Free download of David Bach's "Debt Free for Life" January 5 2011 only

 No, this piece has absolutely nothing to do with our troublesome upline, Amway, or Ambot.

In case anyone is interested in David Bach's books (The Automatic Millionaire, Finish Rich series), January 5 is the day to acquire a free PDF download of his latest book Debt Free for Life, which was released just a few of weeks ago (I believe). Simply visit his website at http://www.finishrich.com/ and enter your name and email address. He will then send you an email with a link to download the book for free. If you want it, you'll have to act quickly. After January 5, you'll have to pay the whole amount! There are no conditions associated. He did this last year as well with his most recent release, which offered a one-day free download, and I was fortunate enough to receive that one.

Despite the fact that I have not read this book, I receive no advantage by directing others to his website. My goal is to assist everyone who follows David Bach's advise, which is far superior financial guidance than you'll get from any member in your Amway organisation.

Of course, the best advise I can give anyone who wants to be debt-free for the rest of their lives is to stay as far away from Amway as possible!

Find People Who Want to Save Money

 In order to save money by purchasing from your own shop, we want you to discover other individuals who are also interested in saving money and train them on how to open their own shops in order for them to save money as well.

At every Amway meeting I attended, I heard that remark - or something similar - repeated numerous times.

The assertion appears to be logical in nature. Shop from the comfort of your own home and save money by purchasing items that you would have purchased otherwise. Yes, that does sound wonderful. It's human nature to desire to save money and receive fantastic bargains when purchasing things on a daily basis.

Unfortunately, our upline pushed Ambot into changing his purchasing habits, causing us to purchase items that we had never purchased before, that I didn't like for, and that we didn't end up using. Instead of saving money, he paid significantly more than he would have spent purchasing comparable things at the grocery shop and medicine store instead. Moreover, we ended up losing money by throwing away a slew of ineffective and unsightly Amway items.

What exactly is the financial benefit of this? We're spending hundreds of dollars a month on Amway things that weren't even on our shopping list before we joined the company. Energy drinks, snack bars, bottled water, and vitamins are just a few of the options available.

I don't consider myself to be a frequent shopper, but I have visited enough drug stores and grocery stores to have a solid sense of what is reasonable in terms of price, quality, and value.

Ambot, on the other hand, does not. In the event that a good deal is discovered, he will likely stock up on the item, but he is generally unaware of the prices of goods and services at the store.

He followed the (poor) advise of his upline, who claimed that Amway's products would save us money and that these items were of higher quality than what could be purchased at local merchants, and that he should purchase, buy, and more purchase! He has to be the best customer he can be for himself. His consumer base consisted of five people, including himself and a couple of occasional pity purchasers.

Because of the upline's influence over Ambot, who happens to be his own greatest customer, I was forced to use inferior items that did not save us any money at all.

The true harm that comes from the "save money" by shopping at your own store mindset is that independent business owners (IBOs) like Ambot do not compare prices with other merchants and wind up overspending by purchasing items that they otherwise would not have purchased.

When it comes to shopping, I know how to save money. It is via having a thorough understanding of the prices of groceries and sundries that I often purchase at grocery and drug stores, as well as recognising when something is on sale at a reasonable enough price to purchase it. Then I keep an eye on the circulars, and if I notice something on sale that I often purchase, I stock up immediately. Similarly, if I find anything in the flier that is a wonderful deal but is not something I require, I will not purchase it. See? Trying to save money?

Since we no longer have to purchase pricey Amway items, I have saved a significant amount of money.

Duplicate Your Upline!

 “Make a copy of your upline.”

To put it another way, the upline speakers claim that this is the secret to their own success in the Amway business.

Everyone has to start somewhere, and I don't mean to be disrespectful or disparaging of anyone's employment, but my upline expects me to replicate them by closing our firm and taking a position working for someone else as a salesperson or painter? We put in long hours at our regular jobs for many years before making the leap and starting our own business in earnest. It is expected of me that I will move backwards from a six-figure self-employed income to low wage jobs? It doesn't appeal to me at all. Perhaps, if we had continued in Amway for a long enough period of time and lost everything, including our savings, our business and home and ended up deeply in debt, I would have had to rethink taking that cashier job at the dollar store.

Perhaps driving around in a junker of a car that is constantly breaking down will allow me to replicate my upline. No, I don't believe that is the case. I've always saved up my money and then purchased new or newer model vehicles with cash, ensuring that they were well maintained. This has been my practise for the past 20 years. When I was younger, I used to drive older automobiles that were prone to flat tyres or experiencing some form of motor trouble at any given time. Then I realised what I needed to do and began dating mechanics. Then I became more astute and began saving money in order to purchase more dependable automobiles. I'm also not interested in going backwards on this one.

What do you think of dressing in business attire for 8pm Amway meetings in someone's living room? Not my thing at all. In the event that I allow someone into my home, I expect them to dress in a manner that makes them feel comfortable. If I'm meeting someone at a coffee shop, I'll do the same thing. You can wear whatever you want; I'm not bothered by it. I worked in the corporate world for 20 years, always in business clothes. Now that I'm self-employed, no one has the authority to tell me what to dress. If I choose to dress casually in shorts, capris, or jeans with a hat on my head, that's exactly what I'll do.

Gee One of the myths we were told was that we would be able to own our own business if we joined Amway. As a company owner, I have complete control over what I wear. In "my" Amway business, I have some upline jerk who expects me to dress in a professional suit every day. My blazers and skirts were given to a charitable organisation a long time ago. You shouldn't expect me to go out and get more right away.

What do you think of replicating our upline and lying to others about what this "global business opportunity" is truly all about? What about duplicating our upline and offending those who work in a traditional job? No way, I'm not going to do it.

At business meetings, I used to watch the hardcore ambots duplicating their upline's information. During my visit, I observed a young lady seated next to the woman who supported her, who I believe was earning roughly 2500 PV per month. It is the sponsor, not the new IBO, who is in charge. It was a chilly evening in the theatre, and they were both seated with their legs raised on the chairs in front of them. That is something that some people do. At the movies, to be precise. This young IBO was always dressed elegantly and with flawless makeup, and she didn't appear to be the sort to be flinging her legs all over the place so that everyone passing by could see her underpants, but there they were, sitting side by side in an unladylike manner. Hmmm. I'm almost sorry that I didn't come up with that one myself! I'd stand there and watch the new IBO clap at the same moment as her sponsor. When the sponsor takes the initiative, raise your hands and applaud. To put it simply, she adhered to her like glue and replicated whatever she did. This woman had the whole "duplicate your upline" thing down to a science!

No, that's not who I am. I'm not allowed to duplicate anyone in my upline's business model. That's not my personal style.

My natural tendency was to do the polar opposite of what anyone in my upline was doing, and this was nothing new to me. If the audience rose to their feet and applauded and cheered for the speaker, I remained seated. In the event that they went around the room welcoming everyone, I stayed in my chair and picked out a trashy novel that I carried in my purse just for occasions like this one. If they were drinking Perfect Water or XS energy drinks, I'd be swigging a Coke to keep up with them. If they ate meal replacement bars or protein bars, I made a big deal out of eating a package of M&Ms in front of everyone. At the end of the meeting, if anyone lingered to talk, I was the first one out the door, making a beeline for my car.

I can't recall ever doing anything to try to emulate our upline. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for that gang of imitators. The vast majority of them left Amway after we did.

Follow in the footsteps of the pioneers.

Driving all over Town and Outlying Areas

 During the first round of Amway and WWDB, our upline Platinum was a jerk and a jerk. I didn't care for her in the least. Once a week, we'd have to drive approximately ten or fifteen minutes to her house, where we'd pick up our orders (both for supplies and tools) and then drop them off. This was back in the early 2000s or early 2001. She was generally able to keep her wits about her. At the very least, the cunning heiress was well-prepared. Despite the fact that she is not structured enough to prevent herself from losing her Platinum certification, she has remained in Amway for many years.

Orders for Amway and WWDB were placed on the internet and delivered to our home in Round 2 of the competition. During Amway meetings, our piece of shit Platinum would rage at us, telling us that we were fortunate. When he first started out in Amway, he had to drive a couple of towns away to pick up his Amway order from his upline, and then he had to spend hours delivering it all over the area. Now he works from home. He claimed that once his car broke down, he was forced to take the bus - with, no doubt, the assistance of a few others - to transport all of the boxes. This led to an endless barrage of ramblings on the harrowing ordeal that had brought him to this point in Amway's corporate hierarchy. Let's see what happens. Was he under the misapprehension that I was genuinely interested in him?

Purchasing tools - CDs and books - was a weekly occurrence, with the more the merrier being the rule of thumb. I have no idea how they ended up in the hands of the Platinum sack of shit. It was late at night when the upline Eagle picked them up from Platinum's place, and we met him at Dunkin Donuts around 10pm or 10:30pm to pick up our order, which I don't remember. The doughnut shop was approximately midway between our house and the Platinum's house, a drive of approximately 10 minutes or so. This area served as a gathering point for the Eagle's downline, who came to pick up their tools because most of them lived within a 15-minute drive of the spot, and the Eagle lived out in the middle of nowhere.

This continued on for maybe a month or so before coming to an end. After that, the Platinum became aware of it. The fucking asshole went completely insane! After screaming and shrieking, he continued as if someone had just committed murder in front of him! It was just incredible!

