in them its crazy. :why: The moment i found out he isn't even making money with them i left and never back, he even lied to me. First time i went to the introduction of what they are he told me he makes money

All the speakers there were terrible speakers with heavy accents, and my friend kept telling me how this guy make 20k/month, that guy makes 30k/month. It was all bullshyt. You can tell if somebody is really about it and these lames weren't. Guys making 20k/month yet he has a fukking 55k car? :laff: making that much yet he has some average ass Joseph a bank looking suit? These guys could barely speak english and you want me to believe these guys know what theyre saying and they know how to make it?

And again, at the seminars they never talked about how they actually make the money. One of the stupidest corniest things they said was "you know, I'm not ashamed to admit i didnt work that hard last month and i brought in over 20k" :skip:

Everything about them was unprofessional, after like the third seminar or whatever i decide to google their company. Look at a couple of reviews, and they have the reputation of being a pyramid scheme. :snoop:

Somebody needs to do something about these fukkbois. :pacspit:
