We start up a business to provide income. All business owners want to turn a profit but they need a viable business idea first. Being a commissioned sales rep for a company with a bad reputation that retails overpriced shitty products ain't going to cut it. Amway the Cult of Greed. You won't get rich. You probably won't become a better person because most people don't become a better person when they get scammed out of their money.

Most people who have a conscience and morals can't do it. Or not for long anyway.<br /><br />And agree how does learning to be a liar and scammer make you a better person. How does not making money but being a better or nicer person pay the bills?Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-49088979588907035482018-04-06T11:59:56.499-07:002018-04-06T11:59:56.499-07:00Hey Dave you should hit the nail on the head. Espe...Hey Dave you should hit the nail on the head. Especially when you say those at the top aren't being generous and sharing their money with those beneath them. OK let's leave some well known philanthropists out because we're talking Amway here and those at the very top of the Amway pyramid. We have scads of Ambots leaving comments here bragging how much money Amway makes. That might be good news for the owners of the company. Or bad news seeing as how their sales have been sliding every year. But how does that affect the bragging Ambot? It's like these Ambots are such big dumb fucks they think those at the top are going to share their money with them. NOT! Scammers don't share the money they steal off others. Yeah like that'll ever happen.<br /><br />MLM scams like Amway are not in the business of making anyone rich except those who started the company or got in early enough.Anna Bananahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05373457126465029723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-19555027991193382582018-04-06T11:57:14.852-07:002018-04-06T11:57:14.852-07:00When ex-Ambots say that they lost money in Amway b...When ex-Ambots say that they lost money in Amway but "it made me a better person," this is a dead giveaway in regard to the cultic and quasi-religious character of MLMs.<br /><br />The notion that suffering elevates and ennobles one's character is a religious idea, common to many faiths. In a true religious context, the idea may carry some weight. In any case, it is a metaphysical proposition that cannot be verified.<br /><br />But the proposition is meaningless in a commercial business! Unless, of course, the "business" is a cult-driven one like Amway or some other MLM. There, the claim that "suffering has made me better" is utterly absurd, since the entire purpose of an MLM is to make a participant rich, not improve his moral standing. But it does show that the so-called "business" is actually cult-based.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-29575085458011480262018-04-06T09:13:52.534-07:002018-04-06T09:13:52.534-07:00I agree.

Because the ONLY way to make any kind of money in it is to trick a lot of other people and hope to take some of their money while they are being driven into debt. One has to have no problem with lying in order to keep the suckers strung along for as long as they can.<br /><br />Sometimes I see people come here who have lost money in Amway say "but at least it made me a better person". Since when is learning how to lie and deceive making you a better person?<br /><br />~DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-84604689041670908422018-04-06T09:08:23.472-07:002018-04-06T09:08:23.472-07:00MLM's never talk about actual business, accoun...MLM's never talk about actual business, accounting or consumer strategies. Their meetings and seminars are all about flash and bang "fire 'em up!" brainwashing and propaganda with slideshows and phony wealth stories instead. It is never addressed that unless the majority of sales are to outside consumers they can never make much of a profit, if they ever do at all. When the majority of sales are to either themselves or to other Ambots beneath them on the pyramid it's not a business. Sales advice from upline usually consists of "buy more stuff".<br /><br />Their business model would be like having a grocery market on the street that is so over-priced they get no customers but think they are doing well when they keep buying more and more stock to collect dust on the shelves and back warehouse. Then they try to talk their friends into opening a market of their own where the friends do the same thing hoping to get a few pennies commission from the main supplier for having brought in another sucker.<br /><br />With this plan no one will be "walking the beaches of the world" except for the supplier at the very top, where all the money funnels up to. Just like in the real world, trickle down never works just because those at the top have more money. No one at the top says "gee, we have so much money, let's be generous and share it." The only thing that works is when products are being sold on a wide scale and consumer want drives the market. With Amway products being of mediocre quality at best and grotesquely over priced, that will never happen. Ever. The handful of Ambots who make some kind of money are the ones who found the most suckers to drag in and drain dry. Some business, eh? <br /><br />~DaveAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-5337603951406571282018-04-05T15:22:09.783-07:002018-04-05T15:22:09.783-07:00Hi Joecool.

The owners and their heirs will still be rich but the devastation they bring to peoples lives and their uncaring attitude to destroying lives is what makes them pure shit evil.

They are pretend-businesses.<br /><br />You are right, Anna -- the only thing that makes a business a real business is SALES to customers. If those sales cover expenses and leave you with a profit, your ARE IN BUSINESS, as the idiom says. <br /><br />Amway is not about sales at all, but about recruitment only. The "sales" of all those overpriced generic Amway products are nothing but a cover for endless and continual recruiting. That's the Amway "Plan."<br /><br />Therefore the words "employer" and "employee" really have no meaning in the Amway scheme. Those are words that make sense only in a real business with real customers. There aren't any actual customers in Amway -- just a lot of deluded people (IBOs) filling their garages and basements with boxes of Amway crap that they'll never sell.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2623443549536997676.post-38471929290113799672018-04-04T23:48:37.566-07:002018-04-04T23:48:37.566-07:00Anna,
