As to the genius, the idea of 2% for 180 days and then it ending is the very best part. And the biggest strain for the organisation is the first few years, WHICH WE ARE IN. After a few years when there are probably more expired units than those NOT expired, (after all dead units IS NOT dead money - its still working for PIPS) this makes a solid base for the company, All those units still live for the company, but dead to our ROL - that is the genius. Unfortunately there are those who do not want this to happen and have preyed on the vulnerability of the first few years where the concept is the toughest to actually make work. It is they who are making it tough, which brings the scum to the surface shouting "I want my money, I invested good money and Bryan made a promise, if I don't get whats due to me now, I'll teach you a lesson and bring you down - and call you names etc etc." If only those people would look at themselves in a mirror, and look at what they have done to bring PIPS down, and sow bad seed, and dash the hopes of the people who look at PIPS as a means of "making a change." It would be better for them if a millstone were hanged around their neck and drowned in the depths of the sea.
The PIPS concept is fantastic and Bryan has the guts to make it happen.
The community that has been generated from PIPS in the main is a wonderful community, and that is value for money alone.
Lets try and make this ROL CLUB community a positive club, and a club such as this is one that has a goal. This clubs goal as I see it is one of unity for members to communicate together and bring about the return of PIPS and to stand behind Bryan. That is what I see this club as being. However there are those here who while being a member of the club do not seek or stand behind Bryan, but curse and moan. If this is you, then that is not the spirit of being a club member. There are other clubs for people like you, like talk gold (thats the club where scum attracts scum).
Lets stand up for Bryan and the true PIPS spirit, and lets MAKE IT HAPPEN - all of us.
