Our sack of shit Platinum has repeatedly stated that if we follow his instructions, we will achieve great success in Amway. He would then go on to add that there are men in the room who are not successful because they do not follow his instructions.
I would be one of maybe 5 ladies that routinely showed up to Amway meetings, which were held in someone's living room on a regular basis, and I don't consider myself to be a guy in any way. Women aren't going to make it in Amway, since the Platinum is a chauvinist pig who believes that only men should succeed. Not without the assistance of a male leader. There were three single women in the room. Perhaps even more, depending on whether or not some of the occasional IBOs came up for a living room gathering.
The Platinum never provided us with any meaningful information. The only thing he taught me was resentment, which I don't consider to be particularly valuable. His meetings were always the same as they had been in the past. They began at 8 p.m., and he would spend an hour talking about himself and the horrible things that were happening in the news at the time - businesses closing, recession, and other such issues. At the very least, it would take him at least an hour to say something to the effect that this is his profession. The fact that he makes his living through Amway should not be overlooked at this stage, either. A real job, the kind that people like him make fun of - J.O.B. Just Over Broke - is what he does for a living. Instead of taking the more common sense approach of stating that the correct work can alter someone's life, he teases those who are in positions of authority. You fall within this group, asshole. Some of us in the room do not have jobs because we are already in the business of running our own company. Hmmm. Perhaps I should take a second look around the room. On this particular day, there were just two other men in the room who were self-employed. And sure, I am referring to the past tense here. We observed that his store had been taken over by another company about a year after we had left Amway. It's a shame for him. When I was in there, I noticed that his prices were a little on the high side. He received the wrong information from Amway!
So let's get back on track here. The sack of shit goes on and on about himself and all of the awful news stories he's been reading lately. He bores us to death for at least an hour, giving the false impression that we are truly interested in what he has to say to us. Then he brings up Amway for the first time. Due to the fact that it is quite embarrasing to reveal that you are working for Amway, it takes him an hour to get there. He wants to spend the first hour of the meeting getting to know any new prospects in the room, getting them to understand what he's all about, and getting them to believe that he's a really lovely guy. I can tell any newcomers that he's a lying pile of shit, that Jim Jones is his idol, and that if you stick around long enough, he'll brainwash you as well as them. I don't have to go around the corner to get to the end of that one, thank you. Then the flash cards with the Amway business plan on them appear on the screen. Depending on which flash cards he's using and whether or not they're outdated, he'll scream at the ambot who delivered them and tell them he needs to go out and get new ones.... Make an investment in your company! Invest in the tool fraud so that the Diamonds at the top of the pyramid can make more money! Because that's the kind of thing this miserable asshole does, he'd take a black felt pen and write all over the flash cards, effectively destroying someone else's property in order to prove his point. He has no regard for the rights of others or for their property. I'll take it back, you asshole. It is impossible for me to have any respect for a lying sack of shit.
This entire crap session lasts between two and a half and three hours total. Throughout the conversation, the Platinum keeps getting sidetracked and going off on some rant or spending too much time talking about himself. The fucker enjoys the sound of his own voice tremendously!
So, aside from instilling resentment in us, what exactly did he teach us? According to the flash cards he gave us, if we eat one Amway food bar every day and drink one Amway beverage every day, and if we find two other individuals and train them to do the same, we would earn a thousand dollars in commission from Amway each month. We will make $100,000 per year if we can find 6 people who will eat and drink the Amway shit with us. In the event that they locate 6 people, and then 6 people, and so on and so forth, we will be making around a million dollars a year, and those people behind us will be taking our positions in the $100,000 to $500,000 ranges. Everyone will become wealthy!
Yes, you can eat and drink your way to success in Amway!
It is quite difficult to persuade anyone to purchase this trash, no matter how convincingly you lie to them about the health benefits, if you have ever had to drink the XS piss water or eat a horrible awful Amway food bar. The exorbitant cost of these vile-tasting products is a significant barrier to their widespread use.
People can go out and buy a box of oranges or persimmons for ten dollars and reap the benefits of enhanced health, either by eating the fruit as is or by putting it through a juicer to extract the juice. Spend less money and feel better by consuming or drinking a natural product.
As for the people in the room who were following the instructions of the sack of shit Platinum, they weren't making any money at all. The deck of cards is stacked against them. According to Amway's literature, less than one percent of independent business owners will generate money. But no matter how many times the sack of shit tells them that they should follow his instructions and become wealthy, it will never happen. According to the Platinum, the ambots in the room were already victors and successful simply by virtue of their attendance at the meeting itself. That was another of his teachings about how important it is for us to attend each and every one of his sessions or risk incurring his anger.