The Eagle was instructed to stop meeting with his downline at Dunkin Donuts by the Platinum. Who knows why this is happening? Perhaps the fucker owned stock in Krispy Kreme? He instructed that all tools be picked up at the Eagle's house, which was around an hour's journey each way.

I was enraged to the extreme. But then, whenever that interfering sack of shit gets his a$$ into anyone's business, I become a little irritated with him. I told Ambot that what he was doing was really stupid. About a twenty-minute drive away from our place is the Platinum piece of shit and his family. The fucking Eagle is approximately an hour's drive from here. The Platinum's house is closer, and it would be more convenient for us to go there and get those crappy tools that I didn't want in the first place. As a result, I was certain that Ambot would put one of those damned CDs into the car's audio and crank up the level to the point where it would seem like we were listening to one of those fire and brimstone sermons from a tent church for the entire drive back. When you factor in the fact that the Eagle didn't get home until at least 10:30 p.m. - and it's crucial to note that he still lived with his mother and father, despite the fact that he's in his mid-twenties — the situation becomes even more dire. And so it is late at night, and we are travelling all over the countryside for a couple of hours, when I would rather be getting ready for bed. We have customers to deal with first thing in the morning. What the fuck is Ambot up to these days? I informed him that he might cancel any additional tool orders. If we all banded together and cancelled tool orders while also refusing to go to the Eagle's house to pick them up, it's possible that we'd "get permission" to pick them up at a central location once again. As if I had any hope that the other members of my downline would do anything to defy the Platinum.

Ambot had to be the CORE and feed into the tool scam in order for his upline to become wealthy. The only way to get $10 worth of CDs every week was for him to drive out of town at all hours of the night. The cost of gas for a round-trip travel was almost that amount. Not to mention the fact that we have limited time. So why didn't he just wait another day and pick up the dang tools at the following night's Amway meeting, like he should have? After a few weeks, Ambot had had enough of the late-night drives, and the next time he saw the Eagle, he took the opportunity to collect up his CDs and books from him. They had to be a little subtle about it, however. You know, like burying them beneath their shirts!

And what exactly is the objective of this whole exercise? In order to instil discipline in us. What? Maybe we're in the military forces, and that's why we need to maintain discipline? We grew into responsible people who understood the importance of discipline. Because we work for Amway, why the fuck do we have to be learning about discipline all the time?

Oh, I almost forgot. We're in a cult, which explains why we have to be disciplined. Brainwashing the IBOs and ordering them around to make sure they're good little cult followers is the goal at this point. The most important thing is to show loyalty and allegiance to the cult leader at all times.

I mean, as if I needed another reason to despise the Platinum Plating. I'm sending a huge old fuck you out to that sack of shit for the second time.

Demographic groups that Ambot was taught to target

 A majority of the meetings that I attended were held in which the Platinum sack of sh*t directed the IBOs to target people under the age of 35. He believes that's where the best opportunities are located. Those were the people who made things happen. These are the individuals who will achieve great success in the Amway business. He also stated that this was the age group that was the least likely to have heard of the Amway brand. He pointed out that those over the age of 35 were more likely to have negative thoughts about Amway because they or someone they knew had tried and failed to make a living from the business.

Is it true that you're under 35? Is it possible that Ambot had his ears plugged? We had passed the point of being a moving and rocking demographic. Our window of opportunity had passed. According to the Platinum - and everything he said was accepted as gospel truth by Ambot as being unassailable - it was already too late for us. When I heard the lecture in the Amway meetings that said, "Don't prospect anyone above the age of 35," all I could think was, "What were we doing wasting our time and money?"

This intriguing presentation of the Amway business opportunity by a charismatic cult leader is intended for kids who have recently graduated from high school, new immigrants, the unemployed, the disabled, and stay-at-home parents, among others. It is also appealing to folks who are trying to broaden their network of acquaintances. Attending Amway meetings is similar to being a member of a high-priced social club.

The difficulty with the majority of the people in the aforementioned groups is that they typically do not have the financial means to invest in Amway products. Somehow, they might be able to scrape together the $150 membership fee that will entitle them to membership in the social club and the opportunity to attend Amway meetings several times a week. They may be able to come up with the money or use a credit card to invest hundreds or thousands of dollars in the Amway fraud in some cases. They work long hours attending meetings and attempting to acquire new clients, and they only make a small amount of money if they are lucky enough to make any money at all.

We didn't actually know anyone in any of the organisations indicated above, except for a few acquaintances. A neighbour in her 50s had been hurt at work and was out on disability, and she admitted that money was difficult for her family. Immediately, Ambot swarmed over her, convincing her that Amway was the solution to her financial woes. Fortunately, she didn't take him at his word. Then Ambot would "consult with upline" about her and obtain "lines" that he could use to override her reservations. Whenever Ambot realised that she wasn't paying attention to his tirade about starting her own Amway business, he would become enraged, quoting a bunch of bullshit from his upline to the effect that there was nothing else out there for her and that she was missing out on a fantastic business opportunity that would provide her with residual income for the rest of her life and she would never have to be concerned about money again.

I was uneasy with the idea of being a part of a company that preys on the vulnerable. My morals would never allow me to bully or coerce somebody into attending an Amway meeting or purchasing costly merchandise.

IBOs are provided with a demographic list of people to target for prospecting. They prey on everyone, not just the underprivileged, but that group appears to be the easiest to prey on because of their low social status. People who are in financial difficulty and could benefit from financial assistance and/or the assistance of friends are the most vulnerable target.

There is such a sense of satisfaction that Ambot and I did not track down these individuals and cause them even more distress in their life.

Best Friends ForNeverMore!

 For Ambot, Amway was like to an expensive social club membership. He had a positive attitude about the majority of those individuals. He must have been particularly taken with their assurances that they would always be his friends.

I wasn't acquainted with any of these Amway representatives prior to Ambot's interest in joining. I was familiar with the sponsor because Ambot has known him for a long time. He's a jerk with a cocky attitude who is untrustworthy. Those are some of his more admirable characteristics. From then, things only get worse. He hasn't been a favourite of mine for a long time. He's always up to no good and doing something to make me angry. Usually, this is accomplished by borrowing something from Ambot and failing to return it. He failed to appear when he stated that he would. He's not picking up the phone. I could go into detail about specific events that have occurred over the years, but I don't want this piece to become something that takes hours to read. Allow me to state categorically that I believe everyone who reads this blog has long since realised that I despise the bastard.

Prior to the Amway abyss, I didn't know anyone else in the world. The most of them were not folks I would normally associate with. Males at least 20 years younger than me make up the majority of the group.

When the upline issues a command to the downline that no one is to have anything more to do with us because we have left Amway, it isn't a huge deal for me because I don't want them to be friends with me. We're a disgusting bunch of folks. We have been defeated. We are, to put it another way, broke losers. etc., etc., etc.

Ambot had expressed regret for not being able to return as a fly on the wall to listen in on one of the Platinum's rants after we left the Amway facility. But it's not a big issue. While we were still in there, I overheard plenty of that sack of shit's rants.

I believe Ambot was harmed by the breakup of their friendship. And he truly did believe their lies that they were going to be his friends forever. He failed to recognise that when individuals are motivated by greed and you cut off their source of income by no longer purchasing pricey Amway products and tools, they would turn around and cut off their relationship as well as their money supply. Fortunately, these friendships were short-lived and ended quickly. The damage had already been done by those upline idiots, but we were able to get out before anything was irreparably damaged.

Authentic friends aren't interested in you solely for the sake of your financial gain, in my opinion. True friends do not turn their backs on you when you cease providing them with financial assistance. Ambot has finally grasped the situation. These fictitious pals may have soothed his ego for a few months, but they vanished as quickly as they emerged when he decided not to continue to fund their goals.

It turned out that there was a fellow in our LOS who we bumped into a few months later at a gas station completely by chance, and Ambot stopped to speak with him. He was courteous and engaged in light conversation while filling the tank, however he did state, "I'm not really supposed to be talking to you." So that's how we know the Platinum was able to spread the word about us and our poisonous nature.

In that aspect, the Platinum did us a minor service by informing everyone else that we were not to be associated with. Unless, of course, that conceited jerk who financed us is still lurking around somewhere. Every now and then, I report to Ambot that he is defying the Platinum's commands by conversing with him. Ambot ignores my complaints. Ambot tries to persuade me that it doesn't matter because none of us are still affiliated with Amway.

What a travesty of justice!

Artistry Cosmetics Google Searches

 I receive a lot of hits from Google searches for “Artistry cosmetics” or “Artistry cosmetics Euromonitor,” which are both terms that I use. Some searches are undoubtedly IBOs or future customers looking for product information when they come across my page about Artistry and discover that it is not what they were looking for.

I made the decision to investigate more. When I type in "Artistry cosmetics" into Google, my blog comes up as the 12th result. If I include Euromonitor in the search criteria, the result is #5. In front of my blog, the most popular pages are Amway propaganda pages about Artistry and a couple of independent business owners asking for clients. Or at least that's my best estimate. I didn't actually go to any of the websites and click on any of the links. I'll delegate that to IBOFB and report back if I'm incorrect, just in case he thinks I'm interested!

I made the decision to test Google in a few more nations, focusing on those where I could communicate in the language: Canada, the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Spain. Similar search results with Euromonitor about #4 or #5, however when typing just "Artistry cosmetics," the other nations are #8 and appear on the first page of Google's results for "Artistry cosmetics."

