Amway can make you rich. Many IBOs say they were told that Amway was not "get rich quick". But obviously, someone must have given them the impression that Amway would eventually make them rich, otherwise, why would anyone join? Why would anyone want to work that hard and embarrass themselves in front to friends and family to promote a business that will more likely get you funny looks than money. But can Amway actually make you rich?
Well, yeah, Amway can make you rich if you are a diamond selling voicemail services, books, standing orders and function tickets. Amway can make you rich if you own Amway and sell to millions of IBOs who "buy from themselves". Amway can make you rich if you write a book that millions of IBOs purchase. Amway can make you rich if you can get enough loyal downline to keep purchasing products so that you can get the bonuses. But aside from these few people who I just described, the Amway opportunity is more likely to make you broke, or at least lighter in the pockets.
Most IBOs do not even earn enough to cover their monthly voicemail expenditures, much less the other support materials that are pushed on the downline in groups such as WWDB or BWW, or N21. These materials are touted as the "key to success" in Amway when in reality, it is the key to success for the uplines who share in the profits from these materials. The real kicker is despite claims that these materials are key to success, the uplines get their followers to blame themselves if the system doesn't work for them. Kind of like tossing a coin and saying "heads I win, tails you lose". Upline wins as long as you buy support materials from them, and your results are of no consequence to them. In fact they probably don't want new diamonds as they would then have to share the tool money.
So can Amway make you rich? I would guess it is possible, but it is also possible for you to win the powerball lottery. It takes normally, over 100 downline IBOs to create a platinumship. And a platinumship occurs less than once in 200 IBOs. And at that level, you likely make little profit or break even. That tells me a whole lot. What does it tell you?

Amway should be Amwaste = am wasting my time. HA!!!! :p
Well, Amway, for me, is amazing. It isn't so much 'Amway' that I benefit from other than the products but WWDB, which was mentioned here. I've been in the business for 3 years, made about $50 so far but one must understand that I was used to being broke and I tried to do it MY way rather than the proven system. I was cocky and thought I could reinvent the wheel. Without a different mentality than I have had my whole life which lead me to broke or worse, I would remain the same; broke and disheveled. I came from nothing and if I keep doing what my father taught me I'll be relying on the government to keep me alive in 40 years. I got into Amway for the money but I have made so much progress and have grown deeply as a person, and that is what's most important if a person is broke and wants to be "rich". My thinking needed to change. My self-image needed to change, *I* needed to change, and WWDB has helped me to do that. Of course, I had to have the willingness and have gone beyond the basics of what I have been taught by my business coaches, however, had I not known *what* to change or *what* to read or *what* to look for I'd still be in the same rut. Today I have better relationships, more self-confidence, and LOVE my life! My business coaches don't make a dime from the business materials I get from them. Since I started working the system suggested me by my coach I have sponsored 4 couples, one being in Canada, and hit my first pin level, all in about 6 months.

This is kinda funny. A Platinum makes around $50-$60K a year in bonuses. JOECOOL, have you ever been an IBO? I'm not bashing the bashers, just curious. I'm going Crown, so you can add me to your statistics here. My name is Aaron Lane and I live in Carson City, NV. I have more now than I ever have in my life and I attribute it to what I have learned in this business and the many new associations I have gathered since I joined. =)
One man's trash is another man's treasure. ;)
you're a freak.
