"This is a short summary of what I spent on pre-paid legal over the
course of 12 months.
- $249 Associate fee (1 time)
- $204 Membership fee ($17 x 12 months)
- $108 Identity theft shield ($9 x 12 months)
- $240 E-services package ($20 x 12 months)
------ $759 (yearly minimum total for being "active" in the business)
This is not including the cost of local and regional trainings
(brainwashing sessions) that can range anywhere between $5 to $100,
which would run about another $300.
----- $300 for meetings (over 12 months)
Add in plane tickets ($600 total) and hotel fees ($600 total) to
Nevada and Oklahoma for national "conferences" (called "big events",
$200 total), rental cars ($10 split among a group), gas (can't even do
the math this was so much from driving around people without cars),
etc. and that was probably another $1500 right there.
----- $1500 for conferences and travel (over 12 months)
Add in marketing supplies like tapes, books (propaganda) like
"Profiles of Success" and the "Pre-paid Legal Story", dvds, flip
charts and business cards to pass to out and that's another $100
----- $100 (over 12 months)
If you were really "serious" like me, you also signed up for the dvd
auto-ship program that was "debuted", which was $50 a month.
----- $150 ($50 x 3 months)
Which leads me to an end of year cashflow statement of:
- $2809 (expenses)
+ $500 (income)
-------------------
-$2309
That is the approximate amount of money I lost after 12 months with
prepaid legal services, and Team Platinum.
Yet that is not all I lost. I lost much of my self-respect and
integrity while I was being trained to manipulate people into buying a
service that they more than likely didn't need. I sacrificed my
dignity as I tried to get people to think that they were hopeless, and
prepaid legal and Team Platinum was the vehicle for their dreams. I
also lost the respect of some friends because I called them for no
other reason than to get them to "see the light" and buy into this
scheme."