After all of this, I'm confident that IBOFB will double-check those nations' Google search engines and report back that my page has dropped to #15 or whatever and that he only checked a few strange countries like Siberia and Iraq, and that my piece about Artistry isn't even on the radar screen.

As previously stated, I believe some of my visitors are IBOs looking for product information who then leave when they discover my site is not what they were looking for. However, many visitors stay for a long to read my other postings, which I consider a positive sign. That tells me that IBOs or their dissatisfied spouses are doing the same thing I did: looking for research to determine whether or not the speakers on stage were lying when they said that Artistry is one of the top 5 cosmetics firms in the world, as I did.

If you read my earlier blog post about Artistry and the comments that followed, you will notice that IBOFB appears and states that, according to Euromonitor, Artistry is one of the top 5 premium cosmetics brands in the world. Well, I'd never heard of Euromonitor before that, and I'm sure that's true for many other folks on this side of the pond. In fact, I assumed it was a magazine at first, but it turned out to be a market research company. Possibly, Amway should have contracted with a market research organisation based in the United States whose name would be recognised to those living on this continent.

I've never heard a Platinum, Emerald, or Diamond speaker declare that Artistry is one of the top 5 "prestige" cosmetics available on the market. They constantly maintained that Artistry was one of the top five best-selling or best-performing products in the world.

After IBOFB provided us with a few good laughs by stating that Artistry is one of the top five prestige cosmetics firms, the conversation moved on to what women seek for when purchasing cosmetic products. When it comes to purchasing makeup, hardly one gives a thought to "prestige." Price, selection, and quality are the three most significant considerations. That is how ladies go about choosing their makeup. We appreciate receiving good value for our money.

The bottom truth is that it makes no difference to me where I wind up on the Google search engine results page. However, I am curious as to how Amway feels about my blog being just behind the top hits about Artistry propaganda in terms of being a healing tool for me to vent about our sponsor and upline as well as the financial and mental misery that comes with being associated in a cult. A large number of people looking for information click on my link and see the following:

a. Avon is my preferred brand.

b. The cost of artistic creation is prohibitively expensive.

• The Forbes list of the top ten most popular cosmetics in the world

d. a collection of amusing remarks on high-end cosmetics

Even if readers are not completely brainwashed, this will provide them with something to think about. Namely they discover the speakers from the stage lied to them.

Consumers all over the world have shown a tremendous amount of interest in the premium line of skincare and cosmetics items sold under the Artistry Cosmetics brand name. Google is the first place that many people go when they want to learn more about Artistry Cosmetics goods, how well they work, and the company that makes them. This is true of any well-known brand.

One of the most prevalent searches on Google pertaining to Artistry Cosmetics is "Artistry Cosmetics reviews." This search has the potential to reveal insightful information regarding the efficiency of Artistry's products as well as the experiences of individuals who have utilized them.

Consumers can make educated decisions about whether or not the items sold by Artistry Cosmetics meet their requirements for skincare and makeup by conducting research and reading reviews written by other customers.

XS Gear

 After becoming obsessed with everything Amway, Ambot visited the XS Gear website, where he was certainly urged to do so by his upline, and made a few purchases. Ambot had never consumed energy drinks prior to becoming associated with Amway, but during the Amway dark ages, he acquired boxes of XS energy drinks on a weekly basis and consumed them with an alarming amount of urgency. It was only logical that he would want to spread the word about the product that his upline had convinced him would pave his way to financial success.

He bought what could be described as a nylon webbed cycling gear - a shirt and shorts - to wear while riding. He also acquired an XS cooler, which he intends to use to hold all of his XS energy drinks and to transport them to all of his Amway meetings.

Because the shirt and shorts were delivered in a lower size than Ambot had purchased, they were charged to his credit card, resulting in them having his money in their possession. As a result, there were numerous phone calls back and forth between Ambot and XS Gear. After teasing Ambot for several weeks, XS Gear finally acknowledges that they don't have his size in stock and that they will not be ordering any more because the product has been discontinued. After all, IBOs are so busy attending meetings and gatherings, dealing with multiple phone calls and messages from upline, displaying the plan, and dealing with all of the other time-consuming nonsense that goes on inside "the business," who has time to go for a spin on their bicycle?

Ambot attempted to return the garments, but XS Gear refused to accept them back as a return. Remember how they kept him waiting for a long time by playing telephone tag with him and checking the stockroom for alternative sizes? Items can be returned for a refund if they are returned within 30 days of purchasing them. The time limit had passed without being met.

Let's see what happens. Whose fault was it that the payment card was charged and then that the incorrect size was shipped?

What is their recommendation to Ambot? "Continue to use the product, and you'll eventually be able to fit into the clothes."

The fact that they shipped the wrong size in the first place, rather than going upfront and confessing to Ambot that they were unable to fill the order, shows what a bunch of fucking fools they are. It's no surprise that Amway has partnered with them. A partner store on hand that shares similar philosophies in fucking over IBO's is always a good thing to have around.

I'm not sure what happened to those clothing, to be completely honest. I haven't come across them yet. Possibly, Ambot threw them away or placed them with the other clothing items we send to charity on a whim. Perhaps they've been relegated to the back of the closet and I'll come upon them again one day. He never wore them in the first place.

What about the XS cooler, you ask? We didn't actually need another cooler in the first place. We already have two or three. Ambot most likely purchased it only for the purpose of impressing his upline and crossline with how devoted he is to his business. Ambot loaned it to a member of his upline, and they took it away from him. Thank God, he will never come into our home again!

That's one of the best things about closing our Amway business - no longer having to deal with lowlife dishonest, greed-driven Amway independent business owners.

Amway Warriors

 During some of the major functions I attended, the speakers from the podium frequently referred to the husband as a warrior. The man considers himself to be a warrior, fighting for the financial well-being of his family. As for the wife, good little Barbie Ambot, she would gaze adoringly at her husband and utter the words, "My warrior."

Even for a paperback romance novel, this is too disgusting to read!

Amway warriors, to be precise. I'm heading off to fight a war. Of course, the most difficult struggle is recruiting new Independent Business Owners (IBOs) and getting others to purchase pricey Amway items.

Upon returning home from the function, Ambot would be so enthused that he would frequently send me text messages with the greeting "love, your warrior."

I consider myself a pacifist. My blog is not the place to engage in a political debate about any of the wars or civil unrest currently taking place around the world, but suffice it to say that pacifists oppose fighting and war, and as a result, the term warrior is not a popular choice to persuade any pacifists to change their minds.

A stadium with 10,000 people, or however many people the stadium can accommodate, couldn't possible have just one pacifist, could it?

Warriors! It sounds like a game that children might like.

Perhaps someone else might provide further explanation into why Amway Diamonds refers to themselves as warriors. It's time to go to war. Taking on those who are opposed to the Amway deception is a losing struggle.

I came found a blog post published by a blogger who goes by the name of the 8pm Warrior, in which he explores if multi-level marketing is a suitable prospect for 8pm warriors. I thought it was interesting. http://8pmwarrior.com/2011/01/is-multi-level-marketing-mlm-a-good-opportunity-for-8pm-warriors/

First and foremost, I want to express my admiration for the moniker "8pm Warrior." That is especially true for Amway Ambots who are marching off to their cult meetings at 8 p.m. This writer is not an Amway Independent Business Owner (IBO), but when I first heard of him, I assumed he could be, which is why I went to his website and looked around.

This specific post received a few responses, including some from a “James,” who admitted to being involved in Quixtar/Amway for more than a decade. He responds in a pretty extensive manner, outlining his position as an independent business owner. There was a lot of usual Amway jargon. For all due respect to the gentleman, his comments are well-written and well-considered, but I have no doubt that he has copied and pasted from similar statements that he has plastered all over the Internet. Joecool had a blog visitor named James who left similar comments and reactions to his writings a few months ago, but it was months ago. I can't shake the feeling that it's the same person because he wants people to contact him in order to further discuss the Amway business opportunity with him. Likewise, a poster by the name of James who posted on Joecool's posts felt the same way. Nothing about this really matters except that Joecool's "James" hasn't been heard from in a long time, and I was wondering if this was him making a comeback.

Please wait a few of days before returning to the 8pm Warriors blog to see if Tex has shown up to correct James's erroneous remarks.

Amway warriors, perhaps? Little boys, it's time to go to bed.

The National Basketball Association (NBA) and Amway have collaborated to create the Amway Warriors program. Amway, which is one of the largest direct-selling corporations in the world, is behind the initiative. Through basketball, education, and the cultivation of leadership skills, the program intends to motivate and encourage young people while also giving them more agency.

Basketball is used as a vehicle to teach young people essential life values like as teamwork, discipline, and tenacity as part of the Amway Warriors program, which focuses on encouraging young people to lead more physically active and healthier lifestyles. A secondary objective of the program is to make available chances for educational and leadership development, with the goal of assisting young people in developing their self-assurance and capabilities both on and off the court.

Amway Warriors is a program that gives young people access to professional basketball training as well as world-class facilities to play the game. These young people also receive guidance and instruction from NBA players and coaches. Workshops, seminars, and other types of activities are some of the educational and leadership development opportunities that can be taken advantage of through the program.

