You have to be merciless with your down-line, forcing them to do whatever has to be done to generate PV for you, or to buy the pointless tools, or to attend the stupid "functions." You have to be merciless with your family, forcing them to take a back seat to anything that Amway requires from you in time, energy, or money.<br /><br />You have to cut off those who quit the business, never speaking or interacting with them again. You have to be a shameless hustler, chatting up total strangers in malls or bookstores to show them the "Plan." You have to lie to prospects, telling them that success is assured within 2 to 5 years if they "duplicate" you. You have to lie to them about "residual income," even though Amway itself admits that no such thing exists in the business. You have to lie to them about CommuniKate, telling them that it is absolutely necessary even though you know that it is a completely outdated technology as useless as the horse and buggy.<br /><br />You have to pretend not to hear when anyone raises a legitimate criticism or question about Amway, and you have to scream "Negative thinking!" or "Never question up-line!" You have to demand total obedience from your down-line, as if they were slaves. You have to walk a certain way, talk a certain way, wear a certain kind of clothing, practice a certain variety of religion, and even have a certain type of wife.<br /><br />In short, those who succeed in a BIG way in Amway are vicious, lying, corrupt scum. Remember that scum always rises to the top.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
