Hey angels just a quick clarification on my end because I don't believe I worded this clearly enough in this video: 1. I understand many people don't get the privilege of just enjoying their job. Many people are doing what they can to pay bills. And therefore, they don't wake up every day excited about what they are doing. And that breaks my heart. I also know I am super privileged to have the opportunity where my passion is my job. But I want too use my privilege and platform to speak up about the issues that harm others. I also wanted to add that around 09:55 I discussed waking up and being excited about what I do. I'm referring to me and my own personal experience with marketing and working on my own business. 2. Monat girl call themselves business owners, yet in this zoom call, they express how they aren't passionate about the "business" they have built. Which sounds very contradictory to the idea of creating a business. Because if you start a business, you usually start it because you have an innovative product, an exciting concept, a gap in the market you want to fill, and you're passionate about that idea. So I find it very odd they claim to be business owners yet discuss how they don't truly love the business they allegedly own. Any small business owner I've met LOVES what they do and loves what they sell. So its just another example, imo of the misleading nature of Monat and its marketing. 3. My last point is I really get frustrated when the target demographic of these leaders are people who don't love their job and want financial freedom. Because MLMs are marketed as being able to work and have your passion all in one job. And that's extremely misleading and messed up to promote. Especially considering the fact that even for the top leaders, that's not their passion. So in my opinion, they are lying to others who want the opportunity of financial freedom while pursuing their passion.
I don't think this is true about all small business owners. I hate money and wish I could do the things i like without worrying about money. But because I'm strapped for money I have to monetize the things I love doing, which is actually a huge bummer and I'm not pumped about it. But these scammers are not being upfront about that potentially being how it will go when they're recruiting. Quite the opposite, most of the draw in the first place is that they portray themselves as "living in their passion" every day, and oh shouldn't we feel sad for the people just trying to get by, and join their cult to avoid that being us. But in reality they're no different, and actually the majority of them are getting along a lot worse than everyone else.
That backtrack 👀👀 Weren’t their distributors “marrying” Monat and claiming to be lifers and now all these high ranking huns are basically stating their dissatisfaction? I think Connie is jumping ship soon.
It's absolutely insane the way that they feel the need to subtly hint that they're going to be leaving, that's they're not satisfied and that their passion is something else. But still they have to "work the business" so they're trying to fit that message into their "hell yeah I love monat" speech to the team. It's so, soooo sketchy
Watching the chat/messages was very interesting. The constant “yesssss” and “I felt that”. It’s wild. No one just questioning the content, just blatant, blind following.
@@xxmidnight12xx18 ha ha. Totally! They have it up on one screen, while watching Friends on another. They wait for a shrilly moment and type in the obligatory “yes girl!” response. Lol
Love how every zoom call sounds like a Ted talk from these women at the top….. and also- i love how they’re giving out tips like they are therapists. They don’t have the credentials to give out this information and suggestions. They are steering people in the wrong direction.
This isn't the first Monat leader who's insisted "I'm not a beauty girl" (while wearing glam makeup) and commented on competitiveness within their company. The other Monat leader I'm referring to recently joined iGenius. Wonder where these are going to next.
Shows how fake they are to me. Thet jump from opportunity to opportunity & each time the new company is just so much better than previously. Its totally the one MLM that is unique & doesn't have the same issues as the other ones. 🙄
It's like they don't think it's ok to be both a "beauty girl" and a smart, tech loving girl, and because of the misogynist society we live in, they see the latter as being a lesser thing. So then we see them eith extensions in, hair curled/blown out, full face of makeup, saying they're "not into beauty." Like yo, there's no need to lie! You can be totally into beauty and makeup and hair and fashion and still be smart, tech savvy, and nerdy. Also, just because you're into beauty, that doesn't need to be your career. There's no need to tell everyone you're one type or the other type of woman; be who your are and embrace your unique, multi-faceted self!
I don't like how they think they are mental health professionals. They are basically doing "life coaching". Which they are not trained in at all. It is also faith manipulation. Eww. .gross.
Imagine how much of a fuss they would put up if their downlines started speaking this way ("Selling shampoo really isn't my passion"). But of course it's okay if the leaders move, because they can take some of their downline with them. 🙄 (And then passively insult the ones who chose to leave MLMs altogether or stick with Monat.)
I read this whole Zoom call message as trying to be relatable, trying to normalize feeling like shit about what they're doing in this MLM, and make it seem like it's more important than it actually is by describing having a "purpose."
