“I check the back office 30 times a day.” “Don’t focus on the numbers.” “I’m such a numbers person.” So what is it?
Exactly. Everything is a contradiction.
SO CONTRADICTING!
Lmfao
Hearing her talk about essentially ignoring younger kids so that you can be there when they’re older is infuriating. The youngest kids need the most attention, and it plays a vital role in healthy physical and mental development
Yes!!! Childhood is what makes who we are, for the most part! I can't believe she would think this way!
I physically cringed when she said that!! Worse than the woman who said stop working out & watching TV. While it is true they won't remember, that's not the point!! How very sad for a baby to be ignored to spend countless hours for something you're not even getting paid for! So much for the perk of being able to be home with your children! Unless that means, simply being in the same house. What horrible, terrible, ignorant advice!! 😢
@@sahdogwrangler5594 I'm glad there are other people out there that understand how important childhood is
No but it's ok because the kid won't remember! 🤣
Studies have shown that they WILL remember,actually. Not necessarily in the way we think of memory, but it’ll definitely mold them as a person in some way if they’re ignored as a baby/toddler.
The lady with the hat looks and sounds like someone I would completely avoid at all costs regardless of the situation.
FOR REAL!!! It also started to weird me out that EVERYTHING in her space was beige from the walls, the lamp, her outfit, everything!
Well don't worry she doesn't have time to hang out with you. Once she left Corporate America for all the "time freedom" she was going to get at Monat, she no longer even had time to watch a TV show or look up From her phone to have a conversation with her husband.
So you dodge that bullet...😂😂😂
She looks like she would chase me down a dark alley screaming, "Hey hun!"
So, to make 68,000 a year all I have to do is come up with 60,000 in sales…every month. I cannot fathom how people hear that and go “yeah, that feels right”.
& it's probably all 1099 income
I thought the same thing. $60,000 per month, every month, some of which you pay yourself. To ‘earn’ $68,000 a year not even that month 😵💫
And then you have to deduct all of the expenses that it took you to earn that money. These people are making less than minimum wage at the end of the day
Monat hun: "Nobody can motivate you."
Also Monat hun: "Watch people who motivate you in order to succeed."
Right!?! Then why do they have all the calls/videos and CONFERENCES! where people are pressured into going if not to get them MOTIVATED!! as usual, talking out of both sides of their mouth.
"You are stuck ??? Why are you stuck ? Whats wrong with you? YOU ARE NOT STUCK !!! " SCIENTOLOGY ANYONE ??
I was in Monat for 6 longgg months and it’s the RUclips anti-mlm community that really validated those doubts I was having. I’ve heard you say in a past video that you never think your videos will get anyone to leave their MLM, but I think there’s a LOT of women who are questioning whether to continue and it’s just a matter of them coming across an anti-MLM video bc that’s all it took for me. I’m so embarrassed I was part of this and posted about it. I was in that woman Ali’s downline and I remember when she ranked to SED. I posted in my stories congratulating her and how inspiring she was to have as a leader. Now here I am watching this cringing at her. Full circle moment.
Ps I love your channel, seriously your commentary is so good.
Was it hard to leave, or were you stuck in a contract for those 6 months?
Nothing says "I sell premium hair care products" like wearing a big ol hat.
Wouldn't be monat without the hat lol
Fortunately, I have never been hit up by Monat hunbots, but I have decided that if one of them does, I will say, "I'll pass. My hair already looks so good that I would never want to cover it with a hat."
The MoHat…or alternatively, the Hunbrero
@@ilurly Hunbrero ☠️
The sun hat indoors at night is deff becoming signature bossbabe look.
We've all been doing Zoom calls for two years now... it's astonishing that people *still* haven't figured out the "mute" button 🤦♀️
Let’s be honest; that kid singing was the highlight of that call for everyone involved.
@@Pippa87 truth! 😂😂
I know right? Who on this planet can't figure it out yet. Wtf
I couldn't help but laugh 😂 Usually I just blur the faces but for this one I blurred the entire screen because there was too much screen/switching from people leaving their mics on
So much ear jumpscares
This zoom call is fab. It's hilarious. As a business owner, I ave no need to buy products each month or buy stuff each month if I have enough inventory. Yet I still get to stay the owner of my business and I am the only person who runs it because it's a business of one, myself. No recruiting or buying my owner rank.
And you don't have to "train" your employees 2 times a week. Or ask people to join you business otherwise you make no money.
You just need customers to get your coin.
