One of the nicest things about no longer being in Amway is that we no longer have to eyeball everyone we meet as a prospect to be recruited into the busines. No more striking up phony conversations with random people in the grocery store or mall.
What about being on vacation? You go to an all inclusive resort to relax and be pampered and instead you’re hounded by an Amway IBO.
On the other hand what IBO can afford to go on vacation? Wouldn’t they have to get permission from the upline. And then it would be a big NO. Why spend a couple of thousand on a nice family holiday in Hawaii or Disneyworld when you could be building your business and stocking up on Amway products and getting that PV up there?
We were standing in line at an Amway function, I think we were lining up for the place where dinner was being served. There was another guy in front of us and him and Ambot were bullshitting each other about their volume. Then they start talking holidays. Ambot mentions we’re thinking of touring Yellowstone Park and going up to South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore. That other good little ambot started to lay in on us about why were we wasting our money on vacation and it must be nice that we can afford it and all the other bullshit canned IBO speeches. How’s it any of his fucking business?
Oh wait. This is Amway. Our business is everyone’s business!
Damned cult!
Could you just see Ambot hanging out at Old Faithful where crowds gather every hour to watch the geyser? He’d have been hitting all the tourists asking them about their dreams and if they’d ever thought about owning their own business. Jesus he’d be there all day knowing he was going to catch a different crowd every hour. We’d probably get run out of the park by a ranger! Or they’d send Yogi Bear after us!
About a month before we quit Amway we stayed at a hotel and met a nice couple who lived not too far from us. Ambot was bragging to them about how The Slight Edge - on the required reading list - was about the greatest book he’d ever read. He’d bought a few copies of it and he gladly gave this couple one of his books and his phone number. Afterwards he’s all excited and telling me maybe he can sign them up in “the business”. Then he realized I wasn’t as excited about it as he was.
Perhaps that’s because I’d been reading Merchants of Deception.
By that point Ambot hadn’t been attending meetings regularly or buying Amway products. I knew it was getting close to him quitting.
But I mean how embarrassing hitting people up to sign up for Amway as an IBO or customer while you’re on vacation. Even more embarrassing when you have to watch your husband in action and knowing that’s the only reason he’s interested in meeting new people and chatting up others while on vacation.
Nobody wants to be bothered by overzealous ambots who are determined to show you the one and only way to financial freedom according to the Great Amway God.
Ambot and I recently enjoyed a wonderful vacation and it was so relaxing to chat with fellow vacationers about our lives and our other travels and our interests. No ulterior motive. Simply enjoying the company of others. Meeting new people and enjoying their company and not feeling like a low life bastard trying to prospect them into Amway.
There will always be a bit of suspicion when meeting new people who are showing an interest in you and your lives and wondering if maybe just maybe they are Amway IBO’s out to get you.
That’s not how people should feel when they’re on vacation. Relax and have fun and not get bombarded with Amway IBO’s.
The feeling of freedom is wonderful.
Freedom. A chant at Amway functions.
The real freedom only comes once you escape the Amway cult. The freedom to go on vacations and live your life as you see fit without being ridiculed by the fucking assholes in the Amway upline.
Strictly speaking, Amway assholes are never on vacation. They are programmed and brainwashed to keep their mental focus on nothing but recruitment of down-line. This means that they can never relax and just sit back to enjoy life.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to contemplate the fact that Amway is dying here in North America, due to the increasing difficulty of recruiting anyone with a brain to sign up for "the Plan." It's now common knowledge that Amway is a scam and a rip-off. A general understanding of the corrupt nature of MLMs is also spreading widely.
The same thing is happening, but more slowly, in India and China. Pretty soon the idiot IBOs in Amway will have to start recruiting in Siberia.
Anonymous- and won’t that be even more misery for Siberian’s!
DeleteAhh in that case, some of these low punks tend to draw down others so that we can't enjoy life without amway, because it ticks them off quite a lot. Can these superficial nonsensicals can farse somewhere with tribe people that currently have a beef with the modern world?(They've still exist today) Or get chewed on? these bigots sounded like one of those unhealthy minded christians that are desperate to find happiness(happiness is rather vague, anything can be happiness from separate individuals imo that is suppose to be moral) only in amway, as the normal sane person religious or not can do just that alone, just us existing will make ambots cringed as they're just jealous(ambots will even attempt to play the blame game as immature as they are if you call them envious). All Ambots are just miserable people and they know it within themselves with their delusional fantasy that they will never grasp to morph it into reality.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - Amway Ambots for sure are jealous of everyone who lives a better life than them. That's probably because the rest of the sane world isn't throwing their money away on a pyramid scheme. And yes Amway Ambots are the most nastiest miserable negative bastards around. Stay away from Amway losers is the advice I have for everyone.
DeleteThese Amway jerks are unbelievable.
ReplyDeleteDo doctors bad-mouth other people just for not being doctors?
Do engineers make fun of other people because they aren't engineers?
Do insurance salesmen ridicule other persons for not being insurance salesmen?
And yet these pathetic small-town losers in Amway have the nerve to belittle and denigrate anyone who isn't interested in being in the Amway racket.
The plain fact is this: being in a dipshit little nickel-and-dime pyramid scheme like Amway is deeply embarrassing. It's not just that the whole thing is a rip-off. It's that the whole things is so laughably stupid.
Anonymous - that's right. Most business owners or career professionals don't ridicule others just because they're not in the same industry.
DeleteOnly Amway Ambots do that to people who aren't Amway cult followers.
Yup stay away from stupid Amway losers and their beloved pyramid scheme.
