Just look at the titles of two of the movement's favorites books: "Think and Grow Rich," and "The Power of Positive Thinking."<br /><br />All of this nonsense is based on delusion, fantasy, superstition, and a belief in magic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-52109079483425993642017-02-25T09:42:44.470-08:002017-02-25T09:42:44.470-08:00Your comments are spot on!Your comments are spot on!Joecoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121920263105613498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-37117756009767268272017-02-24T10:02:58.860-08:002017-02-24T10:02:58.860-08:00From what that man said to you, it's clear tha...From what that man said to you, it's clear that the real business of Amway is not the sale of products, but recruitment of new IBOs.<br /><br />In what sense is that a legitimate "business"? A business provides either goods or services. Customers pay for such good and services, and the business thereby profits.<br /><br />But the entire impetus behind Amway and all MLMs is something totally different and corrupt. It's about selling nothing real, but something insubstantial. MLMs give you enthusiasm, hope, dreams, and a counterfeit self-confidence.<br /><br />Are such things good? Sure, in some respects they are. But they cannot substitute, in the real world, for actual goods and services! You can't legitimately offer someone "a business opportunity that is about a business opportunity," as an Amway idiot described it here once.<br /><br />This is why so many of us in the anti-MLM blogs get violently frustrated with those Amway freaks and MLM partisans who show up to defend their fake "business." Talking to them is like talking to sleepwalkers or hallucinating psychotics. They simply DO NOT SEE that they are depending on their feelings and emotions to be the source of imagined future wealth. How many of them talk about "believing" the great Amway dream?<br /><br />Well, success isn't about hoping or dreaming or believing. Success is about doing something that is profitable! The entire MLM fraud is based on the crackpot notion of "mind over matter" -- i.e. the strange occult idea that you can think and imagine something into existence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