Oh and have i mentioned your business isn't unethical? Nor do you have to prove it isn't illegal 🤣
And you can claim your business expenses from the taxes, just like a real business owner.
It’s really sad that we’ve come to a time where when a random woman comes up to you to complement your outfit you think to yourself “ is she just trying to recruit me into her MLM? “
They are eroding the trust and vulnerability that allows us to form meaningful relationships with others. I too, will look side-eyed at any stranger who approaches me and starts unsoicited conversation. They have ruined social media on almost every platform. I hate it.
This is so true. A random women approached me in a craft store to compliment my hair, ask me about the project I was working on then go on to tell me how I was so creative & that she had a “business for creatives” she’d love to get me involved with. I was, obviously, very flattered & agreed to meet with her at a bakery to talk about her business. The entire meeting she kept telling me that I’d have to sign up with a company before I could start working with her business (but don’t worry, sign-up is super easy & hassle-free plus you get paid to do what you already love!). I noticed she kept saying “the company” but never the company name. When I finally confronted her about that, she told me it was Amway. Business for creatives my ass 🙄
I used to have this Mary Kay rep constantly compliment me on my makeup and every time she did she asked me if I had time for a Mary Kay Makeover. I always told her I was too busy, so she finally offered to do it on my lunch break. I politely declined lol.
This happened to me at Target. A woman complimented my great skin and asked what I used. I was actually flattered until she handed me her Mary Kay card.
😂Amway selling craft supplies now? Because isn’t that the pitch-we carry/sell everything you need?@@naeshelle
I find it hilarious how this is a HAIR MLM and they claim how awesome their products are yet they wear the biggest stupidest hats lol 😂
I call it The Hat and I hate it with the burning fire of a thousand suns. LOL
And on a zoom call? I don’t hate the hat but…time and place?
@@melissaj1310 same. Every time I see these stupid beige hats I get irrationally angry 😂
@@desireemclaughlin1455 I remember one zoom call or an Insta live an anti MLMer was reacting too, it was three Monat girls all wearing The Hat. Their faces were blurred which made it even funnier when they were all nodding at something. 😂 The Nodding Hats!!!
I call it the Monat Hat - and I rhyme Monat with hat
"I'm going to neglect my 6 month old child while I harass people but it's ok because he won't remember when he's older 🥰"
Man that’s heartbreaking. They grow so fast and she’ll regret missing out on this time with them.
But joining this business opportunity lets me spend more time with my family!!
If I took a drink every time they said "business", I'd be dead now.
I might use this technique after all the trauma i got from this video
@@nobodyyyyy666 and

I was contacted about joining an MLM and I told the person I didn’t feel comfortable pretending to be someone’s friend just to sell them something. She asked me why I had a problem with doing that, and I said “what if someone is really needing a friend and think that they have found someone that cares, how will they feel when they realize the motivation was recruiting them so we could make a profit.” And this girls response was “if you are going to care about things like that, this business won’t work for you.” Then she unfollowed me.
Gross. And good for you. I had someone reach out to me once some 10 years ago when I was going through postpartum depression after I posted something on Facebook about how I was having a tough time. She sent me a message that seemed to empathize with what I was going through and I thought it was SO nice that she took notice and took the time to reach out - I was feeling like the loneliest person in the world. And then she turned around and invited me to her MLM party and tried to sell me stuff as a way to “make me feel better”. It made me angry and it hurt. And yeah - it was an instant unfriend and block from me. I’m glad you’re conscious enough to consider other people REAL people and not do this to others.
My mom was a teen mom who dropped out of high school to have me, followed shortly by my brother. She worked 2 and even 3 jobs while going to college and raising us as a single mom and she became a pharmacist and never once did she feel the need to get involved in a pyramid scheme. I myself am a single mom with 2 degrees and a legitimate career in corporate marketing...never joined an mlm.
Thank goodness, because you are a PRIME target for these huns! Your mom sounds like an amazing person who worked very hard and made it, and you are too! I wish you the best.
Yessss what a wonderful testimony!
the hairspray doubling as makeup setting spray is actually an old drag queen trick - it's not pulled from nowhere! Hairspray is skin safe, and a matte, gentle hold spray leaves a surprisingly nice finish and doesn't feel bad! i've been using it on myself for years with zero issue lol. now, would i, as a trained makeup artist, ever use it in this way on a client? No! It comes across as tacky and unprofessional, and it's certainly not something to bring up in a sales pitch for your garbage pyramid scheme.
