The HaTeR Bossbabes and Scammers talk about. Hey Hello I'm Julie Jo and I am so happy you're here! Consumer Protection & Education are my main goals. I believe that education is a powerful thing and the more people who are educated on these harmful practices (i.e. MLMs, scams, cults..), the less likely they are to fall prey to them. These companies/groups/people are harmful and many of the top leaders and CEOs understand this. I break down their deception to better help others see it and be able to avoid it. If you want to send me some information or want me to react to something, please email me at iamjuliejo@gmail.com
The "insanity definition" is a quip, not meant to be taken as fact. It's a way to say "people will think I'm crazy cuz I keep trying and I don't give up. Well, too bad, I'm gonna ignore them and keep trying anyway!" It can also be taken as a way to say you need to change course or make some tweaks when things aren't working. It isn't really referencing mental health, it's more addressing behavior and people's perception.
19:40 "who told you this was gonna be easy"??? Um, ma'am, EVERYONE said that! "Work it in the pockets of your day" and "make some extra money on the side" and "just an hour or two a week and you can make second job money" are the claims we hear over and over again! It's only once they've *joined* that the script is flipped and suddenly it requires sacrifice and grit and hustle. Classic bait & switch.
"tough love" is not gaslighting, manipulating, insulting, belittling, or berating others. Real "tough love" is coming with facts and firmly (but mercifully) saying "look, here's where you messed up, these are the consequences, and this is how to fix it." You can be firm and kind, you don't have to sacrifice the dignity of another to make your point. Remember, honesty without mercy is just cruelty.
"Ranking up starts with a decision" i think the unspoken part is that it's your fault if you can't rank up because you didn't decide "the right way". Not the company's fault you didn't decide hard enough!
Omg I never heard anyone cover Alice. She’s so famous in Phx since she’s the host spoken person for the Phx Suns . I’m always seeing her at the games and advocates so much with Latina movement.
I had a project manager (that I 😫) that wanted us to do "weekly wins" every "FriYAY" on Teams, using GIFs to illustrate them. I despised it. Especially the forced positivity from someone that could be nasty behind your back.
"_I'm sorry_, who told you this was gonna be easy? So I believe we are battling this entitled mindset" Um... People did tell them it was gonna be easy, that's one of the big talking points.
We are wired for "the tea" because evolutionarily, it keeps us safe. It keeps us in the tribe, it keeps us from knowing what danger may or may not exist, etc. There is a very good reason we are wired this way. Can it be unhealthy in a modern context, sure, but it absolutely serves a purpose.
Imagine her delivering this speech and slide presentation at a legitimate convention for professional sales reps! She'd be laughed off the stage. Absolutely no information of value given here. The only reason she can be successful at this gig is because she's speaking to an already brainwashed audience. Sadly, she really thinks she's doing something giving these keynote speeches... but anyone's impact is greater in an echo chamber.
I so dislike this idea that I've only heard MLM's ever present that you must try something before deciding it's bad or dangerous. Ridiculous, just as you showed, JJ, and just as every logical person knows. It's absolutely cult treatment.
Is there a specific personality tests these MLMs use? I can tell by how they say things like “I’m a science and numbers person” that they are taking them, but I can’t figure out which one. Or do the companies make their own?
I’m pretty sure what’s going on is whoever wrote that book took a bunch of Christian concepts and turned them into self help platitudes. The whole thing about “being different” based on your habits and people not accepting you and that bad habits are “the norm” is very similar to what pastors say about people’s “walk with Christ.” They just changed out sin with bad habits and being in an MLM with being a Christian. Not saying religion is bad, what I am saying though the self help tools cult repackages religious rhetoric to subliminally or directly appeal to the Jesus Huns
What I find truly hilarious and ironic is that they COULD make the health claims they try to, IF they had the STUDIES and SCIENCE to back it up. They do not pay for it. They do not do studies for it. They do not go through the right channels that would allow them to freely use these health claims…. But they DONT. why? Because these products aren’t special. They don’t do as ‘advertised’. It is a scam. How people do not see that, baffles me. If they’re so ‘worried’ about big pharma stealing this ‘miracle’…. Why haven’t they done it already? If that stupid ass man can take the trademarking for Jool’s ‘demure’, it is POSSIBLE. If many crappy sites like shein steal designs, it’s POSSIBLE. Big pharma has already STOLEN countless drugs and treatments already, so if it truly was magical, it’d be stolen already! Clouding their products with this ‘miracle’/‘curing’ labels just lack all logic, science and critical thinking: it’s sad to see how many people just follow it. It’s giving ‘don’t look up’
I thought I should share this, but Avon have a facial suncream that failed the annual tests done by the UK consumer rights group Which?. So not only talc that is causing problems.
