First off, I want to let you know that this Monavie review is going to be one of the most unique reviews you’re going to find about the MonaVie company online.

And I’ll tell you why…

Few people on the planet can really speak from the vantage point that I can about the good, the bad, the ugly, and whether or not the Monavie opportunity is a scam. (You’ll learn more about that in one second)

You know, there are TONS of people on the Internet who really have no clue what they are talking about when it comes to reviewing most network marketing opportunities.  Some people have very limited knowledge of the product, some people have very limited knowledge of the opportunity, and some people just have very limited knowledge period.

I think that when you’re doing your due diligence about the real INTEGRITY, EFFICACY, and LEGITAMCY of the Monavie acai berry product and MLM  opportunity… you have to be very careful about who’s perspectives you really value.

The only reason I’m giving this warning before I dive right in and begin exploring the truth about whether Monavie is a scam, detailing all I know about the product, and teaching you some ‘Insider Secrets’ many of the black diamonds and top income earners in this company don’t dare reveal…

…Is because I’ve seen MANY people make terrible decisions in this industry based on mis-information, and mis-perception of other people.  Decisions, that cost them a LOT of money, or waste their time.

So here’s what we’re going to cover in detail today in this Monavie Review

The first thing I’m going to share with you is my personal experience with the Monavie Product & Juice.  I have been using the juice for some time now, and I also have some people VERY close to me who have been on the inside of the Monavie opportunity for some time now as well.

1. I’ll be able to share with you ALL I know about it, and tell you the TRUTH about what I’ve found from using their product.
2. The second thing we’ll discuss is the TRUTH about the Monavie MLM business opportunity.  You see, this company has been getting lots of buzz in the industry for years, yet SELDOM have the true facts of how to be successful in Monavie been exposed and even ‘DEEPER’ knowledge and wisdom shed about what it takes to become a top income earner in this company.
3. Lastly, I will give you some SHARP pros and cons of joining the company, where I see the pitfalls potentially being, and give you the NEED TO KNOW information about joining if you’re considering signing up.

But first, you might be asking:

“Who is this person Jonathan Budd that I’m reading right now, and why should I value his perspective and opinion on Monavie at all?”

And that’s a GREAT question that you deserve a GREAT answer too.

And here’s what I’m going to say very shortly because this article is not about me, it’s about YOU finding the answers you need when researching Monavie online.

However, the reason why I’m going to ask you to take what I’m sharing about Monavie VERY seriously, is because I have experienced things in this industry that most people NEVER will and have been able to view this entire Monavie company from a different vantage point.

The Vantage Point of Being Behind The Scenes In Monavie…

My story basically goes like this.  4 years ago I was introduced into network marketing.  I failed MISERABLY in the first company I joined… even though I BELIEVED in the company so much.

I believed in network marketing so much.  I KNEW it held something for me, and was a true “American Dream” type opportunity to really make it big in this country starting from absolutely nothing.

I felt it DEEPLY within my cells.  So… I signed up in my first company and WENT to town… only to struggle, suffer, and experience much hardship.

However, this is when most people in network marketing QUIT, and more specifically, this is when most people in MONAVIE quit.  They run the other way wanting to blame the business model, blame the product, or blame the Monavie leaders or company…

And as much as I wanted to do that… there was something inside me that was just SMARTER than that, and I realized that people who blame others for whatever they are experiencing, and whatever results they have in life… are very POOR people.

They are poor both spiritually, mentally, physically, and often times financially as well.

I refused to accept that.  So what I did was I started SEEKING SOLUTIONS to the problems I was facing in my life.

That might be why you are here right now.  You might be experiencing health problems, or financial problems, or you just WANT something more for yourself… who knows.  But I can guarantee you’re reading this right now because you have some problem that the Monavie product or opportunity could help you solve.

In any case, I later realized this is a MAJOR characteristic and trait of successful people.  Remember this…

“Successful People Solve Problems”

It’s that simple.  Successful people solve problems in life.  No matter what the problems are… successful people do not stop until they solve them.

