To my fired up cross lines

Well, I am quite shocked to see how many people I thought to be "core" IBOs (i.e. people who listen to their uplines and the system) actually are spending more and more time on blog sites like mine :-). Some of them leave threatening comments. Some of them send me nice emails. Some ask me whether I am "man enough" to publish their comments - ah, typical Amway statements from "core" IBOs repeating statements they heard on CDs!

Funny thing is - you fired up IBOs are not listening to your "upline leaders". Haven't you active IBOs heard that you are not supposed to read "negative" web sites? By the way, are you done with your 9 core steps today that you are coming here and spending time? Go and look at your calendar first. Also you are forgetting Bill Britt's teaching about dilution, that you should "cap the negative". Listen to your CDs first and follow them. You first go at least Q12 platinum without buying extra products and without forcing a single down line of yours to stock up products - then I will acknowledge your "success".

I feel sorry for many of you active IBOs as well. You haven't honestly sat down and done your income/expense calculations. Some of you guys have been in for 10 years and not yet Q12 platinums. How could you guys show the plan to someone else and tell the other fellow that you would help him go platinum in 3 to 6 months? (Or has it reduced to 2 to 4 months now?)

I personally know more than 10 people who built the business to very successful levels and later quit. They had more success than me, but they did not take the effort to let the public know about the truth. I am not telling what happened to me is what happens in every line of sponsorship, but I believe it is close to what happened to me. Otherwise, how could some of you guys who qualified silvers and platinums, have a grand total of 10 people at the function? And how come 90% of the platinums do not qualify Q12 the same year and many do not go Q12 for several years after they went platinum? Why doesn't every emerald go founders emerald the same year?

As much as so many of you cross lines and down lines of me are frustrated, you go and look at the dreams on your refrigerator. How many have come true? How many dreams have you taken off your refrigerator? What about the time frame it took you to reach any goal?

My dear cross line, please don't tell me your upline's success. I want to know about your success.

And don't think that it is because of my blog that you are not succeeding. The simple fact of the matter is "show 12, sponsor 2" does not work and has not been working for several years. "Tap rooting" did not "transform" your business! "XS technique" does not still bring 10 guests to every open meeting. These are just temporary promotions to keep people excited!

You will simply not accept the truth now, because you believe so much that this would work for you!

All I hope with my blog is that IBOs who are thinking about taking advantage of their downlines will be a bit scared. They know that their names could become quite notorious on the internet if they play around with their downlines' lives. My upline violated several cardinal rules. I have every reason to believe that many uplines are like that.

If you are building your business very honestly, then do it by all means and succeed. Let your down lines write blogs about how "wonderful" you are.

And listen to this - you guys did not go through the hell we went through. If your upline is so wonderful and so successful, GOOD FOR YOU. If you want to brag about your upline, you start your own blog (you don't need to pay $200 for it like you need to pay when you sign up with Amway; starting a blog is truly free) and write good things about your upline. Let your positive blog come up higher in google, before negative blogs like mine. I will write what I want in my blog about my experiences and my opinions. Deal???

Rather than coming to my blog and asking me whether I am "man enough" to publish your comment, I want to ask you the same question. Are you "man enough" to stop the problem at its source? You know who my uplines are! You should confront them as to why they do such horrible things to their down lines and create a bad name for Amway and all of you honest (and not fake pin) IBOs and your super-honest upline leaders who have not got any of their downlines to stock up even 2 PV for their goals. Is it making sense to you?