The Amway Warriors program is dedicated to a number of philanthropic endeavors beyond the realms of basketball and leadership development. These include the advancement of social and environmental problems. The program collaborates with local communities and groups to offer support for various initiatives, including those relating to social justice, environmental protection, and sustainability.

Young people all across the world have benefited from the Amway Warriors program's ability to motivate and encourage them to achieve their full potential. This initiative has helped to generate chances for young people to develop their abilities, explore their passions, and make meaningful contributions to the communities in which they live through its relationships with the National Basketball Association (NBA) and local organizations.

In conclusion, the Amway Warriors program is a compelling illustration of the beneficial impact that businesses such as Amway can have on communities located all over the world. The program has encouraged and enabled a large number of young people to achieve their aspirations and make a good influence on the world around them by using basketball as a tool for education and leadership development. The Amway Warriors program is contributing to the development of a new generation of young people who are well-equipped to meet the challenges of the future with self-assurance and resolve by emphasizing the importance of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance in its curriculum.

Amway Neighbor

 The following is what Ambot was looking at when I caught him on my computer. He thought that was quite amusing. I really like how it all came together!

666

 "666"

If that is the case, is it any coincidence that World Wide Dream Builders incorporates those figures into their business plan?

It may be a stretch for me to say this because I have no evidence to the contrary, but I believe it is reasonable that WWDB would be required to have their business plan concept approved by someone at the Amway corporate office before releasing it to the IBOs. Assuming my guesses are correct, Amway is in agreement that the WWDB 666 business plan is reasonable and acceptable for implementation.

The only requirement is that you consume one Amway meal bar and one Amway beverage per day. Then you find six people who do the same thing as you do, and you eat and drink one of their meals every day. And then they come across six people.”

It seemed like I heard that 666 philosophy at least once a week when attending business plans.

This is the mark of the beast. Our supporter. Amway, WWDB, and our Platinum.

They are all abominations. Choose whichever option appeals to you.

Is it a happy accident or a meticulously planned operation?

Why Your Significant Other Can’t Stand Your Upline

 I had planned to discuss some of the reasons why significant others find it difficult to tolerate their upline and ultimately Amway based on my own personal experiences, but I've come across far too many similar stories on the Internet. I am not an outlier!

1. The sponsor is a complete jerk! It is someone that Ambot has known for many years: our sponsor, also known as Captain Fuck Up or the arrogant prick. He is the most useless piece of shit I've ever met in all of my years of living. His other finer points include being unreliable, irresponsible, throwing temper tantrums, and being asshole-ugly as a result of his arrogance. Then it's all downhill from there! If the sponsor is someone with whom the significant other has no relationship, it is extremely unwise to allow this fucker to sign you up for Amway. Any issues you already have with this jerk ass will only get worse. Making a commitment to anything - whether it's Amway or something else - with someone who your significant other doesn't want anything to do with is a bad idea. The resentment only intensifies.

2. There is a monetary loss. We had already tried our hand at the Amway scheme. I was well aware of what was about to take place. A lot of money would be wasted on products that I don't care for and won't use if we spent our money on them. We'd spend even more money on various instruments to "develop your business" and on all of the other expenses that come with travelling to out-of-state activities several times a year, to name a few examples. Ambot would either run out of money or become disenchanted again if I was lucky, and our losses would be limited to a few thousand dollars at the most. According to my calculations, you should allocate at least $700 per month for Amway-related expenses. The question is, how many people have that kind of spare cash floating around? If this is not the case, refer to number 3.

3. Getting into financial trouble. As in Ambot's case, this could be a result of credit card debt. Other people take out second mortgages on their homes or take out lines of credit to supplement their income. Whatever way you look at it, independent business owners (IBOs) are borrowing money to fund the ambitions of their uplines, and many former IBOs have lost their homes and declared bankruptcy because they were unable to repay the money they borrowed for Amway.

4. There is a loss of time. Do not be fooled by the commonly touted 10 to 15 hours per week – your spouse will waste far more time than that. They have to prospect every person they come across, telling them about this crazy home-based opportunity where they can make $70,000 per year in their spare time and begging them to come to a board plan meeting, all the while denying that it has anything to do with Amway or the Amway Corporation. Countless hours spent on the phone and sending text messages to my upline. Every week, two or three board plans are held at various downlines and crosslines, or a larger event where a Diamond comes to town once or twice a month may be held at the same location. For these meetings, a lowball estimate of 5 hours per night is given. Weekend rallies are held approximately once a month, during which a Diamond travels to the city and new pins are awarded. It all depends on whether it's a one-day or two-day event. Assume a minimum of 10 hours, however this might be increased to twice the time. Every year, events such as Family Reunion, Free Enterprise Days, and Spring Leadership seem to be conducted hundreds of kilometres away from home. Several hours of driving each way, followed by at least 30 hours of commitments for weekend activities. Moreover, this is a cautious estimate. Because of all of the time spent on Amway-related events, the IBO is unable to participate in birthday parties, weddings, spending time with family and friends, outings, vacations, shopping, and other activities. How many disgruntled couples have had to spend their birthdays alone at home because their significant other had to dash off to an Amway meeting? Not to mention the fact that she receives no assistance with domestic tasks.

5. I'm not a fan of the upline. This is strongly related to the general disapproval of the sponsor and the people with whom they identify themselves. It may take some time for a spouse to develop a dislike for their upline, at least until it becomes clear that the upline is taking up all of their time. In addition to money. However, most of the time, the Amway disinterested spouse simply becomes enraged by all of the garbage that comes out of the lips of the upline and then refuses to have anything to do with them.

6. The practise of brainwashing. This is a component of the upline's effort to keep the new IBO away from "negative" forces in their life, which may include spouses who are not interested in the Amway business opportunity. That's because the Amway cult's leaders are some of the most negative people you'll ever meet, spreading their prophecies of doom and gloom, and unhappiness, and the only way out of this dreadful existence is to join the cult. Despite the fact that some IBOs claim they are not in a sponsorship line that abuses IBOs or employs cult-like brainwashing techniques, I was in a sponsorship line that did. When your husband stops thinking for himself and simply repeats everything the upline says, you will know that something is wrong. The spouse believes whatever his or her upline says to be true until he or she is conditioned to believe that there is no way in hell that the information could possibly be incorrect. He denies what is happening to him and his life, and he does it by distancing himself from the rest of the world.

7. The use of deception. Whatever you choose to call it, all IBO's are guilty of deceiving others. They exaggerate their relationship with Amway, their level of success, and any potential abuses that may be occurring in their organisation. The primary deception is the tool fraud, as well as the greedy upline leaders' obsession with making money at the expense of their downline members' time and effort. When it came to prospecting, Ambot wasn't very good because he'd break down quickly and tell prospects that this was Amway, and then he'd lie and say that everything was going extremely well. All independent business owners (IBOs) are trained to say this, despite the fact that none of them is making money from their Amway business. The insistence on the spouse not being truthful when you know for a fact that they are not making any money through the Amway scheme is extremely irritating.

When you add them all together, you can see why the spouse can't stand the upline and/or Amway, and why this generates problems in a couple. IBOs that have been brainwashed will repeat the words of their upline, claiming, "That's because there is already something wrong with their marriage/relationship." When a spouse expresses disinterest in anything to do with Amway, this is the traditional response.

But not one of those fucking IBO’s can explain why there were no existing marital problems before Amway entered the picture.

What’s in your garage?

 I noticed a post on Amthrax about a large number of Xango boxes stacked in a garage and thought it was interesting. Despite the fact that there was no place to park a car in there, the gentleman managed to jam his motorcycle in there - a fast glimpse of it while the camera wanders around the garage.

A number of folks in my neighbourhood have their garages completely stuffed with storage items, leaving little room for a car to be parked in there. It's completely insane. Unless you are only there for a short period of time, downsize! The majority of people will tell you that a garage has only one purpose: to provide a space to put your car. This is not a storage facility.

We had a standard-sized house with a two-car garage for our Platinum. His automobiles were in the driveway, waiting for him. I went into their garage and parked my car there. Even though there were a lot of Amway boxes in there, it wasn't so crowded that it couldn't fit one or two cars in there if they were pushed up against the wall and stacked on top of each other. I'm not sure if this was for personal consumption or for sale, but I have a feeling that the most of it was given away as samples, and I'm talking about XS Energy Drinks and Perfect Water in this case. As you recall, our Platinum was defrauding Amway by receiving free sample cases in exchange for calling in to say his customer didn't like the goods, and Amway would promptly send him a replacement. That allowed him to continue to drink and hand out samples.

The true reason automobiles couldn't be parked in this area was due of the large number of tables. You'd be forgiven for thinking this was a boutique managed by the Addams Family. Even in the weak light, we were able to see almost all of the Amway products on the table, as well as nearly everything else that was sold in the catalogue. Every sort of Artistry makeup is available on a single table. Another table is dedicated to skin care. Nutrilite is located on a different table. On another table, there are food bars and drinks. Cleaning supplies are kept on another table. And so forth. A rough estimate is that there will be 12 to 15 card tables. A car would be a lot of fun to drive into that place and bust some of that nasty Amway junk!