I knew about this as a trick, but someone tried it on me once without warning me - I have very sensitive skin and eczema, so you can maybe imagine how that panned out. Ofcourse, if you know you are not sensitive to that sort of stuff, you do you! But these women shouldn’t just be recklessly recommending it to anyone like that. 🙈 It’s also definitely not always eye safe, so be careful with this!
@@LunaVespertine omg WHAT they seriously didn't check with you? that's so fucked up wtf.
Back in my theater days, I did this ALL the time.
I was coming to say Dancers do that but certain hairsprays can cause breakouts
I did this a few times in high school and I also do it when I run out of setting spray but whenever I do it, I know to expect that I'll be breaking out the next day. It's nothing revolutionary but I also wouldn't trust someone who would tell me "you can use hair spray as a setting spray!!" because you never know who is that person with sensitive skin.
Can we talk about how they were shocked that a lawyer and a financial advisor weren't getting back to them about joining an MLM
Delusional, my lawyer friends make 500k, and my FA friends, no way they'd give that up for some crappy MLM hair care pyramid scheme 😂
“Our hairspray can double as makeup setting spray” is a prime example of the fact that these reps receive zero product training and as such have no business recommending products!
ikr? Like, imagine a Pure Romance hun telling customers that the lube should be used as cooking grease.
oh my god yea!! even me, the farthest thing from a makeup or hair girl, knows that's not a thing????? ouch!!???
I mean, drag queens use hair spray to make their makeup literally not move at all and stay for an entire show. But it isn't a usual thing, nor should it be done tbh and if you do it, shouldn't be done every day. And no professional EVER would use it on a clients face, nor would a hair stylist actually tell you to use hairspray that way
@@kyutsu I was gonna say it was a very common practice to use hair spray as setting spray when I was in cheer but that was also 20 years ago and there wasn't a thing called setting spray lol. It definitely did hold makeup in place but it burned your eyes so bad when you would sweat.
I came here to say this. Like. What?!
Telling people to stop watching TV is so reminiscent for me of the religious cult I found myself in years ago. They didn't want us to watch TV either. They said it was a waste of time... "Why watch TV when you could be doing the Lord's work?" they would say. Constant guilting their members for not spending every waking moment dedicated to their "church". This absolutely falls under the "information control" section of Steven Hassan's BITE Model of Authoritarian Control.
Daytime cable is a waste of time lol
“Don’t watch TV. Don’t work out. Don’t go out with Friends on weekends at the end of the month when everybody is paid. Ignore your children when they’re so young, miss all the milestones to be glued to your phone” YASSSSS SIGN ME UP, sounds absolutely ✨INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!✨
When I was seven years old I used to play store or office or school and I sounded about as nonsensical as these women “training” on these calls.
I loved playing school and office. Especially if I had an old rotary phone!!!
Maybe the child who's been ignored will play MLM zoom call
Playing store now as a 30 something year old sounds way more fun than this!
Telling Mom's that time with their kids doesn't matter before they're in elementary school is absolutely insane, and I would bet that most early education teachers could point out notable differences in children whose parents gave them attention, and those who didn't.
And I know that EVERY child will tell these women that the "lifestyle" their Mom is working toward doesn't even compare in importance to their Mom being present, and in the moment when they're together.
Just because they can't remember every moment doesn't mean it doesn't impact them.
Run. Run away. And don't look back.
Absolutely! I had a 4 year old in my class with emotional issues because her teacher parents would pay more attention to her older brother and drop her of at daycare on snow days, but keep the brother home. When she threw a toy car at his head they finally got counseling. The center had been talking to them about her issues for over a year before that.
I'm a preschool teacher. We can tell which kid's parents care more about a phone than them. I work with kids as young as 2.
That is time and precious moments you will never get back. So sad that these huns will look back and see they missed some beautiful time with their babies for 'working their business'
The brains are developing so much in the first 12 months and it's so important to give them attention.
That advice was horrid. Children start to develop their attachment style as early as 1 year old! Just because they don't remember specific memories, doesn't mean that they're not affected. The environment and relationships they experience in those early years can heavily impact them as kids, teens, and adults.
The amount of parallels between toxic MLMs and my old church are alarming af. It's all about shutting yourself off from the world, personal development because YOU'RE the problem, sharing really personal things to show that you have a story and that the business can redeem your life, it's so so gross.
This is why churches and MLMs go hand and hand. Same tactics.
