Deceit on Parade: What the Newbie Quixtar Recruit Should Know

The Quixtar believers are preparing to attend the mid-year rallies. Distributors will be paying their own way to attend what the motivational kingpins hope will be a very profitable event (at least for them). New recruits will find this event possibly exciting as well as expensive. Rallies put high pressure on new distributors to make commitments to purchase all the books, CDs and propaganda the new distributor will require to grow in his/her business. All the inside information and ideas expressed by motivational speakers and writers will be offered. All will be encouraged to automatically buy these items. I have read some of the old classic books and heard a few of the tapes. Nothing really new here. Many other MLM companies beside Quixtar make use of these old standards.

On stage will be basically the same old same old, but in the crowd there will be the many new hopeful people who have believed the recruiter's spiel. The 5 year plan to top level success is what? Less than 5 years away now. Hearing the successful beautiful people on stage and seeing their enthusiastic faces may be just what is needed for people to dig out that Visa or Mastercard and just say charge it. What isn't so evident is the deceit behind the smiles.

Diamond distributor smiles may disguise disillusionment in the business. Diamond distributors come and go in Amway. Nothing new here. Current distributors are taught to believe that success in Quixtar will bring lifetime will-able residual income. What surprises me is that they cling to these ideas in the face of evidence to the contrary. Quiting the business is a major deal, a no-no of the highest magnitude. Quiting makes one an incredible loser for the rest of one's life if the brainwashing that upline mentors do is to be believed. That being said, in recent times many pin level successes in Quixtar have quit, left, joined other businesses or returned to work in their former occupations. Where is the long term security in that? I ask, why do seasoned distributors still believe some of the more obvious deceits promoted by the kingpin dream weavers in the business?

There is a lot of talk about “change” this year. Change by Quixtar and change by politicians. As in politics talk about change many times fizzles out. What real changes has Amway instituted? Not the one change that some disgruntled IBOs have called for: Dismantling of the kingpin distributor system. Many have called for the defrocking of these organizations and the people who operate the enthusiasm machine. The motivational organizations sponsor most of the fraud that AmQuix has become. These handful of greedy distributors sit on their pile of money and enable Amway to continue selling their bag of unremarkable overpriced goods. Here is what could be done; the control of content and sale of tools should be taken over by the company exclusively. A fair distribution of product commissions as well as a fair redistribution of tool profits could then be made to all achievers in the business. In other words, more money for more people, not more money for just the very few. Gone will be the pin level disputes about tool breaks (discounts) and the falling out of people who have worked so hard to create the down-line volume of business that once enriched kingpin distributors selling the dream that never could come true. The current shell game that is currently being played with the tool treasure where only a handful win will be gone. Folks receiving a fair distribution will not have to return to working jobs, and folks who make the incredible sacrifices to build a downline business will really be rewarded instead of facing their current dismal future.

In Amway, the “fake it until you make it” becomes “fake is even after you make it”! Isn't this really the situation that exists on stage at Quixtar rallies? Talk about buying islands, and countries and the like is merely choreographed deceit by people who many times are not what they represent themselves to be.

Quixtar Cult Intervention urge people not involved in Amway/Quixtar to remain that way. For those locked into the grips of the motivational cults, quiting is really winning. You can cut your losses and use your time and efforts for something more fruitful. For those that stay, there may be hope that the real changes I've described in today's post might come true. I will not be holding my breath about it and neither should you.

While The Sheep Are Being Fleeced, What About The Little Lambs? They Want Their Parents Back! Heartbreak In The Land Of Will!

I have discovered a web site that describes the teachings and deceptions of the "World Wide Dream Builders". You may view and read this site by clicking here. I am going to discuss a few of these teachings in today's post. I believe that World Wide Dream Builders oversee a pernicious business cult and their teachings provide the evidence. A pernicious cult is one that does harm. I care about the victims, who many times are carried along by the cult and have no real choice in the matter.

It is the children of cults who suffer. There has been a lot of national press attention being focused on the children of the Polygamist Sect cults. Polygamist cults tend to cut the male children apart and force them to leave the community. Intermarriage amongst the few husbands and the many child-wives may border on incest. Children suffer in polygamist cults, but they also suffer from neglect in the "business cult" of Quixtar/Amway Global and their motivational organizations.

In the article about the teachings of World Wide Dream Builders, parents of the cult are told to shuffle their children off into the hands of babysitters. Meetings and events are just too important to be missed. Children are not welcome at Quixtar meetings. For a organization which claims to be family friendly, this friendship really does not extend to the children of distributor parents.

Parent IBOs are told that children will be able to walk the world's beaches with them someday, but at present must be left alone with sitters. Parents spend most of their daylight hours working a JOB and then spend most of their evening hours showing the plan and working the biz. Children of Quixtar parents may come to feel like orphans in their own home! Children may come to view their care givers as the only real parental figures in their lives. I find this very sad. I've discussed so many other reasons for people to shun this business (to include the money extraction and social stigma issues), but it is this one issue, the children, that must be considered the number one reason to counter the cult. They do not have a voice in the matter.

Eric Scheibler, in his book "Merchant's of Deception", described his tremendous regret of missing out on his children's lives during their formative years. I am sure that there are any number of other former Amway parents who feel exactly the same way. In the quest for the pot of gold at the end of the AmQuix rainbow, the children should not have to suffer and be shuffled off onto others for their daily care. The WWDB teach new distributors to line up as many as twenty-five babysitters because the parent's AmQuix work is more important than time spent with the children.

Children are used in the recruitment spiel. The "dream" sellers describe children as a primary reason for joining. Amway has promoted a book called "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" which contains what many consider age old cliches about money and success. The name of the book calls into question issues involving dreams of success as they relate to ones own children. Parents are convinced to get into the Biz believing they are doing something great for their children's future. I must call this reasoning into question.

Parents that spend nearly half their day away from home working a real world JOB, and then must spend the second half working the AmQuix plan only have time left for sleep. Children are shuffled off to babysitters or placed into the care of relatives, grandparents, aunts and uncles who basically become a support system for the "business cult". Grandparents should not have to raise the grandchildren. That job is really for the parents. Strangers should not be clung to by children who really come to know them better than their own mother and father.

AmQuix teaches that money is more important than anything else--including ones own children. The plan must be shown, and meetings must be attended--even if time spent with children is forsaken. Quixtar has a promotional video which says "I live in the Land of Will". This video paints a very rosy picture of the AmQuix dream that includes time for children. Parents are shown with school age children and one might be lead to believe by this propaganda that working the Biz will allow more time to be spent with the children. This is an obvious deceit! Working a day job might keep a parent away from the children during the day, but working Quixtar keeps a parent away at night as well. The more enthusiasm for the Biz, the less quality time to spend with the children. Since couples are encouraged to work together, the children not only loose time spent with Dad, but also with Mom. Time with the children might be on an "appointment only" basis.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. IBO, have you passed your responsibilities onto other family members and babysitters? Do your children qualify as AmQuix orphans? I am very dismayed by parents who care more about working a MLM biz than they care about working their own family biz. World Wide Dream Builders and Quixtar/Amway are doing way more harm than just taking your money, they are taking away something more precious: time spent raising your own children. Quixtar Cult Intervention is the Real Opportunity Zone. Your opportunity to free yourself from the cult. You and you alone can only provide what your children need and that is you and your time!