There is no other job in the world where these types of calls would be appropriate. Can you imagine being at your “ corporate “ job and your manager asking you these things? Can you imagine if you worked at a grocery store, big box retailer, customer service or restaurant ? Employees would wonder what the heck is wrong with their boss and why is she asking me what my purpose is? I would be offended and wonder why my boss is trying to pry in my personal life. It’s sad that a lot of these younger girls have never had much work experience and they believe this is how managers behave. They never once provide a realistic account of how joining could make you lose money. This reaffirms that they are just looking for a warm body. The fact that two women can sit on a call and literally exaggerate the facts is beyond concerning.
Right? How is this a "work" call? No product training, advice on marketing, review of the company's terms & conditions, etc.. Total and complete waste of time.
In fact, at my employer there was a guest speaker who was talking about what our purpose is as human beings and it was a very problematic speech. Staff filed complaints and the speaker won’t be allowed back until they’ve undergone training. no one should ever make assumptions about peoples purpose, it is no one’s business to tell anyone else how to life and to what purpose.
A religious publishing house, for example. That’s where you can hear similar “pep talks” or literal sermons. We had chapel every week at mine. Literal church service. I’m agnostic now. 🤪
Well, in their mind, they all are business owners and their upline is like a coach, not a manager. Like more experienced girlie wishing them success. And they generally seem to luck awareness, so they feel just fine.
Hey angels here's a zoom call from their Monat zoom series and oh my god. When leaders expose how they aren't truly passionate about what they do then its badddd
Thank you for starting to put your clothes in the description box. I always find myself saying "damn she looks amazing in that! Let me DM her on Instagram to see where she got it from!" 😂😂
I can’t. Thank you for calling out all of this but pointing out the shit Brittany said. Life is hard. And that toxic positivity has literally almost taken me out a couple of times. I’m pretty sure most people wouldn’t believe me if I told my entire story. Seriously, it’s hard for me to believe sometimes. But I can absolutely promise that no amount of “mindset change” could or would have fixed anything. Oh and the audacity of people with money…it’s infuriating and insulting. Erika
I started in a blue-collar town and now have a happy life in the big city, earning more than all but the top few dozen Monat reps, great family, and a success by this person's own criterion. I have never had a "purpose," never chased a "dream," and nobody "created" me for any reason. I live life just to see what happens next, and it all works out tine. As you say, toxic positivity, hustle culture, just ignorant garbage. But it is really telling that this sales rep for a shampoo company now doesn't care for shampoo, and you're right, she's clearly getting ready to move. And if she had mentioned crypto, we'd know where.
Another Shampoo lady that completely covers her hair. I know it's such a tiny thing, but it fascinates me to an alarming degree. I honestly want to know if they know they are doing it, if it's on purpose, and WHY. I mean I know why :D But how do they explain it to themselves? It's so bizarre. Is this something they talk about with each other, or is it like this elephant in the room?
I've seen some of em claim they have some sort of hair mask or Rejuvunique oil (or however it's spelled) in their hair..why the hat is necessary for that, who knows. 😂
I love how you really cut to the core of the issue and you're not afraid to talk about the more serious problems with these groups, not just the cringey superficial tactics. These cults are part of a broader set of issues. They're the worst of the worst, but unfortunately not the only bad shit.
There have been several times in my life where I did not believe in myself, and that doesn’t make me a failure. In fact, other people in my life who believed in me got me through those times. They walked with me through those times and didn’t abandon me because I was struggling.
If you don't think it's necessary to LOVE what you do, then just get a 9-5! I have not always loved my jobs, but I've been thankful for what they allow me to do in my free time (which is ACTUALLY free!). If you're not going to love it, you might as well love the work life balance, pay, and benefits of a normal job.
My job allows me 2 work what time of the day that suits me. And if I don't wanna work Friday I can do it sat or sun. I get a really good cash gift 4 Christmas and 5 weeks off a year, paid. Up 2 3months full pay if there's a bereavement in the family. The actual work I'm not luvving that much but it's mine and I get paid and when my day's done it's done and I don't have 2 stress about it.
There must be whispers & murmurs in those monat streets about more people thinking about leaving. They're trying to get to them & relate to them before those people make their exit
Grrr Britty Britt is so detached. Doesn’t understand why so many people are “just surviving?” How about a pandemic, for which her husband and also probably herself didn’t want to do their part and get the vaccine. How about the economic situation, but I hear her parents are rich so I guess it doesn’t affect her. How anyone on her team can sit through this drivel and actually agree with them is beyond me. The systemic analysis is so lacking with both of them. So out of touch. As for Tony Robbins, I agree. Also he has sexually harassed women, Buzzfeed did a huge story on that a few years ago.
