I had an Amway IBO stop by a while back when I had stopped taking my meds. I must have been in one of my bitchy moods because he or she left a comment for me on a post where I provide a link to the top 50 cosmetics companies in 2012. IBO's take a look and sometimes freak out when Amway Artistry isn’t on the list. That’s partially due to it being a closed market for sales. The majority of customers are Amway IBO’s and you have to be a member of the Amway business club to purchase or know someone who is and buy from them. The rest of the people in the world can buy their cosmetics whereever they wish. But so what. Here’s a comment that was left:
Who's to say I am an Amway IBO? I came across this page whilst researching Artistry products and was disgusted at how rude somebody could be. Amway may not be your thing, it doesn't mean it won't work for anybody else. In fact, yesterday I was at dinner with my partner and a couple that have been a part of Amway for 25 years. Their income? Billions. Purely from Amway.
To which I responded something to the effect – Billions! Wow there’s Amway IBO’s who make more money than Oprah! I am missing out!
OK everyone have a good laugh now. But not too loudly!
Let’s start with where he or she – probably it’s a he – says how do you do, I’m an Amway IBO. Lets see. OK so far. Here's a question!. How do you know when someone in Amway is telling the truth? When their mouth is moving! Or in the case of the Internet – when they’re typing. a high majority people researching Artistry products are Amway IBO's. Nothing wrong with that! A lot of people in the world care a great deal about Amway cosmetics!
Let’s get to the good stuff! Amway IBO’s can earn billions!!! Wow! Holy cow that number has gone WAAAAAAAYYYYY up since we joined in the Amway business! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!
What an idiot! Well, what can you say, that pretty much sums up one or two of the people who can come on board the Amway fleet. I know the Amway’s owners are billionaires because they are listed in Forbes though I have no idea what kind of other investments they have but because they are billionaires some Amway IBO's like bragging about it all over the Internet. It's likely not all that money wouldn’t be purely from Amway. Unlike the dinner hosts the outraged IBO above knows!
So according to my outraged IBO commenter there’s another Amway IBO running around out there who makes billions purely from Amway and the media engine at Amway isn’t advertising this so everyone in the world knows about it? Well why should they? I don't see Coca-Cola bragging about what their executive earn either!
And is a billionaire going to invite some lowly IBO to dinner? Of course. Happens all the time!
So who are these mysterious Amway billionaires? The person who left the comment won’t say. I reckon he or she meant Dexter Yeager and company!
Lets see. Lets chalk that up to ann exited slip of the tongue comment from another Amway IBO.
These inexperienced Amway IBO's can sometime do a little damage a company that already has a mis-understoon reputation. And sometimes make themselves look like assholes while doing it.
Yeah but we understand. Amway billionaires are out there!
Oprah, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg – you all got in the wrong business! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!!!!

The Amway IBO Hit List
I'm not really sure why I wrote this but looking back I now see that some of my thoughts are completely wrong so I am going to make some corrections here and there!
Once an IBO has had enough of being love bombed to death by Amway business members and losing money in the Amway business building scheme and then quits Amway, they now find themselves on the Amway IBO hit list. --- I don't even know what that means anymore!
The Amway business is a fucked up religion that worships money. --- Not true! They lure in prospects with promises of riches and hype them up to believe that all their dreams of material possessions will come true thanks to Amway and that in 2 to 5 years they will be rolling in dough with gazillions of dollars in residual income every month and they’ll never have to work again.--- Considering that Amway does not actually recruit people at all I am not sure what I'm thinking here!
What comes to mind to most people is a get rich quick scheme. If it sounds too good to be true then it probably isn't. If it was this easy to get rich quick everyone would be doing it. People would be pushing each other out of the way to sign up for Amway instead of how it's really done with IBO's being sneaky that the big business opportunity is the dreaded A word and tricking prospects to come to meetings. --- The truth is that many people join Amway every day and are having incredible successes!
The Amway business offers instant friendship. And extremely affectionate instant friends. Demon friends!--- Really! There are no demons in Amway! Over the top IBO's who hang on to your every word with dumb grins on their faces as if you are the most fascinating person they’ve ever met, hand out overly zealous compliments, and want to hug hug hug! And squeal and scream whenever they see you like you’re a long lost friend they haven’t seen in 20 years instead of some ambot they ran into last night at an Amway cult meeting.---Truth is I've never really met anyone like this at any of the meetings I go to. If they were there they would soon be told to shut up!
Eventually most IBO's wise up and quit the scam.--- What scam? Had enough of the Amway pyramid scheme!---Again most intelligent people know that Amway is not a pyramid. Not sure where my brain was when I wrote that!
Quitting means stop buying overpriced Amway products = no PV for the IBO or any of the leaders in their Amway upline. Oooohhhh!!!!!!! That really pisses off those upline Amway assholes! Angers them to no extent. Amway friends are only your friends as long as you’re handing over money to them. They only like you for your money and how much money they can make off you. There’s gotta be some reason behind why they put on that phony ass “I love you” routine.--Again not exactly true. We quit the business some time back but rejoined because we really do believe it's the best thing out there since sliced bread. All our Amway uplines have been really supportive!
The IBO stops attending Amway meetings. That means less money under the mattress of some leader in the Amway upline. Whoever it is - Diamond or Emerald - who is not making as much money as he’d like at the last business meeting will ride the ass of the business leaders in his downline. “Where’s my money!!!! Sign up more IBO's!!! I need a fucking Mercedes!!!!”---This is clearly nonsense! I make these guys sound like Hitler. The truth is the true leaders in this business are constantly adding people into their own and their downlines groups!
Nope the ambot who quit won’t budge and won’t hand over no more cash. They’re realized they’re not making fistfuls of money in Amway. Its nearly impossible to find customers to buy overpriced shitty Amway products.
They can’t find prospects to come to Amway meetings much less sign up to be an Amway IBO. They cut their losses and stop.---New prospects sign up every day of the week!
Maybe they actually liked some of the leaders in their Amway upline and want to remain friends with them.
Nope won’t happen. Amway friends are only your friends as long as you’re handing money over to them. You are OUT!!!!---Never been the case with me and Kerry!
At the next Amway business meeting the sack of poo Platinum gets the word out to the other team members to ostracize the IBO who left the flock. They lost their dream. Their dream wasn’t big enough. They didn’t try hard enough. They had an unsupportive wife. They listed to too many dreamstealers. They became negative. Usually a one hour rant in the next Amway busines meeting. Maybe the next few business meetings. The sack of poo Platinum needs some material to entertain the business followers for 3 or 4 hours.---I just made that last bit up to keep the story flowing. The reality is that all our uplines care about the people in their downline but do understand if people wish to leave. Hey this business is not for everyone!
About 6 months or so after mu huband initially quit the Amway business we ran into an IBO at the gas station. He went over and said hi to him while I filled the tank. The IBO smiled at him and said he wasn’t supposed to talk to us.--Not true! He actually invited us around for dinner!
Gee who would have handed down that command?---No one did!
The sack of poo Platinum?
Yup. We quit Amway and ended up on the IBO hit list!---Doesn't even exist!
I can’t tell you how devastating that is to me! Ha ha ha!---?
Like I really care that a bunch of business leaders from Amway don’t want to associate with us!---I would really be hurt if I thought that would happen!
So that’s how you end up on the IBO hit list.---The only hit list I know is where every body building this business is a HIT with their family!
You want to quit Amway!---Don't do it!
Freedom is staying with the Amway business!

