It's a business where you lose money month after month, but still claim that you're "doing great."<br /><br />It reminds me of an old Mutt-and-Jeff cartoon. Mutt says to Jeff, "Why are you so happy?" Jeff replies "Because my business is going so well! I bought a horse for ten dollars, and swapped it for a used car, then traded the used car for a small printing press, and then I sold the printing press for ten dollars!"<br /><br />Mutt answers, "But you didn't make any money on all those deals!"<br /><br />Jeff says "Maybe not, but look at all the business I did!" <br /><br />That's Amway for you. It's straight out of the comic strips.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-9371213009883812882016-08-27T01:50:40.137-07:002016-08-27T01:50:40.137-07:00This is very true.

A friend who recently joined the WWDB told me about it and he said the best thing about this system is that they don't focus on the revenue model and business acumen because it is an unconventional business. No one learns how to do the real business stuff since the system takes care of it for them - but they all call themselves business owners. Empowering but also deceiving and almost delusional.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-63406981291298530392016-08-26T13:58:49.417-07:002016-08-26T13:58:49.417-07:00In short, they don't want you to compare notes...In short, they don't want you to compare notes. If you did, you'd find out from another IBO that you and he were both being ripped off.<br /><br />That's why Amway wants every IBO to be like a snail in a shell, unable to communicate with anyone outside of the shell's walls. You can only communicate with your up-line, and in his case you're not allowed to question him about anything.<br /><br />And they call this the "The American Way"? It's much more like the Communist Way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-45211542394295256542016-08-26T12:39:06.434-07:002016-08-26T12:39:06.434-07:00Yes, the upline don't want you to realize that...Yes, the upline don't want you to realize that you're losing money. For that reason, they tell you no cross lining (speaking to fellow IBOs). Oddly, attending a functions and listening to a diamond other than your own is also cross lining but that's considered okay.Joecoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121920263105613498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-9415653672775588142016-08-26T12:21:30.124-07:002016-08-26T12:21:30.124-07:00The cds, voice messages, tapes, and speeches that ...The cds, voice messages, tapes, and speeches that are part of the Amway "Tools" racket say only one thing: "Rah-rah-let's-go-team!" You pay through the nose to get a pep-talk.<br /><br />Imagine if they sold you a cd that showed you how to keep double-entry book-keeping for your Amway business.<br /><br />But they'll never do that, will they? It would show IBOs how much money they're losing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