I'm not really sure why they chose to arrange the garage in this manner. After all, it wasn't like there were only unique Amway products on display. They also had a variety of other items stored in the garage, including recreation equipment, automobile products, and tools. We're not talking about the atmosphere here. If this was going to be set up like a store, where consumers could come in and check at the things before placing a purchase, the Platinum didn't say anything to us about that during our interview. The truth is, they didn't say very much of anything at all. Simply herded us all in to take a look; there must have been about 30 or 40 IBOs present that day; and we had to squeeze in between people and heavily laden tables to do so. The experience is even worse than going to an electronics store on Black Friday! Everyone just sat around and talked because they couldn't move because they were crammed in like sardines. After a while, after the Platinum determined that we'd had enough time to admire his Amway store and worship it, we returned to the house for an Amway meeting with him and his family.

Ambot once had to go to the Emerald's house to pick up something he needed. Alternatively, he could have been dropping something off. Obviously, I'm on a mission for the Platinum Corporation. When Ambot returned home, he informed me that he had observed the garage. According to him, there were more than 100 boxes of Perfect Water in the room. The Emerald informed him that those were the total sales for the month from his customers. The market for pricey water, in my opinion, is non-existent. Maybe those consumers were IBOs in his downline who were looking for work. The Emerald, on the other hand, was unable to park his car in the garage.

The key question is whether he truly had clients for all of those cartons of water (which seems implausible) or whether he was stockpiling stuff and putting his PV up there for show.

We'll never know the truth. Ambot, on the other hand, did not hoard products in anticipation of future purchases. Everything he had purchased from Amway was a disaster in and of itself. After Ambot had had enough of this fraud, it was a lot of fun putting them in the garbage can.

Spending money on Amway is equivalent to throwing money away. We might have just as well burned twenty-dollar bills instead. In the long run, it would have been less expensive.

We Are Robots: Bizbot (HD)

 I discovered this video on YouTube and, despite the fact that it has been around for quite some time, I thought I'd share it with you, even though some of you may have already seen it. I really like the sniping prospects. Everything in this article is so true of Amway's business model. Take note that the robot is only half-formed, with a flame beneath him. In the WWDB business plan, half-bodies are depicted with a small cloud beneath them to represent customers. I believe the flame emanating from this robot is a part of the Amway chant "Fired up!"

Invest your money with this Robot entrepreneur and watch it multiply... by zero.

It is not a pyramid scheme in any way. It's a money-making pyramid scheme, to be precise. Sign up with Bizbot's organisation and everyday will feel like a rock concert on the moon. Bizbot may not be able to transform you into a billionaire overnight, but he appears to believe he has discovered the key to success... if only he can persuade enough people to attend his meetings. He doesn't work in an office. He's out in the field, turning any setting into an opportunity for growth. In order to achieve success, whether it's giving a motivational speech to a captive audience in line at the bank or turning your romantic dinner for two into a power lunch by inviting himself to join you, he is willing to go to any length. He's like Tony Robbins, Oprah Winfrey and Sean Diddy Combs all rolled into one. So put on your monkey suit, plug on your bluetooth speaker, spritz yourself with cologne or perfume, and prepare to be inspired. You don't want to be the last person to board this bus to cash town.

Walking Away from Ambots

 When it comes to Amway, women can put up with a lot because they believe it is simply a phase their husband is going through and that as soon as he realises it is a scam, runs out of money, or gets into a conflict with his upline, he will leave the company.

She grows increasingly enraged as time passes, and at that point she turns to the Internet in search of additional information or support.

Recently, a good post on the BWW/Amway Lies about Amway Women was published, which provides some additional insight.

I came across a couple of blogs on the Internet from women who had made the decision to divorce their husbands. Despite the fact that they were written seven years apart, their stories are nearly identical. Hell, I came close to writing a storey like this last year. Things haven't really changed that much.

And just in case IBOFB shows here to claim that this isn't true, I've provided the links to the pieces in question to prove it. The second narrative contains a number of significant typographical errors. That may be because of the way the web page was formatted, or it could be because she was so upset that she wasn't typing very well. However, rather of attempting to tidy it up, I have decided to leave it as is. I don't want the IBOFB to show up and accuse me of anything I've done wrong.

http://www.culthelp.info/index.php?option=com content&task=view&id=776&Itemid=9

I've decided to divorce my husband of four years, the man I adore more than anything else in the world.

I am confident that my storey is not unique, and that I am not the only individual who has suffered as a result of Amway. I found myself looking for someone who may possibly comprehend what I was going through.

The boss of my husband's employer came over to our house one day approximately two years ago to "show us something." I didn't like what I saw back then, and I despise the person it has turned my spouse into as a result of it. I stood there and watched as our friends and our house were taken away from us. My family began to request that we visit them less and less regularly. Then, in complete horror, I stood by and watched as he attempted to "contact" [recruit for Amway] someone at the funeral of my eleven-year-old sister.

I experienced two years of being referred to as "negative," "unsupportive," "non-Christian," and, in general, a "bad wife" by both my husband and his "upline," as well as by other family members. I ultimately informed him that he had to make a decision [between Amway and me]—even if it meant stopping for only six months. I had already started packing since I knew which of the two things was more essential to him.

Now I'm sitting here feeling ill about how my life has turned out, and I'm wondering whether I'm completely wrong. I'd never had a second thought about any of my decisions previously. I moved from being a friendly and outgoing person to being almost a recluse. I'm having panic attacks as a result of [this experience], and I'm becoming increasingly disinterested in the things I used to enjoy.

 believe I had a specific point in mind when I began writing this. Specifically, I was wondering if there were any support groups for people who were in a similar situation to mine. I haven't been able to locate one, despite the fact that I have come across several other people whose tales are alarmingly similar to mine.

http://www.webraw.com/quixtar/archives/2005/10/fyi amquix.php

Quixtar has completely destroyed my family... My husband made the decision to join this cult over two years ago, and I attended a couple of meetings myself and couldn't believe how foolish all of the IBO's were. They revere all of the major guys, including Larry Winters, and I couldn't believe how stupid they all were. My spouse has transformed into a robot; he speaks and dresses in the manner of his upline, he no longer watches television, he no longer listens to music, and he breathes Quixtar nonstop throughout the day and night... After two years, all he has to show for it is DEBT. He has to buy his own points in order to be eligible for special meetings, such as "THE MEETING OF THE YEAR." He needs at least 1000 points to be eligible, so my husband goes out and buys everything he can to get the points. Things that we don't require, and things that we don't use are accumulated. The "business" (which I like to refer to as a "hobby") that my husband has is something he does every afternoon, regardless of what else we have going on in our lives. Birthdays, anniversaries, and emergencies are all reasons to celebrate. He simply doesn't care and goes out into the community to "contact" others. He has completely neglected his responsibilities to his family. It was my decision to ask him to make a decision. In fact, I can't even buy normal COLGATE toothpaste without him freaking out and dumping it in the trash... I don't want this kind of mindset around my children at all times. He stated that he will continue to conduct business with or without me... He was extremely clear about his decision. I had to leave him. Since then, I've taken my children and left him... It's been 4 weeks and I have not received any response from him... He has evidently made the decision to marry Quixtar and has forgotten about his wife of eight years and his two gorgeous children, aged six and three, respectively.

What role does Christianity play in these people's lives and in their businesses?

.. The fact is that this is not a Christian business; rather, they are using it to lure people in and entangle them in all of their lies and promises; and, as a result, someone needs to step in and do something about it.

Leaving Behind Ambots: Freeing the Mind from the Manipulation of Multi-Level Marketing

Companies that engage in multi-level marketing, also known as MLM, have seen explosive growth in popularity over the past few years. These businesses lure individuals with the promise of financial independence, flexible working hours, and business success. However, not every multi-level marketing experience goes exactly as planned. Many people discover that they have been sucked into a loop of being manipulated, given false promises, and subjected to unrelenting pressure to sell things and recruit new members. This article explores the experiences of individuals who have made the decision to walk away from "ambots" (automated robots) and offers light on the process of freeing oneself from the shackles of MLM schemes.

The Illusion of Success One of the primary strategies that multi-level marketing (MLM) businesses use is to portray a glamorous and rich lifestyle as being related with their products or services. This is one of the fundamental components of the "illusion of success." Ambots, also known as those who are enthusiastic about multi-level marketing (MLM), frequently portray a picture of enormous success by showing fancy automobiles, unusual holidays, and abundant financial resources. However, underneath the surface is a skillfully designed facade that hides the hardships, financial losses, and emotional toll that many MLM participants undergo. This facade conceals the fact that MLMs are a pyramid scheme. Recognizing the illusionary nature of the achievement that was promised and regaining one's own authenticity are both necessary steps in the process of walking away from ambots.

Exploitation and Manipulation: Multi-level marketing (MLM) organizations rely largely on recruitment to keep their business models afloat. Ambots, who are motivated by their own financial goals, often become recruiters for other companies, taking advantage of susceptible people who are looking for additional income or a change in their professional lives. On the other hand, as one digs deeper into the MLM structure, they frequently discover the deceptive methods that are deployed by the firm as well as the pressure to recruit and maintain a downline. Stepping away from ambots entails emancipating oneself from a web of manipulation and coming to terms with the fact that one's value is outside the parameters of MLM recruitment.

