I am a naive (not as much anymore), honest, nice person who likes to help people. I thought I was helping people by leading them to an education about making money and understanding how to keep more of it. Because of the kind of person I am, several people joined IFEA under me. However, I’m not a business type, and some other people on my level or one higher, “invited” my new people to work directly under them because they would get better mentoring/advice. Sam allowed this to happen. Not only that, when a seasoned MLM man (named Jerry McCloud decided to join under me, Sam put Jerry directly under me. He said it would be better for Jerry and he would pay me a $500 finders fee. (He never did.) As if $500 would compensate! That was the last straw. I quit.

Many people at Sam’s level used to complain that he was a procrastinator, and not very organized. I can’t see him managing anything successfully. He puts on a great act, though. Charisma, etc.

Let’s get focused on what you (meaning everyone) can do to improve rather than just complain. Have you checked out http://www.elevationgroupvip.com ?

I never heard anything about the results of the court case either.

I’ve moved on to other things.

There’s a lot of money to be made in this industry by selling good products. Check out my youtube channel and subscribe.

Where did the name Sinisa Lajic come from? I knew Sam was dodgy. Would certainly like to hear more about these shady characters. Where is this court case won listed? Bring on the inside information!

It’s important that in situations such as this, feelings are gotten-off-one’s-chest which is exactly what is being done here. So I commend the webmaster for putting this together. Most people in EPI spent many years with the company and invested much blood sweat and tears and forged MANNNY good relationships, so this is somewhat of a divorce that will require much coping and support.

I stepped away from EPI in early 2008. So my reaction to the news was rather monotonous since I’m already well-detached from the organization. I’m just glad that my P1 product is still accessible. That’s my money.

I did have measurable problems with more than one member of the “ELC” but I didn’t harp on those issues enough nor were their actions the drive behind my leaving the company.

But I could indeed talk in great detail about the Monday Mindset calls, to which I only respond that I accept that I’ll never get those 1-hour weekly blocks of my life back. How many times did I want to email a picture of my facial expressions during the calls directly to Sam so he could see how much he was NOT helping.

To that point, I also contend that the big boom of philosophical teachings definitely infiltrated the EPI training process in a very bad way (e.g. What the Bleep Do We Know? and The Secret, the Law of Attraction, etc.) and while I will admit I’m somewhat biased against how those teachings are presented (both by the individual authors/producers of these works and the style of the turnaround-delivery of the people within EPI that were pushing it), I will say that when people have true ‘mindset issues’, those issues probably step wayyyy beyond any level where a Monday-night training call will targetedly address it. With that said, I saw the Monday Mindset calls as only a direct agitation to people’s true inner-core issues.

Furthermore, anyone who truly does carry severe inner-core issues that are conflicting with their own entrepreneurial success are going to get nowhere marketing any top-tier product or products, I don’t quite care who their director is or how successful they are. I won’t say top-tier marketing is hard work, but it is certainly not for the weary either.

A big problem within the home-based business industry is that it normally attracts the attention of people who are looking directly at having fantastic financial goals bring them satisfaction in life. You’ll probably think, yeah – so? The hugest problem in that is the fact that they’re looking for money to make them happy. If that’s true, they’re obviously not happy now. You’re still saying, yeah – so?

SO…their unhappiness is going to come through in their work and it is going to either make their presentation shaky or is going to discourage them from doing what is required of them to begin with. Why do you think fear of rejection is such a big issue in the HBB industry? They came chasing happiness through money! If one doesn’t have the mental/psychological expansiveness to not only separate the word “No” from the concept of something bad, but also to separate the concept of “money” from the concept of “happy”, listen that’s the least of their problems! The question becomes, what else are they really afraid of, and how long really, is that list of fears?

When you combine wonderful people who at the end of the day carry TRUE and VALID inner-core issues alongside a series of valuable yet still top-tier products – and then lock that combined scenario in the same room with a team of trainers who probably aren’t giving targeted guidance or encouragement, THAT spells failure.

And that problem exists whether you’re in Company A or Company X… and it’ll create potential for overall corporate failure anywhere.

This is off-topic. But I’m curious how you found this page to promote your URL.

But you’re actually wrong. Affiliate marketing does not generally pay per click. You may be referring to CPA or even Google Adsense. Both of which depend on understand how to drive quality traffic or high volume unqualified traffic.

Affiliate marketing generally pays only when a sale is generated by the click.
