Amway Success - What are your odds?

October 10th, 2008 | Posted in Jon Taylor

A common cry of the anti-Amway zealots is that the “odds” or “chance” of an individual being successful in Amway are low. They’ll typically look at some of Amway’s published statistics, such as the fact that in 2005, .0120% of “Direct Fulfillment IBOs of Record” qualifed at the Diamond level, and claim that your “odds” [...]

Idle gossip from idle minds - another example of a clueless Amway critic

August 23rd, 2008 | Posted in Critics of Amway

In my opinion all he successfully did was prove the point of the post - he’s clueless about the Amway business, how it works, [...]

The Internet War Against Amway

July 14th, 2008 | Posted in Commentary, Critics of Amway

This is perhaps the most important post I have written, it’s my hope that Amway and the IBOAI is reading.
It’s been my opinion that a major component of Amway’s struggles for growth, particularly in english speaking markets, has been the Internet and Amway’s misguided decision some years ago to effectively leave Internet discussion about [...]

Well known anti-Amway zealot Scott Larsen has finally posted his comments on the BERR vs Amway UK Judgement. What’s interesting is that he says -

You can, like I did when writing these articles, find out in moments all about the amygdala. You can check for train timetables in Stockholm, or, quite literally look at [...]

GroupThink

February 10th, 2008 | Posted in Critics of Amway

Critics of the Amway business often claim we are somehow "brainwashed" into all thinking the way our upline wants us to. We just blindly repeat "tapespeak" without actually thinking about what it is we say, and us just blind devotees of "the system".
Some folk need a mirror.
On Friday an appeals court announced it’s opinion in [...]

The JoeCool Threat Story Pt.2.

January 16th, 2008 | Posted in JoeCool

In order to try and keep the “standard” of this site at a reasonable level, I’ve now made The JoeCool Threat Story only available to registered users who have logged in to the site, something which in hindsight I probably should have done initially.
It seems to me there are a number of folk commenting on [...]
