I have a question for IBOs and it’s a sincere one. Do you really believe that you will get rich and be able to walk the beaches in 2-5 years? I know the diamonds make it sound easy but you know the old saying about how if something sounds too good to be true? I know the diamonds try to skirt the issue by saying that Amway is hard work and that Amway is not get rich quick. Some even say Amway is get rich slow.
But in the end it’s all BS. If 2-5 years and being able to retire and walk the beaches of the world while wheel barrels of money rolling in forever is not a get rich quick scam, what is? First off, name a few diamonds who walked away to enjoy that benefit of waking the beaches retired while income rolls in? In all my years of research into Amway and personal experience, I have known of zero diamonds who achieved the level and walked away to collect their rewards forever. I have seen a triple diamond file chapter 7 bankruptcy, diamond home foreclosures, and diamonds and higher levels dying while still working Amway.
So IBOS, do you really believe in pink unicorns and Amway forever residual income? If that existed, you’d think there would have at least one diamond who would exercise that option. Instead the diamonds feed you BS that they love you and work only for your success. Do the math and figure out how much they make from selling books, standing orders , audios and functions and you’ll understand what I’m saying.
Lastly a diamond pin lasts forever so someone could go diamond one time and never qualify again but still possess the diamond pin and appear on stage earning income from books, audios, standing orders and functions. When you understand this, you will know why diamonds are not retired and walking the beaches of the world. More likely, diamonds are in debt living bonus check to bonus check like the people that attend their functions. 😃
IBOs in Amway will never do the math, because they have been trained NOT to maintain financial records, and specifically NOT to keep a monthly profit-and-loss sheet.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think that such directions would be red flags to anyone with half a brain, but the entire Amway fraud is dependent on the recruitment of naive or stupid persons, and on the encouragement of mindless enthusiasm and rah-rah-let's-go hype in these people.
Besides all this, Amway uses the old cult tactic of keeping its members in a state of mesmerized obedience to anything and everything that up-line dictates. So put it all together: stupidity, mindless enthusiasm, and rigid obedience. Nobody caught up in that trap is going to "do the math."
Readers should check out the powerful new commentary at MLM: The American Dream Made Nightmare, which is given as a link to the right of this screen. It is a devastating analysis of the essential fraud and fakery of MLMs in general, and why one should never get involved in any of them.

ReplyDeleteAn important thing to understand about the Amway mentality is that it is based on that stupid book "The Power of Positive Thinking." The idea behind it is that if you think "positively," without regard to any of the actual facts of the real world, you will be successful.
ReplyDeleteThis belief allows Amway IBOs to lie regularly and abundantly. Their view is that if you say something hard enough, and believe in it hard enough, you will achieve your goals. So they do not look upon lies as actual deceptions or frauds. For them, lies are part of the entire process of "positive thinking." If the lies lead to success, they are good and and proper.
As for "negative" thinking (which means facing facts and realities honestly), this is a crime. If a fact does not correspond with what you hope and believe, the fact must be denied and forgotten and buried. Every MLM in the world is centered on this crucial idea. But Amway was the first company to turn the idea into a religious principle.
Amway is based on faith, hope, perpetual optimism, hype, enthusiasm, rah-rah cheers, and dreaming. For uneducated people and losers, this is like catnip.
