Amway Ambots Can’t Grasp Simple Business Concepts



There are several steps a person takes when deciding to start their own business. Sometimes its already decided for them if it’s a family owned business. Amway is owned by two families and if your last name ain’t VanAndel or DeVos then you do NOT own an Amway business. But forget inherited family businesses. Other people have a talent that they can make money at. Others buy an existing business. Others figure something out that they might not be passionate about but the dollars are good.

Once a person has decided on a business then they figure out is this the type of business they can run out of their house or their vehicle and save money on buying or renting a business space. So figure out the space and the cost of doing business there. Then there are other pesky things like registering a business name, a business license, getting a tax number, business bank account, business insurance, hiring professionals such as accountants and lawyers, deciding on hours of operation, company policies, hiring staff, buying office furniture or other things that your business needs to operate, etc, etc. Some business have lower start up costs than others but most businesses have to go through many of the procedures I’ve listed.

At Amway meetings no real business advice is ever given out but that’s because its just a pretend business where the Amway cult leaders brainwash ambots into believing they’re business owners instead of telling the truth that they’re commissioned salespeople. An Amway asshole screeching out: DON’T DRESS LIKE A SLUT!!!!  is not what I’d call good business advice! Amway ambots don’t bother with those pesky things like a business license, tax number and insurance. They do pick out a phony ass business name to put on their dumb ass business cards but they don’t go to the trouble of paying to register it, that is if someone else hasn’t already chosen the name they use.

In the start up phase of a new business there may be shortfalls in income but hopefully there comes a point when the business turns a profit and the revenue continues to increase every month. Its not easy being a business owner especially in the beginning if you can’t afford to pay staff. The owners puts in long hours and hopefully not losing money. Even when the business is up and running good there are still times the owner has to put in long hours. Everything has to be taken care of before closing up shop at the end of the day. There’s been times we’ve been hard at work late at night and then stopping by an all night restaurant at 10 or 11 to get dinner cause we don’t feel like cooking when we get home. So now’s a good time to send out a big old FUCK YOU to all those Amway assholes that stop by here and accuse of us being lazy and working a J.O.B. for someone else like where the hell would I find the time!

For an Amway ambot “working” could mean a whole bunch of things. It could mean phoning and bugging family and friends to buy shitty overpriced Amway products and begging and pleading with them to come to Amway meetings. Or it could mean dealing with endless phone calls and texts from the assholes in your Amway upline. It could mean meeting some fucking asshole in your Amway upline for a 5 or 6pm “business meeting” and then on to the Amway cult meeting at 8pm. 3 hours later the ambot is still “working” when there’s a small break before the Amway nuts & bolts meeting or the night owl or whatever bullshit term they use to keep the ambots there and sleep deprived. All the better to brainwash them. Common cult tactic.

These Amway meetings run several times a week. Cult tactic of keeping the followers busy so they don’t notice they’re not really business owners and they’re losing money instead of making it.

So much for that lie about working Amway 10 to 15 hours a week in your spare time. Double or triple that on time wasted bullshitting with other Amway assholes at the various meetings or phone calls or texts.

Cost of running an Amway “business”. Start up costs around $200 depends on the package you buy but if you’re a “serious business builder” you’ll probably go for the super jacked up package and then buy a bunch of useless shitty overpriced Amway products on top of that to impress the fucking asshole that sponsored you into the Amway scam and to get yourself into the 100PV bracket right away to qualify to earn a commission check that month. Then spend another $100 or so a month on the Amway tool scam. Total $500 to $1000/month (depends if there’s a major function that month) an Amway “business owner” must fork out of their own pocket to buy about $300 worth of Amway products and then spend on the Amway tool scam to earn $10 commission.

Yup. $10 back for investing all that time and money. Repeat month after month after month…..

The thing that a real business owner knows is that working long and hard hours for minimal payoff is not a sustainable pattern for any small business.

Simple concept isn’t it?

One that Amway Ambots just can not grasp.

    1. That's right Anonymous. We tried a couple of different businesses not counting the fake Amway business, so lots of people try different things before finding something that sticks. Amway losers can sneer at that all they want! LOL!

  2. Since Amway is a substitute religion and not a business, the Ambots don't seem to mind that they are losing money month after month.

    2. The more money they bleed, the more successful they are.

      That's their mantra.

  3. Hi Anna Banana!
    I am so happy I have come across your blog. I have read your whole post and replies from your 2015 spring leadership post. and i agree with everything you have said wrote. I was introduced to WWDB slowly, and I decided to join on a whim , and when i signed up NOONE mentioned that I had to pay 300+$ for the minimum PV. They swore they explained this to me...they didnt. then i noticed i had to PAY FOR ALL THE TOOLS...before they made it seem like it was all included in the price. THEN, they had me sign up for the kate thing and i couldnt understand WHY because there are many of apps out there to use FOR FREE. i didnt understand it. I had faith in it so i went with it, and in my heart it felt wrong....i lost 1000$+ and I am certain, that I am leaving this business as of right now.

    1. Hi Anonymous. I'm glad you found us. Yea that 2015 post is really high on the search engines. If I recall there's way over 100 comments left and that's what keeps it up high on search engine ranks.