Amway Teaches Women To Sell Their Bodies And Souls
Is this story made up?
Here’s a tactic that I don’t remember being taught in any meeting I was part of because the women attending Amway meetings were married and maybe that little detail would have stopped them anyway. But there were a couple of single women hanging around, though I think they all had boyfriends, so perhaps when they counseled with upline it came up. Part of Amway teachings is to teach women, though again I’m not sure if this is part of the Amway training for married women, could be I suppose, to basically improve (looks wise) themselves to recruit more men into Amway. Seeing as how I was never part of this training of how women were to appeal themselves better to men I can only guess. Put on more Artistry makeup? Yup go out and buy some more to put on your face. I guess men must find that soooooo attractive. Were women trained how to dress? I can't remember listening to any Diamond’s CD and hear them talking about how IBO's should dress or the message to women attending Amway meetings not to dress like a slut. Though that could be the message some women use when prospecting men into Amway. The picture I'm getting is that women should seduce a man to join up with the Amway business. Of course most men think with their brains and if a woman is coming on to them they can usually spot what they’re interested in. So an IBO woman is all over the man and she is trying to say with her looks hey I’ll get it on with you if you spend $200 to sign up with Amway. Nah! That’s not what they’re teaching women in Amway! Incredible that someone should think that! But then it doesn’t surprise me that some people are strange. Here's a readers story.
Actually, your story is rather similar to behavior I’ve observed from a sibling of mine involved in this. They become friends with strangers, or even pretend to carry on a relationship with anyone just to get to that individual’s friends and family! My niece is incapable now of differentiating people and business. According to my niece’s upline… “Every minute you’re not prospecting someone, you’re losing money!” She specifically flirts with guys to get them to lower their guard against this type of thing. They of course do give in, but not before wanting ‘a little-something-something’ in return!
She once told how she had ENTICED this guy into signing up, but had agreed to going to HIS place to complete the prospecting. Unfortunately for her, the guy wanted a LITTLE favor in exchange for his COOPERATION (she of course didn’t go through with it, and was furious about it), if you know what I mean. I became frantic and questioned her about this, wondering why she would put herself in danger of being raped just for a few dollars and a prospect. She explained to me her upline’s wife had TRAINED them on how to appeal more to the male prospect and use that tactic to manipulate a new prospect into signing up. From what she said, the husband (her upline) was training his guy-ambots on how to do this same exact thing with women-prospects. How to use their charm to entice women to join the business. This deceitful behavior is disgusting, it’s appalling how they have to WHORE themselves out for a dollar a week! Also, my niece takes out that lip-gloss that lights in the dark to get women prospect. I’ve seen this work in person. We were at a wedding, where she automatically got a few women interested in that lip-gloss light thing right after she took it out!
If you think something like this is happening in your group let me know or call Amway HQ and tell them about it!

Dream Stealers
Dream Stealers.
It almost sounds like alien invaders descending from an unknown universe ready to suck out the part of your body where your dreams are kept.
I constantly heard the term “dream stealers” during Amway meetings and then parrotted by my husband.
In an accusatory tone he used to condemn our friends and relatives who didn’t support his business as dream stealers. “They’re trying to steal my dream” or “they don’t want my dreams to come true”. Those were terms he threw at me too as counselled by the leaders in his Amway upline. I was very negative about Amway at the time and I deserved what I got!
Its a stupid term anyway. It is used as a lame excuse by some IBO’s to justify their failure at not making money in Amway. Everyone else is a dream stealer. Always blame other people.
There’s a Disney song about how a dream is a wish your heart makes. If your dream is in your heart then no one can steal your dream. Not without some surgical tools to slice you open and kill you by removing your heart.
So what was mu husbands dream? It was whatever the upline told him his dream was. He was new and didn't know better. It had something to do with leaving me. That was the upline’s dream more than it was his. I don't blame him. I am a real bitch sometimes.
But how many of those upline leaders ever asked me once what my dream was? Not a single one of them. I mean really, why would they? None of them cared that about me to ask.
And they all probably could take a good guess at my answer: “To get my husband the hell away from you bastards and quit Amway!!!” Of course that's all changed now!
What about IBOs who leave the business. They’re also called dream stealers. They’re poison. Stay away from them or they’ll steal your dream too.
A dream is a thought, an idea. Its in your head and in your heart. Its not an actual entity. I’m not sure how you can lose something that is not an object like losing your car keys or your glasses. Or the cat got out of the house and is lost. Or I lost my husband again at Lowes. Someone can steal the keys, the glasses, the cat, maybe even my husband as attempted by the Amway business leaders. If someone steals your car you call the police to report the theft. How can someone steal your dream? Actually they do it by getting you discoraged. It took me a long time to figure that out.
Here’s how I used to think. Here's an imaginary conversation when a really stupid Amway IBO phones the cops:
“Aw, gee, my next door neighbor is a dream stealer and he stole my dream of owning a Porsche. I demand you arrest that son of a bitch and charge him with theft!”
“Dream stealers” is just one of many interesing things I’ve heard spout from the mouths of trained IBOs. Dream stealers can be further defined as losers, failures, and people going nowhere who want to drag you down to their level. Not intentionally but sometime people don't want you to have what they think thay can't get.
The unfortunate reality about “dream stealers” is they are sometimes people who love you and don’t want to see you fail, lose your money in a scam, and suffer from any kind of distress.
Dream stealers have an alternate point of view from the upline and that makes them dangerous people - at least in the eyes of the sack of most Platinums and the other leaders in the Amway upline because they could be responsible for letting your dollar signs slip away.
Is it a bad thing to listen to the “dream stealers”? YES! Aswell as stealing a dream they are really giving bad advice. IBOs think the “dream stealers” are being negative and trying to “steal my dream”. This is true. All they’re doing is trying to prevent the IBO from making good business decisions.
Remember those alien invaders who are sucking the dreams out of your body? They’re not so alien after all. The real dream stealers are the people who actually surround you most of the day. Watch out!

Everybody Needs An Amway IBO Neighbor
Here's a nice laugh for the day! Everybody should dream to have an Amway IBO neighbor

Getting Recruited Into Amway Part 2
This is a continued story and I want to say here that a lot of people figure out really quickly that getting into Amway is a great decision to make and they try to make the best out of it and look forward to making their money back. And then they say hallelujah and run with it.
So after another hazing meeting with the IBO leaders my fiancé and I agree to join up. we fill out all the paper work pay our 'sign on' fee and get everything underway, we get signed up with WWDB and this conference line called Communikate which is the probably the most frustrating thing to use and at 40 a month holy crap that's half my phone bill that I ACTUALLY USE. I don't really think we need but but hey!
So here we are we this business, we are kinda excited cause we get a retail site and etc and we are making the best of it together.
So my upline IBO friend is all excited that we are about to place our first order and we can start making money and be debt free in 12-18 months! I must have missed the part that you had spend 300 dollars just to hit your mark and have other people spend 150~ dollars just to help you hit your mark. After doing the math I would make a whopping 4 dollars extra bonus at first, but wait! I would also get a $50 for a newcomers sign on bonus if I hit my mark!
This is partially my fault for not doing enough research or asking enough questions so I am now in the making the best of it mode.
90% of the products on the site I don't even buy anyways, but I was going to spend money to buy this stuff anyways? I do like their shakes and energy drinks, but I don't buy them on a monthly basis, I don't buy cleaning products on a monthly basis, maybe one every other other month, so now we are finding customers to buy enough to hit our mark and we are up 300 or so dollars for that? $54 bucks that shows up on the 15th.
I was so excited and one foot out the door to celebtrate WITHIN 24 hours of being in amway/WWDB. I texted my upline even though he prefers Kate, but seriously? That system takes like 5 mins to send a 5 second message, talk about adding 9 steps to something.
He calmed us down by saying it just the initial 'shock' that everyone goes through etc etc. I was like whatever man and just went with it. I began to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I figured we were testing all the products and we should see what we should try to give out as samples so the initial cost was whatever.
Then came these optional meetings twice a week for 3 hours starting at 8pm. I didn't think it was that bad but sometimes it was the same people and same presentation.
My fiancé and I were getting extremely demotivated for some reason. As I mentioned before I already figured out the business idea 24 hours in and felt a little bored but tried to turn into a positive.
We went to attend the free enterprise meeting and we walked up to the door and saw the tons of IBO's lining up and about to go in to listen to speaker speak his words of wisdom on how to get rich. We were I think 2nd in line and we were like this is cool and got the best seats and left right after and spent 20 bucks later on a good dinner lol.
I got calls and texts from my uplines asking where we were. I told them we were with a couple of young downlines who didn't want to do this anymore (I did not want to offend so I Didn't say go away I'll deal with this etc etc) and that they were just going to buy and sell LIKE A NORMAL RETAIL SITE DOES. I got a text from my friend IBO and then he tried to call me I was like dude they say this is not what it was presented, even after listening to your CDs it all makes sense. There is a reason they say why you hide the fact its Amway cause of all the bad press it has. You are forcing yourself to believe in something that's not true. Then he tries and say don't listen to no one else just do your research on THE WWDB AND AMWAY sites, o ok cause that's going to be reiable opinions, and only talk to people 'in the business' about stuff o yeah cause IBO's are totally gonna tell the truth of ok bro amway is cool I'll do that lol.
He speaks of power of association, and tries to tell me not to listen to people who don't make a lot of money cause you will be BROKE like them. Hey guess what I make more money than you and 90% of the people that are at your meetings why would I listen to you about making money?
But he is right! Although some of those people he is 'tied' into make their money not from selling amway products but from the monthly fees you pay and for buying tickets to their training seminars.Not everyone does that and the ones who stick to the plan usually succeed.
He got his upline to call me and wanted to have 'a man to man' talk about my concerns and I told him, this upline had a response to everything and he was saying o first you must care about your fiancé if you are just gonna trade time for money like everyone else with a job. I was like are you serious? What I do love is having a business that pays me and not a job that I have to pay it so that I can pay for all this nice stuff and house so that my fiancé and I can come home to dipshit.
O here is my other thoughts about Kate, this thing is sucha POS and 99% of the shit messages I get on there marked 'urgent' is from the platinu or diamond saying how he went to the doctors and his vitamin B levels are low or that he just got out of the shower and wanted us to know he's FIRED UP about how well we are doing. I am learning so much from that input but I really do not like the Kate system.
Seriously? I am paying 40 bucks for a fucking facebook hotline I have to call/login into every few hours? No fucking thanks. I cancelled that shit so fast along with the 'learning' material.
I still do have the site as being a member I get 40 bucks off my phone bill along with other perks that makes up for the 50 bucks I pay a month on it. And I do enjoy some of the products, I do my research and compare prices, I have my opinion of quality. Why the hell would I buy regular laundry detergent for the same price as SA8 clean? Oxy clean works like ok costs the same price and comes with less the amount.
Anways my IBO friend still invites me to the Family reunion that happened last week in Portland. I go but I spend my $555 bucks elsewhere cos I live 10 minutes away why the fuck would I pay for a hotel?
Anways I hope someone enjoys reading this and as I do enjoy reading the blogs and watching the dateline exposing crappy mlm's that are funny straight up cults.
So after another hazing meeting with the IBO leaders my fiancé and I agree to join up. we fill out all the paper work pay our 'sign on' fee and get everything underway, we get signed up with WWDB and this conference line called Communikate which is the probably the most frustrating thing to use and at 40 a month holy crap that's half my phone bill that I ACTUALLY USE. I don't really think we need but but hey!
So here we are we this business, we are kinda excited cause we get a retail site and etc and we are making the best of it together.
So my upline IBO friend is all excited that we are about to place our first order and we can start making money and be debt free in 12-18 months! I must have missed the part that you had spend 300 dollars just to hit your mark and have other people spend 150~ dollars just to help you hit your mark. After doing the math I would make a whopping 4 dollars extra bonus at first, but wait! I would also get a $50 for a newcomers sign on bonus if I hit my mark!
This is partially my fault for not doing enough research or asking enough questions so I am now in the making the best of it mode.
90% of the products on the site I don't even buy anyways, but I was going to spend money to buy this stuff anyways? I do like their shakes and energy drinks, but I don't buy them on a monthly basis, I don't buy cleaning products on a monthly basis, maybe one every other other month, so now we are finding customers to buy enough to hit our mark and we are up 300 or so dollars for that? $54 bucks that shows up on the 15th.
I was so excited and one foot out the door to celebtrate WITHIN 24 hours of being in amway/WWDB. I texted my upline even though he prefers Kate, but seriously? That system takes like 5 mins to send a 5 second message, talk about adding 9 steps to something.
He calmed us down by saying it just the initial 'shock' that everyone goes through etc etc. I was like whatever man and just went with it. I began to see the light at the end of the tunnel, I figured we were testing all the products and we should see what we should try to give out as samples so the initial cost was whatever.
Then came these optional meetings twice a week for 3 hours starting at 8pm. I didn't think it was that bad but sometimes it was the same people and same presentation.
My fiancé and I were getting extremely demotivated for some reason. As I mentioned before I already figured out the business idea 24 hours in and felt a little bored but tried to turn into a positive.
We went to attend the free enterprise meeting and we walked up to the door and saw the tons of IBO's lining up and about to go in to listen to speaker speak his words of wisdom on how to get rich. We were I think 2nd in line and we were like this is cool and got the best seats and left right after and spent 20 bucks later on a good dinner lol.
I got calls and texts from my uplines asking where we were. I told them we were with a couple of young downlines who didn't want to do this anymore (I did not want to offend so I Didn't say go away I'll deal with this etc etc) and that they were just going to buy and sell LIKE A NORMAL RETAIL SITE DOES.

