Build It Right, Build It Once?

 One of the things upline taught was how you could build your business right and build it once.  You would the. Have the option to “walk away” to enjoy residual income for life while the income keeps flowing forever and you can live happily ever after.   Sounds like a great deal right?

It would be a great deal if it were true but more likely it’s complete BS.  Build it right and build it once?  So whh kg at happens to the 50% or more who quit within the first year and the near 100% who don’t last five years in Amway?  How can income be sustained when so many IBOs never do a thing and about half quit without renewing their business?  

How does a business generate income when the IBOs cone and go as if there is a revolving door for entering and exiting the business?   If the diamond is gone, who will keep the business held together and who will assist the leaders who are left behind?   It’s like building a sand castle on the beach. The castle may stand for a while but once the tide comes up, the waves will quickly make the sand castle disappear.  Just as attrition will eat away at an Amway business when someone walks away.  

Even if this sill claim were true, why hasn’t anyone chosen this option?  Surely walking away to a quiet retirement in privacy and untold wealth, surely there would be a few good examples of this happening.  Instead we see the same old tired diamonds schlepping tools and functions to the down line ad nauseum.  IMO, it’s gotten to the point where these diamonds should be embarrassed pushing tools and functions on down line 

The diamonds never walk away because once they stop, the income stops.  Sure there might be sone income still coming in for a while but if a platinum or two down line fall out of qualification, the diamond will also fall out.  And that’s because the Amway business with high attrition is just not self sustainable.   You don’t have to believe me but instead, go find a few IBOs who built it once and built it right and who walked away to enjoy life long residual income. 

Feel free to return here and report your findings.   🤡

You are so right. Even my former Upline Emerald's Upline Emerald (yes, redundant I know) is a prime example.

One of the selling points of this guy is that he had a successful career that he retired from and was featured in the Amway magazine for that career. Everyone made a big deal out of this guy (etification they say!)

Well, he has a beautiful home, great kids, nice cars. You know...the American Dream that is sold to people.

His wife who has accolades as well never stopped working. I always found that to be a little odd. I gave her the benefit of the doubt though. Maybe it was because she wasn't at retirement age.

But then, before I got out of Amway, I heard him talking about "having to go to work". I was like, "huh?" I thought he was retired, having a good life, etc.

Well, it turned out that he needed a job as a defense contractor which is kind of weird because the organization is down on jobs and if he was "retired", then why would he need a job?

This was around the time things started clicking for me and things just did not pass the smell test.

I hope people find your blog and see this comment. I want people to really keep their eyes and ears open as to what they see and hear. Soon, they will pick up enough contradictions to realize that they are being fed nothing but falsities.

In Amway, you CAN'T build it once.

You have to build it over and over, again and again, forever.

That's why those geriatric Diamonds are still showing up at all the functions.