Is she honestly trying to say that Monat is the perfect way to fund your lifestyle so you can pursue your real passions ? You know what else does that? A 9-5 lol
She said you can't always be passionate about something, but then stated that she was always passionate about supporting women my brain juice evaporating
The circular reasoning, lack of logic, and word salad in these “trainings” make my head hurt. Also, none of these trainings ever address how to do these “businesses” when you’re neurodivergent or have energy-limiting illnesses like ME/cfs. Yet so many of us Disabled people get sucked into these MLMs hoping to make extra money. These “leaders” are so clueless.
The way she talks comes from such a privileged position... So many people right now are losing their jobs and are in such unstable positions and they literally CAN'T have a one year plan... You need some form of stability to be able to plan long term... As someone who has always had to move from country to country and now I have to guarantee I can stay .. I can't plan for 5 years because I can't even know where I will be in 6 months... Planning long term is a privilege... Sure you can have goals and dreams or whatever ... But when your life is soo freaking unstable your dreams have to adjust to the reality you're allowed to live in that moment.... I'm really annoyed 😅
Yes exactly! Thank you so much for sharing, that’s why I just got so upset with this damn video because it’s a ridiculous thought process when so many struggle and can’t even think about the future when they’re just trying to get through what’s happening now
I thought everyone understood that a leader is somebody who believes in you when you don’t believe in yourself. I feel sorry for anybody living in a reality where what she says makes sense.
Anyone else notice that Britty's face is so filtered her nostrils keep disappearing? That's all I've seen for the last like three minutes she's been talking.
Just once, I'd love to hear them start out with: "Ok, does anyone have any questions?" Like, ask what your team needs. Can you imagine? (And stop 'pouring into,' Connie and Britt. Stop. It's weird.) Finally, Tony Robbins IS awful. Agree.💯
Yea, definitely strange behavior. Weren't they lifers just 2 months ago and now they are talking about Monat is not it. They must know that Monat is coming down soon and are getting ahead of themselves, so they won't look like fools. Something is definitely up. This is not their normal.
Oh my god I just met a guy building his own log cabin by himself!!! 🤯 it was amazing totally off grid with these beautiful logs he picked out himself. Some people have wood working in their blood, I swear
If a person needs a purpose that is spiritually based join a church but these people joined Monat to earn money to have a job. This sounds to me like they are acknowledging that you can't make money doing Monat.
12:09 She says, "I can't see the chat." Didn't she just ask everyone to put in the chat what they're passionate about? These MLM huns are truly willing to prey on the most vulnerable.
When she said that she doesn't wake up to live and breathe Monat......girl weren't y'all saying that you needed to live and breathe the company and products like less than a year to a year ago??? It truly wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if she left for another MLM after this
The analogy of her daughter “just believing” she can do a back handspring… babe…. That is… laying groundwork and taking your time to build fundamentals KEEPS PEOPLE SAFE??? Don’t start “a business” open an LLC or try to do a back hand spring with just the blind belief you can… that’s how you break your neck
Can we also address that it is so disingenuous when women are like "excuse me for looking cray" when they are fine/beautiful/themselves. She looks fine...a face full of makeup and on vacation. She's a beautiful woman. It feels like a false way of trying to connect. It really just comes off as super fake.
As a business owning woman, I'm just mystified by the dumbing down of "business" language in these MLM presentations. The working camper presenter spoke so much, and managed to say very little useful content. I have several serial MLM'ers among my social media friends, and I've noticed a similar pattern throughout. It's really tough for me to take them seriously.
Can someone explain where the comment “ pouring in “ originated ? It’s such a gross comment - instead they should just say “ force feeding “ their propaganda -oh and are these leaders using filters on their calls ? Guess I’m old and not cool , but that is so weird and off putting
Opinions vary, but seems to be either from Psalms or Jewish passover tradition of overflowing cups, of plenty and/or providing enough to support your family and others
I’m not sure I have a general purpose, but I know I’m full of passions. Is that bad? No! My take is, I’m leading a self examined life. My purpose is always evolving, as are my passions. And I will tell you that the boss appreciates my passions, loves my skills, and has never asked about my purpose.
