It’s likely that you have come across CEO Movement through an email list, on social media or got it recommended by a friend or family member.
Is CEO Movement a scam? The reasons why you’re here is because you have want answers right so, that’s what I’m going to provide for you within this CEO Movement review.
First and foremost I must commend you for actually doing a bit of extra research before committing to joining CEO Movement. For all you could have known, the product could be a major scam so the fact you’re here right now, researching whether or not that’s the case is a pretty smart move on your part.
To be fully transparent with you, I am personally not a member of CEO Movement so I can assure you that I will not attempt to sell you it unless of course it’s worth investing in.
What I will aim to do is provide you with an unbiased 3rd party look at CEO Movement that will hopefully help you to make the best decision you can in the end.
PRODUCT NAME: CEO Movement (CM)
OWNER/S: Ryan Felix and Rob Brautigam
TYPE OF PRODUCT: Entrepreneur Mindset/online training MLM
PRICE: $99/ 28 days
SUMMARY: I don’t believe that CEO Movement is a pyramid scheme or a scam, all of its signs point towards it being a legitimate company, from the solid training, the great success stories and a generally thriving community.
However, I also don’t like that it pushes people towards to purchasing the Kangen water filtration systems and I’m not a fan of the $99/month price tag, which I feel is a bit much when there are other platforms (like this one!) which offer equally valuable training if not more so at less than half the yearly asking price.
Therefore, I personally would not recommend CM.
Nevertheless, if you feel like it’s the right for you, I can’t say it’s the absolute worst decision you’ll ever make.
FINAL RATING: 3/5
RECOMMENDED: No
WHAT IS CEO MOVEMENT?
CEO Movement which also stands for “community of entrepreneurs online movement”, is a self improvement/entrepreneur mindset product that appears to operate in the MLM scene. However, that’s not necessarily the main focus of the product, it’s simply the business side of things if you want to make more money.
As for the owners of CM, they are Ryan Felix and Rob Brautigam where their intentions are, I guess you could say, split into 2 main practices.
The first practice is of course to improve your mindset and show strategies to better improve the way you approach a business, how you create a funnel of sorts via facebook ads and other means to hopefully get you in the mindset of making money.
The second intention is to promote enagic kangen water’s (which is the MLM side of the opportunity) filtration system which is a company that sells items starting at $1k up to an astronomically more pricey system at the top end of their line being just under $6k for a single system.
Of course by joining CEO movement, you’ll also be able to simply promote the membership to others, which I’ve found from my research isn’t a bad bit of training but, the high ticket water filtration systems being a part of it is probably my major issue with CM.

CEO MOVEMENT PRODUCTS
CM doesn’t sell any physical products of their own, they simply offer training, from beginner to advanced level, for individuals to get in the mindset of creating their own successful business.
The free webinar on the sales page quite briefly outlines what you’ll find within the members area, which includes business development training, training on how to advertise, even an area focusing on fitness, all so you can maintain a great mindset.
As for what’s offered in the members area, I’ll cover them below
Weekly Masterminds
There is a weekly webinar that’s held by the founders on pretty much anything related to online marketing or topics that other members within the community are curious about.
These are held live within the CM private Facebook group and are quite interactive so, there’s a lot more to it than just an information overload. I’m sure some members will be able to take home quite a bit of value from these.
CEO Movement’s Training
Within the initial free sales pitch/webinar, CM does outline the basic premise of a business such as how you need to get a product in front of people before you can sell them and of course researching products worth promoting (which in this case is the really high ticket kangen water systems).
This section covers the core business training within CM, which appears to mostly be focused on a few key elements :
- Online advertising : This will mostly focus on teaching you Facebook ads to get high ticket products in front of people
- Branding/Marketing : This section will teach you how to get your name and brand out their according to the founders knowledge on the subject
- Automation : lastly they’ll they show you how to automate certain elements of of the business. Some of this automation training will include a done for you funnel system in order to promote CEO movement to others as well as material to promote the MLM opportunity.
On top of the training, CM also provides a list of affiliate programs they believe are worth promoting and something you should promote too.
Personal Development
This side of the membership covers the fitness and mental area of the business game. We all know that it’s not easy to go from employee mindset to that of an individual who works on himself and can rely on themselves.
That’s why CM created this training to tackle these mental and occasional physical blocks.
I can see why they’re included in here and I’m sure it’ll provide a lot of value to a lot of people but, this is the kind of stuff that you could just as easily get for free so, it’s not necessarily CM’s strongest suit.
