Has WWDB also rewritten the court's decision and FTC requirements?  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I would be very skeptical of an organization with "Dream Builders" in its name. They should call it "Dream Sellers".  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I believe retail selling was originally Amway's intention.  Rich and Jay wanted to move product and wanted to give good folk a chance to benefit by it. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The greed of the tool kingpins to move their tapes, functions and dreams have given the business the black eye it carries now.&lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I am aware that the "company" is intent on changing the way things are done by reigning in tool kingpin problems although they have benefited monetarily from the excesses. Maybe this is a little too little, too late. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The selling of mostly empty dreams is the problem, and it is the distributors which appear to succeed who become the biggest victims.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I don't really see the dream selling coming to an end any time soon unless, of course, the pyramid  does finally collapse.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The fiasco in Great Britain has to worry Alticor execs.  Their arse  is exposed here just the same way it is in the old country.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Influence peddling in the States has helped fend off regulators.  Evidently it doesn't work well in the powdered wig set across the pond. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;When the proverbial "shoe fell" in Great Britain, Alticor launched the latest shakeup in the Biz.  They changed the name, shook some of the tool kingpins out of the IBOAI.  (I don't know why they just don't call it the Board of Tool Kingpins?).  They've made some efforts (at least on paper) to promote retail sales.  (Which I view as positive, although a move designed to keep their teat out of the wringer).  The problem with retail sales is the pricing strategy is unrealistic (no matter what propaganda Quixtar releases saying it is not).  The problem is with the marketing strategy itself, which requires commissions to be paid out in a tiered system.  I'll say it plainly: There are just too many middle men (to include the Rich and Jay's family who operate their positions through their front company Ja-Ri) that have to be paid.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;IBO folk: are you fired Up!  Well get out there and sell something, instead of just showing the plan. The Devos and Van Andel Dons will appreciate it either way. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt; Oh, by the way, Anonymous, didn't you tell me you weren't in Quixtar?  Oh, it is just your wife.  Give her a hand.  Maybe you can sell some perfect water to the mail man?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2249216107319535551/6306762158362305451/comments/default/782288318922152741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2249216107319535551/6306762158362305451/comments/default/782288318922152741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://quixtarisacultintervention.blogspot.com/2008/03/are-you-facing-moral-dilemma-is-it-ok.html?showComment=1205841000000#c782288318922152741' title=''/><author><name>quixtarisacult</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07051645876072252255</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06189100499088931810'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://quixtarisacultintervention.blogspot.com/2008/03/are-you-facing-moral-dilemma-is-it-ok.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249216107319535551.post-6306762158362305451' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2249216107319535551/posts/default/6306762158362305451' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249216107319535551.post-2214834871752836682</id><published>2008-03-17T23:42:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-03-17T23:42:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>It's not just a 10 customer rule.

And yes, my wife and I meet this rule every month. Ron Puryear's WWDB system teaches us to do retail and gives us the tools to do it. Also, Amway is restricting self reporting to make it more difficult to cheat. They are tightening the rules associated with meeting the retail sales requirement.

Alticor knows this.  Since the Great Britain fiasco began, reports have come to light that Quixtar is attempting to doctor its books to make it appear that Quixtar retail sales meet the FTC requirements.  Of course, this is sham manipulation and outright fraud.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;These fraud facts will become widely known upon the ultimate collapse of Amway just as they did in Enron.  It will not come as any big surprise to Pyramid watchers. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Much like  the Enron fiasco, folk will scratch their heads and say, why didn't someone say or do something about this before now?  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Local Area Watch out of Grand Rapids Michigan has been questioning the solvency of the Devos Van Andel empire for some years now.  Might they be right? They have been saying the Emperor has no clothes.&lt;BR/&gt;  &lt;BR/&gt;The Devos and Van Andel Dons have been socking cash as they must see the eventual collapse of the pyramid at some time in the near future. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;You may notice that I use mafia termionlogy to describe the people behind the scenes at Alticor.  The Biz is operated exactly like the mafia, and for support of this claim, I offer G. Robert Blakey's report, which was ordered never to be revealed to the public but was thankfully leaked. Once the worms are out of the can, they do not go back in. &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;The Blakey report is difficult to shrug off, because Professor Blakey is one of the most highly  respected and renowned experts on the structure and operation of mafia organizations.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2249216107319535551/6306762158362305451/comments/default/2110152287747119450'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2249216107319535551/6306762158362305451/comments/default/2110152287747119450'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://quixtarisacultintervention.blogspot.com/2008/03/are-you-facing-moral-dilemma-is-it-ok.html?showComment=1205781900000#c2110152287747119450' title=''/><author><name>quixtarisacult</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07051645876072252255</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06189100499088931810'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://quixtarisacultintervention.blogspot.com/2008/03/are-you-facing-moral-dilemma-is-it-ok.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249216107319535551.post-6306762158362305451' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2249216107319535551/posts/default/6306762158362305451' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2249216107319535551.post-3437230853731812499</id><published>2008-03-17T11:58:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-03-17T11:58:00.000-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Fake it till you make it!!!!

Amquix allows self reporting with out ever confirming if the information is correct because they know, the IBO's know, in fact EVERYONE knows that there are practically no retail sales.  IBO's do nothing but self consume.  They don't even try to retail.  They are focused solely on recruiting.  The corp has themselves covered for sure and will think nothing about letting the IBO's who are lying on their reports of sales, go down without a second thought.