These people are delusional literally everything they talk about and preach is the opposite of what I teach my clients as an occupational therapist. There’s so many times I have to tell my clients that I believe in them because they don’t believe in themselves imagine if I was like well you don’t believe in yourself though no one‘s gonna believe in you
Something can be your passion without you wanting to do it every day of your life - or being monetized. Working with horses and being around the equestrian community is a huge passion of mine but there are just some days where I don't want to go through the effort of riding, or I don't want to pack my camera gear around a show for 9 hours to take photos. Monetizing things takes the passion out of it for a lot of people. I literally dread the idea of monetizing my hobbies, it gives me so much anxiety - so ya I'll put the hours and hours into taking photos, editing them, and posting them just to let the riders and owners use them for free because I *enjoy* doing it. I hate taking art commissions, like if I have the time I will just draw the thing for you, please don't bring money into it or I will immediately not want to do it.
If you love fashion there's remote jobs you can do right now for Amazon fashion and stitch fix. You don't have to do MLMs for that. Boss from Home posts these daily on her channel.
Pausing at the mention of wanting to go to Europe. Paris has to be on your list of destinations! I think you'll love it. Honestly, part of me didn't want to leave, lol.
“Happy/Sad” “Positive/Negative”. Humans are complex multi-faceted individuals and it’s annoying that these NON-LICENSED individuals insisted on reducing human emotions down to these four things. Not to mention, sometimes those feelings from the downline are uncertainty and confusion and should be trusting their gut. But instead the uplink is brainwashing them to “think positive”.
I feel sad for those ladies in the chat because they really think they will get high up like these directors are. They don't understand how the math works in MLMs 😕
Hey beautiful just wanted to let you know (using headphones) that there was no static or crackling noises like I mentioned before for you as some feedback, as I couldn’t not say it’s gone or not there anymore otherwise you might still be scratching your head wondering if the issue has gone or is still there etc lol, great video as always look forward to the next one 💖💖
It also reminds me of Brooks Banks saying that Modere is a better fit for her than Limelife was, because she's not really a makeup and beauty girl (or something along those lines. That's not verbatim). And here we have Connie saying the same thing about not being into skincare and beauty.
Uggghhh. Right out of the gate the Hun says "such great leaders pouring into you giys" The expression "pouring into you guys" seems so cringe looking from the outside in
10:25 I get it so you're saying that shampoo is just a front for you to "lead other women" (ie, recruit), and that the products aren't actually relevant
I think this is them doing damage control to combat Veronica's story she did...she said how she wasn't feeling monat... it's not what she was meant to do.. so now they are gaslighting saying with out saying if you basically feel like Veronica.. why would you leave monat..Monat is a vessel to your purpose its all on you.. are you really working are you settling...victim blaming....guilt . Im relatable ..im like you...a sprinkle of .shame... blah blah blah.... lol
Sounds like she’s trying to say “Just stop being depressed” like… I can’t control it. You think I want to lay in bed. You think I want to think dark life ending thoughts? Noooo!! I really hate this type of person. I used to sell thirty-one. I’ve gone to events. But I was low low low loooow in the down line. No one gave a fuck about me and how much money I was spending and how I wasn’t getting any money back. I got sucked into it after graduating high school. They do go after graduates. They go after anyone. I got my aunt under me and I still feel bad. So when I got out, she was still in it. But not that long after I got out she eventually got out too.
That "life of purpose" is such a disgusting and manipulative thing to say to someone. You don't have to earn the right to exist! We're all allowed to take up space whether or not we are deemed "useful" according to someone else's standards. God, stop trying to shame people just so you can squeeze more money out of them!
Well, 9-5s sometimes are also delusional enough to think that their business is employees' priority and passion, but they at least PAY SALARY. And these pep talks are ridiculous. Imagine your boss call up a meeting and start telling you all these BS. And now imagine they don't pay you, even more - you invest your own money into the business. Most of the people would be up and go.
I am hearing a lot of tried-and-true cult tactics and techniques. I am decently well versed in the topic due to an utter fascination with human psychology. Anything in that realm I tend to study for the enjoyment.
I didn´t get the feeling that they are leaving but they seemed to me like they were "overcoming" the excuses that the big monat girls that left used in their leaving videos for example when she said that your purpose doesn´t have to be to sell shampoo seemed directed to the last monat leader that left. I think that other leaders are echoing those feelings and this is a desperate attempt at making them stay.