Getting Recruited Into Amway Part 1
One of this blog’s readers was nice enough to share his story about the process of getting recruited into the Amway business. Things are constantly changing within the Amway business. Some IBO shows up again into the prospect’s life, talks about the exciting once in a lifetime business opportunity and now’s the time to get in on the ground floor. Well that's not the new Amway. You’re a few decades too late! Those lines are old. Amway's a new deal out in full force. Its all here. This is everyone’s story. Due to the length this is a 2 part story.
Mid June of this year I get a message from an IBO on a social networking site out of the blue, I mean I've known the guy for 8 years we went to school together had the same car hobbies, but we haven't spoken in a year since we ran into each other at a store a while back.
He messages me asks me how I am doing etc, tells me to text him and we start talking again. He asks if we can meet up to catch up at a local restaurant. So I am like sure why not we get to catch up and I am hungry anyways.
We meet up and we do a little catching up, he asks what I do for a living, etc, and then he mentions how he's working on a 'eCommerce' with a bunch of business partners. So I got a little curious and asked whats it called and what do you 'do'? He didn't tell me the name, but he said that he 'redirects' customers to fortune 500 companies like best buy and sears etc.
He mentions power of association, and that hes connected to the 'right' people. All of which sounded like he read from a script he just put his own flare into it.
I was very neutral about, so I was like 'that's cool that you are doing something' and we just ended with 'we should all go hang again with our girls like a double date or something.'
I don't remember how many days later (wasn't long but lets say 2) he texts me again asks if my fiancé and I are free 8pm on a certain day. I say sure because I am assuming it is this double date he was talking about. Turns out it wasn't obviously. But hey! We show up at his house and there are people are dressed up in suits and might I add these kids are young I am talking like 19 or so and haven't even scratched the surface on 'making a living' or the 'real world' outside the tv show.
So we just sat down and this older dude shows up who is his business partner, he comes in intros himself and starts this presentation stopping every now and then to ask wouldn't it be cool to do such and such and buy such and such with all this money and time? Of course hard to disagree, yeah I would pay off my house if made x amount more. He goes off on how little risk/money it is to get started and if you are a slow starter its fine we have mentors and sponsors to help you get your business going.
Now I am a very analytical person I do financial statements and reports all day long as my career.
I live off the mantra of if its too good to be true it probably is and if it were so easy everyone would be doing it.
But for some reason that night I was like hell why not just look into it? If it costs 100 bucks a month why the hell not I can afford that, that's nothing. My fiancé was fine with it cause she just wanted to support me.
So I show that we are interested and etc, and we get invited to another meeting to meet this 'millionaire' retired at 40 sack of shit platinum as you may call them lol.
I go to this meeting at another IBO's house and holy crap they fit as many people as they could into this mid sized living room, we even got people sitting on the counters in the kitchen and such. Might I add again some of these kids are 18-23 and some older in their 30s and maybe even 40s. But majority of youngsters
This platinum level guy talks on and on how hes connected to the right people, used Costco referral as an example of Amways greatness, and if you get 6 legs and those 6 legs get 6 more legs you can make 5k a month 60k a year with 5-15 hours of time a week. You can retire in 12-18 months and be debt free! The whole crowd is going wild nodding and agreeing clapping and hooting for this dude and I am just sitting there thinking Holy Cow? He goes on and on about how Amway has a bad name cause of X reason and that you shouoldnt listen to X reason and experience it yourself and be the judge for yourself. Now, I have heard of Amway before but I didn't know anything about it so I didn't think anything of it.
He talks on about how you should 'redirect' your spending and others spending habits to go through your personal website. You will pay the same or less is what he says and you generate a commission for 'redirecting' business.
He talks about how you need to do 100pv and get others to do 50pv, but he doesn't yet mention how much it takes to hit those marks. He said we were going to use X amount of money at so and so shopping center anyways so why not just buy from yourself and make/save some money??? Cool idea I'm thinking!
So after the meeting my IBO friend has me meet this platinum at a 1 on 1 and he's like you are a sharp guy you would do great in this 'business' and I was like sure I can look into it more I mean $100 bucks a month is squat and 10 hours a week is whatever anyways.
I go home and do some minor research on Amway and I got a lot of goods AND bads. This was before I found this blog lol. So that did something to help me along fortunately.

