Personally, I am thankful for the LTD system being available. I spent 4 years total of my time in higher education, and not once did I have someone ask me the questions that grew me as a person or build a proper lifestyle of healthy success habits.. I was in debt and had poor people skills. With the guidance of someone who has a vested interest in my success, and the tools available through LTD, I have personally seen a change for the positive in me, my husband, and both of our families*.They are not LTD members.I appreciate my upline Diamond for being honest, authentic, and telling me to think for myself. Reminding me that I am the ONLY one who has control over my choices. I am thankful for the low startup investment...because I was able to focus on developing my skillsets and grow my business to a point where my profit could be used for the cost of my subscription. The opportunity is there for those who want to use it.. but I personally haven't felt manipulated or forced to partake in training or learning materials.LTD has honored any refund with my team that needed to happen with grace and integrity. I wish anyone well who had a less than positive experience because of a PERSON who did not have grace with them.. But a person must take personal responsibility for the choices they make, and downing a company for making profit is silly. Especially when it is minimum compared to the knowledge anIBO can receive.Review from Rob G

Literally try to recruit everyone at our LifeTime fitness gym. I believe the couple got kicked out lol. As a real business owner for restaurants and bars locally, you shouldnt ever have to pay someone to talk to or buy whatever product they tell you to in order to earn financial freedom. Pretty sure they are a MLM tons of evidence online. Check redditReview from Becky D

Hello, I'm currently an IBO on a *** subscription to LTD. I have bounds of evidence that my upline platinum is very deceptive, manipulate, and in my experience, my diamond upline and adjacent upline are the same way. To clear confusion, I'm in business with my husband, who uses the *** subscription. My upline lied about me to my crossline and drastically undelivers communication when I would reach out. We are paying for a personal mentor who really doesn't have many leadership skills at all, and is using mind-games to control relationships. We've been in business for 2 years and we are currently what used to be known as fast track pro. The poor quality character of my upline is 50% of my reason for unplugging and not promoting the LTD system. Any time I am discussing potential partnership with a prospect, I leave LTD out of the picture. I promote going on **** for books, listening to free podcasts on ******* by ***********************, and personal assistance from myself to show them products and build a team. I help out my partners only with free or budget educational materials. I do not condone how LTD flashes lifestyle images of money earned outside of Amway, but don't specify that to those in a training or infosession. I also DEEPLY disagree with how the guest speakers at the 12/100 events are affliated with ***************************** and ******* ********. As a matter of fact, ***** and ********************* shared their testimony on a video on ******** where they explicitly state that they are wealthy because of ********** ministry and blessing, NOT because of Amway. Obviously, I don't care where people get their money. That's none of my business. My point is that I think it's deceptive to state that other people will reach a certain level of financial freedom by building a big team and selling products, when in reality, that level is paid out from event commissions, etc. I'm not going to participate towards funds that go to **********, *********', ***** ministries.Review from Alexander V

There's so many negative responses on here from parents or people that don't really understand, or just have had bad experiences life or had the wrong person. Or maybe the person that was there upline quit they didn't know that they could reach out to someone else. The fact is before I started my business I had almost committed suicide due to getting into very bad financial situations, getting around growth minded people who encouraged me to have more success in growth in all areas in my life and that I am capable of that has pushed me to even more levels of success then anyone else that I know in my family.I've been able to develop amazing relationships, there has been a few people that quit but there's people that have quit on me in every area of my life. But there is still people that are going out of their way to encourage me so my family can have a different outcome from where I started my life.I income basically went from $15,000 a year to almost $100,000 per year in a few short years The more I've grown myself the more success that I've had now I'm having growth in my business.And now I've been able to meet an amazing beautiful woman that has come into my life and that is encouraging us to put our children into a better situation than either one of us grew up in. She's not in business yet but she will be.Thank you LTD for everything that you're doing and look forward to the future.Review from Danny G

I have been a part of LTD for 3 years and I can say that I personally have grown so much as a person thanks to the role LTD plays in my growth. My mentors are awesome and definitely have impacted me with moving towards my greatness. I didn't initially see any why I would need to be involved with LTD but looking back on it I have avoided so many pitfalls from my mentors and the leadership provided. My advice to anyone on the fence is to go and find out for yourself if it's right for you.Leadership Team Development, Inc. Response

Thank you kindly *****, it's very encouraging to hear your words of hopefulness and we appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment with the Better Business Bureau.
Many LTD Members over the years have expressed very similar opinions and attitudes about the personal growth they've experienced through their associations with their mentors and the teams' influential support. As it is said, you're in business for yourself, but not by yourself.
We hope all the best for you and your business and great success to come. Keep moving forward one step at a time and never give up or give in!

