I just received a third confirmation that Winters is breaking away from Britt World Wide (BWW).
Here is the quote as told by an upline Ruby to his downline:
"Winters Team no longer has any affiliation with Bill Britt or Paul Miller"
Outside of the obvious, this quote is telling because it places the emphasis on the Line of Affiliation or LOA over the Line of Sponsorship or LOS. Quixtar's Line of Affiliation has always been muddy waters, where groups joined together in various systems even though they weren't directly related in actual LOS.
I can say that for whatever reason, Winters seems to be breaking some Diamonds, whereas other teams like TEAM, BWW and WWDB are not.

Jakers, Aug.13 is right. To Dave, March 29: Larry isn’t conceited, and his heart isn’t focused on the material things. He shows you his lifestyle because there are people that want to know, if I put the effort into this biz, what kind of lifestyle can I have? You may not like the things he likes, or horses like his wife; but if they can buy things that they enjoy, maybe you can buy things that you and your family enjoy. And to your comment about, people don’t need all that money; that sounds like a selfish comment even though you didn’t intend it to be. What if you personally make $1Million dollars/year; why don’t you live off 10% of it, since you don’t need it, and donate the other 90% to people that need it like churches, charities, or worthy causes. Which is more selfish, what I just said, or making $50K/year at a job, and living on a $60K/year budget? Isn’t that what about 95% of people are doing, living in debt, meaning they spend more on themselves than they make? You need to know how much Larry Winters donates and helps people before you make a statement like that. Also there’s about 360 million people in America alone. The biz. is worldwide. Everyone won’t do it. Not worried about saturation.
To Marc, Apr. 19: Not sure what you’re trying to imply with this Bible verse, but it doesn’t describe Larry Winters and the LTD Team. Maybe you found this verse because you needed to read it for your own life; 10 Yet these men speak abusively against whatever they do not understand; and what things they do understand by instinct, like unreasoning animals-these are the very things that destroy them.
It sounds like You are trying to speak “abusively” against Larry Winters. Where has it gotten you in life and how has it helped you in your ‘spiritual walk’ since you read the Bible?
To PleasePleasePlease: In anything, it’s hard for a person, biz, entity to be highly successful without someone saying something negative about you. That’s just the nature of people. You have to decide, is that my personal experience, or is this source truly reliable. I’m sure you’ve shopped at Wal-Mart before; do you think someone has ever written something bad about Wal-Mart before or sued them? Yes, but is that your experience with Wal-Mart, and do you continue to shop there?
To David May 23: Unless you bought absolutely Nothing before you got into the biz., I’m not sure how you count buying products that you need for you household monthly, regardless, as an expense. The other investments you mentioned are optional, and designed to help you make money faster if you listen. But for sake of discussion, lets say you were right about the money you spent or invested depending on whether you were listening/applying the information; have you ever ran a traditional business? Pick your favorite business that you frequent a lot, ask the manager/owner if they are able to spend “$500/month”, and make 6 figures, or millions as a return on their investment. I seriously DOUBT it. Let’s look at the numbers on some other franchises. One of the cheapest ones is a subway, and it only cost you about $150,000 upfront, and something like McDonalds costs you $1 Million+. Do you have that laying around in the bank with nothing else to spend it on before you even open the biz? And yes, you can reach people in any environment. It’s just a bonus to do it, and make money.
Lisa, June 20 is right.
To Everyone Else: I’ve spent enough time educating everyone. It boils down to this: you can accomplish anything if you Believe in what you’re doing, and you back it up with Commitment through Persistent and Consistent Effort. If you’re a negative person, you can find something negative about anything, and criticize it. If you’re a positive person, you’ll find positive things, and eliminate distractions. It’s impossible to be successful at something if you quit before you reach the finish line. This is especially a bad decision when others have already shown you that the goal is attainable, and not impossible. It doesn’t matter how long something takes for you to accomplish if the end result is worth the wait. It is sad for you and your family if you give up a ‘great’(money+time to enjoy it) life for a ‘good’(money+little time to enjoy it) life. These statements apply to anything in life, not just a particular business venture. For me personally, a ‘good’ life, with 40+ years of working 40+hours/week just wasn’t for me. It may seem like the way to go, but not if you have a BIG DREAM, and want to spend the most time with the people you love, doing the things that make you happy. I hope this helps someone.
