Wonder why i allowed my self to be brainwashed by these Network 21 cd's. But now that i look back all i can do is just keep the lesson in mind and move on in life. I have told my upline i am not building this business and i am broke because of this business but he just doesn't wanna listen. I am now gonna be straight to his face tell him off. <br /><br />I wanna give you a thousand thanks for making this blog otherwise i was thinking that i am the only one who got fooled by these people, but i see other people on your pages have had the same experience and are moving on in life bravely and that gives me hope and strength. <br /><br />I have learnt that everything has it's time in life we should learn to go with the flow instead of fighting against it and struggle all the time. Greed is surely a curse.<br />God bless you Anna for sharing your thoughts with us.<br /><br />Regards,<br />VikramAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00439504698121247413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-44934373287230247932013-07-19T16:12:54.577-07:002013-07-19T16:12:54.577-07:00Hey thanks for the review, I understand you opinio...Hey thanks for the review, I understand you opinion but I really think it is all in perception of how you work with the company.

I might be able to dig it up, but I thought I threw all that crap away during the great "amway purge" of 2012 when I quit. Felt like Braveheart screaming "freeeeeedom". It is funny seeing all my FB friends who are still in and thier pics. The captions are great "associating with millionaire mentality" and the pic is of some hotel room and they are at the back. The diamond doesn't even know the persons name.

The...It was fun to watch them dabble with Facebook. The leaders using a separate account for dealings within the LOS, and a separate one for recruiting old friends. Their personal profile is often public so everyone can see them post an inspirational quote, misquote or paraphrase from someone famous, that is completely out of context. They are so smart. They post pictures of other people's fancy cars. Their cover photos are often a beach they have never been to, but could have, with the money they are flushing down the toilet.<br />The business profile, which would have a name like "(team name) diamond", "(team name) direct" or something like that, is completely shut off from public view. What are they hiding?<br />To me, Facebook and Skype would be the ideal tools to encouraging growth in "internet marketing" and "networking". Yet, not a single IBO will flat out say their profession on there.<br /><br />Occupation: Entrepreneur (often misspelled, hate this one) in DDEFFR (or whatever their network in, team name is, etc.)<br /><br />Occupation: IBO (woah! some honesty! must be new!) in WWWWJD<br /><br />Occupation: Dreambuilder (seriously?!) in CCCDDDEEE<br /><br />Never once do they honestly say, "hey I sell the idea that if we all buy soap and vitamins together we all get rich."<br /><br />They also, never, EVER, say their company name, regardless of MLM. <br /><br />But, seriously, why wouldn't they make it EASY to find these things on Facebook? If I was hellbent on joining, wouldn't some guidance, and maybe some inspiration from other IBOs via Facebook be utilizing available tools effectively?<br /><br />No, of course not, upline doesn't profit from it. Also, if I were hellbent on joining, and clicked on someone's profile occupation as 'AMWAY IBO', I would see a list of starry-eyed, misguided people, with nothing to show for their hard work, but pictures of other people's spoils.<br /><br />I can't wait to see the new Facebook-like webpage they, inevitably, will create. They have already created voicemail, smartphone apps, specialized emails, personal webpages. Congratulations, MLMers, you about a tech advanced as 2005, and claim to be the wave of the future in marketing.<br /><br />Or just the same old snake oil, dog and pony show.<br />-Jerry<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-69071986132986687172013-07-16T12:12:39.433-07:002013-07-16T12:12:39.433-07:00When you see a suit at a fast food restaurant it&#...When you see a suit at a fast food restaurant it's probably some businessman who doesn't have time to go anywhere else and he probably likes the food there anyway. When you see a group of suits at a fast food restaurant if they're not Amway ambots they're probably with some other MLM scheme. The problem with YouTube and Skype is that the Amway cult leaders can't make money off it. Makes sense to everyone else to use conference calls and other communication means that you already have included access to on your phone or computer and doesn't cost you anything extra to use but that doesn't make the great Amway gods rich.Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-6675084885754383612013-07-16T03:26:58.364-07:002013-07-16T03:26:58.364-07:00This was 3 months ago.

He told them he's driving 4-5 hours one way to show the plan to a couple for someone in his downline. Then he mentioned someone in his upline doing this and sponsored a diamond or some bigwig. Im listening to this trying not to break out laughing. With todays technology...cant he just show the plan on skype? Or just have it on youtube? What if the prospect slams the door in his face? How lame it is to spend a tuesday night dressed in a suit acting like a bigshot at a fast food restaurant lol.

I met with the lady and had to ask three times to get her to tell me it was Amway. I didn't recognise it but told her I wanted to research it before I even thought of making a decision. She used all the tactics you post and comment about and was a lovely lady but I was suspicious from the moment she asked to talk to me about a "venture" without naming names that it would be this type of bull. <br />5 minutes online and I am already reading about tax evasion, court cases etc.etc. (one they plead guilty to but insisted they were innocent and was a technicality and another they settled for large amount of money but again claimed to be innocent. hmm. right.) <br />Then I happened to come across your blog and you most definitely solidified my bad opinion. luckily I was never tempted to do this and find it absolutely appalling. but I thought I would drop off a thank you for helping me do the best thing and say hell no!<br />Hopefully you can save some others from hell. if they are smart enough to do basic research. <br />A.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