Losses in terms of both money and emotional well-being can result from participation in multi-level marketing (MLM) schemes. For many people, this can result in large financial losses. The pressure to achieve monthly goals, acquire product on a regular basis, and attend pricey conferences can lead to a buildup of personal debt and put a burden on one's financial situation. In addition, the relentless pursuit of sales and recruitment can have a negative impact on a person's mental and emotional health if they are not careful. In order to successfully quit ambots, one must first come to terms with the detrimental effects that multi-level marketing can have on one's own money and emotional well-being, put one's mental health first, and look for other ways to achieve financial success.

Reclaiming Your Personal Autonomy Leaving ambots behind is a symbol of reclaiming your personal autonomy and moving on to pursue actual business pursuits. It is common for MLM frameworks to stifle creative expression and confine individuals to a predetermined economic model, which leaves very little possibility for innovation and personal development. Individuals regain the ability to pursue their genuine passions after breaking free from the shackles of multi-level marketing (MLM), establish enterprises on their own terms, and make decisions independently without the influence of their uplines or the agendas of MLM corporate.

Community and support: Exiting the world of multi-level marketing (MLM) may be an intimidating and isolated experience for many people. A lot of people who have left Ambot find comfort in talking to other people who have left because they went through something similar and decided to leave. People are able to recuperate from the effects of their multi-level marketing (MLM) experiences and begin the process of rebuilding their life with the assistance of support groups and online forums. Stepping away from ambots requires locating one's strength inside one's community and drawing upon the experiences of others in order to bring about positive change.

Leaving behind ambots is a step toward achieving freedom from the suffocating influence of MLM scams, which marks a path of emancipation. Recognizing the illusions of success, releasing the burden of financial losses, and regaining one's personal liberty are all necessary steps in the process. Those who have left MLM can empower themselves and others to escape the cycle of manipulation perpetuated by the industry by talking about their experiences and providing mutual support to one another. It is a brave move towards personal development, genuine entrepreneurship, and the pursuit of a life that is authentic and meaningful.

This Is The Year!!!!

 "This is the year in which you are going to make a big splash!"

Dream Night, a WWDB function that takes place in early January, is the battle cry of the upline at the start of the year, and it can be heard during that time.

As the new year approaches, it is important to remember that Ambot has been in "the business" for several months. To summarise Ambot's previous achievements:

1. One downline joined, but left a few of weeks later due to personal reasons.

2. Thousands of dollars have been "invested" in "the business" through the purchase of Amway products and attendance at events.

3. Enlisted the assistance of two friends to attend board of directors meetings.

four. persuaded one acquaintance to attend a meeting

5. The grand opening of "our" Amway store drew a small crowd, but no one made a purchase.

held an afternoon tea social in order to sell Artistry cosmetics and other Amway products, which was a ruse to increase sales One of my friends went out and bought a few things.

7. Two friends made some small pity purchases to support Ambot's business, which had nothing to do with their attendance at any Amway functions.

800 hours wasted studying Amway literature, dealing with phone calls and text messages and listening to Kate messages; attending meetings; listening to tapes - oh, and better make those CD's before IBOFB shows up again and claims that tapes haven't been produced since he was in diapers! (Alright, Rocket or Tex, here's your chance to say that he is still sporting them!)

9. alienating friends and family members by irritating behaviour (e.g., parroting upline IBOs).

Every piece of advice from his oh-so-wise upline was heeded by Ambot without hesitation. Well, not everything - the one exception would be that he didn't abandon me completely. His efforts have so far proved unsuccessful, however I doubt there are many individuals out there who would want to consume a case of XS Energy Drinks every day while also packing in a variety of food items.

So how in the world is the new year going to be any different?

It isn't going to happen.

It will be the same as before. Spending money on costly, substandard things is a waste of time. Attending functions results in financial loss. It's a waste of time. He continues to make nasty remarks directed at everyone who does not support his Amway business ventures. All of this is supported by the upline's assurance that this is the year he will make a big splash in "the business." They have to persuade him to stay for a few more months so that they can make even more money off of him!

Ambot's tale is similar to that of other IBOs who are struggling. On the one hand, the upline gives people optimism, but on the other, he steals their money from their pockets.

“This is the year you're going to go BIG” is an ego booster designed to encourage Independent Business Owners (IBOs) to stay with Amway for a bit longer in case they were considering quitting or not renewing for the new year. IBOs cannot afford to give up now that success is just around the corner!

To put it another way, you can't just walk away now because I need more of your money for my portion of the tool scam and I need your PV so that my dreams can come true.

I made the decision to make a significant step to remove Ambot from Amway and away from the cult leaders. Success!

This is most likely not what your upline had in mind when they told you that this is the year you should go BIG.

This year, we make a big statement by refusing to renew the Amway "business licence."

As a result of not alienating friends and relatives, we are going BIG this year.

This year, we're going BIGGER than ever by refusing to put up with the fucking upline.

Stick it!

 We were instructed to decorate the refrigerator with photographs of new vehicles, dream homes, and other material items. We did so.

First and foremost, I despise having things stuck on my refrigerator. Over the years, I've thrown away more than my fair share of garish refrigerator magnets.

Second, even if I did have photos of my family plastered all over my refrigerator, they would be photos of my family, not photos of things I lust after.

Placing images of sailboats, Ferraris, and the Hearst Castle on the fridge just reeks of avarice. Do these photos actually assist IBOs in achieving their goals, or do they merely serve as a sombre reminder that their bank accounts are shrinking as they grasp for the dreams that their upline has brainwashed them into believing they will one day possess?

Every year, I used to get a day planner. The front of the planner has a section where you may write down your goals and a target date. I'd have to bring them over from the previous year's work occasionally. After that, I was required to schedule time in my calendar on a daily or weekly basis to devote to achieving these objectives. I recall hearing somewhere in the past that people who write down their goals have a higher success rate of achieving them than those who do not write them down, which is why I decided to write down my goals. Eventually, as the year came to a close and I was switching off planners, I would notice that either I had achieved my goals or was on the way to achieving them.

The majority of my goals were focused on improving myself professionally or personally, but one year I had a goal that was more tangible: I wanted a red car, which I was able to achieve. Because it didn't happen that year, I carried that goal over into the following year, when I finally purchased the car. Because I used a different colour - black - I didn't exactly achieve my goal. As soon as I walked into the dealership, I decided against the colour I had chosen. But I didn't have a picture of that car pinned on my refrigerator door.

So, why does your upline want you to act like Gretchen and put photographs of items you want on your refrigerator but you don't actually have yet?

The reason for this was so that we would remember why we were spending all of our money on cassettes (oops, better say CDs before IBOFB turns in and says tapes haven't been sold in years! ), functions, seminars, costly items, and so on. Perhaps this was another another reason why I was unable to post any photographs on my refrigerator. These were unachievable goals that could not be realised since we were squandering our money on the Amway pyramid scheme.

Social security won’t be there when you retire?

 We attended a lot of Amway meetings, and one of the scare tactics the speakers used was, "Your social security will not be there when you retire." I'd say that was true of nearly every meeting we attended.

So, how do they know this? I have a strong feeling it will be. However, I believe that, as with any other guess, the speaker has a 50/50 chance of being correct in his or her prediction. I feel the same way!

Even though I believe that social security will be there for me when I retire, I have other investments and savings, and I hope that a combination of all of them will be sufficient to support me for the rest of my life when I do retire.

The majority of people will need to make decisions during their working years, and most will start some form of retirement savings plan in their twenties, with additional investments added to it over the years. For example, you could start saving for a down payment on a house while still in your twenties. If you buy a house in your 20s or 30s, you will have paid off your mortgage by your 50s or, at the very least, by the time you reach retirement age. Get rid of that mortgage payment, and a significant portion of your monthly expenses will be eliminated. Also, pay off any outstanding debts by the time you reach retirement age and avoid incurring any new debts, which will make your retirement years less stressful.

Those are the important points. The benefits of reaching retirement age debt-free and owning your own house are enormous. After all, who wants to be a tenant when they reach the age of retirement? That amounts to hundreds of dollars per month in rent payments to a landlord as a result of bad financial planning during your younger years.

My earlier piece indicated that the typical monthly expenses in Amway would be approximately $700. Whether this represents disposable money or if IBOs are using up their credit cards is still up in the air (the latter is more likely!). Instead of flushing that $700 down the toilet every month, it might be used to make a mortgage payment instead.

The purpose of our upline was to instil dread in people's hearts in order to scare fresh prospects into joining. For a group of cretins who laud the ideals of "don't say anything negative," they are the most negative individuals I've ever met in my entire life. Apocalyptic predictions about the future, including businesses closing down, a recession, people losing their jobs, social security not being available, and blah, blah, blah. Who has time to listen to the negative bile that is spewing forth from Amway meetings?

The speakers scare the IBOs into believing that social security will not be available when they retire, and that they will therefore need to find alternative sources of income. If IBOs have any other plans, their upline makes fun of them and knocks them down in the process. The "wisdom" of our upline bastards claims that Amway is the only option and that all it takes is a 2 to 5 year commitment of 10 to 15 hours per week to do the work to be able to live off residual income for the rest of one's life after that. Freedom!

Yes, that's correct. Instead of wasting your money on Amway and chasing after impossible dreams, there are better alternatives.

Make sure you don't think negatively like our upline. Consider the positive. When you reach retirement age, Social Security will be there for you. (I have a 50 percent probability of being correct with that prediction!)

Don't bother about social security. With any luck, Amway will no longer be in business when I retire! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I have a 50 percent chance of getting that prediction correct as well!

