The way I put it is that the IBDrones, or IBOs, as they call themselves,
are supposedly independent business owners. Let's look at each of
those words:
Independent: Do they make their own decisions? Can they determine what
prices they charge? Do they determine what product they sell? Can
they switch to a new supplier if one comes along with a better price?
The answer is "NO!" They don't make their decisions. Their upslime
does. They do know understand leadership. They do practice followship
quite regularly, but they do not understand leadership. They do
whatever their upslime tells them to do and they do not make business
decisions. Most IBDrones have no clue how to make a decision anymore
because they have been taught not to think and not to reason, just to
do whatever they're told. The IBOs are NOT independent. They have no
control over their business decisions.
Business: Is it a business? A business is a distinct entity under law.
It has rights and privileges, as well as responsibilities. A true
business has to pay taxes, has to register with the local government,
and is defined on paper so it is recognized by the government. An
IBDrone signs a contract with Quackstar. The company (Quackstar) takes
care of taxes. The person's "business" has no separate entity, no
existence legally, other than as the person being a sales person for
goods sold by Quackstar. It is not a legal entity and is not
recognized legally as an individual entity by any government or by
anyone other than those within the organization.
Owner: First, it's not a business, it does not exist, even on paper, as
anything other than *part* of the Quackstar distribution network.
There is nothing of value for the IBDrone to *own*. While one could
argue that they do own a part of the Quackstar distribution network,
and that they own profits from their downline, but a careful read of
their contract will reveal that the upslime and Quackstar have the
right, at any time, to take everything from any IBDope at any time.
When confronted with this, most IBDrones will say, with that "deer in
the headlights" look in their eyes, "But they only do that in extreme
cases, when someone breaks ethical standards," but that's not true.
There are many examples of someone taking the organization from their
downline with invented reasons. An IBO does not own a business, but
only "has" part of a network that can legally be taken from them at any
time, without warning and without their cooperation. Do they own
anything? If something can legally be taken from you by the very terms
of its existence, other than through a process such as eminent domain,
do you own it? No. You lease it by someone else's permission. IBOs
do not own a thing.
So what is an IBO? They're not independent, they don't have a true
business, and they don't own a thing. They are not independent
business owners. They are drones, following whatever their upslime
tells them to do. They have nothing, but have been trained to believe
they have everything.
Yes, it's that sad!