I say this with a kind heart- your videos and content are awesome but from my POV, I feel as if we are spoon fed your thoughts to a minutia level and it is repetitive. Think could be less # of interruptions. We get the points. Also, some of these women are at a life stage where they cannot be passionate about their jobs. Not everyone is. It is a means to an ends. So whether it is selling a MLM product or working for a 9-5 that is a not one’s dream, it is a means to an end. Larger point would be is that if it is a means to an end, then don’t work for an MLM as it won’t return, in dollars, the amount of time u spent on pushing its sub-par products. Also, you made great point from an analytical perspective of hey, sounds like they are leaving because (u explained why so well). I love ur passion, your frankness, and how much u care about helping people see what BS MLMs are & that’s why I continue to watch
There are two versions (I know of) of the story she butchered. One is set at a cathedral in the 1400s, the other at NASA in the 1950s; bricklayer and custodian, respectively. First person describes the labor, second is supporting their family, third is either building a temple to the glory of God or putting a man on the moon. Different ways of seeing an honest day's work.
I hate any meeting or training that could have just been an email or a short Tiktok video. And this training is not saying anything new or revolutionary or even particularly enlightening. Such a waste of time.
And no, not everyone has the same obstacles. This toxic positivity is so ableist. Just think about what amazing things could be done in research for ME/cfs, long Covid, and autoimmune diseases if all these huns and their energy were funneled into fundraising to find biomarkers, treatments, and true cures, not these mediocre products and predatory business practices.
This woman's strategy for filling her fifteen minute presentation is to say everything twice in a row. At least. I'm still not sure if she loves selling shampoo, or what her purpose is, maybe tell me a few more times girl.

Wait are these not the same idiots that declared their life and love to Monat a couple months ago? ???? Now Monat is not your purpose??? Hmm 🤔
I started in a blue-collar town and now have a happy life in the big city, earning more than all but the top few dozen Monat reps, great family, and a success by this person's own criterion. I have never had a "purpose," never chased a "dream," and nobody "created" me for any reason. I live life just to see what happens next, and it all works out tine.

Another Shampoo lady that completely covers her hair. I know it's such a tiny thing, but it fascinates me to an alarming degree. I honestly want to know if they know they are doing it, if it's on purpose, and WHY. I mean I know why :D But how do they explain it to themselves? It's so bizarre. Is this something they talk about with each other, or is it like this elephant in the room?
I've seen some of em claim they have some sort of hair mask or Rejuvunique oil (or however it's spelled) in their hair..why the hat is necessary for that, who knows. 😂
I love how you really cut to the core of the issue and you're not afraid to talk about the more serious problems with these groups, not just the cringey superficial tactics. These cults are part of a broader set of issues. They're the worst of the worst, but unfortunately not the only bad shit.
There have been several times in my life where I did not believe in myself, and that doesn’t make me a failure. In fact, other people in my life who believed in me got me through those times. They walked with me through those times and didn’t abandon me because I was struggling.
THIS RIGHT HERE! Yes! I can relate. There were times where I didn't believe in myself and then a friend of mine helped me believe in myself!!
You made a good ass point bringing up that she’s on vacation and still working like that’s crazy lmaooo.
Not wanting to talk to the VIPS / customers sums up MLMs so well haha - since its all about recruitment anyways
Literally cackled when you said;
‘This isn’t fucking PETER PAN!’ 🧚🏻
If you don't think it's necessary to LOVE what you do, then just get a 9-5! I have not always loved my jobs, but I've been thankful for what they allow me to do in my free time (which is ACTUALLY free!). If you're not going to love it, you might as well love the work life balance, pay, and benefits of a normal job.
My job allows me 2 work what time of the day that suits me. And if I don't wanna work Friday I can do it sat or sun. I get a really good cash gift 4 Christmas and 5 weeks off a year, paid. Up 2 3months full pay if there's a bereavement in the family. The actual work I'm not luvving that much but it's mine and I get paid and when my day's done it's done and I don't have 2 stress about it.
These women are too gorgeous and intelligent to be scamming people in an MLM. Makes me so sad
Amen 🙏
There must be whispers & murmurs in those monat streets about more people thinking about leaving. They're trying to get to them & relate to them before those people make their exit
Good point about creating loyalty to leaders & not the company
Grrr Britty Britt is so detached. Doesn’t understand why so many people are “just surviving?” How about a pandemic, for which her husband and also probably herself didn’t want to do their part and get the vaccine. How about the economic situation, but I hear her parents are rich so I guess it doesn’t affect her. How anyone on her team can sit through this drivel and actually agree with them is beyond me. The systemic analysis is so lacking with both of them. So out of touch. As for Tony Robbins, I agree. Also he has sexually harassed women, Buzzfeed did a huge story on that a few years ago.