      Ambots count on people like you to sign up on a whim after getting motivated by some sack of shit preacher at an Amway meeting. They want to sign you up before you can get to a computer and do your research. But some people sign up, show up here or other blogs, and go holy shit I've been scammed. And they get out before losing much money. If you only lost $1000 or so you're lucky. Most Ambots lose that much a month.

      Of course no one at Amway meetings discloses to you all the costs involved once you sign up to be an IBO. That's all part of the dishonesty techniques the Amway cult uses. That's why we constantly post here about the costs an Ambot can expect to shell out each money to the Great Amway God.

      You might notice in some literature given to you by Amway that the head office makes reference to their various cult sects that sell "motivational materials". Amway says in their brochure you received that purchasing these "motivational materials" is optional and if you don't buy them your upline still has to work with you.

      Bullshit!

      At every Amway meeting I went to our sack of shit Platinum made it very clear if we didn't buy the "tools" he wouldn't work with us and the other assholes in the Amway upline parroted him. But you were probably told in the beginning that those Amway losers would lend you their material.

      Amway Ambots are a bunch of liars and scammers. And sometimes it takes awhile for someone to realize they got lied to and scammed. Usually after they've sunk thousands of dollars into Scamway.

      Yup good decision getting out now. Amway will only bring you financial and emotional distress.

  4. Your upline will show you "the Plan" but in the back, they will do anything to slow you down from reaching the goals of "the Plan" because if you climb the ladder of "the Plan" eventually you will receive a share in the profit of tools which your upline doesn't like: profit sharing.

    1. Anonymous - that's true. Ambots will throw out as many lies as they can if they think they have a live one who'll sign up to their scam.

  5. Does anyone here know the book "Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill? It seems to me that the message of that book is at the heart of the whole Amway pretend-business.

    Hill says that the way to grow rich is, before anything else, to psych yourself into an obsessional state where you are fixated on the IDEA of being rich, and on the unshakable conviction that you WILL be rich. That's all that matters.

    The book (published in 1937) has remained wildly popular in America. Along with the "Power of Positive Thinking" crap by Dale Carnegie, it seems very close to the crackpot thinking of Amway.

    Doesn't this sound like the kind of freaky insanity that one hears at an Amway meeting or function?

    1. Hi Anonymous - nope I've never heard of that book but it sounds like something the Amway cult leaders would be selling.

      I can think up all kinds of things and they'll never happen. I'll never be a baseball star and make huge bucks as a major sports star hero.

      It's kind of like the dreaming that Amway Ambots do. They go to RV and boat dealerships and dream their life away.

    2. "Think and Grow Rich" is big with the LTD Ambots. My ex probably had seven or eight copies scattered around his apartment. Ex got mad at me because I wouldn't let him download it onto my Kindle.

      I tried to read it once, got about ten pages in and said "This is a load of crap!" It's exactly the shit you hear at Amway meetings. All you have to do is believe and whatever you want will come your way.

      Whatever. I can believe I'm the Queen of England and think that I'm going to be the Queen of England all I want but that's not gonna make it happen.

    3. Anonymous - I believe your book review is probably dead on! LOL! I don't have to read too far into most books to decide if they're crap and I don't need to read any more. Yeah who wants Amway shit on their Kindle. Its kind of like having to put up with Amway toilet paper in the bathroom. Or any other Amway product inside the house. Pure shit.

      Yeah you're right. No matter how much we dream to be the queen of England and believe it will happen, it's not going to happen. But you just gave everyone a good idea to respond to when an Amway Ambot asks what your dream is! LOL!

    4. I thought that the book "the power of positive thinking" was written by Norman Vincent Peale.

    5. Let me correct my earlier post: the book "The Power of Positive Thinking" was written by Norman Vincent Peale, not Dale Carnegie.

    6. I personally have no knowledge who wrote the book. Never on my reading list though I think we may have had it in the house during the dark ages of Amway.

  6. Ambots always like to screech at people for having a job and not a business. However, one does not need to own a business to be successful, let alone a questionable phony business. It is a fact that not every one on Earth can do business, some might not have the attitude, talent or sometimes simply the luck.

    Ambots are sometimes contradicting when it comes to jobs- Jobs are for losers. How about the pilot that flew you to the annual brainwashing session- since he/she does not own a business does that mean he/she's a loser?

    1. Gene - that's true. There are very successful people who work for someone else. Not everyone has it in them to be a business owner. And people who are real business owners don't go around sneering at people who work for others, the way Amway losers do.

  7. I had a girlfriend whose father worked all his life for Merck Pharmaceuticals. Not as a highly paid researcher or chemist, mind you -- just an ordinary employee.

    When he died, his estate was over five million dollars, not counting his house.

    And those Amway jerks say you can't get rich working for somebody else? What assholes.

    1. Anonymous - and that's a good story. You don't have to be a business owner to retire rich. It's all about making good financial decisions. A thing that Amway Ambots know piss all about. Make some good investments and you end up a millionaire. Even on a regular salaried job. I'd say Microsoft and Facebook among many other companies have employees that have got rich working for somebody else.

  8. The title "Independent Business Owner" gives them the chance to brag that they know everything about business management skills.

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!

If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:
1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.
2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.
3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.
4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.
5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!
6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.
7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.
8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?
9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.
10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. Gets checked occasionally. We’ll get to you eventually and approve it as long as it really isn’t spam.
