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 LEGITIMACY 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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…
Unique Perspective on Mona Vie
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 MonaVie 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 MonaVie 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 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 MonaVie 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 in an unbiased perspective.
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 in MonaVie, 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
Mona Vie is NOT a Magic Lotto 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 a succesful MonaVie business.
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 MLM Age … you NEED to have consistent MonaVie Leads that convert into people signing up in your business. Without leads you wouldn’t have a MonaVie 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 internet marketing skills… 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 an internet marketer and you can too with MonaVie Marketing.
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 Monavie 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.
Monavie Juice in a Glass
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…
- 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 MonaVie leads and being successful in this industry better then Monavie does.
- 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.
If you’re looking for information to go to from here about how to market yourself, develop a HUGE influential network, and make more money in life (the real ways) then I highly suggest you check out my free 8 Day Bootcamp. It’s pretty much the raw info on how I’ve made millions at the age of 25 without doing ANY of the “traditional” stuff you’ll hear about in Monavie. ? CLICK HERE

I liked this article, and it really states the truth.
Jonathan, maybe you would be interested to know that I read you article because my wife is starting in the Mona Vie MLM as of one month ago. Everything you talked about like it being a hard job, and that it is not really about the product, and that it is about networking and groing your network has already been explained many time to me. And not by you, but by the Mona Vie training system. I don’t know if a lot of people are missing it when they get into Mona Vie, but in the couple meetings I went to out of curiosity, they said many times that this is no easy business.
It is sort of like what I told the Food Tech guy, that we are all just normal people and only hear what we want to hear or read what we want to read. I guess when people go through their training they miss heating all the stuff about it being a hard business. I am sure it will be harder now to get to the top, but still possible. Like you said, it is about changing yourself, and getting out there and doing something yourself.
Just a general observation I have made: If you talk to 100% of everyone you know, you will find 5% that will help you be successful. Mona Vie is looking for all the 5%, they know that almost everyone else will remain a 95%er.
Later, LG
Para JONATHAN BUDD…
Hola querido Jonatahan, mi nombre es Quino Trejo, yo tengo ahora mismo 27 años, comence con la misma edad que tu, he desarrollado equipos y vivido en varios paises, dejando mi familia, amigos y estudios, ahora mi negocio se ha caido y estoy buscando nuevas oportunidades en mlm, tengo mis equipos detras que confian en mi, me gustaria ponerme en contacto contigo.
Un saludo,
kino_tp@hotmail.com
Well, Food Tech in CA, I guess no one stepped up to the plate! I am 100% convinced that you have nailed it. I also appreciated Franco’s comments, especially his point about integrity. It’s good to see that people still have some. Let’s not forget to remind people to serve themselves a helping of common sense, which isn’t so common anymore. I’m with you guys … eat an apple. It’s not freeze-dried & still has the peel. Thanks, guys!
I like the juice but I can buy it on e-bay for about $25/ bottle. Tough to try and market it when people can find it for almost 50% less.
Were is that apple? Jus kidding, I’m very intrested in learning more about the real facts of this product and other health products like it. We’ll leave the MLM out of it.You could contact me directly, I won’t take much of your time.
Bill contact me and I can help you with info about the Monavie products.
Quiton who is selling the bottles for $25 dollars on e-bay? Are you certain that it is the real product? Hummmmmmmmmm… I just checked e-bay and they are not selling it for $25.00. Maybe, a little less than $120.00. but not less than $70.00.

