Nu Skin shows its Dark and Evil Side

I joined a 5 day seminar on Personal Development organized by Nu Skin and at the onset it was awful.

The organizer had us memorize and recite this during the first day:

Note that Star Creator is a program of Nu Skin and there were also non-Nu Skin participants in the seminar.

Now that was downright indoctrination. To add to this sickening activity, most of the participants including myself at the time was looking for something in life. I was not working at the time that is why I considered Nu Skin. Some participants were tired in their corporate life. We were lost and Nu Skin was not helping us find our own goals, but they were spoon feeding us their goals;

The same Star Creator goals which would help the organizers and our principals achieve this:

To add to insult some participants decided to leave because this was not for them, but the organizers used us to stop them from leaving. The organizers told us that we will not continue the seminar without them so we tried stopping them for almost half a day.

We paid around $400 for the seminar and the seminar was required for us to qualify for a certain position in Nu Skin. The organizers used us to stop people from leaving.

The organizers proceeded to explain that it is part of the process and the ones who left were the ones who will miss out on the "break through." At this point, I also wanted to leave but was now afraid of the repercussions from the organizers.

At the end of the seminar, I felt so free after becoming a prisoner for 5 days. It was a premeditated indoctrination to people who are in most need of guidance. Truly sickening.

Why Nu Skin and MLM is Unethical

Nu Skin is unethical because at its core, it focuses its members to recruit rather than sell products. This process of recruitment does not fulfil any end-consumer needs, rather it primarily fulfils the needs of the agent and recruiter.

In simple sense, the primary philosophy of a recruiter is "who cares about the customer or their needs as long as I get the money." There are businesses that think like this, and they are called scams.

Pyramid schemes are obvious in doing this. Some do away with the product all together and simply rely on the recruitment to funnel the money up to the recruiters and up to the pyramid chart. Everyone benefits until the last sucker is recruited.

What makes Nu Skin more dangerous than your typical obvious pyramid scheme is that at its face value they have good development programs for its members and they have products with a semblance of quality.

However, if you go deeper to their motives, you notice that members are still in the business of getting your cash not from selling you products but:
a. through recruiting you (since achieving their quotas and incentives would seem impossible simply by actually selling products on their own)
b. to achieve their quota and incentive (example below)

An Honest Opinion on Nu Skin and MLM Organizations

"Would you like an opportunity where you can improve yourself,  become self-employed, and earn a lot of money?" (pointing at recently purchased luxury car)

If this sounds familiar, you are being recruited to an MLM or even worse, pyramid scheme.

"But we're different than other MLM companies. We're legitimate."

In reality, they are different, but they are similar in the worse way possible. All of their motives and incentives are geared towards recruiting you and getting their commission in one form or another.

You do see the promises above, but they leave the part that it will all be at the expense of others (most likely your family and friends). Now would you accept this setup?

If your answer is yes to above then this blog will be of no use to you. This blog cannot give a conscience or morality to a person.

To decent human beings, this blog attempts to:
a. Explain the logical and systematic reasons why MLM and Nu Skin is unethical and even evil.
b. Share my personal experiences with Nu Skin
c. Inform potential recruits of Nu Skin and other MLM organizations
d. While unlikely, disrupt the brainwashed minds of existing Nu Skin members and shed light on the true nature of Nu Skin

Why Nu Skin? Because it is the best in concealing its true unethical motives and intentions.

Pyramid schemes are obvious and a decent individual would already be turned off when the setup is explained to them. Nu Skin on the other hand, are adept in convincing decent people by hiding their unethical nature through distraction. They let their members and recruits focus on their "cutting-edge legitimate" products, "global reputable" brand and "wealth" seminars while they setup their systems for unethical and down right evil behaviour.
