Have you heard this: If you don’t make a Dollar, I won’t make a penny?
Yes, may be many times from the mouth of your upline! When he sponsored you or when he was showing the plan for sponsoring somebody for you!
You’re impressed! I too was impressed with these words.
So, I got a feeling that he will make $$ only if I make $$!
So, he will work hard to make my business successful!
That’s how I felt when I saw the Quixtar business plan. That’s the commission structure of quixtar!
Wow I am relaxed; somebody will work for me. He started calling me every night over phone. He is guiding me to go to Open meeting. He’ll follow up with me for attending the PASE meetings. I am so happy. It doesn’t cost me much.
I was happy about this business. An open meeting is just $5/ week. Not bad at all! By going there, You learn to show the plan! Great! You can take any of your friends as guest FREE OF COST! Great Great! After a while you’re told to attend a conference which cost $100 in which 30,000 millionaires will come and teach you to be successful! Another couple of bucks for stay at the hotel and traveling!
And this conferences happens 4 times a year…And you’ll have to attend all these to learn more. It all costs couple of dollars as per my upline!
I already spend $1500 in the past 6 months for sustaining “my business” just for purchases. And I got $ 45 as performance bonus.
So what would you think?
I just made $45 from my business. So, my upline will get just $ 7-8 as commission from my business.
If you think so, you’re missing something! Seriously something!!
It took me little while to realize that “REAL MONEY” (I mean Profit) IN QUIXTAR BUSINESS DON’T COME FROM PURCHASING. BUT FROM OTHER SOURCES: BUT WHAT ARE OTHER SOURCES?
Before going into that, let me glance my other expenses:
Now I really started estimating my cost benefit proportion in this business, even though I know that it’s too early to do that while running a businesses. Still I’ll have to do it as I’m spending all my money!!
I’m in the 6′th month of my business and already attended 2 major conferences. But my business is at the place where I started. just one down line, that too my close friend!
This is my expenditure statement :
|
These are the other sources I was mentioning previously. Did any of these RING ANY BELL FOR YOU?
If not! These are money which goes to your upline even if you do or don’t do the business!
They are not bothered whether you sponsor anybody or not. They want you to sponsor anybody to just increase your confidence level in this business and YOU DON’T QUIT!
ALL THEY CARE IS WHETHER YOU’RE ATTENDING CONFERENCES, PASE MEETINGS AND OPEN MEETINGS! THAT’S THE SOURCE OF THEIR MONEY. BWW PAYS LEADERS THE SHARE OF COMMISSION FROM THE TICKETS!

If you're in the business for long and not broke yet, then you're not spending a single penny on purchasing the overpriced Quixtar stuffs and BWW tools and conferences:). If that's the case, they might have kicked you out!
Don't EVER compare job with this Amway distributorship! Your question is after getting a degree, how much you get from a job? You'll get what you and your degree is worth. It pays for all your bills, bread and butter and a decent life style. But the "so called business" you're talking about, it needs the pay from your job to sustain. that means that you're PAYING FOR THIS DISTRIBUTORSHIP from the JOB and your SALARY. And that too HOW MANY years? You think about 5 years? That's what you upline keep on telling you? No way! Quixtar ship is already sailed. You've to pay from your salary for another couple of years till you're broke. Still you curse your boss and job and praise the "business" which eats your salary. Install COMMONSENSE DUDE!

But, as a business owner, I have to say this -- the expenses you mentioned are minuscule compared to what you would incur when you start a 'real' business. Which one becomes more successful is everyone's guess. But these IBOs claim that their method is proven to lead you to success if followed diligently. Dont know -- time will tell.
Your story may be exaggerated! However, I'm neither contradicting any of the facts you wrote in the comment nor doing a commonsense fact check as you're the one who decides which direction your life should go. Lies does not help you in long run as you may realize it sooner or later. The purpose of my blog is to give consumer education in the lies and crooked nature of the Amway\BWW cult. As far as people reads it and understand what they are in and what they get out of it, my job is over. It's up to the individuals to decide what they want to do with their life. My goal of this blog is that THERE SHOULDN'T BE ONE MORE AMWAY VICTIM DUE TO THE LIES, FALSE HOPES AND FABRICATED INFORMATION PROVIDED TO THEM. No more mis informed innocent victim should fall as a prey of this BWW Amway cult.
As you're from the NJ area, hopefully you may be working in the IT sector (as a desi consultant or may be NOT). Whatever be the case: here is my advice for you:
Irrespective of how good your upline is or irrespective of how good (or bad) you're doing with Amway business, NEVER EVER quit your job and take a job with Upline or his acquaintances (shady consultant companies). Always keep job and Amway\BWW cult as two unrealted entities. That way, you are not a SLAVE of your upline when you decide to quit. You'll still have a life.
Now J, I expect your reply only after an year! Good luck!
Thanks,

If any of you have not yet seen the Dateline NBC expose on Quixtar, you really need to check it out. I showed it to the fraternity brothers at my house shortly after they were almost scammed by one of the Quixtar losers. The show exposes them for who they really are and what they are about - scamming you!

Another awesome site to visit is the Amway/Quixtar site of professor David Touretzky. This man has the stones to expose Quixtar even after it's lawyer threatened him using BS laws. Hats off to you, professor.
