The Work From Home Scams , part 1.

I am going to divide this part to 2 or maybe 3 sections since lots of the online scams are referring to work from home. On this part I will analyse the "Personal Development opportunities" that numerous web sites are trying to sell to us. Companies that refer to "Personal Development" "Life Coaching" "Change Your Life" "Human Excellance University" and other catchy lines are only trying to do one thing. Make money for themselves and for a limited number of people. Companies like that are
"Liberty League International" http://www.libertyleague.com/
"Ex Navy Seals" http://www.exnavyseal.com/
"Life Path Unlimites" http://www.lifepathunlimited.com/
and numerous others are occupied with making money out of you. Their "sellers" need to create a website of their own inorder to share their experiences . In order to join their foundations you have to PAY a fee and then start selling products like :
CDs & DVDs with Personal development stories , instructions, change of life lessons.
Trips to ... energy conferences in .... exotic places !!! (Don't fall for that)
and fake opportunities in general.
These products might have some appeal to 50-70 year old people who are searching for something to spend time on and not to actual career hunters. You need to invest at least an amount of 2000Euros in order to join the companies actively and start making "profit" .
Lets explain the inevitable of the operations ...
If you accept to join them and pay the entrance fee , you become a part of a team with your leader to be the guy who introduced you. He is obviously making commision out of your money and also gets a share out of your own commisions. You only start making money when your own team, starts making sales themselves. The typical pyramid financial system that is always leading to huge crashes when it fails.
In my opinion these companies might not be 100% scam but it is a good thing if you avoid all that and keep your dignity as a person. Personal development is a personal thing and noone and nothing can lead you to be someone else. This is the reason why salesmen of these kinds of products fail.

  • DO NOT FALL BY THE AMOUNT OF PEOPLE TALKING TO YOU
  • DO NOT FALL BY THE ORGANIZATION THESE PEOPLE SEEM TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU
  • DO NOT FALL FOR THEIR CATCHY LINES & HYPOTHETICAL SUPPORT THEY PROVIDE
  • DO NOT FALL FOR THE IDEA THAT YOU WILL BE MORE SUCCESFULL BY FOLLOWING THEM OR THAT YOU WILL MAKE THE AMOUNTS OF MONEY THEY TELL YOU ...

ps. in order to join them , apart from paying the entrance fee you have to introduce to them 2 new salespeople ... these can be people really close to you that in case of failure you will be in debt to them .

BE SMART
BE INNOVATIVE
and the rest will come ....

Thank you for your time .