So at the age of 22, I turned my attention toward the Internet looking for the answers as to why I was broke, struggling, failing in network marketing.

A LOT transpired in the last few years.  Lets suffice it to say that SINCE THAT DAY of being a 22 year old kid with no knowledge of success, no clue what I was going to do with my life…

All I had going for me was that I was full of PASSION & HEART… I have since turned into someone completely DIFFERENT than who I was just a few short years ago.  (I’ll explain more about how you NEED to do this if you want to be successful in life in one minute)

Now, at the age of 25 I am a multi-million dollar earner annually in the network marketing industry.  I am one of the top income earners in the network marketing company I am a part of.  And I actually run one of the largest online network marketing training companies in the industry… ( You can google my name: Jonathan Budd and just see what you find)

And I’ve basically done all this in the last 3 years.

So honestly folks, the American Dream, whatever the heck that means to you, is NOT dead.

To me, it just stands for PASSION, INSPIRATION, and endless possibilities.  And my life has been a direct example of how all of this is still possible for any of us.  How many 25 year olds do you know who are multi-millionares?  That’s what I thought… and here’s how it relates to Monavie so much.

I have been able to observe the MONAVIE opportunity from the INSIDE, having direct connections with lots of top leaders and connections in the company, and I can tell you there are a few things you NEED to know about Mona Vie if you’re even thinking about joining this company or buying their acai juice product.

Lets start with the MonaVie products:

Monavie now has 2 products.  Their signature product is the Monavie acai juice which has been selling successfully for years.

The second is their new Energy drink called Monavie EMV.  I have been using both these products for a while now and here has been my experience.

Now, I don’t have huge health problems to begin with, so there’s nothing that really sticks out to me when I have drank the Monavie juice other then I LIKED it.

It’s actually one of my favorite network marketing products in the industry, I think it tastes good, and it’s enjoyable to drink.  I can NOT be the one to make a decision for you however if you think the price of the juice is justifiable for the health benefits it gives YOU.

I can only speak for myself, and I think one of the main problems in this industry is many people trying to tell others NOT to experience things for themselves.

I know people who LOVE the Monavie juice, I know people who think it’s completely useless.  I know people who swear on their lives that it’s cured strange illnesses, and I know people who never felt a darn thing and thought it was a waste of money.

The bottom line is… YOU can be the only one to really determine that based on your own experiences.  I recommend everyone experience things for themselves to really find out if it has TRUE value for them or it doesn’t.  Who else can really determine that for us in all honesty?

Here is what I WILL say however… one of the major problems I’ve found with the Mona Vie opportunity is the PRICE of the juice, and I will touch upon this later in the article as it’s one of the big things I think Monavie distributors need to watch out for in the future of building their businesses.

However, when it comes to creating good products… Monavie really does have some great products.  They are more expensive then a lot of versions of Acai drinks or other things you can get on the market… but you have to weigh the good and the bad and be the one to determine what it is you really want.

Let’s talk about the Monavie income opportunity because I know many people reading this article are quite interested in hearing what I have to say about this.

First off, I’m going to say I have A LOT of respect for the MonaVie company.  They have really done amazing things in the industry… and have been the fastest growing company to reach ALMOST $1billion dollars in sales in our industry’s history.

That is no small feat, and you HAVE to give credit where credit is due.  Clearly there are A LOT of talented leaders in Monavie, and a fantastic management team to be able to grow an MLM company like Monavie that QUICKLY and without experiencing huge problems.

With that being said… I’m going to share MANY things about the Monavie opportunity right now that you probably ARE NOT hearing from leaders in the company, or on Monavie calls.

First off… Becoming a millionaire in Monavie or just being extremely successful in this opportunity is NOT as easy as some make it out to be.  And this a HUGE, ridiculous,  mis-conception that most people have, of thinking Monavie or other MLM  companies are like some ‘Lottery Ticket’. This is one of the biggest reasons for failure in our industry.

