When I attended Dream Night
several couples were invited to come forward, take the microphone, and say
something. I think they may have been eagles or double eagles. They’d reached
some level but I’m sure it wasn’t Platinum or higher probably a lack of those
in the room. I remember one couple who were extolling the virtues of an Amway
business and the wife screamed out “What else is there?” Assuming she meant in
the way of business opportunities or making money outside of a J.O.B.
Let me answer her question. Just about EVERYTHING else is out there! I know
lots of people who have found success while successfully staying away
from Amway.
“Amway is the ONLY thing you can do
to succeed in life” is a message I’ve heard over and over again at meetings run
by Platinum, Emerald, and Diamond speakers. Part of the brainwashing technique.
Can’t let IBO’s think there are other things out there where they can succeed
in life that might redirect their time, energy, or money away from the Amway
scam. Ambot already has reasonable success but once he joined the Amway cult
his business was constantly put down for one reason or another (what if he gets
sick, what if there’s a slow down, etc) and he was brainwashed into thinking our
business won’t last but Amway success is forever.
Everyone has different opinions on
what defines success. I could list hundreds of items and still not be finished.
For some people success could be determined by earning a desired income,
reaching a scholastic level, owning a restaurant that is packed every night
with patrons, getting picked for a local circuit baseball team, publishing a
book of poetry, playing a musical instrument, losing weight, getting married,
buying a New York City penthouse overlooking Central Park..... The
possibilities are endless.
Suggesting that to most rational
human beings - Amway is NOT the ONLY thing one can do to succeed in life.
“There is nothing else out there
except Amway” is a similar phrase drilled into IBO’s as part of the
brainwashing techniques. The cult leaders tell IBO’s they must discard anything
else in their life that isn’t making them succeed at Amway.
I also heard enough times “What are
you willing to give up to succeed in this business?”
The possibilities of what an IBO
should discard are also an endless list: spouse, family, friends, church, job,
TV, books, hobbies, car, house......
Who says you have to give up things
or whatever makes you tick as part of your lifestyle in order to become
successful?
How many apprentice mechanics are
asked what things they are willing to give up so they can fix cars? Who would
tell a mechanic in order to open up his own garage he must give up his wife,
his TV, his friends and his hobbies, sell his house, get rid of his dog, etc or
he will never succeed.
Ridiculous huh? Well maybe only to
people who are not brainwashed IBO’s. People are capable of juggling other
things in their lives while at the same time succeeding at their chosen goals.
Apparently not Amway IBO’s if you listen to the hallowed cult leaders.
Amway is NOT the ONLY thing one can
do to succeed in life. Based on mine and Ambot’s experiences I’d say Amway is
about the only thing we’ve ever failed at. In a system designed to set up
failure. What else do you expect?
Want to succeed? Choose anything BUT
Amway.
Since Amway is basically a business cult, it must totally dominate the lives and thoughts of its members. This means establishing an "us-versus-them" attitude towards anything in the world that is not involved in the cult.
ReplyDeleteMaking people feel contempt for any kind of job, or for work that is not connected with Amway, is a typical cult tactic. It's a way to enforce uniformity of attitude and belief, without which no MLM cult can survive.
Anonymous - the Amway cult totally dominates the lives of Ambots and brainwashes them that anything outside the Amway cult should be avoided. Yup MLM cults would not be able to survive if their cult leaders are unable to manipulate and brainwash the followers.
Delete"Broke loser" is right. That's exactly the kind of person that Amway is looking for to recruit into the racket. Smart people make plenty of money at good and useful jobs. But losers are stuck in dead-end positions where they can barely make ends meet. Those are the types that Amway seeks out for recruitment -- the ones who have nowhere else to turn to make money.
ReplyDeleteThat's why that stupid Amway bitch at the function screamed out "What else is there?" She knows quite well that, for most Amway IBOs, they don't have a snowball's chance in hell to make any real money in the real business world. All they can do is dream, and play make-believe "business owners" with their cellphones and their pretentious business cards.
The ironic thing is that even a stupid person could make more money than an Amway IBO, just by standing on a busy corner and begging for change every day.
Anonymous - there are a lot of people out there who aren't Amway losers but they're stuck in dead end jobs and maybe don't even make ends meet. But those people are probably honest, hardworking, and looking for ways to make their life better without being arrogant obnoxious assholes like Amway losers.
DeleteThe majority of Amway Ambots have no chance to start up a real business. Whether its because of finances, no smarts, unlikeable, unmotivated or what have you. Amway ambots are basically lazy bastards looking for a fast way to get rich.
Yup all Amway ambots can do is dream and play pretend games that they're big shot business owners with bazillions of dollars rolling in every month.
I'd say a person could work a one hour shift at McDonald's once a month and make more money than an Amway IBO. If that person worked a 3 hour shift they'd make triple the money of an Amway IBO. And they probably didn't have to spend $300 at McDonald's that month in exchange for working there.
