It's obvious that you were never involved with Amway. You're just a guy with a pathetic opinion. Also, you assume that Joe possibly has the highest PV level than anyone else including that person's sponsor. Let me ask you this; how do you even know that person's sponsor's business or my sponsor's business for that matter? My sponsor is at 6000 PV and makes enough at this level to afford have his wife stay home and look after their kids. How good is that? Is that bad? Oh really? Why? You so neglect your family that you don't care whether or not you spend quality time with your wife and kids? You don't care if your kids end up in a day care, are abused, grow in an environment with negative influences and then you wonder why they end up as fucked up teenagers? Is that how you value your family? Que sera, sera? Was that the motto? If yes, no wonder you hate Amway so much. You're so closed minded that you can't appreciate Amway's potential to liberate you and your family from a life of corporate or self-employment bondage. So shut up, you big mouth! More time studying the business? Who? Joe? Joe is your sibling man! He's got the same mentality and lifestyle as you do except that you two make money differently, yet you both work hard but not smart to earn money. Joe hasn't studied the business and neither have you. If you were, the two of you would be in today AND actually turn a profit, not just be the two signed up guys with no activity or poorly run businesses. Brainwashed? I would rather be brainwashed by these Amway conmen and fanatic cult leaders than by your pathetic opinions based on your resentments as a result of quitting and in your case John, of not having ever been involved with Amway (yet you sound so convincing in your arguments that you must be the sweetest darling in the world, albeit with no experience with Amway but an overnight Amway expert!!!)Matthewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-18868756151576636192011-03-05T05:10:52.323-08:002011-03-05T05:10:52.323-08:00Hopefully the will scurry back to their life coach...Hopefully the will scurry back to their life coaches and ask them, "Is it true what those meannie ogre negative nellie amway haters say?

In my profession, I spend much of my energy educating people about their lifestyles; i.e., what you're currently doing will kill you if you don't stop. They all think they know better, despite much less formal education in the matter. IBO's are the same way. It doesn't matter you've researched for years or had years of experience.

They will frequently say "the average ibo MADE $115 per month", which is actually gross, not net. What you gross isn't what you "made".

Many of those will still be money losers, yet they are unquestioned authorities on "building a business". <br /><br />This is all part of two popular cult phenomena: sacred science (by which upline is glorified) and the "we/they" syndrome (by which outsiders are discredited). It is believed without question that the upline pins have access to secrets that have been "proven" to "guarantee success". However, MLM gurus who speak against pyramid schemes, like Robert Fitzpatrick are instantly discredited as communists. I am frequently told that I "have no credibility" since I am not part of Amway, yet the people who tell me that are uneducated, unaccomplished, unable to deal with numbers and abstract ideas, and generally money-losers when it comes to their Amway businesses. To an Ambot, 10 years of diligent research can be debunked in an instant by a glib, ill-informed slogan, such as "there's a 100% success rate in the system and a 0% success rate outside of it".Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214855322600246736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-74804469537331018322011-03-03T16:12:31.235-08:002011-03-03T16:12:31.235-08:00What credibility do you have?
