Amway Is Not "Get Rich Quick"?

One of the things upline used to say was that Amway is not "get rich quick". I suppose they say this because most people would more likely think scam if they promoted it that way. But when you stop and think about it, 2-5 years, build it right and you have willable, residual income for like while walking the beaches of the world? That's not get rich quick? Or is ot more of a disclaimer so that the opportunity doesn't sound "too good to be true"? One thing is for sure, even if uplines tell you that it's not get rich quick, it's obvious that IBOs think they will eventually get rich, even if it's not quick.

What most IBOs don't figure out quickly enough, is that they are unlikely to even make a profit, let alone getting rich in Amway. How many of these peoplle exist? Wherea re all of these retired Amway IBOs who built a business in 2-5 years and then walked away from their business and will be collecting a significant residual income for many years to come afterwards? I don't know of a single person who has done this and none of the Amway defenders and zealots I have encountered over the years has been able to supply this information either.

I can acknowledge that Amway is a business opportunity and will definitely take some work to be able to achieve something. But thinking realistically, what business could you actually be able to walk away in 5 years and not work again? More than likely that business doesn't exist, whether it's Amway or not. Say you opened a conventional business. There wouldn't be many scenarios where you could walk away after a number of years. The business would still require work and maintenance. But form some reason, people are mislead to believe that you can do this in Amway where there is a high attrition rate and where your business can only expand by person to person.

Sadly, many of the people who are attracted to the Amway opportunity are often young people looking to get more out of life. They are often ambitious but may lack a means to gain wealth, thus the appeal of the opportunity is there. Unfortunately, these nice young people are more likely to end up channeling their hard earned dollars into standing orders and functions which will almost guarantee that they end up with a net loss. The bottom line is that not only is Amway not get rich quick. The more likely scenario is that your involvement with Amway will very likely be not getting rich at all. A net loss is the most likely result. I challenge anyone to try and prove me wrong on this point.

No one will challenge you Joe because NO IBO has achieved a willable, residual income, retired from the business, doing nothing while money just falls from the sky. The Big Pins in organizations like WWDB brainwash IBO's into thinking that this is all possible though they never... I repeat NEVER present a single example of a IBO that has retired from the business, no longer doing anything, while the money just magically rolls in.

No one needs to challenge Joe and his clan because at the end of the day it won't make any difference only wasted time. Joe and his clan will still hold on to their views & opinions while the real Amway IBOs will continue to build success. Sadly, this success can not be magically transferred to Joe and his clan. You got to work for it, not find reasons why it won't work.

Joe, I completely with you and the above anonymous based on my own studies of this scheme. Sadly, I have many good friends involve in this...good people, young and ambitious as you mentioned, who can't see clearly what is going on. They just fed them so many lies. It's sad.

One question I do have though. They recently heard of a guy here and a lady there and even have a video of one of those people (threw a big street party and everything). What about those people? Do you think Amway could be paying them to pretend or are they letting them fall into that place only temporarily to keep on feeding the lie? What are your thoughts guys because the stories of the 20s something who just retired are happening right now and I feel uneasy about them, because of the big show they make out of it, I just wonder what is up with that. What are your opinions?

What success Anonymous @ 5:08??
Once again we ask for proof for all the false claims that the Scamway Ambots and the phonies they worship make and yet again we get another BRAINDEAD, BRAINWASHED response.
If it was true that people were retiring after building the business wouldn't the promoters of this cult hold these people up as real proof in order to shut up all the critics?
The truth is that these people do not exist but was does exist is...
- Big pins making most of their income from Tools and speaking
- only 600 active qualified Diamonds after 45 years out of just over 6000, the others failed, quit and basically left the business.
- 1% will make platinum and even less will re qualify
- Big Pins and Diamonds who claimed they bought everything with cash losing their houses to bank foreclosures ie. Greg Duncan

Give us real Proof or just shut up and go back to your money sucking cult Ambots.

Here are a couple of my former WWDB upline diamonds who bragged from the stage that they bought their house with cash and preached to the Ambots that having a mortgage was bad. I assure you, there are many many more who are not what they appear to be so don't get tricked by the smoke and mirrors like we did when we were in the business.

It's funny how once you show actual FACTS to the Ambots living in Scamway Fantasy land, you get no response.

Hi there,

I thought your material was a very good read. Pretty interesting and you are correct.
Most of the blogs you read have ads on the side which have nothing to do with scams.

People constantly categorize work from home jobs as scams which is fine by me because I am making their wages.

Check out my blog and giveit a small read and sign up if your interested in what I have wrote already.

I would appreciate as many comments as possible.
