Amway And The Holidays!

 I recall being an Amway IBO many years ago.  IBOs wind up being social paraiahs at times because they have ulterior motives at social events.  Or at least the ones that their Amway schedule allows them to attend.  I found it humorous that Amway diamonds would teach about vertical alignment which means God, Family and your job came first and Amway fell in line after that. But at the same time you were expected to never miss a meeting or function.  

It must be awkward at times to be at social gatherings knowing that some IBO might be eyeing you up as a potential Amway prospect.  IBOs are shameless at times when it comes to looking for potential recruits.  After all, you can’t go diamond without a group of IBOs down line.  I recall doing sone of these zany things myself as an IBO, but luckily I saw the light and snapped out of my Amway trance pretty quickly.  

So to that I say to Amway IBOs.  Have a merry Christmas and give up prospecting for two weeks.  Enjoy the holidays without having a motive.  Enjoy your friends and family and don’t worry about Amway for a few weeks.  The world won’t come to and end and more than likely. Your business won’t have been affected by stopping recruiting for a few weeks to enjoy the holidays. 

I don’t know what the new year will bring but you’ll survive and life will go on.  By now your upline diamonds are likely promoting a major function called Dream Night or something like it.  While it might be a virtual event, you will be sports cars and jet skis, and other luxurious goods.  All to get you “dreaming” so you’ll be motivated to keep building Amway. Of course to attend dream night you’ll have to fork out $75 or more but this year it likely won’t include a dinner.  In the end, you and thousands of other IBOs paying for these functions and other tools is how the diamonds pay for the stuff you might see at dream night.  

Don’t believe me?  Do the math.

In my former organization, "leaders" call the holidays, "Broke People Season."

Why would anyone want to get involved in business with a broke person? That's an interesting rhetorical question.

It's mostly broke people who sign up in Amway. The few who aren't broke will be broke pretty soon.

Do these "IBOs" that are not married or not in a serious relationship have any chance of starting a healthy dating relationship? It's difficult enough in the real world, let alone eyeballing eveyone you come into contact with as a prospect. I am assuming most single Amway people just date another Amway person. Based on their lifestyle and recruiting demands it might be the only way a single IBO could get a date.