Gordon,
Unsweetened, dry cocoa powder has an ORAC value of 809 umoles/gm. Compare this to MonaVie’s ORAC of 22.81 umoles/ml. This means that one gram (about the weight of a penney) has an ORAC score 35 times higher than a ml. of MonaVie!
The same is true of polyphenols. Cocoa powder has 52 mg. of polyphenols per gram. MonaVie has 1.48 mg. per ml. Again, cocoa powder, has 35 times as many polyphenols as does MonaVie.
I just made $1800 last week as a distributor. A lot of people complain this is a scam because they have not put in the effort to train properly and end up failing.
As for the price of the juice, check out the fruits in it: acai berry, white grape, aronia, acerola, purple grape, passion fruit, camu camu, banana, lychee fruit, apple, kiwi, pomegranate, prune, wolfberry, pear, bilberry, cranberry, blueberry, cupuacu. How many do you recognize? The fruits in there are rare, thus expensive.
I shop at a local organic store which has nearly all these, and they aren’t expensive. Come on, Kiwi, passion fruit, banana, cranberry, blueberry, white grapes, purple grapes, and prunes can be found at most grocery stores.
Hello Food Tech,
Im curious to read your thoughts on MonaVies newest Health Beverage Mmun. Google Dr Paul Clayton or go to youtube and see what he says in regards to the latest beverage. I will be looking for your reply
Hey Jonathan,
Nicely done on this Monavie article.
I personally don’t care for the taste of the juice, but do have to say the sales they have done is impressive. However, they have bought off some distributors from other companies to get them to bring their downlines over which I don’t care for… this really makes our industry look bad.
Keep up the great work my friend.
Cheers,
Brian
I’m at work when a friend camw to my work to get his wife and he had a box that look like a box of fine wine so i asked him for one he gave me one and told me that a friend gave it to him so i gave him 5dollars for it he told me that it was a good juice and that he been on it for a month and that it gave him more energy.
What if you DON’T like apples?? I don’t like most fruits, including apples, therefore I wasn’t getting nearly enough of my fruit intake. Mona Vie has been a godsend to me. It combines most fruits I would never eat, because I didn’t like the taste of it (like bananas for another example). Mona Vie has managed to blend these fruits so that it taste good on the palate and goes down easy….because I hate taking pills too! So yes, I will continue to take Mona Vie, because it is healthy, it helps me get my daily fruit servings, and it tastes good! I easily justify the cost because this is my health I am talking about! I have family and now I know I have my health too!
If you like apples, bananas, blueberries, etc…that’s awesome! Continue buying it and feeding your body the nutrients it desperately needs. But I find it rude that one feels it is okay to put down those people that are finding another, healthy way to get their servings of fruits. Again…we all don’t like APPLES!!!
I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.

Hi,
I read the article and enjoyed it, but I won’t buy neither join Mona Vie.
I am not a marketer and I know I’m not cut to be one, so why spend many $$$ on an ordinary juice?
I can consume all the antioxidants & vitamins I need just by eating apples grapes etc’…
I think companies like Mona Vie can probably sell ice to escimos at the north pole…:-)
Oh and I forgot to mention the best part – they are currently at 20 million in revenues and set to grow heavily and open in more countries very soon….
Jonathan, I am wondering if since Monavie is opening up in other countries and from what I’ve heard, there are many states in the U.S. that have had little Monavie exposure that what are the chances of the 3rd wave? I see that maybe the 3rd wave might come and I am well on my way with your program the 7figurenetworker. In your honest opinion, with your system including the ppc and everything you teach and with my work ethic, do you believe my best chance of becomming successful in a MLM is here in Monavie and maybe become a black diamond? I believe so but I would like to get your opinion.
Thank you.
My friend; whom I worked with for a year, quit his job with our company after building up his Monavie business. He is making more than I am hauling out tools everyday and working in the trades. He has only been in Monavie one year- the first six months he said he did nothing. It’s worth a try…
Monavie CEOs and the whole team are a bunch of thieves, trying to drain another country out of their Natural resources.. No different than, the British thieves who took over South Africa to steal all the diamonds out of that land and in the process imposing apartheid in a land that they had no right to be in on the first place, with their double talk and manipulation and no different than the same British thieves who went to inida and steal all the Gold, no different than the same British thieves who sailed to Virgina to steel Tobacco and later made another billions on anti smoking campaigns and no different than the same British thieves who have killed millions in the Middle East to Steal Oil and hence causing 9/11 in this country. Monavie thieves claim to bring change in the land of their theft and claim to bring prosperity to those people.. How many Brazilians live in mantions? How many of those innocent poeple eat caviar and steaks everyday? And how many of them fly their own jets. Keep stealing you Monavie thugs, but at least have the decency not be a hypocrites. I don’t care if you can live forever after drinking the berry juice or if it cures every disease in the world, I refuse to take part of your scheme.
Monavie has done nothing but bring good to the country. Did you know that 95% of the rainforest in which the acai palms are located was completely gone. Now 75% of the countries main export is the acai berry which has stopped the destruction of the rainforest. Interviews with Brazilian locals think the Monavie compmany is a Godsend to the area.
Jonathan, always the best info in the biz my friend! Hope San Diego is seeing better weather than here in Texas, I need to come out again when it is actually sunny out there!
You always speak from great experience and a unique vantage point, all at 26 lol! And I am so blessed to be able to call you my mentor. Your advice and mentorship has truly changed the way I look at marketing, and I am finding great success thanks to you and Katie and Mark! Thanks again for choosing me to fly out there JB.
I liked your advice to MonaVie which was to re-launch a new and exciting product in a brand new company, that way they could see some huge growth as the functional beverage market continues to expand. I think there is a company that has done that just recently, in Dallas November 2009. They have acai berry in it, a new ingredient called CoffeeBerry which is patented worldwide, and a full blend that offers health benefits in immunity, energy management, anti-inflammation, mental clarity, vitamins and minerals, and a ton of Antioxidants (10,179 per 3 oz). This product is about to have a full white paper study released on it showing its direct effects on the body ONCE ITS IN THE BLOOD which will be cool to see. What’s your opinion on this company Jonathan? I know I briefly mentioned it to you in December but now there is a new video I wanted you to check out.
It’s called SoZo Global. Here is a link to a page I just put up that shows the company’s new overview, this is what I am sending out to my list of people who have opted in to hear more about SoZo on my Team’s blog. It’s the second email they are getting:
http://gotosuccessonline.com/sozo/day2.html
and here is a YouTube video that talks more about the product itself — the new coffee fruit extract that has a ridiculous 625x the Antioxidants of blueberries, pretty crazy stuff…

Thanks again for your wonderful insights and advice,
keep rockin Jables!