Sooo tired of hearing them say they're "pouring into" ppl. Stop. It sounds weird lol
Is she honestly trying to say that Monat is the perfect way to fund your lifestyle so you can pursue your real passions ? You know what else does that? A 9-5 lol
LOL
This is the leader that didn't allow honest questions on a previous video, isn't it?
Yes, her daughter 'decided' to do it. It wasn't just self confidence she needed. It was six months of practice, per her mom. DUH
Can we please retire the phrase "pour into you" from MLM leaders??? Eewww. Gives me the icks
they are beyond toxic
They wanna say how they're all about helping people but all I hear is "I I I" from these "leaders"
“I can therefore I can” LMAOOOOO GORL NO
She said you can't always be passionate about something, but then stated that she was always passionate about supporting women
my brain juice evaporating
The circular reasoning, lack of logic, and word salad in these “trainings” make my head hurt.
Also, none of these trainings ever address how to do these “businesses” when you’re neurodivergent or have energy-limiting illnesses like ME/cfs. Yet so many of us Disabled people get sucked into these MLMs hoping to make extra money.
These “leaders” are so clueless.
My god, I am not even 1 minute in, and shes already tried gas lighting ? "You're SO lucky, you should APPRECIATE IT"
You’ve hit the nail on the head! They’re 100% leaving.
Wasn't Connie just on vacation just a couple months ago too. Must be nice to keep going on these trips from the money her downline is making her. 😒
Isn't Connie the pastors wife?
I wanted another Monat video. :) Thanks, Isabella!
The way she talks comes from such a privileged position... So many people right now are losing their jobs and are in such unstable positions and they literally CAN'T have a one year plan... You need some form of stability to be able to plan long term... As someone who has always had to move from country to country and now I have to guarantee I can stay .. I can't plan for 5 years because I can't even know where I will be in 6 months... Planning long term is a privilege... Sure you can have goals and dreams or whatever ... But when your life is soo freaking unstable your dreams have to adjust to the reality you're allowed to live in that moment.... I'm really annoyed 😅
Yes exactly! Thank you so much for sharing, that’s why I just got so upset with this damn video because it’s a ridiculous thought process when so many struggle and can’t even think about the future when they’re just trying to get through what’s happening now
How do you resist not saying “that’s what she said” after some of this shit? Im cracking up 😆
I thought everyone understood that a leader is somebody who believes in you when you don’t believe in yourself. I feel sorry for anybody living in a reality where what she says makes sense.
Anyone else notice that Britty's face is so filtered her nostrils keep disappearing? That's all I've seen for the last like three minutes she's been talking.
Just once, I'd love to hear them start out with: "Ok, does anyone have any questions?" Like, ask what your team needs. Can you imagine?
(And stop 'pouring into,' Connie and Britt. Stop. It's weird.)
Finally, Tony Robbins IS awful. Agree.💯
Yea, definitely strange behavior. Weren't they lifers just 2 months ago and now they are talking about Monat is not it. They must know that Monat is coming down soon and are getting ahead of themselves, so they won't look like fools. Something is definitely up. This is not their normal.
Oh my god I just met a guy building his own log cabin by himself!!! 🤯 it was amazing totally off grid with these beautiful logs he picked out himself. Some people have wood working in their blood, I swear
If a person needs a purpose that is spiritually based join a church but these people joined Monat to earn money to have a job. This sounds to me like they are acknowledging that you can't make money doing Monat.
12:09 She says, "I can't see the chat." Didn't she just ask everyone to put in the chat what they're passionate about? These MLM huns are truly willing to prey on the most vulnerable.
"I can, therefore... I can." 🤦♀️😂🤣
When she said that she doesn't wake up to live and breathe Monat......girl weren't y'all saying that you needed to live and breathe the company and products like less than a year to a year ago??? It truly wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if she left for another MLM after this
The analogy of her daughter “just believing” she can do a back handspring… babe…. That is… laying groundwork and taking your time to build fundamentals KEEPS PEOPLE SAFE??? Don’t start “a business” open an LLC or try to do a back hand spring with just the blind belief you can… that’s how you break your neck
It sure does smell that they are preparing their exit from Monat to another MLM. Monat is bleeding reps so, they have to prepare for their exit.