People join thinking they’re just going to ‘Hit it Big’ somehow, and win the lottery… then they realize they actually have to BUILD A BUSINESS, and learn an entirely new set of skills. Once they realize that it takes some persistence, they run for the hills.

Those are what I like to call the ‘Never Had A Chance’ People.  And unfortunately, that is most people.

Most people are just plain not cut out to be entrepreneurs and be successful.  They are too conditioned by the day to day living stuff, to content with their secure jobs, and never having to COMPLETELY challenge themselves and throw their butts out on a ledge to ‘Dive’ into the world of being an entrepreneur.

MONAVIE IS NOT A LOTTERY TICKET

It is no where close to being a lottery ticket.  In fact, the only thing it has in common with being a lottery ticket is that the people who try to just passively “play” will not succeed.

Network marketing is not about PLAYING… it’s about GROWING.

The Monavie opportunity is not about you going out and signing up 3 people, who sign up 3 people, who blah blah blah.

That is a bunch of crap the top leaders in Monavie feed their downline or organizations… because it’s what MAKES THEM the most money.

RULE #1: Monavie and the top leaders are going to teach you how to build THEIR down-lines and THEIR company… they’re not going to teach you how to BRAND YOURSELF and build your own assets.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret in the Monavie opportunity & company…

The vast majority of what people are told to do to succeed in this industry is a CROP OF CRAP.  It is mostly useless rubbish, that serves only one purpose.  To have an average person go out there and recruit 2.1 people, sign up some customers, and basically leave it at that.

These companies like Monavie basically look at most distributors like they’re IDIOTS, and want to provide the most basic, childish, lame “Outlines” for how people can be successful you could imagine.

They’ll tell you that all you have to do to get started is contact uncle bob, and aunt Mary, and sign up 3 people, and then they get 3, and on and on.  But in reality… how many real businesses do you know that were built from calling friends and family members or harassing people in grocery store lines with a 3 foot rule?

It’s BS.  And even the people who DO achieve real success with those tactics, generally have a HUGE skill set before hand.  Or, they have a HUGE network.

You see, what the top leaders in Monavie don’t tell is that they probably had HUGE networks before they joined, or had developed the skill sets of networking, closing, and being an ATTRACTIVE leader at some point in life.

My point is not that Monavie is bad, or any MLM company is bad… because I will tell you right now they AREN’T.  My point is just that… YOU NEED TO BE SMART and realistic about what it takes to create amazing success in our world.

Of course Monavie and many other companies will give you ‘Watered Down’ versions of reality and success… because the truth is the vast majority of people couldn’t handle the Truth! They wouldn’t sign up…

Would you sign up if someone told you this?…

“Ok John, All you have to do is spend the next 3 years of your life building a network, developing your communication skills, working your butt off on a daily basis, failing miserably so that you can learn crucial life and business lessons, being challenged in every way you thought possible, and climbing your way up the success ladder one step at a time.”

That’s it man! That’s all you have to do… and then you might be successful.

The truth is… that’s how it works!! And that’s why the people who ARE very successful, understand the ‘Rite Of Passage CODE’ that comes along with that success.

Anyone who has made MILLIONS of dollars from scratch in this industry… understands and RESPECTS what it took to get there.  Because while most people in Monavie will quit long before they ever experience real positive financial results… the people who are making MILLIONS per year in the Monavie opportunity clearly NEVER STOPPED.

They never gave up.  However, there is more to the story that the top Monavie leaders and company is not going to tell you, and this is where I personally think Monavie needs to SHAPE UP and get with the times when it comes to empowering their distributors to reach greater heights of success.

The ‘Friends & Family’ and ‘3 Foot Rule’ stuff is seriously a JOKE.

