One of the humorous things that IBOs often bring up is that someone who sees Amway in a creitical eye should bring up viable alternatives. I mean if someone prevents you from fall over a cliff, they should have warned you and given you alternatives right? If I recognized you getting conned by a conman, I should find viable financial investments for you before warning you of the potential scam you are about to walk into. It sounds completely ridiculous but Amway IBOs have actually made those comments on this blog and some other Amway related websites.
Well, let's explore a few anyway jusy for fun. How about you stay home and do nothing? For most IBOs, you would be better off financially than committing your time and resources into Amway's products and their ineffective training materials and functions. If you are really dedicated to tools, sending your upline a check for $50 monthly and not buying Amway goods or related training materials would make you better off.
A second job where you actually receive a paycheck is a better alternative. While there's no hype and hopes of getting rich in 2-5 years, you can do much for your future by saving a portion of that paucheck each month. If you are young, this especially applies to you. But anyone can help their future by saving and investing. Even someone who panhandles is morelikely to have nore net cash than most Amway IBOs.
Sure, some people do make money in Amway and some make a lot of money. The problem is they make money by exploiting their downlines and those hopeful downlines basically have no hope. In other words, you profit by selling false hope and false dreams. Basically, you can gain wealth in Amway by being a conman. Can you live with yourself in order to profit at any cost?
I haven't even gone into the amount of time lost chasing prospects and attending functions. Your time might be the most valuable commodity that is lost chasing the 2-5 year dream. Ask yourself this question. Where are these diamonds who did the 2-5 year plan living in luxury and doing nothing? I don't know of any/ Do you?
The Amway IBOs obviously have at least some money to spend because they would not be welcome in the Temple of Amway if they did not have money to lay down at the Amway altar. Just imagine how much they could actually accrue if they instead took that same amount of dough and put it every week into a relatively safe mutual fund and then used all that time and put it into a second job or legitimate business.
ReplyDeleteIn my day, upline waanted to know how much disposable income everyone had so they could "advise" you to spend it all on tools and functions.
ReplyDeleteThere's probably more money in collecting farts then an Amway business.
ReplyDeleteThat's because farts are more valuable. LOL
DeleteSo was 4000 over not impressive?
ReplyDeleteSo 4000 pv wasn't impressive?
ReplyDeleteI was at 4000 PV but wasn't making a net profit because of the tools and other business expenses. Yeah, optional but then again, you would not be "teachable" if you weren't doing what upline said. Those not "teachable" are shunned by the group.
