The last time we ran the post about how Amway Ambots can’t grasp simple business equations, one of our readers had this to say:
I love it! I don't think it's
possible to put it more clearly.
Good luck getting through though.
Didn't you know? Running a business is not about maximising the positive
difference between income and expenses to turn profits.
Being a business owner is all about:
dishing out business cards with fancy words without coherence (and without the
brand that you pay to be able to sell)
being obsessed with calling yourself a business owner 50 times per day. (and
adding the redundant and ironic word “independent” in front of that)
always being busy, running to a business meeting, a conference, or having some
important call on the cellphone.
being obsessed with insulting people who are employed
wearing a suit even when not called for (I think it is nostalgia to 1959, to
honour the founding of their employer)
I've run a business for several years now. I have never felt the urge to insult
people that report to an employer, to pronounce predictions of imminent doom on those who have no interest in doing
what I do, to hire a toll free line just so that I could look more important.
When asked what I do, I talk about the business first, and don't repeat the words“owner”, “own boss” or “independent” 20 times, even though I dare to think I'm all of those things much more than the deranged commission only sales person who thought he could mentor me in the world of business.
Being an "Independent Business Owner" in Amway is very much like being one of those Civil-War reenactors who dress up in old uniforms and march around with sabers and empty muskets, pretending that they are going to the battle of Gettysburg. It's all nothing but fakery and pretense.
ReplyDeleteAmway idiots think that if you have fancy business cards, and CommuniKate voicemail, and a cheap suit, and a cellphone attached to your ear, all this makes you a real businessman. What pathetic simplicity! All you are in Amway is a poorly paid salesman. In fact, you pay Amway for the privilege of selling their stuff. That means you're also a jerk.
Anonymous - yup being an Amway Ambot is all about any make belief game to play. For some reason these Amway losers like to pretend they're big shot business owners when the reality is they're brainwashed Ambots in the Cult of Greed.

Anonymous - it is good news and India has been cracking down on MLM scams like Amway for many years which we don't see happening in other countries.
DeleteChina has forced Amway to sell its products in retail stores open to the general public. No more MLM "down-lines" and "up-lines" and other half-assed structures.
ReplyDeleteThe United Kingdom has cracked down hard on Amway, coming close to banning it totally.
In Spanish-speaking countries and Eastern Europe, word is spreading about the lies and fakery of the Amway racket. Too many people have been burned by it. What we need are some anti-MLM and anti-Amway websites in those languages, so that the internet can begin destroying these plagues with the same effectiveness that we have seen in North America.
Anna Banana and Joe Cool have fucked Amway so hard that it is next to impossible to recruit new IBOs here in North America, except among pathetic losers. We need to spread the word world-wide!
Anonymous - it would be amazing if bloggers in other languages shared their Amway horror stories. For all I know it's out there.
DeleteThere's a reason why Amway cult leaders forbid their downline to be on the Internet and search for Amway. They'll find out quickly that Amway is a scam that brings emotional and financial distress.
