I am one of the many individuals that lost their life savings after purchasing an ActionCoach Franchise. I was one of the lucky ones who didn't have to continue paying $1,500.00 a month for franchise fees after my franchise went belly up so I guess I am one of the fortunate few. Many ActionCoach franchisees lost their homes, retirement funds and were forced into bankrupcy to avoid paying monthly franchise fees after their franchises were no longer operating. I am not listed in their UFOC as a franchise that left the system as so many others who walked away from their franchises after financial ruin. When I inquired with ActionCoach why........ I was informed my franchise was resold therefore they were not required to disclose that my franchise was no longer operating. Although they claim they resold my fanchise I never was able to recoup any of my life savings. ActionCoach is in the business of selling training, franchises and marketing merchandise. Once they clean you out financially they have no use for you. There is little support other than a call here and there out of the blue usually to sell you something else. The coaching was a tough sell because most people in America have never heard of Brad Sugars and the ones that have can't stand him. These people were turned off by negative posts on the web from farmers he stole from in Australia and his arrogant, self promoting antics. Hopefully my experience will save just one individual from the hardship Brad Sugars has inflicted on so many all so he can buy another fancy automobile to pose in front of and brag about how rich he is. Brad Sugars is interested in getting your hard earned dollars and offering nothing more than his tarnished reputation which is worthless in America. I would not recommend this franchise to anyone.

Brad Sugars “King of turnover” he would like to tell you that turnover is about profit unfortunately its about his staff he cant keep any staff in any country he is in, his staff has turned over in the U.S. more than 10 times in seven years and its worse in his home country of Australia. The man is corrupt without morals and would take your last dime or sacrifice your family without conscience. The fact is he has no conscience the things they say about him are true check the facts as commented above they are a matter of public record. Check the one positive comment by Craig Honhberger struggling to save his own business by acting as a proxy for Brad because he is weak and intimidated. I personally know he hates the man, I know he loves the business and needs to protect his family so he will say anything. Call the other master licensees they will tell you the truth if you persist because if you buy and they lied about this they will have to face you for many years. Truth is anyone who actually really knows Brad either loathes or hates the man but they are stuck with their eggs in his basket and would tell you anything to protect their eggs. Ask for the names of all of the past Presidents of Action USA or Canada and call anyone of them you will get the truth and it won’t be pretty. I will venture to say they wont give you those names or they will try to discredit them all 5 Presidents in 7 Years, or ask Jodie Shaw who leads off this post attempting to throw the light off the facts and truth ask her how long she has been telling lies for Brad and ask her to provide the names of the four who preceded her and ask her why they all quit. Or ask Brad yourself he can be found many nights in Las Vegas with hookers on his lap at various night clubs while his wife and kids are at home waiting for him. Run far and run fast -

It was just a matter of time until the truth about this guy surfaced. I'm sure his legal goons are in action right now to shut this site/thread down!
Proverbs 26:24-26 A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but in his heart he harbors deceit. Though his speech is charming, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart. His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly.
Proverbs 6:15-19 Therefore disaster will overtake him in an instant; he will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy. There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.
Proverbs 13:20 He who walks with the wise grows wise, but a companion of fools suffers harm.
Proverbs 24:12 If you say, "But we knew nothing about this," does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?

It seems like the supporters of Mr Sugars' only defense is that he is in business and therefore he must not have done all of these things since there are laws against them. With this line of reasoning, there would be no murderers, rapists or robbers since that is also against the law. Either these lawsuits exist or they don't. Either there are a large number of former franchisees who were broken or there aren't. Most of this info should be able to be found in the UFOC (although an earlier poster obviously hints to improprieties in UFOC reporting as well.) -

They think they can avoid bad publicity by spamming the blogs, and buying up tons of domain names to push the google rank down. Remember, good deeds are done in the light, while evil is always veiled. Why would they spam the blogs? There has been a surge of positive blogs online which link right back to Actioncoach's main office. Regardless, soulcast has remained in the top 3. There has also been a surge in negative blogs as well. Check out how many links I stumbled upon this morning:

There were a few more, but I think my point is clear. With their fraudulent manipulation of franchise numbers, and all their hidden fees and clauses in their contracts, how long it will take for someone to find a legal hole in their fraudulent scheme. Ask any petty criminal, you can only rob gas stations for so long before you're caught. Actioncoach will surely be caught before long as well. I challenge all of you unhappy coaches and firm owners to get good lawyers, and keep your eyes open. I know I'm interested in seeing what they do once the do get in trouble. -

It has been over 2 years since this site went up. I am proud to say that many have been spared the misery so many have endured after getting involved with Actioncoach formerly known as Action International since reading these blogs. Through this site and others, individuals have been informed of the truth about Brad Sugars as an individual and as the CEO of Actioncoach. Brad Sugars has taken advantage of a lot of people first selling a worthless dream then sucking every last cent out of these victims. Many even after they lost everything (their homes, life savings and even their marriages) Brad and his flock continued to demand the $1,500.00 a month franchise fee threatening legal action if they did not pay. Brad is determined to stop these blogs even if it means hacking the sites as he has recently done. He has your dollars to do it. We must stick together and keep the public informed to protect others from all the hardship Brad Sugars has spread across the world with his lies, false promises and pure greed to steal not only our money but our souls. From this point forward the best place, safest and most productive to post your blogs is on the ripoffreport.com. If 5 reports are filed the rip off is featured, you can also post photos or piggyback on reports already filed against Action. Don't let Brad win just because he has the means to cover the truth up. Action may claim that every day they sell a franchise but the truth is these sites have the ability to prevent someone from being ripped off by Action everyday. Everybody do your good deed and keep these threads going by exposing the truth about Brad Sugars. -