It's a shame that people use religion to manipulate because religion doesn't have to be that way. It can be very rewarding and motivating and helpful when in dark moments. It's a bummer
All cults are fundamentally the same.
I have not found that at any church I have ever been too.
@@Michelle-xk9gl that's really fortunate of you!
Barely a minute into her talking and I just can’t…
Monat hun: “The key thing to this business is repetition. The same thing over and over again.”
Me: MA’AM NO! THATS THE DEFINITION OF INSANITY
How do they not see the pyramid shape?! "If my upline has to recruit to make a worthwhile income, and if I have to recruit to make a worthwhile income, and if my downline has to recruit to make a worthwhile income, then nobody is actually selling the shampoo, so... ... ... this MUST be a legitimate business!"
They usually reply with the ol’ every-org-chart-is-a-pyramid nonsense.
When I was in Rodan and fields, I spent HOURS every evening and all my spare time on the weekends sending messages and researching to create content and watching all the training materials I could find (a lot of which I paid for). I was miserable because I wasn’t giving myself any leisure time, I wasn’t spending any time with my husband, and I felt guilty any time I could be “working” but wasn’t. (Plus, I was losing money, of course.) Eventually I realized that the MLM life just wasn’t for me, and I’m so glad I made that decision before we had our son!
At the end when one of the ladies said she wants this to be “fun” and “an outlet” for everyone, I was reminded of how often I felt like I was on a roller coaster in my mlm.
One day I’m feeling good, the next I’m unsure, the next I’m sad, the next I’m excited. It was awful.
And before there was advice to sacrifice
So, essentially, they want you to have a good time with "working the business," but shout "NOT LIKE THAT" when people want to practice self-care or do things they enjoy. Gotcha.
Basically- yes. You can't do anything else in life except for the business and can never stop working. And you're expected to enjoy this.
“Who told you you’re stuck? You’re tying yourself down to wherever you’re stuck at.” Geez, I’ve never even been in an MLM and *I* feel gaslit.
It is HYSTERICAL how they keep contradicting themselves and each other! 🤣
As a mother of 3 kids, the baby stage goes by so fast. It only lasts a year. That is so sad what they are pushing. I’ll never regret that bonding time I had with my babies.
I just cannot with these people on this call... can they even hear themselves? My manager would never tell me that if I want to move up a level in my position (FYI I'm with the federal government in Canada) then all I have to do is stop going to my gym, stop watching TV and ignore my kids? What. It's a load of boohockey. Who does this. Only mlm reps thats what. I can't even with these people. This call is infuriating and full of lies
Yes it's crazy advice that should definitely make people raise an eyebrow!
Two questions: 1) why if your products are so good aren’t you showing off your hair? 2) why is she wearing a hat while being indoors????!! Urggghhhh I can’t with these huns!! 😫😫😫😫😫😤😤😤😤😤
This woman does not understand how childhood development works. 0-5 years is the most important time in a child’s entire life (developmentally wise) and here she is telling us she has missed his life from age 6 months to four years thus far. Way to go lady, you’ve just missed the most important stages in his entire life and you’re saying it doesn’t matter.
I hate this! The early years are when a child is forming his/her personality and learning their family’s values. That’s the prime time for socialization and learning how to function appropriately in society.
The phrase "work your business" makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a spork.
Same with “this business” for me
This video has to be among some of the best anti mlm information available. You shut all of the pointless mindset talk down hard and pulled the focus back into the impossible nature of the task they're requiring people to complete. Fantastic info
I feel for the people whose questions weren’t answered. I’ve been there before, not in an MLM, but in a parallel industry: coaching (life, business, spiritual, etc). I struggled and asked honest questions and got the same types of responses from “experts”. Ultimately I gave up for multiple reasons and watching these anti-MLM videos helps me to see and debunk the stuff I heard and saw. There is so much in the coaching space that is taken directly from the MLM playbooks. Also it’s another situation where you had to get in years ago to be successful. It’s so saturated now. And rife with psychological abuse.
“Three before me” is actually great advice. I’m gonna use this with a coworker that is always asking everyone else how to do things. I can’t believe I actually got good advice from an MLM team call lol.
The one girl says “stop focusing on the numbers” when only minutes before she said she “checked her back office 20 times a day”…these ladies are a walking contradiction. Also, I’ll pass on the whole using hairspray as a makeup setting spray. Yikes!!
