Organo Gold is about to add another landmark building to the city of Richmond, British Columbia. The new $10 Million Organo Gold International Headquarters building will be just one of many memorable sites on the landscape of Richmond.
The new building will be treated to a very special Feng Shui blessing ceremony. For those of you not familiar with the Chinese art of Feng Shui, here are a few facts about how it works, and the history of this ancient practice:
Feng Shui blessing ceremonies have been used throughout history to clear the energy (known as “chi”) of any particular space or home, thus making the space more harmonious for those who live or work in the space.The term Feng Shui literally translates as “wind water” in English.Feng Shui has been practiced for over 3000 years in China, and in contemporary times has spread to the Western world.
The practice is based on the scientific principle of energy — the ancient Chinese understood that energy is a constant force in the universe, and surrounds us in everything that we interact with. Feng Shui was developed as a means to harness that energy in the best possible way to ensure only a positive outcome.

Ja Sung Koo Of Seacret Earns $1M Bonus Check

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Ja Sun Koo of Korea is Seacret’s first Crown Royal Agent, earning him a 1 million dollar bonus check. He rank advanced to Crown Agent just a month prior, earning a $250k bonus check. 
After a lifetime of success in network marketing, Mr. Koo considered himself done with the industry. Although he achieved his financial goals, his previous company didn’t offer the opportunity to help others reach that same level of achievement, something that was deeply important to Mr. Koo.
He joined SEACRET in January 2013 as a part time Agent and dedicated himself to not only his business, but to bringing the incredible opportunity to those around him. Among his vast achievements, he has developed 10 Diamond Agents, 2 Blue Diamonds, and 2 Red Diamond Agents on his team as of week 169. And he’s not done.
His next goal is to develop 50 Diamond Agents on his team, bring a total of 150 Agents from his team to the Revolution Convention in November, and achieve the rank of Crown Royale.

Zeek Rewards Payments To Being Late September

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Two years after their entrapment in a mammoth Ponzi scheme became public, victims of the Zeek Rewards swindle finally may receive some restitution this autumn.
The attorney overseeing what may become one of the largest pyramid schemes in U.S. history — which was run from a small office next to a coin-operated laundromat in Lexington — said the first, initial payments to victims could be made in late September. Receiver Kenneth Bell said last week that the first reimbursements could be for 40 percent of what victims lost in Zeek Rewards, which billed itself as an online multilevel marketing business but turned out to be a classic Ponzi scheme in which early customers were paid with proceeds from later ones.
“Let me emphasize that this is only a first distribution. I am entirely confident that we will make another distribution once we have recovered all assets possible,” Bell said.
Earlier this year, Bell sued former Zeek Rewards insiders, including ringleader Paul Burks of Lexington, and more than 9,000 individuals across the country who took more money out of Zeek Rewards than they contributed.
“This money rightfully belongs to affiliates with allowed claims. Also, I believe we will recover several millions of dollars more from

Talk Fusion Blue Diamond Yasuko Takakura Of Japan Overcomes With The Power Of Positivity

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
When it comes to life’s unexpected challenges, Blue Diamond Yasuko Takakura of Japan is a shining example of triumph in the face of adversity.
When her husband passed away unexpectedly a few years ago, Yasuko was forced to take over his company, and the massive debt that came along with it. To live within her new means, she sold off nearly everything and moved into a one-bedroom apartment alongside her daughter.
She struggled for months until one day, when her friend Hitomi Shinzato approached her with a business opportunity from a company called Talk Fusion. Hitomi was experiencing newfound personal success as she shared the company’s innovative video communication products and business opportunity around Japan. 
“I didn’t even have enough money to start,” Yasuko said. “I borrowed from Hitomi. She  believed in me and made it a point to teach me everything about the business. I owe so much of my success to her.”
With Hitomi’s help, Yasuko began sharing Talk Fusion with her family, friends and colleagues. Even as a relationship marketing newcomer, Yasuko began paving a real path to financial freedom while helping other women in situations much like her own to do the same. As her team grew, so did her

Experts Calls on SEC To Crack Down On MLM’s

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
The Securities and Exchange Commission should ratchet up its scrutiny of Herbalife and other multilevel marketing companies to ensure that their distributors aren’t violating anti-pyramid scheme laws, according to one top industry expert.
Bill Keep, the business dean of the College of New Jersey and a trial expert on pyramid schemes, urged SEC chief Mary Jo White to conduct ongoing reviews of the growing MLM industry and recommended that companies submit their enforcement policies to regulators every five years.
“I urge you to take serious the ongoing threat of unregulated behaviors by hundreds of thousands of MLM distributors affecting the lives of millions of Americans annually,” he wrote in the June 16 letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Post.
Keep fired off the letter in the wake of the recent appellate court decision upholding the Federal Trade Commission’s closure of pyramid scheme BurnLounge, saying it “reinforced the key issues of rewards primarily reliance on recruitment and the need for effective, enforced company policies.”
In his letter to White, Keep called out Herbalife, which is being probed by the SEC and other regulators over pyramid scheme allegations, for its “attempts to distance the company from distributor behaviors.”

Krystal and Brett Williams – mynt Hit Ruby Executive

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Krystal and Brett Williams from Corona, California, USA hit the rank of Ruby Executive in mynt.
This inseparable couple gives us a glimpse into what makes them tick.
You can just feel their passion and drive; it’s the kind of vibe that just lets you know they will continue in their success.
They know what they want and have a plan; they just needed the right vehicle to get there, and they found it with mynt.
mynt rewards based on effort
Krystal and I…we both work full-time jobs. We take our daughter to daycare every morning at 7 a.m., prior to pre-school starting. After pre-school, she goes to afterschool care until we can make our way back from work, which is usually around 6 p.m.
This is our current routine, but it is temporary. Our ultimate goal is to take back control of our lives so that we can determine how much money we make, when we take vacations, and how much family time we can spend together.
Once our mynt income exceeds the income from both our full-time jobs, we’ll leave those jobs and focus solely on the mynt lifestyle. And, for us, that means time freedom, financial freedom, and lots of quality time

Zeek Rewards Receiver Sues MLM Attorney Kevin Grimes And Howard Kaplan For $100 Million

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Kenneth Bell, the Zeek Rewards Receivership, filed a request for permission to file separate actions against two of Zeek Rewards attorneys, Kevin Grimes and Howard Kaplan.
The Zeek Receivership:
From January 2011 until August 2012, RVG operated a massive Ponzi and pyramid scheme through ZeekRewards, an internet based so-called “MLM” (multi-level marketing) program.
Kevin D. Grimes served as legal counsel to RVG from around January 2012 until August 2012, when RVG was placed into receivership.
By virtue of his knowledge of RVG and ZeekRewards and his legal expertise, Grimes knew or should have known that RVG was perpetrating an unlawful scheme which involved a pyramid scheme, an unregistered investment contract and/or a Ponzi scheme.
Despite this knowledge, Grimes actively encouraged investors to participate in the scheme by creating a so-called “compliance” program that provided a false façade of legality and legitimacy and knowingly allowed his name to be used to promote the scheme.
Grimes knew or should have known that insufficient income from the penny auction business was being made to pay the daily “profit share” promised by ZeekRewards.
Grimes knew or should have known that the money used to fund ZeekRewards’ distributions to Affiliates came almost entirely from new participants rather than income from the Zeekler penny
