Rolling Stone Flops When They Discuss MLM Instead of Music

 
Rolling Stone is pulling at strings when they hire an in-trouble journalist to write an opinion piece on MLM that contains dated criticism, much like their reputation.
In a post-recession era when many Americans are feeling dis-heartened by the traditional path of school,college, and a 9-5, Caleb Hanna, journalist for Rolling Stone magazine, writes an opinion piece about how a few individuals in Vemma are targeting college kids with a business opportunity, with a less-than-honest approach about the opportunity itself. It’s criticism that was common in the 80’s, when few people truly understood the network marketing opportunity. However, to hear a somewhat reputable publication write an article that questions the tactics with typical media spin techniques, it’s a wonder Rolling Stone isn’t doing so well. 
International Business Times, an online publication, calls Rolling Stone ‘a gasping dinosaur’ and RS’s lack of research in having a journalist, who has — not once — but twice, been in journalistic hot water is evident that when reading an article, one should consider the source. 
In 2011 public records indicate that Hannan stands accused of “failing to do any due diligence at all on the story.” (In regards to a Seattle Times article)
One thing is certain, Hannan

Ackman Sends Warning To Herbalife’s New Compliance Chief

 
The NY Post reported earlier today:
Bill Ackman wants to give Herbalife’s new head of compliance, Pamela Jones Harbour, a few pointers.
The billionaire activist and Herbalife’s biggest critic on Thursday fired off a 19-page letter to Harbour — who has been on the job just a month — telling her that she has her work cut out for her.

“Based on our extensive investigation over the past three years, we believe Herbalife operates the largest and best-managed pyramid scheme in the world,” David Klafter, a lawyer for Ackman’s Pershing Square hedge fund, wrote in the letter first reported by Reuters.

Harbour is facing an “immense” challenge as the company’s business will likely collapse if she does her job and acts in the best interests of consumers, the letter warns.
“You may find yourself at the fulcrum of choosing between protecting consumers or protecting the company. Based on our research, we do not believe you can do both,” Klafter said.
Herbalife’s declining sales in the US over the past two quarters indicate that is already happening, Klafter suggested.
Since Herbalife stunned Wall Street on Monday with lower-than-expected earnings and dismal projections, the stock has fallen about 30 percent, closing at $39.99 on Thursday.
While Herbalife has suggested

Leadership Interview With Visalus’ 1-Star Ambassadors Lattoia Andrews & Cornelius Massey

 
Lattoia Andrews & Cornelius Massey speak about their “all in” mindset and how the possibility of reaching the $250K Lifetime Earnings mark was closer than ever.
Today, they’re past that goal and still rising. 
Vi: What does it mean to be $250K Vi Lifetime Earners?
Lattoia & Cornelius: It’s an amazing feeling. It shows our hard work… but most importantly it means that for every dollar we’ve earned, someone else’s life was impacted, someone else on our team is one step closer to hitting his or her Challenge goal, and someone else is one step closer to generating additional income. It’s not just about the earnings, but whose life are you looking to impact? 
Vi: How has achieving this milestone made an impact on your Vi business?
L&C: Hitting this milestone is truly a blessing, and it has inspired so many people that it can be done. We were just regular individuals with a military background, but we had a hunger for more and helping others. We went all in. We’ve been able to show people that the possibilities are endless when you dedicate as much effort as possible to something you believe in. Belief plus action will always equal results! 
Vi: What other ways are you going

Isagenix Couple Makes Crystal Executive In 6 Months

 
The recession left John and Kathie financially devastated. Over the years, the couple got to the point where they couldn’t pay the minimum on all of their credit cards.

“Severe devastation is when creditors are calling you every day,” says 67-year-old John. “Because of that financial devastation, my wife and I were also experiencing severe health devastation.”

John and Kathie live in a remote area backed into the Yosemite National Forest. Married for 36 years, John and his wife, spent most of the last couple of decades taking care of elderly parents.
“We were only able to make $1,000 per month and we couldn’t survive off of that,” shares John.
Searching for another method to pay off debt, John and Kathie were looking for a different solution.
It’s All About the Research
As an aging couple, John and Kathie wanted to find the right Isagenix products for their health.
“What I love about Isagenix is that you have so many product choices,” shares John. “But we chose what products were comfortable for our specific situation and what was affordable for us at the time.”
“I was intrigued with Product B® IsaGenesis®,” says John. “And I marveled at the science and research behind the product. The research is extremely

Vísi Pro Attributes Bodybuilding Championship To Exclusive Products

 
On November 1, natural bodybuilder Darrin Grosenick won several honors in the International Natural Bodybuilding Federation’s Canada Western National Championships. Grosenick, who is also a Vísi Arctic 3-Star Partner, has been using Vísi products as his exclusive supplementation regimen and has found incredible results.
At 48, Grosenick says he’s in the best shape of his life, with “incredible energy, incredible flexibility—at the competition, I was like a 10-year-old on a playground.” Even competing against men half his age, Grosenick won first place in the Lightweight category. He also earned top honors in the Master’s class and earned his Pro card, allowing him to compete in events around the world.
He attributes much of his success to consistently using the entire Vísi product line. He says what he likes best about Vísi’s certified clean products are “how natural and clean they are—every ingredient has a specific purpose. Everything is synergistic.”
Grosenick’s “Road 2 Ripped” journey began in February as he returned to the gym to get competition ready and “completely stayed true to the products.” His daily supplementation regimen begins with something he laughingly calls “the bomb,” a Vínnle supplement for focus, a Probíta hydrolyzed collagen chew, and an Energy drink mix with water.

Amway India In Trouble Again For Questionable Laws

 
Two social workers moved the Nagpur bench of Bombay High Court against Amway Company accusing it of selling many products without approval from Food Safety and Standard Authority. Sachin Khobragade and Jammu Anand claimed in their PIL (No. 69/2014) that the company got approval to sell only four products, but it was selling 36 products, flouting the norms.
A division bench comprising justices Bhushan Gavai and Vinay Deshpande then issued notices to Food Safety and Standard Authority through its chief executive officer, union health secretary, food safety commissioner and Amway India Enterprises Limited, asking them to reply within three weeks.
The petitioners stated that nutrilite products sold by the company didn’t comply with strict quality and quantity norms and labels used on its boxes were misleading. They had apprised of the Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) commissioner many a times but no action was taken. They demanded investigations into all its products from the Food Safety and Standard Authority.