I know MANY of the top income earners in Monavie, and almost NONE of them I know got that way through those tactics.  Many of them have been utilizing online marketing strategies under the radar, or have been in the network marketing industry for over 15-20 years. (thus they have HUGE networks which is what equates to money in this industry)

Well, the problem is for most people starting out they HAVE no network.  I certainly know that as a 21 year old kid getting started I had NO network.  I knew NO ONE, so how was I supposed to be successful?

And this is where most Monavie distributors are dropping the ball, and completely losing out on the MONEY that is contained in the Monavie compensation plan.

In this MODERN DAY AND AGE… you NEED to have an Internet game plan to succeed in business.

The Internet is the most LOW COST way to advertise that has ever existed in human history.  It is a MECCA of business.  A total convergence of all cultures, all races, all ages, EVERYONE basically in one place.

And the most beautiful part is… when you UNDERSTAND how to put whatever it is you have to offer in front of them, there is literally an ENDLESS amount of money you can make on the Internet.

How do you think you got to this page right here?  Do you think it’s an accident you’re reading this post right now?  No way, Jose!  I have STUDIED AND PERFECTED my skills at marketing… and that’s why I’m a 25 year old multi-millionare.

I realized very quickly that most Monavie up-lines and leaders in this industry are just plain STUPID.  I don’t mean they as people are stupid, but I mean their ideas about success in this industry are stupid.

I realized that most of the traditional Monavie training tactics and other network marketing training was useless garbage, and wasn’t getting me anywhere.  So I CHOSE to develop my skill sets as MARKETER.

I chose to LEARN how to generate my own leads, to take my business and success in this industry into my OWN hands.  And then I went out there and took the most FURIOUS action you’ve ever seen to make my dreams in life come to reality.

If You Want To Experience Your DREAMS, And Live A Life Of Total FREEDOM, Then You Have To Do This Now…

You have got to start developing skill sets in our world that will equate to MONEY in the bank.  You have got to start putting yourself at the cutting edge, and developing skills that equal REAL VALUE to other people… and preferably… that give you advantages in life.

You see, most people have no clue how to generate their own leads on the Internet.  Most people have no clue how to really BUILD a solid, stable, healthy business like a science.  Most Monavie distributors are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, not getting ANY real guidance on how to ESCAPE that madness and take true control over their businesses.

This to me is unacceptable.  If you want to get somewhere in life, it’s up to you to make it happen.  Monavie distributors need to educate THEMSELVES on the real principles behind success, lead generation, personal branding & leadership, and many of the other sharp tactics you can use to build STAGGERINGLY huge organizations in this industry.

I have used the Internet exclusively to become a top income earner in 2 separate companies in under 12 months from each other.  I would laugh in the face of someone who told me to contact my friends and family… when I could just LASER TARGET specific people on the Internet who are already interested in joining my opportunity or in owning their own home based business.

This is a paradigm shift for most Monavie reps.  Unfortunately, most have no clue how to change the situation they are in… and that’s why it’s so important to seek real MENTORS who aren’t afraid to tell the truth.

One of the things that I find a little annoying about network marketing companies like Monavie is all the “politics.”  Top Mona Vie leaders can’t come out and totally say what they want because of the policies put in place at the top of the company.

In any case, all of this is irrelevant.  The truth is, YOU determine what happens to you in life.  And you determine how successful or unsuccessful you will be in the Monavie opportunity.

When you take the attitude of DEVELOPING your own skill sets, of learning how to be at the cutting edge of this industry, and really UNDERSTANDING how to succeed in business from a REAL level and not on the level of ‘Jargon’… then that’s when your life can change.

Finding a TRUE mentor in this industry (and in life) is an EXTREMELY powerful thing, and can truly knock years off your learning curve if you find the right person.

However, before I end this Monavie review today I want to share some final insights into the company and on success in this industry…

I think the Monavie opportunity is one of the strongest companies in our industry.  I think they have done great things, and are truly a legendary company in network marketing without a doubt.