Selling Amway products for Christmas

 Our upline leased a community hall and transformed it into an Amway Christmas shopping centre, and all IBOs were instructed to invite friends and family members to go and purchase Amway products as Christmas gifts for their loved ones.

The majority of the products on display were consumables, such as terrible snack bars, disgusting XS energy drinks, vitamins, and Perfect Water, among other things. Remember, this is the kind of item that every youngster hopes to find beneath the Christmas tree?

Each IBO was required to contribute $10 toward the cost of renting the community hall. There were approximately 40 IBOs in attendance at this occasion. You probably guessed it. The IBOs outnumbered the shoppers by a wide margin.

About two blocks away from a busy thoroughfare is the old community hall, which is located on a relatively peaceful street. There was a notice on the entrance inviting people to come in and do their Christmas shopping there. Perhaps they would have gotten more purchasers if they had moved a couple of blocks further and placed a sign on the corner of a more heavily used road.. It's possible that it won't. When it comes to shopping malls, the first Saturday in December is the busiest day of the year. Let's have a look at the numbers. A shopping centre with a large number of stores. There is a great deal of variety. A good assortment of items is available. The product is reasonably priced. Compare this to Amway shopping central, which is located in a small community hall that is infested with mice. Products that are overpriced. There is a limited selection.

There were five of our buddies in attendance. The IBO's seized on them, believing that they would generate a lot of sales. One of our pals really went out and bought a few things. The pity purchaser, who simply purchased the products in order to assist Ambot. Over $100, there was a decent sale. I'm not sure how much it was in total. It's possible that it was closer to $200.

Here's where things get a little wacky. Our acquaintance was the only one who made a transaction on that particular afternoon. Ambot was the lone IBO who made a sale out of the entire group of IBOs. We were packing up when we had our final meeting of the day and Platinum scolded the group for their lack of sales. Now, you'd think that the conceited sack of shit would have something nice to say about Ambot because his friend had made some purchases, but no. Nope. He ripped against Ambot, claiming that he had five buddies show up and that only one of them made a purchase. When I say laid into him, I mean really laid into him about how those were not real friends because they did not support his business and about his general lack of success, even though he was the only IBO who made a sale that day, I mean laid into him about how those were not real friends because they did not support his business and about his general lack of success As soon as the verbal lashing was over, he assured Ambot that they still loved him and that they would always be his only true friends, as opposed to the phoney friends who don't support his company.

After Ambot stopped attending Amway meetings and purchasing products, despite all of the phoney promises of never-ending love and friendship, those phonies severed their bonds of love and friendship with him. That's a bummer. What I can't put into words is how much it aches my heart to know that those liars don't want to have anything to do with us any longer.

Save First, Spend Later

 This advise was broadcast on the news this morning while I was watching a piece about Christmas spending, yet it might equally apply to Amway as well as other businesses.

It is a rare blog post in which I do not curse out my upline. This is a touch off topic, but given that it is the Christmas season, it does seem appropriate for this time of year.

I despise hearing stories of people trying to budget for Christmas, especially when the holiday is just 2 weeks away and it's pretty much a lost cause for the majority of people. According to one financial expert who was questioned, you should set aside 1.5 percent of your gross income for Christmas. This might include spending money on gifts, preparing additional meals, and any other expenditures that occur at this time of year. He stated that if the annual income is $50,000, then a budget of $750 is required. He also stated that one should save first and spend later, but then completely skipped over this and went on to state that one should only spend cash around Christmas. As previously stated, this suggestion may come a bit too late for some folks who are rushing to pull out their credit cards just to be disappointed when their January bill arrives in the mail.

Years ago, I came across an article that discussed how to figure out how much money you should spend on Christmas. Every month, divide that amount by 12 and set aside the money in a savings account. You'll have the money in your pocket by the time the holiday shopping season begins. This is sound advice. Every month, Ambot and I put $80 in an envelope and keep it there. Once October or November arrive, we will have enough money to cover the rest of the year's expenditures in full. So, who has a strong mathematical background? By the time we begin our Christmas shopping, we will have $960 in an envelope in our possession. When we originally started, we chipped in $60 each month to cover our expenses. Ambot suggested today that we raise the amount to $100 every month for the following year.

As a saver, I am at odds with Ambot, who is a spender, which is what landed him in difficulty with the Amway cult and contributed to the scam. He used his credit card for everything, even purchasing dinners for his valuable upline, in the mistaken belief that he was tracking all of his business spending with a credit card, completely oblivious to the fact that he would eventually have to pay it back.

Making use of the same philosophy, figure out how much money you spend on Amway each month and put that money aside in cash rather than using a credit card to pay for it. Actually, because it is an online purchase, you will almost always be required to use a credit card. For example, cash that has been set aside to pay off the credit card debt immediately. Consider spending at least $300 per month on Amway products in order to qualify for a bonus check worth slightly less than $10. Ambot desired to increase his earnings. The smallest amount he ever spent in a month was $468 dollars. The majority of the months saw spending between $950 and $1050 on Amway products, with the highest spending occurring two months after joining at $1,358.

This is the part where I want to scream! My food budget is $600, which includes both groceries and eating out, which accounts for approximately half of my total spending. What the fuck was he spending his money on? Okay, I've previously mentioned my excessive consumption of XS Energy Drinks. How can this possible compare to the Amway items that we purchase on a regular basis when we go food shopping? When it comes to grocery shopping, I've never come close.

Assuming you're buying CDs on the cheap, you'll need to budget an additional $20 every month, but the sky's the limit. The most CDs Ambot purchased in a single month was $150, however the majority of the time he spent less than $40 per month.

You must have a premier subscription to WWDB, which costs $49.95. If you're a "serious business builder," don't forget about Communikate, which costs $36.95 a month.

Monthly seminars with a variety of topics - tickets and parking are $70.

That's $476.90 a month just doing the bare minimum to obtain a bonus check from Amway worth less than $10 and establish yourself as a real business owner. As you progress through the levels, your spending will increase in accordance with the amount of available space on your credit card and your desire to impress your upline with your expenditures.

Every year, there are four big functions, each of which is held in a different state. Plan on spending at least $500 on transportation, meals, lodging, and tickets, with the possibility of spending more depending on your circumstances (such as how far you're travelling).

So, let's pretend we're putting money aside for Christmas and divide the total by twelve. Every month, you'll need to set aside approximately $700 (or more) in cash!

Yikes!

Is it possible that this could be a mortgage payment, anyone? Anybody think that money may be put to better use in equities or a 401k? So, how about a very large blowout for Christmas this year?

That is a significant amount of money to set aside each month for a firm with a failure rate of more than 99 percent.

“Save early, spend later,” is a piece of advise that I still like from the financial guru today.

Apply it to your Amway business before you spend all of your money on your credit card in order to impress your upper-level sponsor.

The key to stable financial footing and success over the long term is to save money first and spend it later.

The idea that one should "save first, spend later" may appear contradictory in today's society, which places a premium on quick pleasure and is dominated by materialism. Having this mindset, on the other hand, is a potent instrument for achieving both financial stability and long-term success in the long run. The path to a stable financial future is outlined in this article, which delves into the advantages of making saving a higher priority than spending in order to get one's financial house in order.

Creating a Safety Net: 

Saving first involves putting aside a certain amount of money each month into a savings account or an emergency fund before spending money on non-essential items like entertainment or dining out. This strategy serves as a safety net in the event of unforeseen occurrences such as the loss of a job, a serious illness, or extensive repairs. You may prevent acquiring debt and reduce stress during hard times by maintaining a financial cushion, which enables you to handle uncertainties with confidence and allows you to avoid amassing debt.

Creating Financial Discipline: 

Prioritizing saving instills financial discipline and self-control. It requires you to continually save aside a percentage of your money, regardless of any immediate demands or temptations that may come your way. When you make saving money a top priority, you cultivate sound money management practices that can provide the groundwork for prosperous long-term financial outcomes. This self-discipline extends beyond the act of saving alone and has the potential to favorably influence other aspects of your financial life, such as creating a budget, investing, and cutting back on things that aren't absolutely required.

Creating Wealth and Achieving Financial Goals Saving money early on paves the way for you to amass wealth over the course of time. You can develop a pool of assets that can be invested in various vehicles such as stocks, real estate, or retirement accounts if you consistently save some of your income. This can be accomplished by setting aside a portion of your salary. These investments produce returns and increase your wealth, putting you on the path to attaining long-term financial goals such as retiring comfortably, buying a home, or paying for your children's school.

When you save money first, you can reduce the amount of debt you have to pay off as well as the interest payments that come along with it. If you make saving money a top priority, you won't have to rely as much on credit cards, loans, or any other forms of debt to cover your day-to-day costs. You will not only save money on interest payments but also enhance your creditworthiness, which will allow you to take advantage of cheaper interest rates and greater financial prospects in the future. Saving money on interest payments is just one benefit of reducing debt.

Conquering the Dangers of Lifestyle Inflation One of the difficulties that a lot of people have to deal with is the urge to increase their spending as their income grows. This issue, which is sometimes referred to as lifestyle inflation, can slow down financial development and make it more difficult to properly save money. By adopting the mentality of "save first, spend later," you can intentionally combat the effects of lifestyle inflation and ensure that your savings will keep pace with any increases in income you may experience. If you take this strategy, rather than giving in to excessive spending habits, you will be able to keep your finances in check and distribute your resources in an intelligent manner.

