Liberty League Beyond Freedom: What can $1495 get you?
Beyond Freedom is the flagship product of Liberty League International. After paying your $49 entry fee it is the first product you are qualified to re-sell and with 85% of Liberty League associates making $35,000 per annum or less, is as far as many get within the business.
With a retail price tag of $1495 and very little information about what’s actually in there on the internet, I decided to take a look at what’s inside the Beyond Freedom package.
Beyond Freedom is supposed to be your entry point into the Liberty League lifestyle. I’ve read lots of ‘omg it’s amazing it totally changed my life’ reviews of it but when it comes to finding actual details of the content the information is a little thin.
The course is billed as a ’90 day multimedia personal development program’ and is shipped in a box directly from Liberty League to you.
As you can see the Beyond Freedom package contains an a4’ish sized box, a workbook, a journal, goal cards, a goal card pen, a wristband, a pad and pen and 4 dvd/cds in TRIGGER CASES!
All this for only $1495.
1. The Box
Shiny and square.
The image on the back of the box shows you what it’s like to look directly at a man’s genitals from below. I’m sure there’s probably some well researched scientific reason as to why this is inspiring but to me it’s just a box drawing my attention to some guys crotch.
The image on the front (pictured right) suggests that the only way to keep your loved one from leaving you after joining Liberty League is to embrace them in a rock solid bear hug.
You’re probably going to want to start practicing this now if you intend to sign up. Pets make good test subjects or failing that small children.
2. A Workbook
It’s a paperback book with paper inside. Presumably this has tasks and space for you to keep track of your progress throughout the 90 day course.
3. A Journal
With 85% of Liberty League associates barely making a return on their investment, it’s a thoughtful gesture for the company to include a journal for you to record your losses.
Sure to be filled with the tears, trials and tribulations of prospective associates trying to make it in the business, the Beyond Freedom journal is guaranteed to make you feel better.
But it won’t get you your money back.
4. Goal Cards and Goal Card Pen
Ok first of all the goal card pen is nothing more then a permanent marker, let’s just get that out of the way. I have no idea what’s written on the goal cards but i’m 99% sure they are to mark milestones or the successful completion of tasks out of the workbook and/or cd and dvd videos and audio.
After filling out the goal cards with milestones such as ‘losing my first $10,000’ be sure to get them framed and display them proudly on your walls. They make great conversational pieces.
5. Wristband
A wristband. Really?
Members of Liberty League will no doubt tell you wearing the wristband shows your commitment to the cult business and as long as you wear one no evil can become you.
People who aren’t batshit crazy will tell you it’s just a piece of rubber, or maybe plastic; I’m not entirely sure just how cheap Liberty League are being here.
No seriously, a freaking wristband?
6. Pad and Pen
I assume the notepad and pen are so you can scribble some quick maths and work out how much and how quickly you stand to lose money investing in Liberty League.
Either that or it’s to start your very own flipbook while you slowly go crazy from hours of frustration in chasing down cold leads over the phone.
I guess the notepad could be a good birthday present for your kids to make up for all the time you won’t be spending with them…
7. Dvd and CDs with TRIGGER CASES!!!OMG!!!
The trigger cases on their own are worth the $1495 you’ll be paying for Beyond Freedom. I don’t know about you but I’ve never even heard of this technology before. Who cares what’s on the dvd and cds just throw them out… TRIGGER CASES PEOPLE, HOLY CRAP!!!
What’s it all worth?
I’m going to use generous estimates here as I believe it’s only fair. Not knowing the exact manufacturing cost of the items it’s better to over then under estimate.
The box = $5 (probably less then $1)
Workbook = $5 (probably less then $2)
Journal = $5 (probably less then $2)
Goal cards = $1?
Goal pen = $1 (it’s just a permanent marker)
Wristband = 20c?
Pad and Pen = $5 (I note the pen has custom logo work on it and I presume it’s reasonably nice to write with)
4 dvd/cds = $5 (mass stamping cd/dvds costs peanuts)
Postage and Handling to anywhere in the world = $100
Total = $127.20
And that’s being overly generous with the postage, paper and burnt discs don’t weigh all that much so it’s not like postage is going to be huge.
Amazingly we’re still left with a whopping $1367.80 worth of unexplained value pinned to the content of the dvd and cds.
When was the last time you paid $1367.80 for some motivational audio and video? Or any audio and video for that matter?
While I can’t elaborate on the exact contents of the dvd and cd, some of my readers have been through the program and I encourage them to share what they found on them below.
It should make for some interesting reading at the end of which I urge you to ask yourself;
“is this worth paying nearly $1500 dollars for?”
Come on Oz, don’t be too harsh. The goal pen is a genuine sharpie, the wristband is real silicon and the pad is made of amazing post-it note technology. And yes they are fair dinkum super slimline TRIGGER CASES, The picture of it in action sold me.
I probably should have seperately included the TRIGGER CASES (omg!!) in the price of the materials for beyond freedom.
I bet they’re worth $500 alone. Aliens probably came down and gave the technology to Payne and Krider to share with us all.
Actually you can take the postage cost out of your calculations as this is an extra on top of the $1495US.
Oh you’re kidding me postage is EXTRA?
I suppose they expect you to record your own motivational footage and put that on the dvds too?
Personally, I like the dueling Google AdWord ads under this article. On the left is “AUS Research for LLI – Find Out Why I Left Liberty League Even After Purchasing The Products” and on the right is “Join Liberty Today – Let Today Be The Day Of Change. Enjoy Independence & Growth Now”. It is kind of Google to not completely undo what you are doing here.