"I wake up in the morning and I piss excellence." - Ricky Bobby
Can we also address that it is so disingenuous when women are like "excuse me for looking cray" when they are fine/beautiful/themselves. She looks fine...a face full of makeup and on vacation. She's a beautiful woman. It feels like a false way of trying to connect. It really just comes off as super fake.
As a business owning woman, I'm just mystified by the dumbing down of "business" language in these MLM presentations. The working camper presenter spoke so much, and managed to say very little useful content. I have several serial MLM'ers among my social media friends, and I've noticed a similar pattern throughout. It's really tough for me to take them seriously.
Drinking game ...every time Connie said Passionate and them we are way to drunk to care what britty says
Can someone explain where the comment “ pouring in “ originated ? It’s such a gross comment - instead they should just say “ force feeding “ their propaganda -oh and are these leaders using filters on their calls ? Guess I’m old and not cool , but that is so weird and off putting
Opinions vary, but seems to be either from Psalms or Jewish passover tradition of overflowing cups, of plenty and/or providing enough to support your family and others
My purpose is existence.
Yayyy!!!! I love your clothing taste - I’m a big neutrals fan!!
I’m not sure I have a general purpose, but I know I’m full of passions. Is that bad? No! My take is, I’m leading a self examined life. My purpose is always evolving, as are my passions. And I will tell you that the boss appreciates my passions, loves my skills, and has never asked about my purpose.
These people are delusional literally everything they talk about and preach is the opposite of what I teach my clients as an occupational therapist. There’s so many times I have to tell my clients that I believe in them because they don’t believe in themselves imagine if I was like well you don’t believe in yourself though no one‘s gonna believe in you
Something can be your passion without you wanting to do it every day of your life - or being monetized. Working with horses and being around the equestrian community is a huge passion of mine but there are just some days where I don't want to go through the effort of riding, or I don't want to pack my camera gear around a show for 9 hours to take photos. Monetizing things takes the passion out of it for a lot of people. I literally dread the idea of monetizing my hobbies, it gives me so much anxiety - so ya I'll put the hours and hours into taking photos, editing them, and posting them just to let the riders and owners use them for free because I *enjoy* doing it. I hate taking art commissions, like if I have the time I will just draw the thing for you, please don't bring money into it or I will immediately not want to do it.
If you love fashion there's remote jobs you can do right now for Amazon fashion and stitch fix. You don't have to do MLMs for that. Boss from Home posts these daily on her channel.
Pausing at the mention of wanting to go to Europe. Paris has to be on your list of destinations! I think you'll love it. Honestly, part of me didn't want to leave, lol.
“Happy/Sad” “Positive/Negative”. Humans are complex multi-faceted individuals and it’s annoying that these NON-LICENSED individuals insisted on reducing human emotions down to these four things.
Not to mention, sometimes those feelings from the downline are uncertainty and confusion and should be trusting their gut. But instead the uplink is brainwashing them to “think positive”.
I feel sad for those ladies in the chat because they really think they will get high up like these directors are. They don't understand how the math works in MLMs 😕
Hey beautiful just wanted to let you know (using headphones) that there was no static or crackling noises like I mentioned before for you as some feedback, as I couldn’t not say it’s gone or not there anymore otherwise you might still be scratching your head wondering if the issue has gone or is still there etc lol, great video as always look forward to the next one 💖💖
this pointless call makes me appreciate my 9-5 even more (blablabla “purpose”)
I don't love my day job I'm just good at it..
“Let me tell you a story, it may be tweaked…” I.E. I’m going to lie and change this story to fit my narrative to further manipulate you all. Lol
It also reminds me of Brooks Banks saying that Modere is a better fit for her than Limelife was, because she's not really a makeup and beauty girl (or something along those lines. That's not verbatim). And here we have Connie saying the same thing about not being into skincare and beauty.
Uggghhh. Right out of the gate the Hun says "such great leaders pouring into you giys"
The expression "pouring into you guys" seems so cringe looking from the outside in
What annoys me the most is I think Connie is so gorgeous! 😂 like arg! These girls....thanks for another great video!