Like Lucy, I have enjoyed reading this blog and the debates going back and forth. It has integrity and I appreciate that. The owner of the blog isn’t deleting the opinion of the critics and is allowing the reader to form his own opinion.
Personally, I am neither a friend or foe of MonaVie or MLM in general. I stumbled into this blog because I read about acai berry in a fitness newsletter a couple of years ago. The article mentioned that most health foods stores have it however I couldn’t find it in the non-English speaking country where I was living at the time. So, I waited. Now I’m (so thankful to be) back home in the USA and have the opportunity to eat healthy again.
I caught up with a longtime friend of mine to ask him what I could do to reverse liver damage (caused by medication to treat an illness obtained in the foreign country) and regain my metabolism. On any given day I am exhausted, sometimes depressive, and have digestive problems. I know that once I regain my energy I will be able to lose weight with motivation to work out again. My friend mentioned Monavie had given him energy and better mental health. So I Googled “Monavie” and found this blog.
I have used Market America’s OPC-3 and Cell Tech’s blue-green algae. Both gave me good results when I was younger, but I was living paycheck to paycheck at the time and couldn’t afford to stay on them. Worse yet, the algae required refrigeration and the OPC-3 would turn into a block if it became moisturized. I was working two jobs and always on the go. Convenience was a huge reason why I stopped taking both. About a year ago I started taking Osteo BiFlex to treat joint pain and a multivitamin for everything else…
…To all the skeptics on this blog, namely Food Tech in CA, can you recommend a convenient, alternative way to obtain the health benefits found in the ingredients that make up Monavie? I eat one banana, two eggs and a yogurt and I’m full, but then hungry again two hours later. I can snack on a multigrain bar in between meals when I get the munchies but the bottom line is, I’m not going to force feed myself fruit to give me the nutrients I need. It’s impractical, it’s time consuming, and time is money. Not to mention the fruit is perishable, most kinds require refrigeration or they go bad quickly, and simply put, it’s a lottery to get decent fruit that tastes good and isn’t contaminated with bug- and weed-killing chemicals. So magic elixir Monavie is not, it appears that it is simply a concentrated form of vitamins and minerals that can’t be practically obtained by eating the plant that provided the original source.
I believe all things happen for a reason. Good health is only the door to success. It takes much more to come from within to be successful. But in the meantime, I’m curious about the Monavie product. I’ll buy one of those cheaper bottles off of eBay and the most I lose is $20 – $60. No monthly recurring charges to deal with, no calls to make to cancel if it doesn’t work, no hassle. I’ll try it and report back here in a month or so how it helped me.

I am not sure what to think about Monavie .. I think there are better acai berry products out there for your money .. amazon thunder is a good one but maybe the business model is better for monavie?
“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.”