Methods for Putting the "Save First, Spend Later" Strategy Into Action:

Set up automated transfers to a separate savings account or investment vehicle to ensure that a percentage of your income is continuously saved before you have the opportunity to spend it. a. Automate Your Savings Set up automatic transfers to a separate savings account or investment vehicle.

b. Create a realistic budget that includes a savings category as a non-negotiable item and approach it as an essential payment rather than a decision you can make if you want to save money.

b. Give Yourself the Highest Priority: 

You should make it a priority to save a certain percentage or quantity of any income you get before allocating any of the funds to pay for other expenses.

d. Keep Tabs on Your Expenses: 

Keep an eye on your spending patterns and see where you can make reductions so that you can put more money away in savings.

In spite of the fact that the dominant culture frequently encourages quick consumption and spending, adopting the mentality of "save first, spend later" is an essential step toward achieving financial stability and success over the long term. You can put yourself on the path to wealth generation, debt reduction, and overall financial well-being by establishing a safety net, exercising financial discipline, and working towards the achievement of financial goals. Adopt the mentality of saving money first, and you'll be amazed at how much more certain and hopeful your financial future becomes.

A Recession Proof Business

 My upline Platinum made the claim that Amway is a recession-proof business more than once, and I lost count of how many times I heard it. Immediately following that statement, he would point out that people still require food, drink, and the use of toilet paper, regardless of the economic climate.

On one of our sponsor's recordings, he says things like "people running around with their heads cut off about the recession and getting laid off." He then goes on to say how he starts instilling fear in people about their jobs and how he hopes they don't put all their eggs in one basket because they'll be finished. His scare tactics continue, with the latest statement being that he hopes they have more than one source of income because, if business is slow now before Christmas, what is going to happen after the holidays?

Smarmy son of a b*tch, to be sure.

So, what happens when a family's income is disrupted as a result of layoffs or a reduction in working hours? Do they look for ways to save money, or do they spend their money like crazy on high-end products?

I can't recall the exact price of Amway's toilet paper, but it seemed to me to be around $60 for a package that contained maybe 48 rolls. Whatever the number of rolls, it's still too many. At the grocery store or drug store, you can get 48 of a well-known brand for $15 or $20.

That was brushed aside without a second thought. The Platinum sack of poo also emphasised eating and drinking, which is something that everyone must do.

To be sure, when I want food and drink, I want it as soon as possible, not a few days later after it has been shipped to me. When it comes to fruits and veggies, I always shop at a local produce market that is open all year round. I find that they are more fresher and significantly less expensive than supermarket stores. My shopping list may change depending on the availability of seasonal produce in my area or the recipe I'm preparing, but I can go to the produce store and buy a sack of potatoes, a bag of onions, tomatoes, carrots, celery, mushrooms, peppers, bananas, grapes, oranges, and apples and get change from a twenty dollar bill.

In what varieties of fresh veggies and fruit does Amway specialise? Is it possible that there are none? ...but wait, some IBO is going to disagree with me and say that who needs fresh veggies when they can buy Nutrilite supplements instead? Yes, there is a healthy option available. Not to mention that it is a costly one. When you're hungry, munching on an apple may help you feel a little fuller. If you take a vitamin, you'll still be hungry an hour later!

Is it true that Amway sells eggs? Hmm, would that be another "no" for the record? However, my next-door neighbour sells them for $1 per dozen.

There's a warehouse bakery in the area that supplies all of the grocery stores in the neighbourhood. They have a shop on the premises of their warehouse. Over the years, I've been going there and purchasing bread at a fraction of the cost of what I'd pay at the grocery store otherwise. Using only gourmet grain bread, garlic bread, bagels, and hamburger buns, I can stock my freezer for a month's worth of meals for less than $20 a week.

What kind of bread does Amway sell, and where can I find out? It is possible that an IBO will argue that Amway sells crackers and that I should adjust my eating habits.

I'm willing to bet the crackers cost a lot less at the grocery store than they do on the Amway website.

After that, I went to the grocery store to finish off my shopping list. Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) will attempt to persuade me that nearly every product sold at the grocery store is available through Amway. What about seafood - do you prefer it fresh or frozen? Is that something Amway sells? Some IBO is going to spout off about Nutrilite with Omega 3 in the near future.

Drinks? I don't drink energy drinks, and XS is disgusting, so I would never buy something like that! Perfect Water is available for purchase at a cost of $2 per bottle. I can get a case of bottled water for $2 or $3 at Wal-Mart, depending on whether or not it is on sale. In any case, I don't generally purchase bottled water. The water from our taps is excellent. I once purchased a tetra pack of Amway drink that had a chocolate flavour to it. It had a chalky taste to it. I had no idea what it was. I liked it, so Ambot bought more, which arrived after the expiration date had already gone, so I couldn't drink them because they were expired. Amway maintains extremely high standards of quality control.

Whether there is a recession or not, people enjoy getting a good deal, and they will shop where they can get a good deal and get their money's worth. When money is tight, some people would even compromise on quality in order to save money. I can stock my refrigerator, freezer, and pantry with nutritious foods for a month for less than $300, which is the bare minimum that IBOs are required to spend each month in order to qualify for a check worth less than $10 per month. That $300 in PV isn't allowing me to put hot, flavorful, and nutritious meals on the table. Not to mention the ice cream for dessert, which Amway is unable to provide me with.

Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) can make all the claims they want about Amway being a recession-proof business, but can you find clients or sign up new prospects when money is scarce?

Amway is a recession-proof enterprise, but whether or not you are an independent business owner (IBO) is questionable. It is, however, difficult to sell to customers who have been affected by the recession and are watching their spending money. What is the point of putting pressure on these people? They are already experiencing financial difficulties, so why force them to embark on a venture with a 99 percent failure rate?

A recession is a period of economic decline that is defined by a considerable fall in economic activity. This decrease in economic activity can lead to a loss of employment, which in turn can lead to a decrease in consumer expenditure. Even while this may be a difficult moment for businesses, there are still a number of industries and types of enterprises that often fare rather well during economic downturns. In this post, we will discuss some of the most important qualities that define a firm that can withstand a recession, as well as provide some suggestions for beginning your own recession-proof enterprise.

Defining characteristics of a company that can weather a recession

Provides items or services that are necessary.

Businesses that are resistant to economic downturns often provide goods or services that are indispensable to day-to-day living, regardless of the state of the economy. The provision of food, healthcare, housing, and transportation are all examples of these. Because consumers will always have a demand for the products and services provided by these businesses, they are less likely to be adversely affected if the economy experiences a downturn.

Has a wide range of different types of customers.

A broad customer base that is not dependent on any one particular industry or demographic segment is an essential component of a recession-proof organization. This can help to insulate the business from any economic shocks that may occur in a specific industry or population. This can be beneficial to the business.

Costs of operation that are little

A company that can weather economic downturns should have minimal operational costs that are simple to manage and keep under control. This can involve things like lowering overhead costs, outsourcing operations that are not essential to the business, and negotiating better deals with the companies who supply the company's goods and services.

Effective handling of the cash flow

A strong cash flow management system that gives a company the ability to ride out any potential economic storms is one of the key components of a recession-proof corporation. The management of inventory levels, the reduction of expenses, and the improvement of payment terms with consumers are all examples of this.

Dedicated to retaining existing customers

A business that is resilient to economic downturns should place a strong emphasis on maintaining strong relationships with existing clients over the long term. This can be helpful in ensuring that the company continues to have a constant stream of revenue even when the economy is in a downturn.

Business strategies that can withstand a recession

Services that transport food and groceries to customers' homes

Even when the economy is in a downturn, people's need for critical services like food and grocery delivery won't go away. The fact that these services can give clients benefits such as ease and the saving of time might contribute to the development of long-term connections and loyalty.

Services related to healthcare and overall wellness

People will still require necessary services such as telemedicine, mental health services, and home healthcare even during a recession. Additionally, services related to healthcare and wellness, such as those mentioned above, are vital services. These services can be provided remotely, which can assist to cut costs and boost accessibility for clients. Additionally, this can make it easier for customers to find the services they need.

Instruction and study available online

Traditional classroom-based education can be offered at a lesser cost than what is possible with online education and training, which are both becoming increasingly popular. In times of economic hardship, individuals may place a greater emphasis on furthering their education and professional development in order to enhance their prospects of securing employment.

Services for repairing and maintaining residential properties

Repair services for people's homes, including plumbing, electrical, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC), are examples of vital services that people will still require even during a recession. These services may help to maintain the value of homes as well as their functionality, which is something that may be especially crucial during times of economic unpredictability.

Businesses that focus on providing value in addition to discount shops

The economy is typically favorable to value-oriented and discount merchants, such as dollar stores and discount chains, which tend to fare well during economic downturns. These companies provide products at reasonable prices, allowing customers to continue making purchases even when they have less discretionary income available.

Conclusion

Beginning a firm that can withstand economic downturns involves thorough preparation and evaluation of the essential qualities that should be possessed by such a company. A business is able to weather economic downturns and survive in any economic climate if it provides important products or services, has a diverse client base, has a strong emphasis on customer retention, and manages expenses and cash flow effectively. You can create your own recession-proof firm and build a thriving enterprise that can endure any economic hardship if you give some thought to the ideas that have been presented in the previous paragraphs.