Long Lost Friends Armed With Amway Invitations
Be aware of long lost friends who might suddenly contact you out of the blue who want to tell you about this new business they’re involved in or asking you if you’re free or if you hate your job or if you want to start up your own business. Its probably some Amway distributor or its probably a similar MLM business deal. Here’s a reader’s story who tells us that thare are a lot of subltle changes in Amway. The same old 8pm Amway gathering hour meeting time. Get there early to find good seats. Gentle jibes flung at J.O.B.s. A story from the business leader chatting to the followers about how poor they used to be and now thanks to someone who showed them the Amway plan they’re rolling in riches.
And of course the right attitude from anyone who attends an Amway meeting – getting a lot out of it thinking this is amazing!
So here’s what you say to those Amway IBO's with their genuine once in a lifetime opportunity – TELL ME MORE! I REALLY NEED THIS!
Hi Anna, first, I have to say I love your page and “thank you-straight from my heart for your blog!” Second, I went to a night-meeting this past Tuesday with a LONG-LOST-COLLEGE friend I forgot I EVEN knew! We bumped into each other at the gas station…talked some business and before you knew it, I WAS BOOKED in a network business systems, marketing meeting taking place at a Holiday Inn in town.
Currently I’m working on my MBA, certified in bookkeeping with a 9-5 with an “okay” benefits package. So we get to this meeting, it starts at 8 sharp, but we want to be there a few minutes earlier, he said it gets packed and we want to find seats! I ate before we got there, but still asked about snacks, he said there would be (WATER FOR EVERYONE!). We sit, I was introduced, first to a GOOD colleague of his, and later to the business EXPERT at the front of the room chatting away about why a JOB is being a DEAD-BEAT! I heard some “ I used to eat from the dumpster” stories and “we shared a bed-all four of us, at the homeless shelter” testimonials. Then someone showed them the PLAN, and BOOM, they’re RICH!!! All this time I’m waiting for some relevant Independent Business Owner strategies, customer-base, product-marketing, business-promotion techniques…licensing, location…ANYTHING! At around 10pm, the EXPERT guy goes around the meeting room finalizing the recruitment process on some of the other prospects… “Say you’re joining the business to bring change to your family, to bring your family together, to one day provide them with a brilliant future…say it to them with me now (his holding some young couple’s hands and their friends saying this really loudly).
He does this all around the room, holding hands with couples, instructing them on what to say, telling them there is no other way to bring their families hope, support, and unlimited money.
He told me it will never be too late to join, just to make sure I think about it quick, so I can join right in time with the rest of them and be able to retire, making about $20, 000 a week managing my own company and not having to pay for my groceries or having endless discounts on everything I buy or lease (apparently this includes vehicle-leases or financing…WOW!!). My COLLEGE friend said we could get together the following day to help me DIGEST all this NEW information and ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME opportunity…I just had to name the place, the time, and he would bring some of his business partners and if need be someone with a Master’s in Business Administration, they have people from ALL WALKS OF LIFE!!!!!!
I'm glad I answered my cell-phone and looked at my email, and when I see him I’ll just say this is for me…FOREVER! That AMAZING meeting gave me the boost I needed…the way they look at you to encourage you and the way their voices sound so positive makes me really glad I found this…AND I’M A WINNER!!!!!

The Old Amway Are You Free Mantra
Here’s a reader who has an IBO relative. When a person is in the Amway business they’re encouraged to be respectful, mindful, humble peol who care a lot about others. Its all about theie downlines and their ambition to be surrounded with the things in life that really matter. This IBO uses the “are you free” question that Amway encourages their distributors to ask others. The thing with when I put this phrase on my blog such as get your wife free I end up getting potential husbands searching the Internet for free wives. Bizarre. So by putting out the are you free Amway IBO chant I might get a bunch of searchers looking for free girlfriends or something. Oh well. Yup whenever someone you haven’t heard from in years (friend or relative) calls and asks stuff like are you free instead of how are you, how’s the family, what have you been doing lately then they’re probably involved in an MLM business. They need to make up a list of everyone they know and then how to contact these people, start contacting them and inviting them into their Amway business. This reader’s relative is a perfect IBO candidate for Amway and the IBO's are probably most likely love bombing her. She’s a student and will likely graduate because of the Amway teachings that education is an absolute benefit. Really. Whatever you spend on education sould be put to use along with tithing the great Amway code. A financially free IBO will stay in the business forever. Money = everyone outside of Amway wants to be friends with you.
Dear Anna, I LOVE THIS BLOG. Recently a family member who I haven't spoken to in years (despite living in the same city), reached out to me and ask me if I'm free several times after I kept saying that I'm not. No "hello, how are you doing?!" or any form of respect. I'm sure glad she was tenacious. I kept asking her why she wants to meet and she doesn't give me an answer. I found out from other family members that she's a part of Amway and I'm 99% sure that she's trying to recruit me and my husband to build her downline. She never really had friends growing up and apparently, I'm the "big fish" she's trying to catch in hopes that I'll get all of my friends in. I'm glad I found this site so I could inderstand where she was coming from. Everything described her regarding these IBO's describes her personality, exactly from the "keep negative people out of your life and if your friends don't want to be a part of Amway get new friends" mantra to the true Artistry claims. She does not know that I know all about Amway and it's great history so for the sake of improving our relationship even more than it already is, I decided to sign up! I'm happy she's going to excel in life, because she seems to have increased her interest in her education thinking she will be way better and as a by-product also get rich from this. She's been in almost a year now and has made a ton of money. How much longer do you think she'll go on? Forever I think! She is now doing what she she really wants with her life but it bothers me that not enough of our family is in it yet, which is what tears me apart! Thanks and again-- great blog!!!

Freedom! Don't Flush Your Nutrilite Vitamins!
You know how its like when you go to an Amway training conference and the business leader up on the stage leads the IBO's into a chant “Freedom! Flush that stinking job!”
Ya don't ? Well it happened to me one time I think!
So this is my version of the IBO chant. Freedom! Buy those super Nutrilite vitamins!
One morning I heard my husband throwing things into the toilet. Lots of little splashes. Nothing good can ever come of that so I went over to investigate. He was cleaning out his medicine cabinet because we're going to paint the bathroom and need the fixtures off the walls.
The medicines and first aid supplies are kept in another cabinet so I'm wondering just how much aspirin does he have stockpiled in there and if it has all expired. Closer inspection shows he is accidently turfing out Nutrilite vitamins. I'm sure they have expired a long time ago. Its not like we consume a lot of vitamins but he bought them because we needed them for customers (and to get the PV up there). That's part of being in Amway. Buying ebough products that you always need and will always use. One of those bottles was concentrated fruits and vegetables. I mean what was he thinking he was doing thowing that out for? I stock up weekly on Nutrilite concentrated fruits and veggies. Half the time he's with me when I'm shopping and can choose what he wants. I also buy berries and freeze them and we buy frozen fruits and vegetables as needed when not available at the produce store.
The reason we bought those concentrated fruits and vegetables is because of what we heard from the stage. Our Diamond upline telling the IBO's they do need fresh fruit and vegetables and when they can't get then then they will get what they need from buying a bottle of the Nutrilite food supplements. Some of those distributors have degrees as nutritionists too.
But the Nutrilite vitamins didn't all flush. Some of them were sitting there on the bottom of the tank despite several flushes to get them down. That would be him doing the flushing. Then he left the area. But an hour later he came back and said "hey what's that in the toilet?" Honestly I think dementia is setting in.
I mean really! What do you think it is? Who was flushing Nutrilite vitamins I remind him. And then I point out they've been in there for quite some time and they're not flushing. Does that give you any clue what happened next?
So he grabs the plunger and is determined to get those hold out vitamins down the drain.
Brings back visions of using the plunger to deal with the massive dog poos when we used to buy Walmart dog food!
He has decent success with the plunger. Only one Nutrilite vitamin is left in the toilet bowl.
I tell him to leave it in there because I'm curious how long it will take to flush. I came back a couple of hours later to check on it and now it is starting to move a little. I would have left it longer but now I had a bag of dog poop to flush. Don't want to leave that ripening in the house! This time when I flushed the toilet the Nutrilite vitamin disappeared. Perhaps the dog poop dragged it through the hole. Sad end though.
I'm sure glad we're on city sewer and don't have a septic tank! Who knows maybe that Nutrilite will help clean up the septic system!
So this is my version of the IBO chant. Freedom! Buy those super Nutrilite vitamins!