Regarding working your MLM business in the evenings after your full time job- I worked a part time job a few evenings a week + Saturdays in addition to my full time job for a couple of years (to pay off my car and all my credit card debt) and I have to say I wasn't giving 100% at either job after a while because I didn't have downtime to get rested and refreshed. Sundays were spent getting caught up on everything I didn't have time to get to during the week, and I wound up being burned out and exhausted. Would not recommend this to anyone!
My favorite part of this one is, ‘we called a lawyer and she didn’t follow up.’ Um, yeah, it’s probably because she’s a successful attorney and she doesn’t need to chase down clients. Legal advice and selling overpriced shampoo is not the same thing.
This is exactly what I was thinking!
Congrats on 15K!
Its mind boggling to me the number of people who can’t or won’t acknowledge that this is a flawed business structure. Flawed, but not broken, since it’s working exactly the way it was intended to work.
Also, recruiting 60 people and getting them all to sell $1,000 a month is easy? Ma’am, what?!
um, you know something weird that I've noticed on a lot of these Monat calls.... none of them have hair that I would want to aspire to reach. That ignored question really makes me wonder: WHY are these "top" people covering their "hair" or perhaps their lack of it? Hats, headbands tight ponytails... are they too experiencing the loss of hair? Just a thought
Huh, this is interesting. You'd think the #1 way to sell haircare products would be to have incredible hair. Like, shouldn't there be tons of training calls about how to do your hair? Shouldn't the huns be posting hair pics all day? It's almost like the point of an MLM isn't to sell products... 🤔
@@ryleighsweet2375 absolutely. I can't believe so many people are being manipulated into this 'fancy, fancy triangle shaped' S C A M !!
I laughed when she said, "It makes me not want to hire them."
Who's hiring anyone here? 😂😂
And "we can't motivate anyone."
Then wtf is the purpose of these calls and all the "personal development" work they supposedly do?
Love when she says "being stuck is something you do to yourself." Yup, getting stuck IS something you do to yourself... By joining a MLM.
My 17 year old daughter gets inspiration from both her dad and myself. We both have full time jobs, we work hard and we are a team. She's a hard worker too and didn't need a mlm to do it 😂
YESSS WE LOVE THAT!
I can help the woman who wants to know about how to address the hair loss accusations.
She needs to make sure the customer is washing their hair properly with the product. So:
Under a full moon.
Using water blessed by a left handed priest.
Three times anti clockwise motions, then twice clockwise.
Rinsing with water at NO MORE than 16 degrees Centigrade (None of your Fahrenheit nonsense, what is wrong with you guys).
Sit upside down with your hair pointed due North West West for 23 minutes and 12 seconds before you even think about picking up a hairdryer.
Easy.
16.66 degrees celsius only.
What is the car emoji? Is it a MLM car? I know it's a perk for channel members. I just don't know what it stands for. 🤷
Lmaooooooo
Yes, because if monat does not work...it is aaaaalways the customers' fault bc monet is wonderful, magnificent and perfect and drenched with the tears of gods
🤣🤣🤣🤣 omg that was great!
May I thank her from the bottom of my heart for clearly stating you have to recruit???
Hannah you have become my favourite anti mlm commentator channel. ❤️ You have such a sweetness about you - and even while you’re being critical you’re still very respectful and never come off as rude. I’m loving how intelligent you are, and all the positivity! Keep it up beautiful 😻
Omg!! I clicked so fast I'm literally binge watching all your videos right now. I found you like a week ago and gurl I have learned alot. Im watching you as I work 😁
I love that!! Thanks for watching!
Isn't she great?!
@@KvDenko yes she is.
That's so awesome! Welcome to her downline haha
@@kristyrussell1748 yea im the new recruit hi 🙋♀️ I'm here for the new car. 🤣
New subscriber - loving these videos!!!
Only thing I want to say here - the “hustle culture” isn’t just in MLMs….it’s widespread in the medical field too…and a 50+ hour work week is pretty much the normal.
So happy you’re here Brandy! And yes, so true. Hustle culture exists in lots of fields!
Yup. Same in my field. I don't bother seeking out self-improvement presentations anymore because they all give the same vague, generalized advice that sounds warm and fuzzy and inspiring but in practice has little to nothing to do with changing your specific situation. I am so tired of hearing that the first step to being successful is to wake up every morning at 4am and go to the gym. And then they said that exact thing here! I have heard that exercising in the morning is better for you, but I think making statements like that is basically the same thing as getting your tarot cards or palm read: cold reading.