However, I will argue and say that the private Facebook groups and the likely encouragement from individuals in your exact position and from some who are above you, are still great things to have in order to really push and succeed as an entrepreneur.
1 on 1 coaching
This is included but it’s not quite to the level of legitimate coaching because I’m sure a few CM members will be very pushy and salesly as opposed to actually helping you.
In fact a commenter on legendary wallet said that they needed to buy one of the filtration systems on top of paying for the membership in order to gain access to the 1 on 1 coaching.
I’m sure not everyone is this pushy but, I assume quite a few people will be so, the coaching may not always be provided.
HOW DO YOU MAKE MONEY WITH CEO MOVEMENT?
As is the case with pretty much all MLM businesses there are 2 ways to make money with them, CEO Movement being no exception.
1. The first method is by directly selling the product to other individuals and/or implementing the training in order to create your own (hopefully successful) business.
2. You make money through your recruits and downline, by getting residual income by following and meeting certain criteria as well as make money through bonuses and incentives due to meeting company set goals (this from the optional Enagic Kangen Water opportunity)
HOW TO GET STARTED
If you want to join CM, you’ll need to invest a minimum of $99/month (it’s actually every 28 days) to get access to get all of the training within the platform, which in my opinion is actually quiet expensive when there are other platforms out there which offer similar, of not way more value yet cost less than half of what CM is asking for.
COMPENSATION STRUCTURE
There are two main ways to earn with CM. The first way is to promote CM’s affiliate program to others. I don’t see a problem with this because if you genuinely believe a product is good, why not invite others and make a bit of extra money right?
As for the MLM side of things, I believe it is a 2 tier MLM structure which means you’ll be able to earn from your personal recruits and your personal recruits direct recruits.
If you want a bit more information on CM’s compensation structure, I’d suggest watching the video below.
THE NOT SO GOOD THINGS
Geared Towards Selling Expensive MLM Water Filtration Systems
The fact CM really pushes selling a $1k+ system financially desperate individuals (I guess to some degree), is not a thing I like very much about CM even if the training and community as a whole appears to be quite cool.
I guess promoting Kangen Water isn’t necessary but not doing so may limit some of the options you may have within the community, such as a lack of 1 on 1 coaching.
It’s Expensive To Join
The membership cost of $99 are already quite expensive considering I know of a training platform that’s arguably much better costing less than $400 for a yearly membership but, what’s made worse is the fact you’ll also kinda be coaxed into investing even more money on extremely expensive water filtration systems.
THE GOOD THINGS
The Training Does Offer Value
The training is definitely value packed, although not necessarily the best training within the business creation side of things.
Of course this is the least one should expect when investing $99 every 28 days.
There Have Been A Fair Few Members Who Have Found Great Success
There are quite a few people who have found success through the training Ryan and Rob have provided so, this is also another positive thing because it shows the training can work.
The Community Appears To Be Cool
If you go on their Facebook page and check out the reviews of the system, the large majority of individuals genuinely seem to like the whole training sequence as well as the members found within the community.
So, this cool community is probably one of CM’s biggest strengths.

IS CEO MOVEMENT A PYRAMID SCHEME/SCAM?
I don’t believe that CEO Movement is a pyramid scheme or a scam, all of its signs point towards it being a legitimate company, from the solid training, the great success stories and a generally thriving community.
However, I also don’t like that it pushes people towards to purchasing the Kangen water filtration systems and I’m not a fan of the $99/month price tag, which I feel is a bit much when there are other platforms (like this one!) which offer equally valuable training if not more so at less than half the yearly asking price.
Therefore, I personally would not recommend CM.
Nevertheless, if you feel like it’s the right for you, I can’t say it’s the absolute worst decision you’ll ever make.
MY PERSONAL RECOMMENDATION
I personally will always recommend against using a MLM business model to make money, not because you can’t make money through it (you totally can) but, the system has always seemed shady to myself and is kinda synonymous with the likes of a pyramid scheme or scams (MOBE and Digital altitude).
Instead I prefer working with something created through ones own means and is ultimately dependent on yourself and your work ethic alone.
This method I’m talking about is affiliate marketing.
The reasons as to why I recommend it over MLM based structures are because
– there is no need to recruit constantly
– it is a legitimate method that has been working consistently and continues to grow as more businesses want individuals to promote products
– and because it is free to start up, no unnecessarily large start up funds needed.
The service I recommend is Wealthy Affiliate. It’s free to sign up to and will get you set up and ready to start your affiliate marketing journey within minutes, as it did for me when I begun my journey.
