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.

Comments are moderated but we publish just about everything. Even brainwashed ambots who show up here to accuse us of not trying hard enough and that we are lazy, quitters, negative, unchristian dreamstealers. Like we haven’t heard that Amspeak abuse from the assholes in our upline!
If your comment didn’t get published it could be one of these reasons:
1. Is it the weekend? We don’t moderate comments on weekends. Maybe not every day during the week either. Patience.
2. Racist/bigoted comments? Take that shit somewhere else.
3. Naming names? Public figures like politicians and actors and people known in Amway are probably OK – the owners, Diamonds with CDs or who speak at functions, people in Amway’s publicity department who write press releases and blogs. Its humiliating for people to admit their association with Amway so respect their privacy if they’re not out there telling everyone about the love of their life.
4. Gossip that serves no purpose. There are other places to dish about what Diamonds are having affairs or guessing why they’re getting divorced. If you absolutely must share that here – don’t name names. I get too many nosy ambots searching for this. Lets not help them find this shit.
5. Posting something creepy anonymously and we can’t track your location because you’re on a mobile device or using hide my ass or some other proxy. I attracted an obsessed fan and one of my blog administrators attracted a cyberstalker. Lets keep it safe for everyone. Anonymous is OK. Creepy anonymous and hiding – go fuck yourselves!
6. Posting something that serves no purpose other than to cause fighting.
7. Posting bullshit Amway propaganda. We might publish that comment to make fun of you. Otherwise take your agenda somewhere else. Not interested.
8. Notice how this blog is written in English? That's our language so keep your comments in English too. If you leave a comment written in another language then we either have to use Google translate to put it into English so everyone can understand what you wrote or we can hit the Delete button. Guess which one is easier for us to do?
9. We suspect you're a troublemaking Amway asshole.
10. Your comment got caught in the spam filter. There's over 1000 spam comments left here each month. We don't check them. We just delete them. If your comment landed in spam - sucks to be you!