I can honestly say that I despise these greedy, manipulative and tone deaf hunbots.
I always find it interesting how huns always find multiple multiple uses for their products. The hairspray as setting spray made me laugh 🤣
And in Young Living they told us to use the Thieves toothpaste as deodorant. Can you imagine ?
Not as bad as Luluroe making consultants wear leggings as scarves.
Lol the toothpaste should double up as toilet cleaner for obvious reasons 💩
When she said you can use the hairspray as a makeup setting spray, you and I both said, “What?!… No…” at the exact same time hahaha
I can't remember how I ended up watching your videos, but I've been hooked since I found you and I'm pretty sure I've watched every single mlm related video.
Thanks for all the entertainment and info! :)
There’s nothing wrong with being “dependent” on a man. Stay at home moms is a full time job and pouring that love and time into kids is not only good for the children but for society as a whole. You cannot ignore your kids and then think there won’t be long term effects from that.
Right. The man is dependent on the woman too. All of these victim narratives are so divisive 😔
Oh my goodness FACTS!!!!!!!!!
My husband always tells me to not have so much monetary guilt. He says you do more work than any job tending the baby/toddler all day. He works from home but is in his office on a headset all day. I feel crazy sometimes but I feel sooooo fortunate to not have to put my baby in daycare. I would love to find some “passive” income but no mlm! 😂
ALL moms are working moms.
Working moms love and take care of their kids too and also show them to be ambitious. My mom's a Dr and to say she is less of a mom cause she doesn't personally clean the house is ridiculous. I respect her so much and so does my dad.
I really love your fact and statistic based channel regarding MLM's. It's refreshing to watch your videos because I know your commentary is respectful ALWAYS and has little to no opinion of your own.
"Keeping your team motivated is not a thing, we can't motivate anybody (...) the motivation was gone by day 4." Big YIKES! Why does that sound that their toxic behavior shows up really early?
Anybody in a real job will tell you that being motivated is one of the keys to success? The less motivated someone feels, the less they feel like participating and the quicker will toxic behavior spread like a bad weed. Miss, the reality of the situation is that your paycheck depends on if these people feel motivated or not to help you get paid- they can straight up leave and tell their mutuals (if, hopefully, the MLM didn't destroy relationships) to not buy this product or anything with the brand name on it and gone is that market for you, doors closed forever.
Also, there's a difference between living with a working mother and a mother in an MLM- because a mother in an MLM that is not on the top, will be a struggling mother. And there's no worse feeling for a child than seeing their parent in a bad situation and feeling utterly helpless as their parent struggles to get the money for that month's rent.
My sensitive skin literally screamed "she puts WHAT on her face?!"
Using hair spray as a setting spray is giving major early 2000s vibes.
Hahaha I said the same thing. Bringing back that burning eye feeling from late 90s, early 2000s cheer competitions.
It's exhausting to hear these MLM huns push positivity and struggle and self development so hard that they turn them into something toxic.
What!!! They don’t think it matters cause the can’t remember as small babies?? That is sad to me, those early years they are building connections, confident, peace, etc for their whole life! When they are older they can talk but they can’t tell you why they feel lonely! Perhaps it is because they were lonely as a five month old. I just think balance has to be used at all times in your children lives.
“Don’t just focus on numbers, focus on how to achieve these numbers”

Like these are different…
So sacrificing your time with friends and/or family, your weekends, your evening, all for mediocre salary at best that you can get working many many regular jobs that allow weekends, days off, time off, vacations, etc., all in hopes to be that 0.1-0.2 percent who manage to make good money (but can still loose it at any time). Wow, great opportunity, sign me up, not!
When the hun told to give up working out, meeting friends, etc, I remembered another Monat hun's video where she proudly stated she was barely getting any sleep as she was busy recruiting/working with USA and Europe markets. Not sure how that was supposed to sound inspiring.
"I want you guys to have fun! Just take the stress and emotion out of it." ...but don't watch TV, exercise, spend too much time with your kids, go out with friends...
and eat dinner in front of your computer every night while on hunbot zoom calls. No family dinner, you've got work to do!
When she started talking about "sharing your struggles, someone will be able to relate," I thought about that scene in The Office when Jim and Pam were using their pregnancy to get sales and Dwight tried to do the same thing but ended up oversharing and got hung up on. I feel like that's a good fit, honestly.
"Have fun with this business!" "Just don't have fun outside of it! You need to work NOW!"