After careful consideration, and having reads the posts from the LLI supporters who assure everyone that the system works, I’ve realised why I was such a complete failure and lost $10,000+.
Such a stupid mistake really… I think I wore the wristband on the wrong hand, or maybe I got the Liberty League post it notes confused and I wrote my affirmations on my other standard yellow ones… or then again maybe it was the hours I spent putting the cds in their cases just so I could use the amazing trigger function to get them back out.
As for the content, well the DVD starts off with some LLI associates sharing stories on how great the business is, and how fantastic the conferences are!
Oz… I’ll sell you my genuine Liberty League Beyond Freedom pen, post its, wristband, the goal cards and the cds and dvds in the amazing trigger cases (each with a different colour trigger) for lets say… um how about six figures… then I can become a Six Figure Chick too, easy as that!
Jenny,
Why not rip the DVDs to your computer and up them to a torrent site?
Then people can get scammed for free instead of paying $US1495 to get scammed.
LLI business opportunity for 99c buy it now on ebay, Bargain!!!
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/PERSONAL-DEVELOPMENT-HOME-BUSINESS-OPPORTUNITY_W0QQitemZ230363523721QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Business_Industrial_Businesses_for_Sale?hash=item35a2bc6a89&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Surely that’s against ebay’s T&C! Reported!
edit: Ebay have removed the listed item overnight.
This was a colorful yet realistic review of a very shady product. I almost bought into this some time ago. Reps wanted me to buy into conferences worth together over $12,000 USD and I didn’t even purchase the ‘Freedom’ Kit yet, LOl. For that kind of money, you could go to 3 of Tony Robbins life changing seminars. Seems like a cult and everyone’s eyes turn a different color once they get in. Good post. You should do one on LifePath now which is even more expensive, claim to be able to qualify you faster than LLI, and half of LLI people end up over there after their ‘career’ with LLI anyway, LOL. At least the LifePath course seems to have spend alot more money in R&D for their flagship product and have about 15 or (almost unknown) luminaries pushing there product. They seem even more creepier than LLI. They both seem like a brilliant pyramid scheme, even though they claim it’s direct sales. Madoff specialized in Direct sales as well, but it was still a Ponzi scheme ! Be careful out there with where you spend your money for investing.
A lot of Lifepath advertising on the internet is based on a ‘why we’re better than LL’ message, so I understand that LLIers think anyone who is against them is the opposition.
And I support forums like this, because for the most part no one is promoting an alternative… its just a an opportunity to share thoughts and experiences on the LLI business opportunity and products.
My experience, I lost over $10k, and I want people to be aware I’m not the only one in that position, many are far worse off as losing 30k isn’t uncommon.
Six Figure Chicks have accused me of belonging to Lifepath and I’ve come across them ind oing my research on Liberty League. To be honest I haven’t come across any direct advertising from them in my day to day life.
All these posts on Liberty League started because Six Figure Chicks amongst others started intrusively advertising on television and annoying the crap out of me.
Thanks for the review, even if it was a bit tongue in cheek. I have this to say. “A man who sees the cost of everthing see the value of nothing.” This will be what you want it to be.
LLI is another personal developement business which requires a lot of work. Everyone one is wasting time talking about the $1400 you have to invest, but they’re forgeting that they’re investing in themselves. You’re not paying for a journal,and “TRIGGER” cases. You’re investing in the tools needed to make you rich. If you’ve already convinced yourself LLI (or any personal development company) is a scam then you’re definately not going to get anywhere. Even if it’s just the slightest thought of failure.
You don’t pay $1400 and expect to have the money come flowing in. Like all successes, it all takes time and hard work.
What a load of utter crap.
Many of the stories we hear, even from those still within the company, are ones of putting everything into this crap exactly as directed by the ‘leaders'(HA), spending thousands on advertising, putting hundreds through the system, attending all the events, believing heart and soul in Liberty League and still failing to make anything.
I’m afraid at the end of the day, you still paid alot of money for a journal and trigger cases.
Tools to make you rich….. thats the funniest one I’ve heard in a long tome. I could have sworn you were selling personal development products?
Wristband – Kabala?
Goal Card – sounds like Gold Card?
And I simply must have some of those snappy trigger cases!
“Personal development”, “negativity”, Lifepath v Liberty League … the more I read the more like a cult it sounds.
The box deserves some more deconstruction because it contains clues.
“what it’s like to look directly at a man’s genitals”; the front photo with her to-camera, he away, inset with kiddies; SHE is the target market, twenty-something with a couple of kids, looking for something to do after marrage with kids now at school.
Yeah the box is quite interesting. I did semiotics at university and agree a whole post on it’s own could be written about the signs and language the box itself conveys.
All that pales in comparison to the trigger cases though. I mean I don’t even bother buying dvds or blurays UNLESS they come in trigger cases these days.
I mean what, you want me to open a case to get my discs out? Get stuffed.
If all this is really so bad, OZZ, Can you tell me or can anyone here tell me, why, why, why i can’t even find a trace of the polaris media group products for free – as mentioned early here some torrent sites like – piratebay, mininova, or other torrent search engines?
There is no single trace of it at all. if it is really a scam, everybody should put it for free on the net?
Please let me know i wanna take all this “scam” for free if it really costs nothing.
I would like someone who has actually used the Life Path Unlimited, Avant, Liberty League International, or Polaris Global, to contact me. Whether there experience was positive or negative I would enjoy having the opportunity to talk with a person invovled
