After watching the Liberty League
International promotional movie all I
can say is wow! Private Jets, Exotic
Vacations, Financial Freedom all brought to
you by way of convincing testimonials and
endearing promises of success. The cult like
following for direct sales of motivational
products will have you believe that Liberty
League International is the end all break
through in home business opportunities. If
you’re like me you’re probably wondering
what in the world these people are talking
about.
So what exactly do you need to do to be
one of these lucky individuals enjoying a
healthy breakfast shake and jogging on the
beach? According to Liberty League
International success is yours for the
taking if you join their program as a
Liberty League Associate.
Your role in this business will be to
sell and advertise the three products of
Liberty League International, (1) Beyond
Freedom, (2) Liberty 3 day conference, and
(3) The Summit 5 day conference. These
products are “life changing” motivational
products with an expensive price tag, 1 =
$1,495, 2 = $7,995, and 3 = $12,995.
The start up cost of this business
depends on how serious you will be about
attempting to make money. Technically your
only required purchase is a starter kit for
$49.95 which includes your first month cost
of your personal Liberty League
International website (which will be $39.95
per month).
The serious route will include $30 a
month for an 800#, up to $45 per month for a long
distance phone plan, $33 per month for
access to presentation calls, and an
undetermined amount for advertising and LLI
lead generation access. Oh and you need to
buy the $1,495 beyond freedom motivational
product for two reasons.
If you’re serious then you need Beyond
Freedom because 1, the structure of the
payment plan for Liberty League
International is such that you need 5 Beyond
Freedom Sales under you before you can start
making money. If you buy it your self then
you can count your own purchase as one and
use two sales from your referrer, then you
only need to get 2 of your own sales. If you
don’t buy Beyond Freedom you need to get all
five on your own and you will make nothing
on each sale.
Secondly, you need to get Beyond Freedom
because you probably need to know what
you’re talking about. If you’re trying to
convince people to drop fifteen hundred
dollars on a motivational product you better
be living proof that it works. This leads us
to the controversy behind Liberty League
International.
In May 2006, the Arizona Attorney General
issued Liberty League International a
$115,000.00 fine. In addition to civil
penalties, attorney’s fees, and restitution,
the defendants are also required to:
• Refrain from making unsubstantiated
income claims.
• Advise potential customers of the
correct percentage of participants who have
made a profit through their participation in
the Liberty League program.
• Refrain from making any false or
deceptive statements in their marketing
materials.
This has forced Liberty League
International to post their income
disclosure which reveals that 80% of
associates earn an average of $7,149. Now
take into account the costs of running this
business and these people are lucky to break
even.
This is why Liberty League International
associates get into trouble, since it’s hard
to motivate people into joining with
promises of barely breaking even as opposed
to showing them pictures of yachts and water
skis.
I have heard first hand accounts of
people reporting that they were encouraged
to project the status of wealth when talking
about this business. This included reporting
false and exaggerated incomes and even going
into debt themselves by trying to keep up
with the carefree lifestyle advocated by
LLI.
Another element of LLI that honestly
sends shivers down my spine is the cult like
mentality of these conferences and retreats
that get people caught up in motivational
fervor. What’s interesting is that when they
talk about profiting and making positive
changes in your life there is an
overwhelming group mentality with immense
reinforcement.
However when someone reports that they
gave this business their all and have a
reported income of $0 and are now 12k in
debt this mentality quickly changes. The
person is singled out for failing based on
their own lack of dedication or inability to
properly implement the concepts. Basically
they are left high and dry; this was part of
the reason behind the lawsuit.
So in the end is Liberty League
International an illegal and unethical
venture? The answer is no, but it is close.
Companies like this have come and gone but I
can tell you one thing for certain. The
successful people that I know in my life do
not spend hard earned money to attend “Super
Saturdays” or spend 13k to go to Fiji for
motivation.
If you’re interested in working from
home, I can recommend a program that has
three legitimate streams of income for under
$300. An e-Currency Exchange training
course, an Affiliate Marketing Training
course, and finally your own website where
you can sell real products like hand made custom furniture. If you

any business out there has a few bad reports that is just business. but the reallity is those people just gave up or flat out wanted something for nothing. get real people any business cost money and calls for advertising. no exceptions. the beyond freedom is real. It does show you how to put your thoughts in motion and how to lay out a blue print for success. A priceless product. But this is not for everybody. Just like constructions isn't. so chose wisely your cource for success

I will first admit, I was drawn by the opportunity to make really easy money without a lot of work....I worked the system for a while...but couldnt sleep at night. I walked away from my first few sales without taking a dollar from anybody...because I figured out that it is a ruse. It takes a terrible product that teaches you no earth shattering concepts...and couples it with a dishonest concept of MLM...They say it isnt MLM, but in the training they tech how to articulate this system to get arond the loop hole............Here is why I think that this business model is wrong for our society, 1. It provides no (honestly) positive benefit to our country 2. Money isnt achieved by hard work (its achieved by scalping the next guy in line) 3. The business materials, people & business model are knowingly evasive & deceptive in the marketing of the "Product" I didnt find the Beyond Freedom....What I found was beyond slavery.....to the tune of 15k.

Liberty League International has truly been a gift for me. As a working mom I wanted nothing more than being home with my kids. Liberty League has given me that opportunity! Owning your own buisness definately requires some work, but nothing worth having dosn't. LLI has put together a home based business with the sales of one of the hottest trends out their personal development. If you enjoy helping others change their life this is an awesome buisness.

I feel totally scammed. This guy had me so revved up to succeed and I totally fell for it all. 22k later I regret not checking this out sooner. If there is a lawsuit, i'll participate. Don't join AT ALL!

I just listened to a Liberty league group presentation. It was full of people talking about their success stories and how easy it all was. I picked it within 30 seconds as being a pyramid selling structure with a vague product to circumvent legislation against such things.
I was reminded of a guy I knew about 25 years ago who was an AMWAY network marketer who had a 7 year plan to become financially independent. he said he was at the one year point of his plan but it had taken longer than one year to achieve this position .......... in fact it had taken 7 years. A bit of Dilbert mathematics tells me he will spend the better part of 50 years worth of work to go diamond in that system.
I am as always skeptical about the growth potential for any marketing system that doesn't really sell a product but moreover sells the right to sell an intangible right to sell. Soon enough there will be a glut of people trying to sell to everyone else while the smart operators have jumped ship y... read more»