Omg, I just dropped out of this because I did not research as much as I should've in the beginning. I'm glad I realized right away that this was sketchy. I do have a few documents still if you would like them. I hate that other people are getting played and lied to.
I love how contradicting MLM people are. It's like they can't even hear themselves when they say this crap.
"You can make your own schedule! You can work whenever you want and from wherever you what!"
---"If you're serious about this business, you'd be working your business 24/7. You'd be working it until 9pm and eating dinner while on a call."
"This business allows you to spend time with your kids. You can be with them all the time and be in their lives."
---"Your kid isn't gonna remember how much you worked until they're 5, so it's okay to neglect them for your business."
"Your business is what you make it. How much work you put in is what you get out. It all depends on you!"
---"You need a team. You can't do this alone. Your success depends on your team."
"If you neglect everything in your life and work hard now, you can have it easy later!"
---"You need to be nonstop all the time. Just because you did great last month, doesn't mean you can stop now. Every month is a new beginning. We should ALWAYS be hustling!"
When she started explaining how she would stick her 5 month old in front of a TV 😭 why is missing out on the first year of your child’s life being normalized. That’s time you’ll never get back.
I agree! I have kids and it’s true - they grow up fast. They’ll never be that little again and the guilt and regret will hit hard.
Yay, a child who will get problems of focus, learning disabilities and an addiction to screens! ❤ As a future teacher for middle and high-school, I beg you to not do that to your children.
I’m a manager in a company & have fewer than 15 people reporting to me. The thought of having to recruit, build and maintain a team of 30-60 people to just make a livable wage that’s at risk every single month makes me feel literally sick. I agree I don’t know how this doesn’t immediately seem suspicious. 😒
Thanks for all your hard work lately Hannah, I love watching your videos while I work!
Skipping a workout, no time with friends, that is a recipe for a heart attack, for a mental health breakdown, it's terrible and dangerous the way they are 'training' these new Boss Babes. Are they serious?? You're not motivated unless you're prepared for heart failure? You're not working hard enough if you haven't had at least one stroke? You're not serious enough unless you've destroyed one close friendship? Damm!! These Huns are downright dangerous! You don't have to be a mental health professional to know that you need time away from work, time for yourself, time for mental, physical and social fitness. You are absolutely right Hannah, balance is the key. That woman talking about her baby's first year is unbelievable!! I'm a Mom who's raised three boys, and I have 4 amazing grandkids and let me tell you, you BOND that first year!! They don't remember, but their security is tied up in a loving Mom who picks them up when they cry, who sits with them when they have a hard time breathing at night, their security, love and bond is forged that first year. Just because they don't remember it, doesn't mean they're not feeling it! Good Lord these people!!!
I notice that many, MANY Monet reps wear hats in Zoom calls. Which seems odd for a company touting supposedly amazing hair care products. 🤔
"Your 6 moth old won't remember you ignoring him" umm...exactly. They can't remember being little WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO THAT!!!! The momories of the little years are ours, and they are precious, and kids will ask about them. "How old was I when I...?" "What was my first word?" "what did I like to play?" Our memories of our babies are PRICELESS!
The gaslighting is so infuriating!
You're stuck? Need help?
"You're not stuck, it's a mindset and you're lazy"
Also, work hard, ignore yourself, your children, your family, grind, grind, grind!
But, HAVE FUN!
That lady in the tie dye is always so flippant about any struggle people are having. She's got all the answers, and the answer is always "you're to blame".
Oatmeal girl’s voice is so grating. “Woke up at siiiiix…” 😂 The dramatic hat really rounded out the beigeness of it all.
The hairspray-as-setting-spray thing is an old theater/drag trick bc once you spray a little on your face the makeup won't budge. I used to do it all the time when I'd be on stage. Also works great to prevent static build up on your legs when you need your skirts to not be sticky.
OoOoOoOoOo i LOOVE your eyeshadow brush technique. I’m pretty sure I look like a toddler when I’m applying mine via brush but hey. Still turns out great. I just wish I looked as feminine and professional 😂
Uh oh! I was wondering why I didn't get a notification and for some reason I was unsubscribed... Just giving a heads up for you. Great video once again!
Darn RUclips unsubscribing people!!
You are so pretty! Thanks for another great video! Also, just realized, I must like you because your background is in education. I swear I have a magnet for teachers. I'm the son of two teachers and swore I wouldn't go into Education, but here I am, an academic advisor in the College of Education at a big10 University. I do love it, but gosh is it hard sometimes! Thanks for being you!
