You're being scammed if you believe the cherry picking facts in this movie: "Herbalife doesn't let you use its name on your fitness clubs". Yes and?...That's not shady practice - they don't monitor your club like a franchise would (think Mcdonalds). Therefore, they can't control how you represent them or the quality of how you run it. I wouldn't want you using explicitly my name either if I couldn't keep an eye on you.
Look, you'll meet salespeople in every business. Some people are pushy and don't tell you the truth. That could very well be it. Not the company's responsibility. BEFORE you sign up, there's a very clear document outlining that you may not make money (and other things clearly outlined). If you can't read or think for yourself, you shouldn't go into any business.
How much does it cost to be a McDonald's Franchisee? Oh right, about $1million. And you think Herbalife is going to give you money *right away* the moment you sign up with a minimal investment JUST for selling a few products? The company would go out of business.
Of course they're going to require you to gather a large sales team of distributors - they need to sell a lot of product before giving you royalties. Think of it this way - you have a new watch business. You need people to sell watches for you in order to scale - you don't give them half your profits right away, do you? ANY corporation works this way.
This movie twists facts to make it look like things are shady when there are simple explanations for them. And quite frankly, not everyone is an entrepreneur - you don't all have the ability to stick to something or to change your path. Look up Akbar Sheikh. Dude was living in a closet before he made his money on Clickfunnels. No wait, don't look that up. You might get scammed.
