IBO’s are Free Labor

 One of those metal and canvas roofed gazebos that can be purchased at a department shop for $100 was in the backyard of the Platinum's home. Although his may have cost a little extra because it had mosquito netting walls, it was well worth it.One that appeared similar to the one in...

An Expensive Social Club

 Earlier this year, Joecool posted something on his blog to the effect that if you aren't making money in your Amway business but are spending a lot of money on Amway products and tools, it is almost as if you have joined an expensive social club.That sentence, I believe, may be applicable...

Exciting changes!

Dream Night is a Financial Orgy

 Yes, you read that correctly, so go ahead and get a good chuckle about it!Someone approaches the Platinum bucket of shit and inquires as to what Dream Night is. Here's what was said in full:« It's time to get things started in the new year by making financial resolutions for the group....

Creating a budget

 I was taken aback when Ambot informed me that the Platinum sack of shit had requested to see our financial records.He has absolutely no business being involved in something like that,” I said. The fact that he does not work for a bank does not exclude us from seeking a loan.“But if...

Ambot the Social Director

 If it wasn't bad enough that Ambot wanted to be a member of a costly social club, he also decided to take on the role of social director himself.The cooler he purchased from the XS Gear website was filled with Amway drinks and meal bars, which he took to the Amway meetings where he...

Why won’t those cult followers leave us alone?

 I know that after Ambot quit attending Amway meetings, the cult leader sent the word across the organisation that we were not to be associated with anything. And, beyond a doubt, there isn't any doubt about that. Ambot was informed by more than one source that he was blacklisted.That's...

Shipping Costs

No TV watching allowed!

 One of our Emerald distributors utilised a whiteboard and divided the room into four quadrants based on how much television our IBOs were permitted to watch. All new IBOs - or, rather, IBOs with pin levels below 2500 - were housed in the square, where watching television was not permitted.I...

Hounded

 I'd like to believe that the last meeting Ambot attended was the last time he spent a dollar on the Amway organisation.Unfortunately, this was not the case. He had not yet sought professional assistance in his decision to leave the cult.In order to help an upline couple meet their...

Held Hostage

 I had quit going to cult meetings a long time before then. This was revealed to me after the fact by Ambot.On one occasion, during an Amway meeting, the Platinum informed everyone in the room that no one would be allowed to leave until he had a check for the next function.Ambot was...

Happy Thanksgiving!

 In light of the fact that it is Thanksgiving, I figured I could write one post that was not devoted to swearing out my former upline.To follow up on my previous thread about how IBOs are litterbugs who leave their Amway garbage all over hotel and school auditoriums, Tex brought up...

Grand Opening a Bust!

 In order for everyone to know that we were Amway distributors and that they could order products from us, our upline instructed us to host a "grand opening" as soon as possible after starting our Amway firm. This was also a good moment to sign up new Independent Business Owners (IBOs)...

Getting Permission