My mum told me everyone used to spray their face with hair spray to set the make up back in the day… before setting spray haha
I remember being on arbonne calls and being like "wow these people are amazing, look at all the great things they are doing" motivating me to do those things and being unsuccessful. It hurts self esteem. Needless to say it didn't last long.. buh- bye
Also how did I not know to do my own simple research to look into this business- you are in it and submerged with no regard for anything else aside from "making money" I tried to sell my mom a $50 BODY SCRUB and told her she was supporting my business. NO.
Keep being you, Hannah!
It's mind-boggling to me that one of them complained about their downline asking too many questions and "bothering" them. They prey on vulnerable people that are desperate to be rescued, and then leave them flailing in a world unknown to them. So messed up.
HAPPY 15K girly!!!! So well deserved and earned!
Honestly, 9 to 5 sounds sooo much better than her alternative of giving up literally everything but work. And if anyone believes that it’s only going to be a year and then they can go back to normal, they are delusional because people loose ranks the minute they stop “hustling”, people fall of all the time. So now we know, the only way to be “successful” in Monat is to give up all your time freedom (ironic, isn’t it?).
The hairspray as makeup setting spray is like a "hack" for when you can't actually go out and buy some before some kind of event or going out. I've heard it on makeup forums before, but no legit hairspray would ever advertise to spray it on your face!
Hairspray on your face is okay. It's safe for your skin and when you run out of setting spray its a completely fine replacement and gives the same result. Its been used for stage makeup ages ago.
Maybe business attorneys and financial advisors didn’t follow up because they have ACTUAL clients and they are busy? Maybe they’re providing legal/financial guidance while getting paid what they deserve? Instead of pretending to be busy with DMs full of people wanting to join you for such an aMaZiNg bUsSiNEss oPPoRtuNItY 😂 but what do I know, I’m just trading my time for money working at a 9-5 🙃
It is so frustrating that she says the time with kids isn't as important when they're younger. That is a VERY important time in their lives that they need love and attention. Even if they can't speak, they are still developing and it can still affect them.
All these MLM zoom calls are the top 0.1 % just talking & talking but never say anything!! Their ‘training’ consists of quotes from Pinterest xx love your channel 🥰 keep fighting the good fight xx love from Jersey, Channel Islands
Is Monat there? Please no
@@maryeckel9682 no thankfully 😅😂 just Arbonne & I think Herbalife some of my mates were in both but no longer thank god
Honestly the hair spray as setting spray isn't bad if you use the right brand. Back in the early 2010's us cosplayers set out makeup for cons with hairspray before setting spray was a Well Known Thing
So, if I've got this straight... I won't have time to exercise while I'm building "my" business, and if I (erroneously) think I'm stuck, I should do something that motivates me, for example: exercising.
well obviously, the answer is to record yourself exercising for your story, including the pre-workout where you used your hairspray - I mean makeup setting spray to lock in that look before you hit the treadmill! don't forget your before and after!!!
I can't believe you got this amazing footage! Honestly their professionalism and speech style is so lacking I'm surprised anyone believes a thing they say!
I will defend one thing they said - hairspray can totally be used as setting spray. Crazy buy true. It's an old hack pre-setting spray that was common for stage performance and pageantry. I can't imagine it's good for the skin and completely unnecessary nowadays but it's real 😅
Way back in my theater days of early high school, we would use hairspray as a make up setting spray. When we were on stage, under the bright lights, wearing half a pound of make up already anyway, never ever for daily wear. It’s a theater trick, and you never want to look like you’re on stage when you’re not. Because that make up does not flatter anyone in natural light.
60k OV per month? Holy Cannoli that’s crazy! Of course they have to recruit a lot of people just to maintain this. 😱
Oh damn, before you mentioned the "I just joined Monat two weeks ago, signed up my best friend and now I'm supposed to be training her twice a week" I didn't even think about that part.That sounds so incredible ridicolous, especially given the fact that most people's first sign ups are friends, loved ones, significant others and family members. Yo watch me train my mum(?) twice a week on Zoom. What in the.
listening to this again about a year later! I thought you said "they call themselves STDS" when it was actually SEDs!
Thanks for the laugh. I am in the middle of a tough few months and listening to your videos -AGAIN!, helps calm me down
so basically their business is to find customers who buy 'the idea of having a business'. the people 'below them' don't realize they themselves are the customers. this doesn't seem ethical. i'm glad you are making content about this.
