Hello Achieve Community!
I saw your votes and know that the majority of you want to start up as soon as possible! Thank you all for letting me know you are ready to go, and to those of you who wanted to wait, you can join when the processor is done, that's fine too. So everybody wins.
It may seem like this has taken a long time, but the reality is this - we can't remove Payoneer from our back offices until next Monday night so that everyone who was paid and has an account with them can finish taking their funds out. So we actually got the new processor too early for us to attach it! That's good news.
As you all know, I'll only do what works absolutely best for our community, and having Payoneer on our site when new members sign up may be a bit too confusing. We also will be making some changes to the sign up procedures (including repurchases) for integration and extra security.
For those reasons I've decided that we will start up Tuesday. We should have our payout processors attached within a week or so from that start up date.
So, we are starting up without our payout processor and you will have to go back into your back office to attach them when that is ready, or you can wait until that's done and sign up or repurchase then. Your choice. But we will be ready for those of you who want to start up early on Tuesday. We will be able to accommodate all of you either way.
Monday I will be doing updates that will explain everything you need to know about signing up with us, repurchasing and how our start up will work, etc. so please read Monday's updates and hold your questions until then. You will have all the information you need before we begin Tuesday.
Thank you all again for your participation - it's going to be an amazing week coming up!
Enjoy your weekend.
To your success
Kristi

Second Tuesday Update
Hello Achieve Community!
You all did it! We have our processor! We will be starting up again!
And of course I have more information to share with you about this whole process.
The reason we aren't telling you who our processor is, is this.
1. When you sign up with them from your Achieve back office you automatically sign up with your account attached to us so that we can pay you.
2. It takes time for you to get approved with a payment processor. They need to know you are who you say you are - it's online processing, they can't see you, they don't get your signature, so they check your information.
3. If you go sign up with them on your own, you have to wait to be approved before you can attach your account to us in your back office and then you have to go through the process again to attach your account so we can pay you.
We ran into this problem with Payoneer when we started. What happened was this, people went and signed up with Payoneer and then didn't get approval or their cards for 2-4 weeks and couldn't attach their accounts to us to get paid. When they finally got their accounts approved, or their cards, it took more time to have their accounts approved again and attached to us. Most people were fine, but some went through the matrix before they had their accounts and had to wait to get paid until they were approved and attached to us.
Just doesn't work.
Here's what does work.
1. We don't tell you who it is until they are programmed into our system.
2. You go into your back office and sign up with them through our system and get approved.
3. You get paid.
When you go into your back office to sign up with the new processor (and everyone will need to do this - don't worry, they can handle it) - you will see the payment options. It's different for every country, so you will just have to make your own choices when you see what is available to you. Usually you will have an option for bank transfer, debit card, wire transfer, or there may be a few other options. It won't be the same for everyone everywhere. We can't tell you what your options will be - just wait until you can sign up please, and see what is offered to you.
More information about the banners. Some of you seem to think that we needed the Banners to get approval, that is not true, it wasn't required, and as I said in an earlier update, we always have added new products every month. What we do want for our processors and for our program is to show, into the future, that people are using our products, and banners are an easy way to do that - we can easily see that you are using our products every time you make a banner. So when that is ready, make banners! That will keep our processors happy.
Now about the timing. Here is the choice we have. And I would like you to comment on whatever platform you are reading this from - the blog or the Facebook page you found it on.
Since we won't have the coding for the Payout Processor until the end of the week, our programmer won't be able to attach it and test it until next week.
We could
1. Start up in a few days allowing new members to sign up and current members to repurchase and then everyone could sign up for the processor next week.
Or
2. We could wait until everything is done and then start up.
Tell me Achieve Members, what would you like us to do?
Thank you all.
To your success

Tuesday Update
Hello Achieve Community!
I've just heard from our processors - we are still in compliance being looked over with a fine tooth comb. And as I said yesterday, they aren't seeing anything that needs to be changed, so it's all still looking very good, that's truly good news. And now they are saying this week it should be done - that means I have to move our estimated start time out two more days to between anytime now and the 28th!
Once again I want to share with you a bit more about how all this works….
Here is what is taking the time - we are an online company. That means they look at everything about us online. There has been a lot of talk about Achieve - most of you know this already - we were very successful very fast and got a lot of positive attention. We had amazing numbers of people join us - over 9000. We changed some lives and began to make a difference in our world.
We also got the attention of people who make things up that are just plain wrong, share mis-information, twist what is being said into something else, give our members the wrong information. There are people that are dividing our community - criticizing and complaining about individuals in our community (that is just so not what we are about!), people demanding things be done differently than we are doing them (and why would we change? - what we have works!), comparing us to other programs that aren't anything like Achieve, promoting other programs in the name of Achieve, and tagging us in posts for other programs.
All of this gets looked at, and it takes a lot of time…. This may sound harsh, but consider this - the more negativity you, members of Achieve or not, continue to post and share, the longer it takes for us to start up again. Those of you who are ready join us in Achieve, or ready to see your positions hit the matrix, the people with all the criticisms are the people who are causing you wait. It's that simple.
What can we do?
I am not looking at those comments any longer because I need to stand for our future and be the positive voice of Achieve. That's who I am for you right now.
Everyone in our community can stand with me too. And you can all help us all, just like our community always has done.
If you see anything being said that is incorrect, correct it!
If you see anything that divides us, bring us back together!
If you see anything that is negative, share what is positive!
If you see disbelief, share belief!
If you see complaints, point out the positives!
Let's do this together! Let's get Achieve being talked about again in the most positive light we can create. Spend just a little time sharing what you love about what is possible here.
And then we can get moving again. And all that nonsense will be seen for what it is…nonsense.
I appreciate you all more than you know. Let's do this.
To your success