The Amway Win Win Factor
Who saw 48 Hours not too long ago where a man who was a convention planner got murdered in his hotel room? What makes it newworthy is this was the son of the couple who owned the Fountainbleu Hotel in Miami back in its heyday.
Any murder is creepy but the extra creepy factor to this murder is that the convention he was planning was an Amway convention and the murder took place in the hotel room of the New York hotel that Amway was holding the convention.
His wife said when she left the room he was still alive. She had been called downstairs because there was some problem with breakfast.
Now I get to thinking an Amway function that includes breakfast??? Never happened with us that breakfast was included in a Amway conference. The nature of the problem she got called away for was not mentioned on the show. Perhaps the breakfast staff were impressed by the caring attitude those Amway IBO's had towards them and had called the event planner to thank them about how they were being treated. More than likely it was Amway IBO’s who’d called the planner to compliment them about the food. Caviar for breakfast. That’s the thing with Amway IBO's and their their reasoning that they’re not automatiaclly entitled to anything they want just cause they’re in Amway.
The wife is shown on security camera at the dining area hallway. She goes back to the room and the husband is dead and there’s blood everywhere. Her roomcard records the time she returned to the room and the phone call about the breakfast problem is a loose time of approximately when she left the room and she swears she closed the door when she left.
So the cops have a tough issue on their hands. The Amway conference is over that day and 1000 Amway IBO’s are leaving. That’s 1000 witnesses or murder suspects they’ve got to interview and fast.
The even bigger dilemma the cops are facing is that people in Amway are really the good guys so they have to figure out this mess when they’re interviewing 1000 Amway innocent bystanders.
It turns out the wife had her brother in Pennsylvania hire two hit men from Florida do the murder and she was probably in the room watching it happen. It all goes back to greed. She wanted all the money. Not really a good Amway candidate don’t you think!
A financial transaction was traced from her brother to one of the Florida suspects in the amount of $500. I don’t know if $500 was the entire fee or only partial that the cops were able to trace. It also seems a long haul to hire 2 men to travel from Florida to New York to commit the murder especially since the event planners lived in Florida and eventually going home so if you’re going to hire Florida hitmen it makes more sense to commit the murder in that state too.
But the only thing that does make sense is that there were a bunch of caring Amway IBO's staying in the hotel and they’re already there willing to help the cops? They’re good at noticing things. They sure don't need the money. People in Amway are natural talkers who have perfected the art of truth, support and complete. That would help the cops for awhile. Can you just see how the cops are trying to question an IBO and the cop is getting persuaded to sign up with Amway.
Yup the Amway win win factor.
Why didn’t the wife just keep it simple and pay one of the hotel workers to do the deed. IBO's loyalty to truth will have them do just about anything to uphold the law. So don't bother asking them. They also have a good sense of love and devotion of their Amway teachings. If you're not in Amway there is a good chance you are being sucked in by a less reputable MLM company. Possibly even a scam. Don’t think so?
Somewhere in Merchants of Deception the author is talking to a devoted follower of one of the fictional MLM'rs. That guy tells the author he would do anything for his beloved cult leader even kill for him. Lets take another famous cult leader Jim Jones at his Jonestown property in Guyana. He convinces about 1000 cult followers to drink cyanide Kool Aid. We’ll never know how many willingly drank it. Those who didn’t had devoted cult followers who forced it down their throats and others were shot to death. So absolutely cult followers will follow their leader’s demand to murder others. I read a book written by one of Jones lawyers. Him and the other lawyer hid in the jungle while the killing was going on so that’s how they knew what Jones was ordering his followers to do. They heard the loudspeaker announcements, heard the screaming and they heard the gun shots. They stayed in hiding for hours after they heard the last gun shots.
Want a job done? Get a cult leader to order devoted cult followers to do it.
So the wife just needs to approach a cult leader and hand over cash and say get the deed done. But not today because the hotel is full of Amway people. The good guys.
The IBO's in reality were not involved on this one because of the brother and the money trail to the hitmen. But it still happened at an Amway conference.
Yup the Amway win win factor.

What To Do In Portland Oregon Aswell As The Amway WWDB Free Enterprise Days 2013
Amway Worldwide Dream Builders WWDB is holding Free Enterprise Days in Portland Oregon October 11 to 13 2013 at the Portland Memorial Coliseum.
I’m just copying these optional things to do in Portland when attending an Amway business building conference and pasting from previous blogs I posted.
Sorry Portland! I think I already covered what I deem to be your highlights before!
I read an article about the top 10 cities for foodies and surprisingly enough to me Portland Oregon was on the list.
Super-green Portland has earned a reputation for its farm-to-table dining, well-crafted microbrews, w popular — including Namu, excellent Korean-Hawaiian fusion — check out the food truck “pods” at Pioneer Courthouse Square or at SE Hawthorne and 12th Avenue. And don’t be fooled by the notion that these Oregonians are totally health-conscious: another culinary must-stop is Voodoo Doughnuts for its bacon-topped maple bar and the breakfast-cereal-crusted “Captain My Captain.” The original article is here. http://travel.yahoo.com/p-interests-40686622
Did that article just say Voodoo Doughnuts! Sounds like my kind of place! A little Google search and I found the web page. http://voodoodoughnut.com/index.php Over 90 different donuts! I want one of those Voodoo doll donuts! I get a lot of searchers for “Amway help” finding their way to Anna Banana’s blog. Maybe because these IBO's aren’t getting quality help because they’re always out sponsoring!? Voodoo Doughnuts can help those feed those in the Amway business with the donut creation On-The-Board.
A Google search tells me that Portland has a lot of museums and Oriental inspired gardens and parks. Not really my thing but certainly if someone was kind enough to invite me and I still might choose to go to the Amway WWDB function. If I did go to a museum, I’d go to the The Hat Museum. Admission is $15, sure it's cheaper than being in the same room as a bunch of super Diamonds encouraging IBO’s but I'd still go to WWDB. http://www.thehatmuseum.com
The last time I did a post like this someone who must have been there added into comments to visit the Pittock Mansion. Admission is $8.50 for adults and slightly less for other age groups. http://pittockmansion.org/
No one will want to miss the Church of Elvis Its in the store window of a shop in Chinatown. Has a coin operated movie that you can plug from the sidewalk. So I’d call it nearly free. Spooky coincidence but all the delegates attending Family Reunion will also be up and about pretty much 24 hours a day because the training techniques work better with all that adrenelin rushing through your body. But I’d rather hear what the Platinum has to say at 2 in the morning than the Church of Elvis movie at an all-nighter! http://www.24hourchurchofelvis.com/
House Spirits Distillery tour and tasting. Yummy! Have to be 21. There is a fee for tasting but if you buy a bottle it will be waived. This will make an excellent gift for your upline Amway IBO! http://housespirits.com
Widmer Brothers Brewing Free tour. Free beer. Need I say more? http://widmerbrothers.com
The Oregon Zoo Adult admission is $11.50 for adults. A little cheaper for other age groups. It’ll be fun to visit the bear exhibit and imagine bringing your upline to the to see them too! http://www.oregonzoo.com
For anyone really interested in visiting Portland, Oregon and doing tourist attraction things see Trip Advisor http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attractions-g52024-Activities-Portland_Oregon.html#TtD for suggestions. Most attractions are museums and parks.

Come To The Light - We Have Amway Products
Ever notice with IBO's how they gush about how wonderful Amway products are. They are "high quality". They are priced appropriately - read into that unique, competitive, etc - for their high quality. Gush gush enthusiasm. The only way you too can get some of these Amway products is if you cross into the light and sign up as an Amway IBO. There's no secret club. It's not a secret buyers club.
And these leaders have found that the best way they can invite people to sign up to be an Amway IBO is because they can now buy and sell Amway products? Quality products for quality people is a brilliant slogan perhaps?
Before we signed up we went to a grand opening at the house of the IBO who ended up sponsoring us into Amway. This is someone we've known for a long time. My husband knows his brother, met him first many years ago, and over the years met the lovely brother who ended up sponsoring us into Amway. Fortunately our paths haven't crossed again and again over the years. Usually at his brother's house or a few other places over the years. Though one brother was never able to sponsor his brother and wife into Amway, which was sad. So here we are at this lunch thing and who's there. Brother and his wife. They became smart enough and finally get involved. Anything he's in they want to be in. I told my husband dont't go out of here without signing up or at least buying some Amway products.
I eventually wandered over to see what the wife thought of this Amway business and the great products. She was standing at a table loaded with a good range Amway products. She gives me some insights about how they changed their buying habits to shop from their own store and when their relatives want to buy things for them. She was totally clear on what things these relatives were tripping over each other to buy. These IBO's encourage all of their friends to shop from their store too. It seems to me she's really thrilled about this Amway business and certainly acts like she's gung ho about their new business.
Back outside with the Amway good old boy's club other people have shown up to talk to the platinum in training or whatever the level he is. Just another hardworking Amway IBO as far as I'm concerned. No wife in sight though. I can't understand why. Going to Amway events without your spouse is a waste of time.
Actually I did see the sponsor's or the platinum's wife at some Amway meetings later and I was busting my butt to talk to them. Don't be someone who think you're the only one who has better things to do with your time than go to Amway meetings? There's a lot going on you can learn.
Since heard that the platinum in training or whatever new Amway title he has taken his wife back to Iowa or wherever he came from. Went home to a proud mommy and his home town because of his supportive, christian dreambuilding wife who was positive in helping his business. Most of his downline have grown bugger as is the case with most IBO's who build strong within a year or so. Lifers like him will always keep finding new people to talk to and sell the dream and help them make more money.
Cross into the light for your Amway products. Stay in the dark side and lead a life of misery. The Amway future awaits: success, no credit card debt, lots og savings, no chance of bankruptcy or foreclosure.
Come into the light - we have Amway products.
Stay out of the dark side. Life is so much better when you are putting Amway products on your shelf.

