Scam? Real? The National Society of Leadership and Success

[@letsgetdowntobusiness-]

They charge more because they need to pay for Kevin Harts motivational speech.

🤣🤣

[@TukoPinoy]

I don't care to hear from any actors or entertainers. I feel that is just marketing hype. That does nothing for me or my career. If I wanted to be lectured by Jack Black on leadership I will watch the latest Jumanji. Otherwise, I would rather the NSLS stay away from the Hollywood crowd.

[@kevinolliges5462]

Very informative. Thank you. My daughter received the invite. It sounds like they are trying to suck money out of poor college students. Very disappointing that they keep wanting money! Thanking again for your video.

[@SolM04]

To be honest, they are. They want you to pay for extra things that should be free with your payment. I think it should all be free, since they specify that it's by invitation only and all that.

[@fireluvr]

Wtf am I gonna learn from Hilary duff tho

[@SolM04]

That's what I thought about some of the "speakers" too. 😅

[@fireluvr]

@@SolM04 I did it tho I paid the 95$

Try to get the most out of the whole thing, to make it worth your money. @@fireluvr

they obviously just pay celebrities to endorse them......sororities are a business to !!

[@idjilju2835]

Thank you for this! I was recommended and was iffy about joining, but you convinced me to join!

[@theplaylabchicago]

Looks great on applications for scholarships and jobs and we do work hard and deserve it.

[@fireluvr]

95+125+125 in the grand scene is nothing

[@SoundMind1.17]

I appreciate this Video! Godbless you , When I first seen the invitation from my school, I thought to myself like “Oh no they just tryna get me to pay the rest of my school loans” 😭🤣 honestly. But you have clarified a lot🙏🏾

[@SolM04]

You are welcome.

[@Savage_Viking]

For profit organization. Not accredited. So basically it is worthless. They are even offering it to C level students. Think about that.

[@BoNeTaNg]

I am here in this video because I am a C student and did get an invite. Why do you say it is worthless though?

[@Bianca-wi1db]

$120 for a t-shirt and "opportunities." Better off putting that towards a Google cert or training in the relevant field you want to get into. Informative video, thanks.

[@SolM04]

Yes, the whole invitation and "better opportunities" bit really seems like a scam. I went through the whole thing to get a look into it and inform others. The money you would spend on this, you can spend it on other things, as you said like the training or certificates.

[@quoink5659]

@@SolM04Thanks for taking the hit for us! This video pretty much summed up what I was able to find out without paying the fee. I immediately felt like the whole NSLS thing was quite predatory. Plus, there seems to be plenty of other FREE opportunities (at least at my college) to network, take advantage of scholarships, develop leadership skills, etc. These free opportunities seem more hands-on anyways. I did not know about the essay/writing requirements for NSLS though. While I enjoy creative writing, I don't need to add more pointless work to my already work-heavy life.

[@SolM04]

This! You summed my video right up. People are already struggling with work and money. You can get free recourses outside of the leadership, which are the same as the ones they have. Thank you for your comment.@@quoink5659

[@kareem5795]

I got a letter in the mail from my school to join their NSLS chapter, but there is a $95 dollar registration fee, is this legit?

[@SolM04]

It's legit, just a lot of things to complete once you join.

[@faithautumn28]

@@SolM04how long do these things really take to complete??

[@SolM04]

It depends on the person. It can take a few days to a week.@@faithautumn28

[@shecell321]

Are the letters of recommendation already written ? How convincing are they ? And are the scholarships the same ones usually offered in your schools scholarship portal ? How many hours do you usually put in a week with all the writing or video watching ?

[@SolM04]

The letters of recommendation are given through your school and the society counselor can give you one too. You would have to contact them if you pay. Once you do, the person assigned to you shows their contact information. The scholarships are the same in my opinion. You can find the same scholarships online when you google it, instead of paying for it. The hours vary if you do them in person or online. In person you have to get together with your group. Virtually, you have to get your own group. So, the hours do vary, it can be days to weeks.

[@maier16]

Please make a video showing their webpage, including scholarships, etc. We can't see anything until we get the membership.

[@AlinaSilva-dy4ur]

You are a smart cookie but you have to do your research, certifications are not free, you are not forced to join :)

[@SolM04]

Yes, that is why it's on the person if they want to join or not. I made this video to inform others.

[@aaronaustrie]

Why are they charging all that just to get in smh 🙄🤦🏾‍♂

[@SolM04]

It should be free.

[@Wicked300L]

Hard work pays off!! You encourage me to work harder! Great information. Thank you

[@SolM04]

Hard work does pay off. Hope you reach all your goals. Thank you :)

[@Snowboy2015]

thanks. you saved me 100$. I'll spend that on a new camera lens. I was thinking of doing it just to meet chicks, honestly..