The ambots in the room rotate every few months or so, but I'm confident that the Platinum's falsehoods haven't changed. He still hasn't figured out how to teach anyone how to be successful in Amway. As a result, the following is suggested:
He is completely incompetent as a teacher.
The folks in the room are incapable of learning anything worthwhile.
It is either impossible for the vast majority of IBOs to be successful in Amway, or it is mathematically impossible.
He would choose the second alternative, but only because he has such an inflated sense of his own worth as well as his own abilities.
When it comes to Amway, I didn't pick up any tips from that cretin!
What Is It That This Deceptive Platinum Is Able to "Teach" Us? Exposing the Lessons That Are Hiding in Plain Sight Behind Deceptive Tactics
When it comes to both one's personal and professional growth, honesty and integrity are two of the most highly regarded and respected qualities. Nevertheless, even if we do not approve of or condone dishonest behavior, it is still possible to gain something from analyzing deceptive strategies and learning from them. During this enlightening investigation, we are going to look into the realm of a made-up figure called the Lying Platinum and discover the life lessons that we may take away from the dishonest deeds that they have taken.
Understanding the Platinum Lies is Covered in Section 1
The character of The Lying Platinum is fictitious, yet he or she exemplifies dishonest strategies and manipulative behavior. Studying their behavior can provide insights about human psychology, interpersonal dynamics, and the consequences of lying, despite the fact that their activities may not be admirable or ethical.
The Fallacy of Power and Influence is Discussed in Section 2
One thing that we may take away from our experience with the Lying Platinum is the realization that lying can produce a fleeting illusion of power and influence. Deceptive people may have a short-term appearance of success and persuasion, but their activities are frequently based on flimsy foundations that eventually give way. This highlights the significance of cultivating long-lasting connections that are authentic, founded on trust and credibility, and can withstand the test of time.
The Anatomy of Manipulation is Covered in Section 3
By dissecting the strategies utilized by the Lying Platinum, we are able to gain a better understanding of the art of manipulation. When we have a greater grasp of how people who are dishonest take advantage of weaknesses, how they use emotional triggers, and how they twist the truth, we are more ready to spot these techniques and protect ourselves from them. With this newfound understanding, we are more equipped to make well-informed judgments and to uphold our own personal boundaries.
Cultivating an Appropriate Level of Reflection and Analysis
The dishonest actions of the Lying Platinum force us to exercise our analytical and deductive reasoning skills in order to deal with the situation. Before we can learn to believe something at face value, we have to learn to question information, scrutinize motives, and look for evidence. This intellectual vigilance helps us navigate a world in which false information and manipulation are becoming increasingly common. As a result, it enables us to make accurate decisions and prevents us from falling prey to deceit.
Empathy and Emotional Intelligence are Covered in Section 5
Even if the Lying Platinum may be lacking in empathy and emotional intelligence, the ways in which they act show us how important it is for us to cultivate these traits in our own lives. We are motivated to nurture empathy and emotional intelligence as crucial tools for the purpose of fostering healthy connections and building real rapport when we become aware of the detrimental effects that lying may have on relationships and the trust that others have in us as a result of experiencing these negative consequences.
Enhancing Ethical Foundations is the focus of Section 6.
The Lying Platinum acts as a jarring illustration of how very important it is to behave in an ethical manner. Their acts shed light on the damaging effects that dishonesty can have on personal relationships, professional reputations, and one's general health and wellbeing. By considering the misleading strategies that they employed, we are able to reinforce our dedication to integrity and ethical behavior, thereby strengthening the moral compass that directs both our choices and our actions.
Learning to Heal and Forgive is the Topic of Section 7
A lie has the potential to cause severe damage and betrayal, which can both leave emotional wounds in its aftermath. However, by looking at the behaviors of the Lying Platinum, we can also investigate the process of forgiving others and moving on with our lives. Even though it may be difficult, we should forgive those who have harmed us because doing so frees us from the weight of resentment and makes it possible for us to go on with increased resilience and compassion.
In conclusion, although it is possible that the behaviors taken by the Lying Platinum are morally reprehensible, there is still value in analyzing dishonest strategies and gaining knowledge from them. By analyzing their actions, we are able to improve our understanding of human psychology, the repercussions of dishonesty, and the significance of maintaining integrity in both our personal and professional life. We may navigate a world filled with lies and create a better sense of self and true connections with others by cultivating critical thinking, empathy, and a dedication to ethical conduct.
