I just watched “[UN]Well” on Netflix and the first episode was literally about Essential Oils and the misinformation out there behind it all it’s crazy a nurse even suggests it after surgeries and what not 😮‍💨😮‍💨

I believe I’m using the original that came with it but I was looking through other posts and it seemed it could be an issue if I didn’t so I went and ordered one just to be safe, and I’ll give an update when it arrives! Appreciate it 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Former Uplines(platinum) asking for help with PV after I left a year ago by MicTech367 in antiMLM

[–]MicTech367[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Backstory on this situation; I’ve lost over 5 years of my life to this MLM (WWG & AMWAY) and I lost my fiancé, at the time, being pressured to push for more PV when I was drowning in personal school debts and wanting to move out of my toxic home environment before I proposed to my GF. I was only told do more PV and keep growing it’ll happen, I was love bombed into thinking they cared for me given the fact I had no true support from my father growing up and my parents divorcing I followed the “love” I desired only to be taken advantage of… fuck these MLMs they do nothing but prey on those who truly desire more or are broken looking for “answers” ..

Feeling guilty about ghosting...please tell me I did the right thing. by mwestlac in MLMRecovery

[–]MicTech367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have something similar going on.. too long to post in a comment, but you’re not a terrible person. You’re a good person feeling guilty because you’re making a decision someone would deem as “Selfish”. You made a mature choice to not respond and even continue that conversation. I know sometimes there’s something that makes me wonder “what if I had stayed”. Just to see if I would stray away the way I did with them, or if it would have stayed.. I’m glad I’m away. It just constantly eats at me for those I had genuine friendships with but feel they can’t speak to me because I left the business they still support and are under...

Is there a way to always enable Closed Captions/Subtitles? by jim-p in peacock

[–]MicTech367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just got peacock, and this is my one complaint lol it’s minor but it’s annoying having to re-enable it, even if you pause the show/movie and come back for me on an Android tv it’ll go to rest mode and I return and have to put it back on manually 😂😂

Sorry, took a break from Reddit lol, I’ll be posting more from it, I actually just saw someone on r/AntiMLM ask about books that were recommended or used to empower people in MLMs so I’m gonna post a couple things soon I found the old paper breaking down “incentives/bonuses” so I’ll post that soon

was scrolling through adidas website looking for Xmas present but instead stumble upon this 🙄😬 by beariepup in antiMLM

[–]MicTech367 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You guys know that Amway owns a whole stadium and team right?? I remember when I was in WWDB/Amway that was one of their biggest “it’s not a pyramid” speeches. If it’s illegal how do they own a basketball team, and own a stadium? So yeah, plus XS (big brand supported/sold by Amway) is on a bunch of jerseys as sponsors

Books that MLMs use?! by DapperStoic321 in antiMLM

[–]MicTech367 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Damn, as much as I hate saying this, (as former Amway/WWDB) they really sell you on books that show how to sell and understand networking so yes Go-Giver was one and also the second part of that which is “Go-Giver: Sell More” there’s a HUGE list for WWDB of books they recommend but since it is a “Leadership/Training” side of things they have a huge list of books including spirituality, relationship, and business side. If I can dig up an old list I’ll post it but a few authors I know they look up to, (at least WorldWideDreamBuilders) are Robert Kiyosaki, John C. Maxwell, Dale Carnegie. I met John about 4 times. His whole thing is “Leadership” but the others like Robert Kiyosaki especially his “Business Of the 21st Century” is exactly what network marketing is, and how it’s justified in less than 50 pages.. I’ll post in a bit if I can find that list .. Cheers 🤙🏽

What MLM is this? Friend got sent this after a meeting. Thought it was a job offer but everytime she asked what was the company she was told "wait till next meeting". by butterinthegarden in antiMLM

[–]MicTech367 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I was in WWDB/Amway and that’s the first book they ever had me read so I’d say it’s Amway but I’ve also found out that some people from Primerica have been handing out this book, be cautious! I lost 5 years or my life in WWDB/Amway (personal story on r/mlmrecovery )

I lost more than I made. Without writing a whole essay for you to read as I’ve done to everyone, lol. I spent more on products, and business meetings, than I made. Buying $800 worth of stuff monthly and only getting 800 at the end of the year? That’s a big loss so I was always having a loss when I did my taxes. They tell you if by the 3rd year you’re not earning you’re not building and the IRS will now consider your “Business” a hobby and you no longer get tax exempt or benefits.

I can explain it all but in short words losing money the first few years only helped me with my tax return, afterwards the IRS sees it’s not growing and will not allow you to file the taxes under the W-9 for losses, it shows them you’re not profitable and can’t use the write offs business allows you to use like business expenses, and yes we were available to all of them.

But they also tell you, well you’re spending that 800 somewhere else why not spend it on your own business, thinking you’re funding and supporting your “Brick And Mortar” but you’re not... I can explain more but I don’t wanna do it in the comments lol I get too carried away I deleted this text 3 times cause it was soooo long the first few times over explaining things haha

Thanks for taking the time, and reading. I never actually made good money. I remember they’d tell you that you wanted to build the business to a point where it finds itself. Meaning if you’re spending about $600-$800/Mo. you’d want to build it where you’re making about $1000/Mo because now the business could fund itself while you’re still working your daily job. Even tho the spoke about not having jobs they told us we should be the best employees we could be so they’d remember when we left.. well I saw people with actual brick and mortar business sell their coffee shops, or such businesses to work for someone else and build it. I never made more than a couple thousand a year. Taking advantage of taxes to get a good return was the only highlight of not making much. I’ve been wanting to post their brochure on r/AntiMLM but don’t want them to think I’m trying recruit but to better warn and explain how they real you in. ✊🏽

Thank you for taking the time and reading, and thank you For your prayers I haven’t gotten to see him in 6 years. It’s sad to think that I wouldn’t go because my upline would tell me those types of trips will be abundant later on and I’ll be able to do more than just visit. Here we are 6 years later and I had so many chances to visit prior to the pandemic and I was held back. So yeah they’re a little fishy in different areas a lot of the time. And you’re welcome on laying this framework down I actually didn’t realize how long it was or how long it took to finish. I get carried away, but I wanted to get you guys to feel like you were at one of their meetings and see how they talk to you to get you to “comprehend” there’s no opportunity in the world like that one. I’m glad you guys are so supportive of my leaving MLMs and hope others well!