[@liusbeluu]

Thanks for the video. These contents helps a lot when doing research and determining what is best for one’s goals and objectives.

[@starrmont4981]

I accepted my nomination already and I'm trying to decide whether to upgrade to the other courses. It's giving sketchy vibes, but it's only a chunk of change at the beginning. Not sure yet.

[@decemberthao3563]

Thanks for the information. I just received the email and am doing research on this. So my question is... after paying the $95, i have to attent orientation and some meetings/seminars and then i will get my certification?

[@SolM04]

Hello and you are welcome. Yes, once you pay the fee they will tell you all the information. They will guide you in the process, if you have to go in person or online. They will also guide you in what you need to do and help you if you need help with anything.

[@JM-xp8te]

And for more money, you can upgrade your membership.

[@nickpiekarczyk3074]

So you don’t have to pay anything beyond the initial $95 if you don’t want to? That is, if you decide to join?

[@diamondlovely7]

Thanks for transparency

[@terrencegriffin3013]

I just received my certificate I am proud of myself

[@chelzdailytv]

Hi did you get a plaque with your shirt and stuff to put your certificate in?

[@SolM04]

Hello, and no I did not get the plaque. You have to pay extra for that.

[@queendiiva1]

i paid and never recieve nothing

[@SolM04]

Contact them as soon as possible. Tell them you paid and didn't receive anything. They need to check on their end and help you out.

[@valeriaschmidt4939]

My son got this invitation and he is not god in college at all!!!!!!!!!!! So I think this is a scam!

[@AlinaSilva-dy4ur]

I got on the dean’s list and recommended to join NSLS. You have to reach out to the university so they can send you a form to submit your choices.

[@domwings4329]

Sounds like all the videos you can get are available for free online. Seems completely pointless to join this society. Just spend money on certs or training/leadership courses. At least you’ll get full experience. Anytime there’s levels for more money, it’s just catering to people’s desperation to feel important which is shady. They are clearly out for money grabs.

[@SolM04]

Yes, everything is available online and even the job opportunity website. I got this to check what it was all about and how it worked. I then made the video for everyone else to see what goes on if you decide on getting the plan.I agree, spend the money on training and definitely don't get the upgrades on the website.

[@rjrofficial8469]

Can you get out of it if you want once you join?

[@lindaturner5936]

​@rjrofficial8469 you can leave at any point, you just have to send the orga inaction a letter. However, if you leave after 30 days, you don't get a refund

[@jahlorddayizi3081]

Hey, really appreciate you making this video. @9:10 you mentioned getting access to jobs, was wondering in what ways?

[@SolM04]

They have "access" to certain jobs or first pick in jobs with fairy boss. The counselor also helps with the recommendations.

[@CaptainBobbysag]

I am nominated. I am a 4.0 gpa student. Before I pay 95 dollars is this going to help me in the grand scheme of things to get a better job? Does it make a difference do you think?

[@SolM04]

Congrats on doing amazing at school. I would personally say that it doesn't help in the long run. I stopped using their "resources" because I was getting nowhere with them. I don't think it makes a difference. I got it to basically see if it was a scam and what they were about. I liked that I was getting a recognition for my hard work, yet I didn't like that I had to pay for the recognition. Ask your school about jobs and then use platforms like indeed, google and even fairygoodboss.

If your place of graduation allows you to, then they do. You have to pay extra for the chord. I didn't purchase that nor the other graduation things because it was more money.

It’s kinda like religion… they’re selling an invisible product with no guarantees. Read their fine print. 😂😂😂😂😂

Yes, they are selling an "invisible" product. That's why many people don't know about this. I was very suspicious of this and wanted to try it out. I agree, it's important to read the fine print.

It's truly sad when a organization that helped so many students, including my son who couldn't even afford to go back to school become the success he is today. You sound like a bitter person who is out to her and organization who have helped thousands and thousands of students. If your personal experience was not a good one, then that's where you need to discuss that with them and possibly get a refund. But to go out there and hurt an organization who employs so many and has helped so many this is really sad. Take your bitterness and apply it to your energy and then maybe you can become successful.

[@SolM04]

It’s sad to have people like you come into my channel and comment things like this. Just like you, I am entitled to my opinion. If my opinion helps others, so be it. There is no bitterness on my part. There may be some to question on your end. Good that it worked for your son. For many others, this organization doesn’t help us out. This organization doesn’t employ students, it gives resources for students to use. Have the day you deserve and if you don’t like the content you see, just skip over.

[@betseewho765]

And it's sad to see you make money off people and hurting them, why don't you talk about you ripping off people and lying about most of the products so you can get more products. How about this, why don't you get a job.... And pay taxes like the rest of us
