At Amway meetings I attended the speaker was very careful not to use the words “get rich quick”. Those particular words make most people wary. The old saying about how if it sounds too good to be true comes to mind.
The Platinum or Diamond speaker avoids saying the actual words “get rich quick” but everything else they say implies that a person will get rich in Amway fairly quickly.
Take a popular phrase at Amway meetings “two to five years”. What can happen in two to five years? Why - you can go Diamond of course! The Diamonds show all these videos at Amway functions with mansions, sports cars, private jets, and exotic vacations. The message is that in two to five years that’s the lifestyle all the IBO’s in the audience will be living. Anyone remember that TV show called “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”? That’s the perception we’re getting with the Diamond’s videos. That type of lifestyle. The people that Robin Leach was interviewing were earning millions of dollars a year to sustain that lifestyle. The same lifestyle that Amway Diamonds show that they’re living even though Amway literature says average Diamond income is about $150K/year. Its not easy to lead a multi millionaire lifestyle on a low 6 figure income. Its a lot cheaper to rent a house, cars, airplane, etc for a few days for a movie shoot than to actually own the stuff. I have no way of verifying one way or the other that the things the Diamonds are jumping all over in their videos are actually owned and fully paid for by them or staged for the video.
Is two to five years a long time? Or is that a reasonably quick time to be earning millions of dollars a year?
OK I’m going to pick on Nicolas Cage here. And not in a mean way. Only because he’s been in the news. I like him as an actor. I’ve seen a lot of his movies. “Gone in Sixty Seconds” he made $20 million dollars. The “National Treasure” movies he made $20 million each. Here’s a guy who works lets say maybe a year on a movie and he earns millions of dollars. That sounds pretty “get rich quick” to me. On the other hand this man has lost 2 homes - probably mansions - in New Orleans to foreclosure and his Las Vegas home to foreclosure. He’s having all kinds of money problems. He can’t even sustain an Amway Diamond lifestyle and he earns millions of dollars a year more than those Diamonds. I think Nicolas Cage better make another National Treasure sequel before he gets prospected by some Amway IBO!
Our sack of shit Platinum says if you are CORE then in 6 months you’ll be earning more than $75,000/year, usually the numbers went up the longer he talked so $80,000 or $100,000 or $125,000 was tossed around a lot. Although that might not be “rich”, 6 months is still a reasonably “quick” time to make $75k plus. Our Platinum also said if you get 20 friends to buy $25/ month from Amway you’d be earning $1000/month. Hunh? Let’s do the math. Amway is earning $500 from those 20 friends spending $25 each. How the hell can the lowly commissioned salesperson IBO earn $1000/month from that??? That sounds pretty good to me too. Earning double what Amway takes in. Who wouldn’t want to jump on that deal? Just more lies to scam in new prospects. Our Platinum claimed he worked less than 10 hours a week and earned over $100K a year so that means he’s another fucking lying Amway asshole or he’s including income from other sources plus the shit pay from Amway. To a person working a cash register for minimum wage 40 hours a week, I would say working 10 hours a week to earn $100 thousand a year sounds like “get rich quick”. And its even lower than the Amway threshold of 10 to 15 hours a week. Amway is all about juggling the numbers to confuse people and scam them into the cult.
I realize its all about perception. Some people out there will think $75 or $100 or $125 thousand a year is dog chow while someone else will think they’ve hit pay dirt.
Perception. Illusions. Its all part of the Amway scheme.
HEEEELLLLPPP!! I stupidly entered amway..because of my shitty brother. How do i quit? my b4other was mlm-ed twice...first time he got out...but this time he still in...i dont get it he was mlm-ed twice
ReplyDeleteSucks to have a shitty Amway ambot brother doesn't it. Just cut your losses and quit before you lose any more money, time and brain cells. Your brother got roped in again because the Amway asshole that recruited him managed to convince him the group he was in last time were losers and this group is way better. Amway is a blame the victim scam. If you haven't already done so download a free copy of Merchants of Deception on the right side of this page and try to get your brother to read it too. Good luck!
DeleteHey there Anonymous,
DeleteGetting out's pretty easy. You just have to do absolutely nothing and let your subscription expire. Also, you normally have 90 days to cancel your subscription and get a full refund on your entry fees. Try calling Amway directly for your refund though, you'll probably have more luck than with your upline

Also don't buy any products from him to "help him out" it only encourages the ambot to stay in longer. All the meanings are the same too where they blah blah and talk about themselves without saying anything of real substance. I would always think "when are we going to talk about business instead of bullshitting all the time".
DeleteIf you're lazy and do nothing you make nothing
DeleteYou're fault
Shemara - and how does whether or not I'm lazy affect your life? You fucking Amway losers are a bunch of whining assholes. That's what this blog is all about making sure the rest of the world know people in Amway are assholes but its always nice when one of you Amway losers shows up here to make an asshole out of themselves. Makes my job easier. And isn't that what being lazy is all about.
DeleteWhat the fuck Netha?
ReplyDeleteI can see those are links of some sort, but I won't click on them as I'm going to assume they are some scam and leading to viruses.
ReplyDeleteGood plan Anonymous. Don't click on links that's obviously from a scammer. Also possible virus. You can download free virus programs that are pretty good.
