I've started as a distributer with forever through products, mainly the drinking gel. I suffered with stomach issues since my teens and since drinking the gel I haven't felt so good, not having to be constantly near a loo is an amazing feeling for me. Whether it is a placebo effect or not I do not care. I used to have to pay quite a bit of money for products like diacalm (which has just about 6 tablets per pack) which averaged on about £2-£5 depending on the brand and how desperate I was lol. But haven't needed them now for about 1 year. Do then ones who call Forever living a pyramid scheme actually know what a pyramid scheme is? Have you watched your local forever business presentation? I'm at the 2nd lowest level at the moment as I'm just starting out and I haven't found any negative things about this company from the inside. Anyone who would like to see the presentation in full or would like to know the difference in a pyramid scheme and forevers opportunity drop me a message.

Nothing negative, how about
- The overpriced products
- The fact you have to be 4cc active each month (i.e buy your own products)
- Tot how much money you spend on coffees, petrol, over night stats, success day tickets etc and compare this against actual PROFIT. Not turn over etc

Please, don't fall for the "multiple six figure income global business leader" nonsense. It starts off very inconspicuous, next thing you know, your friends are ignoring you and your credit card bill is sky high!

Trust me, I have seen first hand, what this can do to someone.

p.s - cheap touting of business on a forum is crass

My husband recently setup his own business within the sport coaching / tutoring industry (fed up of being treated like a junior at 40+ and being over looked when promotions come up). We both work full time (him often unsociable hours) but neither of us have the opportunity for additional hours at a decent rate of pay. We cannot afford for one of us to be out of paying work therefore he needs to set up his business at the same time as working. Having discussed at length our financial options we have ruled out re-mortgaging, business loans or in anyway putting our house up for collateral against a business. Enough of the background my husband has a friend who is an FBO and is building up her team and he agreed to go, I went to support him but with a very skeptical mind! I sat and listened and heard many different reasons why people had joined from young people to elderly people from different backgrounds. They don't state their products are miracles nor do they state at any point their products cure, it was stated they may relieve/reduce symptoms of certain ailments. To cut it short. My (we) have joined and paid the £200 and as my husband will be advertising the fitness side of Forever, I have agreed to help with the beauty side of forever. Now I am more than happy to report back here in a few months and let you know how wer're getting on be this good or bad but my main point of writing this is that it's not for everyone not everything is and we're all different and we do what we need to do to get on in life, I am willing to give this is a go as I don't want any loans or the worry that if his business doesn't work, we haven't the stress over having to sell our house. Can we afford to lose £200? Yes we can. Can we walk away with no issues? Yes we can. Are we planning to pummel our family & friends? No. If people don't want to buy the products then that's fine but until you give anyone the opportunity to try then they how does anyone get to know. Even after typing this out I am still skeptical and not exactly sure whether this will work or not.

I wonder how you have got on?

Driving a range rover sport yet? Multiple six figure income?

All joking aside, how has your journey been?

Definitely not a pyramid scheme, definitely not, it just so happens that the top 1 % of people make money, and the other 99% lose.

But NOT, i repeat, NOT a pyramid scheme.

I'm seeing Juice Plus everywhere at the moment: "Any Yummy Mummies want to know how to start up your own business FOR FREE? Message me to find out how you can join up" etc etc.

are words alone enough to make me despise their sales pitch

add into the mix inane selfies with shots of feet in the garden, coffee in Starbucks and beds on a Monday morning - with the strapline, so lucky this is my office.

They honestly act like they are the only ones who get to work from home / coffee shop.

Not really your own business though is it your just selling on behalf of someone else