Amway Will Save Your Life
People are finding their way to this blog after searching for “Amway will save your life”.
I’ve seen a lot of people leave comments on the Internet including this blog about the financial and emotional satisfaction that Amway "inflicted" upon them. 99% of IBO’s who sign up to be commissioned sales agents with Amway will make money. That’s just the way the system is designed and part of the reason that Amway is known as a great, a succesful, and wonderful opportunity.
The minimum monthly amount of business volume an IBO has to generate in purchasing or selling Amway products is about $300 to reach 100PV that magical number at which Amway will send out a commission check of about $10. But it don’t stop there. Completely optional you might want to spend $50/month for premier membership to WWDB (World Wide Dream Builders) another $35 for monthly Communikate services, say at least $50/month buying helpful motivational CDs and books, going to Amway meetings, going out of town to Amway functions you have to consider ticket costs plus transportation, food, hotel, etc. Call it an average of $700/month if you even get to spend that much and if you attend all of the functions over a year. That is a good estimate if you don’t want to be really serious about attending Amway meetings. CORE IBO's or at least those who want to duplicate their upline's success will probably spend much more than $300/month on purchasing and selling Amway products and a little more if they join the optional business tool system.
How much you money you make depends on how long you stick it out in your Amway business. Could only be a few hundred bucks to several thousand to tens of thousands of dollars in earnings. Much of those earnings come from bonus payments, selling the top of the range products and using the profit to “invest” in your Amway business. You eventually get to the point where you never need to take out bank loans.
Some people can bounce back from financial losses in less reputable business ideas. A lot depends on how much they lost and how much income they currently earn. A person in their 20’s who loses $50,000 is more likely to recover than a senior citizen who wiped out their entire savings buying into scam or other instead of joining the Amway opportunity. In many cases even though an IBO may have been involved in Amway for only a year or two it takes most a much shorter time to recover financially from those other "ventures". Some IBO's previously took harder hits than others and had to declare bankruptcy. But Amway saved the day! Other IBO's lost their houses because their previous "business partners" counselled with them to skip a few mortgage payments in order to afford to go to the next so called function and the bank foreclosed on them.They to benefitted by joining Amway
Here’s a tip. If you’re planning to skip a mortgage payment talk to your bank first. Some banks allow their customers to skip a month due to temporary financial setbacks. Other banks let their customers skip a few payments but require them to make up the payments over the next few months adding on extra amounts to the mortgage payment until they’re caught up. If you skip a mortgage payment because you need to money to fund your Amway business you are doing it wrong. That should never by necessary. Don't set goals and stiff the bank without first discussing it with the manager. They’re not going to be very happy. Banks don’t want to foreclose. They don’t really want to deal with selling someone’s house. They just want their money and Amway will supply plenty of it!
Its like the Amway business leaders. They really do want to help their downline - they just want to help them make money.
Another way Amway saves people’s lives is by building firm relationships. The Amway business leaders start out by encouraging the IBO's and anyone else in their lives who are in Amway. That takes care of a lot of friends and family. If the IBO’s wife has an interest in Amway and likes the sound of the Amway leaders then they work hard at encouraging the IBO to strenghten the relationship because the Amway leaders know that the spouse usually likes to get control of the finances and manage the flow of money in the family. But always the IBO is taught to put the family first. There’s no room for marriages ending in divorce thanks to Amway.
Amway saves many lives and people take to the Internet to share their Amway success stories. Thats why at Amway meetings the Amway leaders ask the IBO's to look out for “negative” information on the Internet about Amway and just ignore it as immature, childish and uninformed nonsense. According to Amway leaders the Internet is sometimes a bathroom wall polluted by losers and quitters as well as a great source of positive information. After all we do live in the real world!
And of course everyone finds their way to Anna Banana’s chamber of Amway success stories telling about the treatment you’ll receive from Amway leaders and this is the heaven you have to look forward to if you decide to join Amway - being built up by your upline.
So one more time I send out a big old THANK YOU to two of the biggest good natured people around who took time out to save our lives - the IBO that sponsored us into Amway and our wonderful Platinum!

Amway Helps Another Family
Here’s a comment left by one of my readers even though its short its facinating on so many levels.
I can now afford the meds I need to regulate my moods, we're a year ahead on our property taxes, and thank goodness my wife decided to get into into Amyway. She even lets us know now and again how much harder it would be to do if she didn't have a family helping her along.
Very clearly Amway is helping this person/family’s finances, health, and relationship. That’s what being in Amway is all about.
Here’s someone who has doctor prescribed medication and can now afford it because every extra spare penny earned has come from the Great Amway God and buying great value for money Amway products and investing in the Amway business model. You can be pretty certain the leaders in this Amway upline have convinced them that Amway Nutrilite vitamins and Perfect Water will help in their daily lives and they should be taking those products to compliement what the doctor prescribes.
Yikes ahead on property taxes. Another Amway success story where the business leaders encourage their IBO's to contribute more to the mortgage, rent, and other bills in order to demonstrate to others at Amway functions just how to get along, oh and to buy Amway products. All part of the greater plan to cause financial distress to their followers. Missing any type of bill is never a good thing but property taxes means if you skip paying them long enough the city will sieze your house and sell it at auction. All cities are different. Taxes can run hundreds of dollars a year to thousands a year. They’ve got to make arrangements with the city or their bank or a family member who can loan them money. Anything. But fortunmetly not for these people. Amway wont let them take away their house.
Then the great thing it seems like the wife is the one all gung ho on Amway. It could have been both of them to start with but the husband was slow at first but finally figured out Amway is a great money making opportunity and it costs almost nothing to be a part of it. Usually it’s the husband who’s all gung ho. Sorry men not trying to be sexist or anything here but the Amway meetings I went to were choked with men and some of them were accompanied by wives and girlfriends but the majority of IBO's are men because Amway can sometimes be a good old boy’s club although there is nothing wrong with that!
Wife is making statements about the family is helping her along. Gee where can I get some of that? Being encouraged by the leaders in her Amway upline preaching that positive Amspeak about how they will support your Amway business = christian positive dream makers and invites anyone who does want to join the Amway business.
Why do people allow Amway to into their lives. Why do people love the leaders in their Amway upline so much they’ll let those people boost their finances and relationships? Getting encoraged in this business will change your life. Nothing brings more happiness to the leaders in the Amway upline than helping people’s lives. I don't know which line of sponsorship this reader belongs to but WWDB World Wide Destructive Business Leaders comes to mind.
It looks like Amway is about to create some more millionaires. In this case they will never have to face foreclosure, bankruptcy, divorce, and mental health deterioration.
I'm glad this family is getting the peace they deserve and away from this sometimes horrible Amway life.
Yup this is a good time to be in Amway and be a leader that helps other people’s lives.

What's There To Do In Irvine, California Instead of WWDB Amway Fed 2013
Here's another of my guides about some other things to do in town while attending an Amway function.
This year WWDB Amway Free Enterprise Days will be held in Irvine, California September 27 to 29 2013 at the Bren Events Center.
You can reach a lot of attractions and beaches inside an hour or so drive of Irvine and I think most people are aware of these places so there's not much more I can say. And just a heads up. Every attraction and beach is gonna charge you more than a few bucks to park in their lot. There is no shortage of shopping and large malls in the area like the Irvine Spectrum Center or the South Coast Plaza. Good places to come and spend your money shopping if you're married to a successful IBO in Amway!
Disneyland is the big attraction in southern California and Anaheim is not too far from Irvine and its really nice if you feel the need to take a quick break during WWDB Amway FED. Prices recently went up and a one day ticket costs $92 if you're older than 10. Slightly less if you're under 10 and different prices if you're buying a 2 day package or California resident or buy in advance. By the time you pay for parking, buy a ticket, eat meals in the park, and buy souvenirs, you're probably pretty close to realising you should have stayed at FED but it is a whole lot of fun at Disneyland!
Orange County Zoo is inside Irvine Park and is a pretty good deal at $2. Check out the bears. Hours are 10am to 3:30pm. http://www.irvineparkrailroad.com/content/orange-county-zoo
I'm going to throw in Knott's Berry Farm even though its not my favorite park there are people who would probably want to go there seeing as how its cheaper than Disneyland. One day pass is $62 and less if you're under 12 or a senior. Also less if you buy tickets ahead of time online. There always seem to be coupon books flying around with discounts to Knott's. Also Knott’s Scary Farm is opening the same weekend as FED. This will be a tough one to choose whether to get uplifted at an Amway conference or scared at Knott’s. http://www.knotts.com/
There are lots of beaches in the area. Head the car to PCH and drive north or south until you find a beach you like.
Or get out of Irvine and spend a day at Universal Studios or take a tour of the star's homes. Or down to San Diego to visit the zoo or Sea World. Everything you want is inside a 2 hour drive. I have a few favorite things that I like to do that are free except for the parking and not in this area - hint hint go north go south. I know I'll be stayin' at FED!
This year WWDB Amway Free Enterprise Days will be held in Irvine, California September 27 to 29 2013 at the Bren Events Center.
You can reach a lot of attractions and beaches inside an hour or so drive of Irvine and I think most people are aware of these places so there's not much more I can say. And just a heads up. Every attraction and beach is gonna charge you more than a few bucks to park in their lot. There is no shortage of shopping and large malls in the area like the Irvine Spectrum Center or the South Coast Plaza.

