PYRAMIDS AND MUMMIES

As usual, the project is up for criticism... Which is actually a positive as it gives me an opportunity to elaborate on the program again. Why people have such a focus on pyramids I'm not sure, most people have a mummy somewhere at home who hatched them, but very few seem to retain the sense they were born with.

Personally I've been in business for 30 years and never run across one yet (a pyramid not a mummy), although I do know quite a few people who have made fortunes out of MLM, neither of which have anything to do with this project. In the 24 week course we will be covering all the different ways entrepreneurs can make money with some insights from my experiences with the high and mighty that will undoubtedly surprise you. But what follows is my response to Star Now as they have decided the project is 'like' a pyramid scheme, actually one day I think I might start one just for fun....


Dear Jen,

We have absolutely nothing to do with pyramid schemes whatsoever. This is a genuine project in which we are attempting to develop people's perception towards success, supported by filming a documentary that will record the ups and downs of the whole endeavour, and why in today's society so many people and organisations reject success.... because it is popular to do so in societies so firmly based on fear & ignorance. We are completely transparent with all aspects of what we are trying to achieve, but still we face criticism that bears no relevance to reality.... which is the very basis for the project, why do people condemn others out of mis placed fear rather than fact and hold them back from success?

To say we are like ' a pyramid scheme'  and remove my membership from the site that has been with you for well over a year, without contacting me first or at least conducting some due diligence is symptomatic of the world we live in...I might as well say STAR NOW are like the Nazi party, or a scam to play on the hopes of thousands of individuals who sign up with little or no hope of actually landing a part, it's not what I think, but even if it was I wouldn't write to you telling you a subjective unsubstantiated thought, as that would be all it is and pointless.  We give the individuals we see the facility to actually be part of a documentary, earn from it and develop their skills so they may not live in a 'hope for the best' mind set and actually achieve their goals, hopes and aspirations. 

What we are trying to do is show how one person, any person, can take one hundred pounds and make a million in one year.. A feat that is perfectly feasible and of great inspiration in hard times. The only hurdle we face in achieving the goal is the approach that ...'because we don't understand a thing it must be... 'this'. How closed minded is that. Forgive my passion on this subject but this really is symptomatic of the problems the world currently faces.

You might as well say we are like a charity because we help people, or a entrepreneurial academy because we train people, or a motivational organisation because we motivate people, or a mentoring organisation because we mentor people....a documentary and a book on success. A project that lifts the lid on what holds people back in their conditioning to give them new hope and a chance of getting where they want.... But like a pyramid type scheme. Why say that? Why choose that? I'm not sure what in the advert would lend you to that conclusion. Do you understand what a pyramid scheme is.. Let me enlighten you..

A pyramid scheme is where one person pays money and introduces another and they introduce another and another, down a number of levels and all get paid on each others introductions for the sole purpose of making money.. It's illegal.. without a product, and as selling pyramids has been out of fashion for four thousand years and no one wants them anymore, so not a great bet. MLM on the other hand isn't illegal but again it's a similar principle with a product in toe.

So when you write to me saying what we are doing is 'like' illegal by the completely inaccurate use of the word, (you may reserve the right to exclude any member from you site) at least get the facts right, otherwise we are back to burning people  because we think  they might be a witch first and asking questions later.

I'm not so sure you will appreciate the comments made here simply because backtracking in human nature is called 'giving up the need to be right'. So many people go through life with the attitude there's no smoke with out fire, and people listen and are influenced by the media and the Internet to thinking and behaving in a way that certainly isn't to their advantage without asking questions... This is promoting fear for the very purpose of control. 

We seek empowerment for every person that would like to be empowered, as you promote success I would imagine you would encourage that goal.

All 100 participants are part of a profit share program that ultimately provides  95% of the revenues into their pockets for taking part without any pyramid building,  using their minds to develop ways to reach the combined goal and overcome the limiting factors society has conditioned them to expect, and reenforced by others in exactly the approach you have made to this project. We have also recruited presenters, coaches, camera crew and directors to conduct our filming when we have the 100 participants the title suggests.

We have a number of individuals who have responded to our adverts from Star Now who I will more than happily supply you with their details for your understanding and feel free to ask them if they are in a pyramid, triangle, square, round or arched window scheme.

I do feel if you see a dog it's a dog, it's like a pig because it's something,  but is a dog because it's got fur, woofs, you throw a stick and it looks at you like you are stupid, at least mine does. A pig on the other hand does piggy things, and whilst I have nothing against pigs per say, I don't call it a dog or vice versa.

Personally, as you will appreciate I'm not so sure I like to be put in the pyramid bag even erroneously, because whilst I have no particular views on the subject, like anyone I do resent being mis labeled or labeled in any way. I spend as much time as I can helping people to achieve and giving them every opportunity and skill to step up to their full potential with  guidance and expertise. One thing I don't do is fill people with false hope so they dream their life away, or build pyramids  ( I mean castles ) in the sand.

I look forward to hearing from you.