Total a scam once your upline reaches a certain point in ***** they refuse to help you or communicate with you. You're left on your ownLeadership Team Development, Inc. Response

We're very sorry you feel this way but we all strive to do the VERY best in every situation and cannot please everyone all the time, no matter who the ***** upline IBO is or where they're located.
Also, we do not have a record of anyone by this name either in our past records or those who have discontinued their affiliation with LTD recently.
We do however wish for you the best in your future endeavors.

LTD is an amazing organization filled with very successful and inspirational individuals from all different backgrounds, religions, and ethnicities. I have had nothing but good experiences from the organization and with their mentoring, I have been able to get a great start to my ***** business. They teach their members success principles which are not always so easy to follow. I believe that is why many people bash the organization, as they are not self accountable or willing to do the work required to achieve success. The mentors in LTD do push their downlines to be the best version of themselves which sometimes will involve advice that the mentee may not like. However, every single one of my uplines has only provided recommendations, and it is on me to decide if I want to listen. All of the recommendations I have received have truly been in my best interest.
A common misconception is this business is a "legal pyramid scheme" but it truly is not. Yes, there is a prospecting process where they check people's interest, however, they do not have interest in recruiting someone who is not interested and will be quick to end the process if a prospect is not fit for entrepreneurship. Compare this to a job, they "recruit" employees to join their company and filter them per the prospects qualifications; LTD does the same thing and has no interest in begging or manipulating people to join. There is also a product being moved which is why this business model is legitimate.
All of the business support material offered by LTD is extremely useful if one is serious about building a business or learning about success principles. These products offered are absolutely OPTIONAL and IBO's do not have to purchase these. Uplines will recommend these to their mentee's, however, LTD mentors do not force anyone to do anything.
Overall, this organization has helped thousands of people become success and gain financial control. If one has a true desire to achieve more in life but doesn't know how, LTD provides a framework to allow people to reach their goals. The conferences are life changing events and have so much value. Very successful and accomplished speakers attend these events and share information that would normally cost an exponential amount of money to access elsewhere. I highly recommend LTD and would advise anyone learning about the company to hear out the opportunity.Review from Jody A

LTD is a dream seller with a very low or no RETURN ON INVESTMENT, but that is not the worst. The WORST is all the lies, the US vs THEM MINDSET, school represent debt, divorce your feelings and the total control over your life and finances. Not even your loving parents, family members or childhood friends can get to your head once you enter in this brainwashing process. I lost one my kids to LTD. She is now another person, doesn't want to finish school, says she will retired in a couple years, lies a lot, spends her little money in the business and have no time for birthday celebrations, family important events, etc. LTD is LTD time oriented, not family oriented. With the money and time you spend on this business, you can pay for college or win a scholarship, you can become a professional, Nurse, Doctor, Accountant, an Engineer, get a Business degree and have a real business that can become the legacy for you, your family and employees. I hope my daughter opens her eyes soon and I hope other parents don't have to go through this. It is the WORST feeling!!Review from Nick

It's not what you think when your first introduced to the business. It's basically a legal version of a pyramid scheme. Misleading information is presented to and try to get you to join but it turns into something much different. Again it's a legal version of a pyramid scheme. Do not participate in this businessLeadership Team Development, Inc. Response

This business is classified as a Direct-Sales business and therefore is sometimes confused with the label 'pyramid-scheme'. Here's the online Merriam-Webster's dictionary definition of pyramid-scheme:
"a usually illegal operation in which participants pay to join and profit mainly from payments made by subsequent participants"
In 1979, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ruled the business that LTD Members represent - ***** - was not a pyramid-scheme, legal or illegal. Here's the actual wording from the FTC decision:
The FTC said "***** differed in several ways from pyramid-schemes that the Commission had challenged. It did not charge an up-front 'head hunting' or large investment fee from new recruits, nor did it promote 'inventory loading' by requiring distributors to buy large volumes of nonreturnable inventory."
The ***** business opportunity requires Independent Business Owners (IBOs) to generate verified retail sales before any IBO may sponsor a new Member. In fact, NO MONEY IS EARNED BY IBOs FOR SPONSORING NEW MEMBERS. Period.
There are many activities in life whereby people choose to participate or not participate - everything LTD encourages or endorses as far as Membership, educational conferences, or purchases of Business Support Materials is strictly optional and comes with a 90-to-180-day money-back guarantee. Pyramid-schemes - legal or illegal - do not offer that type of generous guarantee.
