The Amway Function Cycle?

 Well, covid 19 has been around for nearly a full year.  Various states had different versions of restrictions and ridiculous rules to deal with covid.  Where I live in Hawaii, we were told that parties from 4th of July likely caused a spike in cases, so our mayor shut down beaches, parks, golf courses and a lot of small businesses.  What was ironic was the mayors office was responsible for a cluster of covid cases due to an apparent retirement party. 

But my point in this is that we are upon the season for a function called Dream Night, which used to be a sit down dinner, rah rah speeches by diamonds and slide shows of luxury and cool toys like jet skis or yachts.  Of course nobody necessarily knows if the diamonds actually owned these things or just implied they did.   I heard stories of diamonds renting props at times.  

The cost of Dream Night was around $75 and I hear that the cost is the same except that you don’t get the sit down dinner and most likely the function is virtual, thus more profit for the diamonds who run the function.  If you attended Dream Night last year and are attending again, ask yourself what progress have you made?   If you have any profit, is that a net profit?  Most likely not.  Did upline teach anything tangible that made your business more profitable of did they tell you not to quit and keep attending functions?  

I bring up these thought provoking points because soon after Dream night the diamonds will be advising you to attend another large function , possibly called spring conference where new and emerging leaders do the speaking.  If you don’t see new leaders you should take it as a red flag.  If you haven’t progressed in the last year you should also take that as a red flag. 

Every quarter there is a new important function that diamonds will be pushing  Dream night is the start of the cycle of functions for the year.  If you’ve been around for a while, you may see the same old diamonds but very likely won’t see a bunch of new diamonds although there might be folk lore about hoards of diamonds elsewhere. 

The main thing is to be honest with yourself about your progress or complete lack of progress in Amway.  If you’re not progressing, what is it you’re hoping to accomplish?  After all, the longer you hang around means your losses will add up.  Be honest and do a self assessment.  Giving up on a business that is causing you a financial loss does not mean that you can’t achieve your goals and dreams, you just need a better way to get there.  Maybe Amway isn’t the way?