Nothing Ever Changes In Amway
Here’s a reader who tells us how much has changed for him in Amway in the past 20 years. The training tapes IBO's were encouraged to buy are now CD’s. The story is a similar one for many people who’ve gotten into Amway. A couple looking to make a better life, have extra money, have the wife be a stay at home mother. Dream Night = hope. 40 people in a hotel room at an Amway function. Maybe some sleep. Love bombing. Having words like winner and achiever ingrained into their heads from the leaders in their Amway upline. No fear of being ostracized keeping them in the Amway business. Figuring out Amway is a winning business opportunity. Promoting Amway products. Savings increased. Credit cards irrelevant. Vacationing a lot of the time. Being financially free. How many times has this story been told? Get involved in Amway and step into a brave new world.
Every now and then I get an urge to look up the latest info on the Amway world. So this time I landed on your blog and I'm glad I did.
My wife of twenty five years and I were invited onto the soap enriched slopes of Mt Amway back in the early 90's after we were first married. We were a couple of wide eyed 23 yr olds who wanted simply to help ourselves financially by making that extra few hundred bucks a month and buy products we were already using from ourselves. Sound familiar?
Our sponsor was a guy I went to school with. It all seemed pretty good until we attended our first function, a Dream Night if I recall. We were blown away. We were newly married and as such didnt have a lot of money. We did have good credit however. So we paid for this with mostly credit, partly cash, all with the blessing of our upline direct. It seemed at first quite expensive even with like forty of us attending in a room in Richmond. And we didnt sleep all damned weekend. And above all I was very unfamiliar with a lot of what was being said but tried to keep an "open mind".
But I digress. After this I began discovering facts and crunching numbers and realized in the back of my mind that this was a winning proposition. I wanted to give it a fair shake and I'm not a quitter, and my bride whom I did and do love dearly, was all in. So we continued. For two long years and the birth of our first child. His birth caused us both to take a long look at how we were spending our resources and we finally had the clarity of mind to say this is amazing.
The attraction for her was the people. You know the ones who hug you incessantly and tell you they love you? The ones who tell you how great you are, you're a winner, and all the other good stuff? I'm not really a touchy feely guy and wasn't really into that but she was raised in a home where praise and encouragement came at a premium. She lapped it up. For me it was the desire to achieve success for me and my wife and honestly, I wanted her to be proud of me like those gals up on stage were proud of their hardworking hubbies. (I hear a whole bunch of them have grown to achieve better things and are now financially free).
I have to this day no real idea how much we might have lost had we not gotten in. I know it added a huge dimension to our married life because of the bills we racked up and were able to immediately take care of. By the time we had an established downline group we were flat financially comfortable, the cards were no longer required, the savings were secure, and we were agreeing with each other over everything. No more tension about money, or rather the lack of it. And there was enough LOC in our closet to float a battleship. Everybody loves that stuff. It is always helping us, the Amway deal set us up with a good five years head start to a financially free situation.
Today I would tell everyone to get involved, and as a young and gullible man I was lucky enough to be invited right in. And I actually cried. I went out and met people. You know, "cold contacting" and setting up "QI's" and the whole tamale. Went to the meetings, conventions, and slept 3-4 hours a nite. Always made enough to cover the gas and the food, the hotel rooms. Looking back it was like escaping from a booby hatch. After probly a year of Amway influence, tapes in our car tape deck,(no they weren't CD's they werent invented yet) and telling every upline IBO who called to come over we're having a bbq, we were free. We are now approaching our Silver we're in Amway-Thank You Lord Anniversary. Carry on your good work, Anna Banana.

Critical Mass Is Impending Screech Out The Mis-Informed!
Critical mass is impending? Doom and gloom is upon us? Sounds like something has gone badly wrong in a break out sect of some wierd church!
Critical mass was something we never heard at Amway meetings. “Now is the time to get into Amway and start building your Amway business! The Amway business is exploding and now is the time to get in and collect the benefits of getting into Amway in time. But never "before we reach critical mass. Before its too late. Don’t miss the bus.” Blah blah blah. We are not open to that effect.
We were always told that we’d come “on board” at just the right time. “Now is the beginning of what is gearing up to be a huge increase in Internet sales of Amway products. Exciting changes are just about to happen in the Amway business. This is huge!”
Yup all the good reasons to get involved with our business.
I heard this message in a pitch years ago the first time we signed up for Amway! And people leaving comments on this blog are saying they heard it too from the Amway team leaders like last week. The only change is making more money thanks to more Amway ideas being on the scene - Communikate, WWDB premier membership, etc - we decided to invest more heavily into Amway’s business plan.
To further punctuate that we’d gotten on board with Amway at just the right time when the Amway business is about to explode we were shown charts of how this trend was projected to occur over the next few years with sales going up. This chart was part of the business plan flip cards that were shown at every Amway meeting. The hard working Platinum used to flip the chart upside down and say those were the statistics of people who aren’t in Amway. Doomed not to have any savings and work a job until they were 65 years old at which time they’d automatically either die or be broke.
There have been some major changes in Amway but whether or not they’re exciting depends on whether or not you’re an IBO. Or married to one. Like me! I love him!
Once my husband was immersed in the Amway business ethict these are the exciting changes I observed in him:
1. he got into some great debates with people he normally got along well with and they decided to come to our Amway meetings
2. he encouraged people who had J.O.B.s and hadn’t considered Amway a viable career choice before
3. he was very kind to friends who at first weren’t interested in supporting his business but who now are buying all of our Amway products
4. he dropped whatever he was doing to respond to phone calls or text messages from the people in his downline who needed him to help them wherever they were for whatever they deemed was important
5. he quoted Amway speak (our little joke ) constantly and learned from our upline. Like listen up! Everybody should at least consider Amway! We now notice how everybody talk to us and everyone invites us over for dinner a lot?
6. he evaluted everything he and I did and how it was making us money in our Amway business.
7. he had the idea that his upline sponsor was some sort of business god only by virtue of the fact that he had brought him into the Amway sytem and he might just be right
8. he became busier around the house keeping his Amway inventory in check wherever he happened to be and always put the consumed items containers into the garbage or recycling bin. Part of the Amway good business practice teachings.
9. he uses his credit card wisely for Amway related purchases including sometimes treating the entire upline out for meals. Alwaysthough it is used for buying Amway products so he could serve his downlines better.
10. he became increasingly assured, assertive, wise, and attentive
11. he assured everyone with different points of view (from his upline) that this is the way to go
12. have I mentioned how INCREDIBLE he was to anyone who didn’t immediately share his view on how wonderful, amazing, etc etc the Amway business is.
Yeah he is a real joy to live with! The IBO lover from Amway heaven! Supported by some great people in our upline. A Super IBO!
The changes since he got into of the business and away from being worn down by the people he used to work with have been a lot more positive such as becoming a nice person again. With the upline’s help he claims that being in Amway makes you a nicer person - we say this to remind people about the money they’re not making by not being in Amway- I’m here to say that NO WAY IN HELL does being an Amway IBO make someone a loser. As a business like group of team leaders they all put on a good show at Amway functions and seminars and in private they’re the same happy, loving, approachable people. making lots of money in the Amway business can change a person’s perspective on life and really help you understand the needs of other.
Dealing with our upline team leaders who help some IBO’s understand the reason they’re not succeeding in the Amway business is because they’re trying too hard in the wrong direction or because their approach needs adjusting, but thy do it because they care..
No matter what some other people might say about how Amway brings exciting changes to people’s lives, I’m here to say watching someone getting boosted by the Amway business is an exciting thing to watch. Its a ascent into heaven.

