Friend trying to convince me into a Super juice business opportunity

[Ozboy]

Thanks guys, hopefully my friend should get the hint now.

I didn't think to verify any of the info he sends me. I don't want to waste any more time looking into it. Can't believe how brain washed some people can be.

Seems like the sheep mentality, no wonder we have so many dumb people out there.

Hi Siam , a few thoughts about mlm. It can be a great way to make money; one friend of mine has made tens of millions, but as is obviously for every success story like that there's so many failures that it's virtually impossible to calculate. The plans vary from company to company, and if you haven't done your homework a huge amount of effort that would have gaurenteed success with one company could easily result in less than half as much in another company. I've been involved with a number over the years, some good, some crap; but these days, and thanks in no small part thanks to amway most people give them a wide birth, and without lots of people, you've got no chance.
Cheers.

In Australia, it is against the law not only to promote a pyramid scheme, but even to participate in one.

Your right, but the point that mlm and pyramid schemes are not the same needs to be made.

sounds a bit like the FREELIFE goji juice scam. MLM scheme, juice that could even cure cancer!

Sounds like something Penn & Teller covered a couple of years ago.

Something similar happened to me about 10 years ago. I cancelled clients appointments to go to woop woop because he was a very good friend. When I got there...it was Amway. The presentation went for 3 hours. I sat through it, asked heaps of questions and learned all about networking and their sales pitch.

At the end of the night when approached (I was one of the last to leave) I said I would need to include my wife ; ring me tomorrow. Next day when they rang we declined and said our business was our focus and thanked them.

I have sinced been approached another few times by "different friends" and can pick the pitch usually in the first sentance.

None of those "friends" are in our circle anymore. I think he did you a favour and it teaches you to choose your real friends carefully.

Kind Regards

Ha ha not me.I'm involved with sugar cane growing but no retail at present.Could change if I have time to think about it and focus.

Google "Canego" they have a franchisee section on their website ( don't know who they are though)

If you are in Byron Bay try the "Canebar" ...nice little coffee bar that sells the cane juice.

It is awesome tasting .

It Hydrates so well that if you mix it with Vodka at a party you will not get a hangover ( and I'm talking the whole bottle)

It may go Ok with white run as well?

i took acai berry in 2009 and failed a drug test for opiates, i was taking nothing else at the time

Disgusting stuff that is, asian place down the road sells it (presses the cane in front of you), only finished it because I hate wasting food and money

but that could just be the place I had it from, may try again in future

The key to the drink is totally fresh cane stalks from my experience.

For the cane to get to Melbourne it would have been transported some way.The cane crops are cut from July to September...so that's the best time to buy the juice.

You can mix it with a little Lime and Ginger if the juice is too sweet.

It is a very good energy drink and goes good with Vodka LOL

Do we know the name of the product Slam was talking about?

This is the same story with Herbalife - those at the top get richer while the plebs do all the work.

Had a friend tell me she was going into - I examined all the material - financials included and advised her not to.

6 months later and $14K spent she was begging me to help her get out of it and get her money back ... LOL no chance

Did nothing to help her depression either.

These people play on the vulnerable.

It won't be long before the chain letters appear again..Just send $5 to the name at the top of your list. Get 10 people to join up and move your name up a slot... First in make the most money.. Highly illegal but this scheme has been around several times but every time people think its a good idea and off goes their $5, never to be returned.
