I'm really discouraged. After 7 months of being an active distributor for monavie & TEAM I'm really at my wits' end. So I took myself off of autoship & canceled my website subscription. I tell you, it's a huge relief off my chest. Don't get me wrong, MV is legitimate, TEAM is an okay company, however, it's fine if the business is going well for you, and if you have the neccessary people skills but what about those of us who doesn't have the "inner materials" so to speak to do this type of business. I don't think it's a bad thing to get out and pursue another business option which is more suited for you. I know when I tried to give it up initially my upline tried to convince me that I need to change, or I need to develop, or I need to sacrifice, and to be honest,I'm on welfare, I have 2 credit cards that are maxed out and a line of credit that are maxed out, there's no way I can continue. And yes I've trimmed the fat off my budget big time, & we were just barely staying in our budget range, so I made the decision to cut myself completely off. On the positive side, I feel like a huge weight's been lifted off my chest, & with my online marketing business, I'm doing pretty darn good for only a person who's been in online marketing for only 6 weeks. I only want to get out of debt & then off of welfare & I think there r other ways you can do that. It doesn't matter if I'm "going to miss out on success" type thing I think success can be found anywhere if you have what it takes to achieve your goals. Anyway I'm just venting. I just don't appreciate the fact that I'm being put under a guilt trip when I leave. It's very unethical, in my opinion.

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you. I am currently working as a Distributor for MonaVie and I'm working with TEAM. I understand the financial situation; I am a college student living off of student aid money, and I find it difficult to keep on Autoship and TEAM's system. I will say in the TEAM's defense, that my grades have improved dramatically since I started listening to CD's and started reading books.
It's good thinking on your part to realize that success can be found anywhere if you have what it takes to achieve your goals. I also disagree that your upline tried guilt tripping you when you decided to leave. Can I ask who was your upline?

I'll add you as a friend, okay? I'm in Nova Scotia, so you most likely wouldn't know her name anyway. I was on Team Kaizan - that's Claude Hamiliton's team, who also lives in the same city as I do.

It sounds like you did the right thing for you and your budget. Not every online business opportunity is going to pan out. Don't feel bad that they're laying a guilt trip on you -- that's purely a business technique for them. Even the good companies are going to look out more for themselves than for you...you're the one who has to keep your own best interests in mind. Congratulations on a wise decision.

My friend is actually a member of that. Everyday I see his facebook status is about Mona Vie and promoting how great it is. This tells me that it is pure commission and that he isn't doing so well with it from what I can tell. Another company that most likely isn't worth your effort and makes their money from other people's hard work.

I'm sorry. Although I am not on the monavie team, I am a herbalife distributor so I can understand somewhat of what you are talking about. I personally think its wrong that they are trying to pull a guilt trip on you. I think that makes them look desperate. I hope things get better for you and that something comes around to help you!