Monday Update
Hello Achieve Community!
I was hoping I would have a start date for you today! Our processors are still working on it though and still don't have a date for us. From my experience doing this, it doesn't look like there are any problems (that I would hear about), just taking them longer than they originally thought….which is normal also!
There are a lot more details involved with our program than most people see or hear about, and everything is moving along just fine, so no worries.
Meantime, we are getting the banners done and the new forum done and the time frame for those are 7-10 days.
I'm so excited to see us moving our matrix and paying people again. It's such a good program and makes a difference for so many people! Keep sharing those dreams you all have, they are coming true soon.
I'll continue to keep you all up to date, and wish it was ready now and know you do too…. but we just have to wait on them to be ready too.
Until tomorrow, thank you all for taking care of each other.
Soon!
Kristi

Sunday Update
Hello Achieve Community!
A few things need to be addressed here, and thankfully most of you will know all this, but we take care of everyone in Achieve.
First, if you haven't heard it here, it's not coming from Achieve. No matter what you hear out there, what people say is so, it is going to be what they have made up, and it's usually not true. If you want to KNOW what is happening with, for and about Achieve it will be in our updates.
Second, we work with people all over the world and that is why some things take longer for Achieve than for a more local company - it doesn't mean anything is wrong - just that we have to deal with a lot of time zones and different processes. This is good for us - it helps our program work for everyone everywhere.
Third, no one can use a Corporate Logo (that is not from their own company) to make merchandise and sell it at a profit. Even if you don't understand the laws around that, it's just common knowledge and common sense. We at Achieve have a marketing group that is creating our merchandise and a program to sell to our members with the profits going to charities that will be chosen by our members. If you have ideas for that, get with our marketing group. No one is profiting from this merchandise and our group is the ONLY approved seller for us. If you hear differently you are hearing made up nonsense. If you see other sellers, they are just using Achieve to make money for themselves without our permission, it's illegal and isn't benefitting our community.
Fourth, Achieve only has this one program. We aren't doing any other programs, we don't endorse any other programs, we aren't part of any other programs. We also don't compete with anyone else. I know many members are in other programs and that has always been fine, that's what our marketing materials are for - helping you in any company.
Achieve has made a lot of people a lot of money, it is going to make us targets for new programs.
There are people who are using our name to promote other programs, saying it's from Achieve, or for Achieve members or like Achieve. None of that is true. If you are on Facebook getting messages about other programs and don't like that, just mark the messages as spam - that's all you need to do.
If you are hearing from members of Achieve, even admin from our group, that the programs are Achieve programs, or you are sent to an Achieve group page for another program, you are hearing from people in our community who want to sponsor you into their program and make money off of you.
Some people want to join every new shiny thing, just be aware that we aren't endorsing any of them and don't know if they will work for you or not. So be careful.
Fifth, do not worry about Achieve. I am fully aware of how difficult it is to be waiting to start up again. And I am aware of the speculation that generates. Just know that everything is fine, and just like our matrix, it only takes time to take care of all the details involved. I'll update you tomorrow with our status, that's when I'll have more information about our processors.
One last thing - everyone who is in Achieve right now will be getting advertising banners for the positions they have already purchased. This new product will be available to you all when we start up, and to all the new members who join us from that point on.
Please take care of each other.
Have a Peaceful rest of your day/night and look for news tomorrow.
Thank you all.

Friday Update
Hello Achieve Community!
We are still, and will continue working on everything we need to do to get us up and running again, some things are going slower than others, but it's all moving forward.
So tonight I just want to wish all of the Achieve Community a Happy Weekend and encourage you to enjoy it with the people you care about.
Don't let anything or anyone ruin your happiness - you all make a difference just by going out in the world and sharing yourselves, your love, your kindness, your generosity and your spirit.
Make this weekend one to remember in even the smallest of ways possible and spread a bit more light in the world.
UK members enjoy your get together - I'll be with you in spirit!
Thank you all for being the amazing people you are.
Until Monday's update…
Fill the world with more love.
Thank you all.