However, I think as a new person, or an existing distributor in Monavie who isn’t experiencing the success they want… you might want to SHIFT your focus off what the company is telling you and begin to look elsewhere to create major changes and results in your life.

Here’s why… a good friend of mine and TOP income earner in Monavie recently left and for a pretty good reason.  Monavie is at almost $1billion dollars in annual sales right now… which means they are a very strong, stable, healthy company.

It also means that the MAJORITY of all the volume and money flowing through of that  company is already established.

Often times as companies move into this phase you will see them switch and start focusing a lot of retaining PRODUCT consumers, and digging deeper into the customer base to crank out more product USERS.  That’s fine… but generally when this starts happening it gets harder and harder to hit it REALLY BIG in companies like this.

The most LUCRATIVE times to be in companies are from when they go from $0-$100 Million annually… and there will be LOTS of millionaires created in that process.

Or, for what is called “Wave 2”.  Wave 2 is when a company goes from $100 million annually to $1 BILLION annually… and in this process 10x the amount of millionaires will be created.

That ALREADY happened with Monavie.  Meaning, if there’s going to be another round of “Wave 3” millionaires.. Its’ going to happen as the company goes from $1 Billion to $2bil, $3bil, or higher.

In the history of our ENTIRE industry… that has only happened with about 5 or 6 companies in the last 60 years, out of tens of thousands.

I’m not saying it CAN’T happen… cause clearly it can and Monavie is very talented.  However I am saying that if it doesn’t… it will be very difficult to catch the ‘Wave’ of this company and be one of the multi millionaires currently in it. (the wave 1 & 2 have actually passed)

Take-aways

Again, this is just Mr. Jonathan Budd being very RAW with you here and giving you the facts about success in this industry.  I’m not saying you can’t still make money in Monavie, because you can…

What I’m saying is its harder, and there is not as much to make.

I truthfully think if Monavie lowered the price of their product, or came out with something entirely new (probably the case) that it would take that to really hit a ‘wave 3’ growth trend like they need.

Personally, I think that the company will suffer some decline over the next few years as wallets tighten and people are less apt to spend $150-250 a month on a juice product.

My recommendations for the Monavie management team and top level leadership in the company is this…

1. Don’t ignore the Internet, what’s hot, and what people WANT.  Social media is hot right now, and people need a basic level of marketing training.  And I’m telling you if you DON’T give it to them your distributors WILL go elsewhere to get it, and they will join leaders and sponsors who can SHOW THEM the mechanics of generating leads and being successful in this industry better then Monavie does.
2. Diversify the product line and launch a spin off company with a NEW, competitive product that can get HUGE buzz.  And is a unique spin for Monavie to recapture lots of Monavie distributors that have already left and attract new top tier talent.

Personally, I think if Monavie opened their minds a bit more and adopted a more cutting edge policy towards empowering their distributors with marketing techniques and tactics… as well as put together some GREAT programs in this area… it could be a HUGE boost to the company and invite a resurgence of distributors and talent that might have already left or taken the opportunity off the table.

In any case… I need to end this Monavie review.  It wasn’t my intention to write a novel here but hopefully you got some great value out of this, and had a few ‘Paradigm Shifts’ about what it takes to be successful in this industry.

The most AWESOME people I know, as well as the most successful, are not focused on their ‘Company’, or their company’s product like the Monavie juice.

The most successful people I know are focused on GROWING.  They are focused on DEVELOPMENT.  They are focused on expanding their networking, learning NEW SKILLS, and on their own internal mindset and abundance.

Don’t get caught up in the ‘Rah Rah’ mentality of many network marketing companies just like Monavie.  That stuff is all fine and dandy… but it’s meant for entertainment and belief.  It’s not meant to show you HOW to be successful.

In order to be successful, you have to be extremely practical.  You have to approach success like a science, and want to understand the deeper mechanics behind this industry and the millionaires in it.

Enjoy your day my friends, and remember to NEVER stop growing.
