That's what they do. They think if you are not in Amway, you are doomed for financial ruin when the opposite is true. You are more likely to experience financial ruin by being in Amway. <br /><br />Before Amway I used to work 2 jobs and the income from my second job was invested. Lucky for me I neer touched that money even when I got into Amway. While I lost some money in Amway, I managed to have that "nest egg" growing and I am pretty well off today. <br /><br /> Joecoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121920263105613498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-75661333061266193952017-02-28T16:50:08.904-08:002017-02-28T16:50:08.904-08:00To Anonymous at 2:13 PM --

What inside knowledge do you think you have about our lives?<br /><br />Or do you think we are badly off because your sacred up-line told you that we had to be?<br /><br />I have half a million dollars in savings, apart from my pensions, investments, and bank accounts. I own two homes outright. I haven't even begun to collect Social Security. And this is from a J.O.B. By the way, I've been happily married to the same woman for 27 years.<br /><br />How much would I have if I had stayed in that dipshit vitamin-and-soap-suds racket called Amway?<br /><br />OK, Joe and I have been open and honest with you. Please return the favor. Now tell us how much you have lost so far in Amway.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-39564356319823666602017-02-28T16:29:20.858-08:002017-02-28T16:29:20.858-08:00I have no debt except for a small mortgage balance...I have no debt except for a small mortgage balance. I'm still happily married and looking to retire early because I'll have enough resources to do so.<br /><br />I as a successful IBO based on doing what I was told and achieving the levels and parameters set forth by my upline. But somehow I wasn't making money and my upline said to just keep going and the money will eventually be there. <br /><br />I said the money was supposed to be there at the 4000 PV level and it wasn't.<br /><br />My upline gave me a very unconvincing story about why I wasn't making what I was supposed to. After I left Amway, my focus went to my job and I really began to flourish and got several promotions thereafter.<br /><br />Joecoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121920263105613498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-44052847025294005972017-02-28T14:13:54.058-08:002017-02-28T14:13:54.058-08:00So now that you are out of amway what is you life ...So now that you are out of amway what is you life like?

Thus IBOs think anyone not in Amway is doomed for financial disaster when in fact, being in Amway causes financial disaster.

I'm very glad you mentioned that ...Dear Joe --<br /><br />I'm very glad you mentioned that Rich De Vos has criticized the tendency of too many Amway freaks to call everyone who makes a living at a job "a loser." We shouldn't forget that De Vos has on several occasions expressed deep disapproval of the tone and style of many LOS systems, where stupid comments like "Just Over Broke" and "Jackass of the Boss" are tossed around indiscriminately. <br /><br />The notion that anyone not involved in Amway is "a loser" is patently insane. There are millions of persons world-wide who are wealthy, affluent, or perfectly comfortable financially who have no connection at all with Amway or any other MLM. To call all of these people "losers" is not just wrong -- it's totally irrational!<br /><br />A college professor has "a job," but he makes close to six figures per year. So do many civil-service employees of city, state, and federal governments. A stockbroker or financial advisor who works for a Wall Street firm has "a job," but he can make millions. Middle management types in all sorts of firms pull down a handsome salary. And even plumbers, electricians, computer technicians, building trades contractors, painters, carpenters, and chefs can be very wealthy.<br /><br />So what the hell are these Amway assholes talking about when they say that anyone not in Amway is "a loser"? Or is it just a mantra which, by constant repetition, makes them feel better about themselves?<br /><br />Let's see if any of them show up to answer this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