I’ve heard that exact thing from the top distributors of Mona Vie, but you may have posted this before you knew that Mona Vie became partner with the best leadership team in the country. Either that or you’re talking about people working solely through Mona Vie, maybe their top people don’t explain things that way, but Team (the leadership team I mentioned) goes through everything you said in this blog post.
So my word of advice (because this is a great article) is that if you are planning on working with Mona Vie, make sure you are with the right people (Team) who will help train you to achieve your goals. They will tell you the truth, that you can’t just go to 3 people, who go to 3 people, etc… They will tell you that in order to be successful, YOU HAVE TO DO IT. You have to work at it, but it can be done.
That’s my little rebuttal to the blog post, but hopefully it clarifies things.
We’re on the same page as Derek- We appreciate the integrity of this article-
We’ve seen first hand how people that have proven results in community building teach the truth with integrity and value.
We’ve seen first hand how the lives of families become more enriched due to reading & listening to information that guides them to why they can change for the better.
People who really care that are committed to make a difference can lead people to positive results.
Warren Buffet and Donald Trump bought networking companies, Top Economist Paul Zane Pilzer calls The Team “The business model for the future.” and best selling author Robert Kyosaki writes the book- Business in The 21st Century- Credibility?
How can one argue that Community Building partnered with Relational Marketing is anything but a way to inject hope back into the lives of the downtrodden folks who have lost jobs, homes and familes?
Due to the massive changes the world is undergoing- If there is a vehicle that people can grab hold of to change their lives for the better isn’t that better than nothing?
“Those with character expect to believed, and if they aren’t, they let time prove them right.”
Renee, he was simply educating people who may be looking into the product, such as I, and was it all not factual? He allowed me to make eating fruits a daily habit, and feel the importance of it because how you feel monavie benefits you so much while you can get even greater benefits by consuming fruits, and I feel blessed because I like to eat fruits, unlike you. Don’t blame him because you may lose sales because he’s doing the right thing. And sure not everyone likes apples… but people may convert to liking it, solely because of the greater benefits and comparison in prices. I’d say it just sucks to be you! It’s great that you have money to spend like that, and that it benefits you. But I would consider yourself as an extreme minority, if not already being “placebo effected.” So it’s not rude to educate people to save money, and make smart choices, especially during these times, so instead you are rude. But what do you expect from people trying to make a living selling the product, right?
I do not know why, lots of people trying disparity to prove that Monavie is a scam
First of all I did not tried it yet , and Monavie company never mentioned that Monavie is cure to any dieses , why don’t we just think of it as a juice , I know some people will say why to pay that much money for a juice , it is the same when it comes to cars some people like Mercedes and the are willing to pay lots of money to get one and some people buy Hyundai ,
I am sure that ANY MONAVIE Distributor can make lots of money because we can drink it in summer time winter time and it can be served in cocktails so when you become a distributor in your area I am sure you will be confused from where to start selling Monavie
So the Monavie scam theory was build on some distributor marketing methods whom want to be get rich fast ,

Great post, every online marketing newbie should read this. There is no way to get rich quick.
It is a work like any other, but is giving a lot of fun and time freedom after even less than 3 years.

Hello Jonathan,
I am a mom of 4 little ones. My soon to be husband and I just joined up with Monavie. I joined becauseI am disabled and tired of hearing how I can not work due to back problems and want to help my family become more financially stable. Is there any advice you can give me to help me to be able to help our financial situation? I want to give my family what I never had. I know and understand it will be hard and more then willing to give it everything I have and then some.
YES! The most important thing you can FIRST do is immerse yourself in FREE training. If people in this industry such as yourself are not making enough money, then AT FIRST you do not need to spend more to learn more. Eventually YES you will. ALL higher education to make BIG money costs money. DO not join or buy anything until you have learned a few skills. One skill to learn first would be online traffic generation. You can learn this throughout my blog here and plenty of places on the web. Once you have figured this skill out enough to start executing it, then by this time you will have found another skill that interests you next such as, lead conversions. Start here and do not stop until you are done. You will have a successful journey, just keep going. here’s to your success.

I did as you said and looked you up google. All I could find was horrible things about how you scam people for money and lie about these companies and say how great they can because they pay you to. I have a job interview for Vector this Saturday. I heard it to was a scam. I don’t believe everything I hear or read but I will now be more aware in my interview and my decision to work there. The job sounds great and it sounds like the answer to my prayers. But I must question how they got my address and such. Anyway I just wanted to let Mr. Budd know there is nothing good on the internet about you.

Play a crucial role in today’s economy; they are the key contributors towards a country’s GDP growth. India in the last decade has established itself as a powerful economy and it is growing at a healthy rate. One of the key constituents of India’s robust economy is its stock market. The stock market tips dates back to the eighteenth century. However, the real journey of the Indian Stock market began in the middle of the nineteenth century with the passing of the “Company’s Act” in 1850. The primary driving forces behind the development of the Indian Stock market were the native shares and the stock broker’s Association.
hi, i m glad to read the article that you post. The article was interesting and very relevant to today. In addition to the creative, interesting articles, too. I will be faithful to your blog visitors. Hopefully the future more and more creative articles as you post.
Brig Hart and Brad Olsen were both sponsoring people in Brazil and other countries before they were opened. If you ever called an asked if you could sponsor people in other countries and you were turned around and told you couldn’t do it because they were not opened, you were treated like an idiot. The people on top were doing it and MonaVie was helping them. Every single “whale” that came into MonaVie made demands and they were met in order to get them to join. Including paying them to bring their network over to MonaVie.
You can make money with multilevel marketing… be ready to be dishonest or be fooled by those who look honest. Mr. Hart may preach like a pastor, but he has done more dirty tricks to get ahead in his career with MonaVie than you can imagine. Don’t look up and dream of what they have, go get it, but get ready to get dirty.
Health comes first,if it is good then everything is good.Your post is rocking and knowledgeable… I really appreciate the way you write . I would like to read more from you.

Poor Max: left-wing propaganda Max. Too many are misinformed. The Mona Vie for me taste pleasant. I have noticed a difference in blood pressure it is now 130/80 not bad since I stopped my meds and have been drinking Pulse. Still not sure about the business though. One friend is doing OK, he thinks tasting meetings are the way to go.
