People quit businesses and start new businesses all the time. There are entire businesses that do nothing but help entrepreneurs develop "exit strategies." Many business owners don't start a business expecting that to be their only business for life. Also, entrepreneurs start businesses that after a couple years aren't working out so they do the right thing and move on. This doesn't make them quitters, it makes them smart. <br /><br />Something that the leadership in Amway tries to do from the onset of a new IBOs business is tie ALL of their hopes and dreams to Amway. They want the new IBO to equate quitting Amway with quitting on their dreams, which is reckless and potentially harmful to the new IBO. They KNOW that 99.5% of them will never even reach Platinum (which by their own admission is break even - at least in the inner circles). By tying all of an individuals hopes and dreams to a business that the leadership knows only .5% will ever see any profit is devious. Many people quit not discouraged blaming themselves for their failure. Most Diamonds would agree with that analysis. Like I said, most Diamonds aren't even self-aware of the programming they are putting on people - THEY ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT THEMSELVES. <br /><br />When I quit, I did it with eyes wide open. No one should ever leave Amway feeling defeated or discouraged. Remember, even if you sponsored 1 person you did more than 80% of IBOs could do. I think one of the saddest things is to watch a person leave Amway feeling defeated and have it "haunt" them for life because someone has convinced them that the business is A+, the products are A+, the leadership is A+, and the variable for success or failure is them. This is not true at all. The business sucks, the products are overpriced, the leadership has a very narrow scope of competency, and to succeed you have to willingly allow yourself to be lobotomized into "Amway Mentality."
