Avoid Negative?

 One of the reasons why Amway IBOs begin to shun their friends and family if they’re actively in the business is because they are told to avoid negative.  They’ll say that your family and friends just don’t understand Amway so eventually they’ll wear you down with negative comments or attitudes.  

I recall my sponsor once telling me he had a “ warm”, meaning he actually caught a cold but saying it was negative so he called it the opposite. Now of course you don’t want to be inundated by negative attitudes but to avoid your family and friends is why some people compare Amway to a cult.  

You might even be told to avoid watching the news or reading a newspaper because the news can be seen as negative and you need to fill your brain with only positive news.  That’s why you’re to forgo the news and only listen to Amway audios and associate with Amway people. Who are supposed to help uplift you rather than drag you down with negatives.  

In other words, the upline wants to do all of the thinking for you.  As if you’re not capable of discerning what you need to know.  Also, it’s not good for anyone to only be fed positive and nothing else.  For example, never feeling pain might seem like a good thing but it can wind up killing you since you may get injuries or illnesses that would go undetected since you couldn’t feel pain or discomfort. 

In the end and ironically. IBOs will all feel a lot of financial pain if and when they ever track their business expenses and analyze a profit loss statement. It is primarily the diamonds who sell tools and functions that actually make money with the Amway opportunity and not many others. This is just another silly and useless bit of teaching by upline diamonds.  It is my hope that pointing these out will help someone recognize the scam.