10:25 I get it so you're saying that shampoo is just a front for you to "lead other women" (ie, recruit), and that the products aren't actually relevant
I think this is them doing damage control to combat Veronica's story she did...she said how she wasn't feeling monat... it's not what she was meant to do.. so now they are gaslighting saying with out saying if you basically feel like Veronica.. why would you leave monat..Monat is a vessel to your purpose its all on you.. are you really working are you settling...victim blaming....guilt . Im relatable ..im like you...a sprinkle of .shame... blah blah blah.... lol
Why do Monat huns all wear hats all the time?
Sounds like she’s trying to say “Just stop being depressed” like… I can’t control it. You think I want to lay in bed. You think I want to think dark life ending thoughts? Noooo!! I really hate this type of person.
I used to sell thirty-one. I’ve gone to events. But I was low low low loooow in the down line. No one gave a fuck about me and how much money I was spending and how I wasn’t getting any money back. I got sucked into it after graduating high school. They do go after graduates. They go after anyone. I got my aunt under me and I still feel bad. So when I got out, she was still in it. But not that long after I got out she eventually got out too.
1 minute in and I get the ick
Stop pouring into me.. its petty but I just cringe at that term…
That "life of purpose" is such a disgusting and manipulative thing to say to someone. You don't have to earn the right to exist! We're all allowed to take up space whether or not we are deemed "useful" according to someone else's standards. God, stop trying to shame people just so you can squeeze more money out of them!
THANK YOU
I'ts pronounced Monat with the T right because Monat is an abbreviation of "Mother Nature"?
6:40 so your purpose isn't to sell Monat, but instead to recruit. It's so transparent
Well, 9-5s sometimes are also delusional enough to think that their business is employees' priority and passion, but they at least PAY SALARY. And these pep talks are ridiculous. Imagine your boss call up a meeting and start telling you all these BS. And now imagine they don't pay you, even more - you invest your own money into the business. Most of the people would be up and go.
Me: crickets lolol.
Monat has helped my hair so much!!!🙌🏼
Why does this woman give me carol baskin vibes
I literally feel nauseous when Connie talks
I am hearing a lot of tried-and-true cult tactics and techniques. I am decently well versed in the topic due to an utter fascination with human psychology. Anything in that realm I tend to study for the enjoyment.
Her analogies were painful to listen to.
I didn´t get the feeling that they are leaving but they seemed to me like they were "overcoming" the excuses that the big monat girls that left used in their leaving videos for example when she said that your purpose doesn´t have to be to sell shampoo seemed directed to the last monat leader that left. I think that other leaders are echoing those feelings and this is a desperate attempt at making them stay.
Girl is lying to herself! 🤡
**Constructive Criticism Alert** it's NOT "all the sudden". The correct phrase is "all of a sudden". 💛
Woooo I’m early!🤩
I say this with a kind heart- your videos and content are awesome but from my POV, I feel as if we are spoon fed your thoughts to a minutia level and it is repetitive. Think could be less # of interruptions. We get the points. Also, some of these women are at a life stage where they cannot be passionate about their jobs. Not everyone is. It is a means to an ends. So whether it is selling a MLM product or working for a 9-5 that is a not one’s dream, it is a means to an end. Larger point would be is that if it is a means to an end, then don’t work for an MLM as it won’t return, in dollars, the amount of time u spent on pushing its sub-par products. Also, you made great point from an analytical perspective of hey, sounds like they are leaving because (u explained why so well). I love ur passion, your frankness, and how much u care about helping people see what BS MLMs are & that’s why I continue to watch
Why are they always wearing hats? Is their hair look that bad?
There are two versions (I know of) of the story she butchered. One is set at a cathedral in the 1400s, the other at NASA in the 1950s; bricklayer and custodian, respectively. First person describes the labor, second is supporting their family, third is either building a temple to the glory of God or putting a man on the moon. Different ways of seeing an honest day's work.
What happened to be being a Monet liver 🙃
I hate any meeting or training that could have just been an email or a short Tiktok video.
And this training is not saying anything new or revolutionary or even particularly enlightening.
Such a waste of time.
And no, not everyone has the same obstacles. This toxic positivity is so ableist.
Just think about what amazing things could be done in research for ME/cfs, long Covid, and autoimmune diseases if all these huns and their energy were funneled into fundraising to find biomarkers, treatments, and true cures, not these mediocre products and predatory business practices.
This woman's strategy for filling her fifteen minute presentation is to say everything twice in a row. At least. I'm still not sure if she loves selling shampoo, or what her purpose is, maybe tell me a few more times girl.
She looks like JLO