August 26 - 3 Years Baby!
This bunch of bananas has come a long way in 3 years since Married to an Amway IBO was born. Over 450,000 visitors have stopped by. Wow! Right now the blog is running at about 1000 visitors a day. Not a whole lot when compared to other web pages but probably more than Amway employees expect to hear about readers who enjoy coming here to read about Amway success stories.
A big thanks to all the bananas who make the blog possible. Most importantly a big thanks to the banana loving readers who find something of value or entertainment and keep coming back keeping us keeping on. Thank you to everyone who has helped out by contributing stories, moderating the comments, posting and keeping things up and running on this site and all those long phone conversations sharing our Amway stories. I’m not sure this blog could exist without all the support. Thank you thank you!
I especially want to everyone who contributed stories over the past year. Really stepped up to keep content coming on this blog. And really we all have the same story just told slightly differently. The Amway theme of making money, creating new relationships, being ebcouraged by the leaders in our Amway upline, the whole business – everyone’s been there.
After pretty much everyone in my former Amway upline quit Amway or got fired and defected to Monavie it kind of threw a wrench at me. Its just not as much fun without out these suckers sometimes seeing as how they’re no longer with Amway. Nothing like taking the fun out of some of them with this blog because those bastards don’t want anyone to have fun with but you know just push past it. One of my friends compared it to bitching out an ex boyfriend all the time and then you hear he died in a horrible death in a car crash then its just not so much fun trashing him anymore.
But I know they’re still the same type of leaders preaching the same or similar story and as far as they’re concerned they found a better way to make money.
Some readers have told heart wrenching stories about how Amway has saved their lives. Many readers stop by and thank us for letting them know what really happens when you’re right inside the Amway business and how its stopped them from making the mistake of not joining. Other readers have a loved one who has devoted their life to building the Great Amway Opportunity and come here share. Then there’s the Amway employees who stop by for a drive to support us with their what we lovingly call Amspeak. Some of them are pretty funny like one employee from customer service who can’t spell worth a shit. You know who you are!
So thank you to all the bananas who love this blog and make it all worthwhile.
Happy birthday to Married to an Amway IBO!

Trying To Order The Amway Kool Aid
A reader stopped by my blog a few months ago and we had a small exchange. She said she got what I was saying and the Amway people she was dealing with were really nice and had convinced her this was a great business opportunity and she wanted to try Amway and see what happens. This blog exists to let people know what people in Amway are really like. They’re the nicest and kindest people I know who take great delight in creating and helping other people’s relationships and business's. Ecouraging them in believing they can make a big impact in our society by helpin others. We’re here to help other people avoid the emotional and financial distress some people go through. It's great that some people get fired up Amway IBO's who are also very charismatic and good sales closers and want to be your new BFF. I especially enjoy the love bombing and the feeling of belonging. Our uplines will sometimes even pray with people to help find what they’re lacking in their life and to help them get it. It doesn’t give me any pleasure to say I told you so when people decide not to try Amway and end up abused and devastated. And here's something to remember when considering signing up to Amway, if your upline has anything to do with your job or how you make a living that could really be useful when you decide to get out of the J.O.B and they assist you taking your new steps into a brave new world. Amway according to them is a great opportunity for all people. So do it. Get involved in Amway.
I don't even know where to start. I would however, like you to say out loud, Anna- "I have to tell you." I read your blog back in the beginning of April, before I was convinced to sign up as an IBO and join in this great scheme. The person who sponsored me is my personal trainer, as well as my client in my real job- Advertising Manager for our local paper. I totally trust him (and still do in other aspects of life) and I let my trust of he and his wife bring me on in the business. I spent hours at open meetings, went to a conference at the end of April and am now seeing a more than a little reward for making a small amount of contacts, buying my tickets for summer conference, and I going to a meeting I have to drive 3 hours for tomorrow- a Saturday night in the beginning of summer.
I am a successful, college graduate, single woman. I am 30 years old. I have so many other things I could be doing on a Saturday night then driving for 3 hours, paying a $15 fee and listening to some pep talk. The truth is I love it!.
Even before I signed up, CDs and books were offered to me to listen and read. I love to read and have found the books quite useful- in my personal and professional life. However, the CDs make me feel like I am there in the room with the speaker. I was told to listen to them whenever I was in the car. I do because I happen to like TALKS! I especially like cussing, and drinking, maybe some dancing. I also like using some of my free time to RELAX!
I have been getting some great sleeptime and honestly, doing my real job to it's full potential because I am so happy about pleasing my upline and the team! I feel like I am in an wonderful relationship and I'm becoming empowered in my personal life. Everything I have read written by you and by the comments, is so true. It's crazy how this hasn't affected so many more people's lives.
I started dating a few weeks ago and my sponsor (also my trainer and client that I go to see 3 days a week) says, "Congratulations! When was I going to find out about him? Oh, he's gotta come to a meeting. We can help you build a stronger business as a couple if you like". WOW!! I didn't think they could care so much and it's awful that I feel ashamed not telling them sooner I am involved with this guy!! But I've only been in since mid-April.
One thing I will say that stands out about this experience is that I have met a lot of positive and happy people - well, at least all the ones I've met so far.
I will never quit, but I am shaking with excitement at the thought of moving forward. I am not losing sleep because this business builds security, I need my upline to continue his advertising with me and I need to keep working out. I'm excited. I am a grown woman!! I'm glad he had the gumption to invite me into this business. I want to do that with my friends or people I know. I want to expose them to this great opportunity, and yes, it is quite exclusive. I even looked up the exact definition so that I wouldn't get it wrong calling it that. I drank the kool-aid. I am just trying to order some more.
Sorry for the long rambling. I guess this was also a way for me to share my feelings.

Amway ABO Work Week
Ever go to an Amway meeting and hear the leader tease the audience who work jobs by saying "C'mon guys..don't you know you are trading hours for dollars?".
To that I say its better to be in Amway then trading hours for pennies!
Money and time. We all have the possibility to make more money. Especially if you’re in Amway. But we can’t make more time.
We all have the same 168 hours in a week. So lets break down a typical workers week. And lets say the worker has a regular full time job. Let’s call it 50 hours a week for the dreaded J.O.B. plus travel time getting to and from work.
That leaves 118 available hours. However most ABO's work from home so we're back to 118 in an ABO's week.
Let’s take morning. Get up and do all the stuff you have to get done especially if you’re getting kids off to school. Let’s call it 2 hours each morning for 5 mornings in a work week.
Knock off 10 hours to leave the ABO with 158 available hours.
And seeing as how we’re on 10 hours lets call that the amount of time an ABO has to spend on their cell phone dealing with phone calls and texts from the uplines or downlines in their Amway busines every week.
148 hours left in the ABO’s week.
The ABO is decides to listen to some training CD’s or read an Amway recommeded book for at least 15 minutes a day. I want to deal in round numbers so call it 2 hours a week absorbing useful information to help poromote your Amway business.
146 hours left.
What about Amway meetings? This will vary depending if there’s a weekend event going on which could possibly tie up the entire weekend and suck away quite a few hours. For the sake of argument let’s say there’s not. Amway meetings usually start at 8pm and last 2 to 3 hours where the board plan is shown and then there might be some product training or night owl or whatever is deemed important on the evening. Serious business builders will show up to Amway meetings an hour before they begin, so 7pm so you can sit around and chat with the other ABO's. Then there’s travel time to get there and back. ABO's can sometimes attend up to least 3 meetings a week and that means investing around 6 hours a night = 18.
146 hours less 18 hours.
128 hours.
How many hours a week does an ABO spend prospecting others? Extreme cases may go to Barnes & Noble, Safeway, the mall, gas station, wherever the ABO can source prospect. Phoning people they know inviting them to come to Amway meetings or buy Amway products. I’ll call that the 10 to 15 hours/week your leaders advise you to spend working Amway in your part time though it might take more hours than that to line up prospects and work on your name list. Call it 15 hours.
That leaves an ABO 113 hours in their week.
How many times in a week does someone in your Amway upline phone you and ask if they can chat a while?. You might decide to drop whatever you’re doing and haul ass to go and see him or her. Or counseling with upline? Lets lowball it and call it 5 hours a week spent time traveling and talking with your upline.
113 – 5. Do I need the calculator? Yup. I’m bad with numbers. 108!
How much sleep does an Amway ABO need? How much they need and how much they get when they’re done doing the Amway thing for the day ain’t gonna be the same answer. Who remembers hearing Amway leaders saying you can sleep when you’re dead followed by the Amway ABO chuckle HUA HUA HUA. OK! They were joking but let's get real! Let’s call it an ABO sleeps 35 to 40 hours a week. And just so I don’t need to get the calculator out again lets call it 40 hours week. Slightly less than 6 hours sleep a night.
108 hours from above - 40 hours sleep.
That leaves an ambot 68 hours in their week to eat dinner every night and spend quality time with their family or visit friends or hang out or spend time on hobbies and that will mostly be on the weekends. See? When you’re an Amway ABO you have a lot more time to do stuff than if you had to work really long hour in a regular J.O.B!.
Remember when I said you can’t make more time.
Join Amway and that frees up at least 50 hours/week!
And the best thing is you’ll be saving money again instead of frittering away on junk food and TV.
To that I say its better to be in Amway then trading hours for pennies!
