Not true. We have just demonstrated tha...@pillar65. Not true. We have just demonstrated that that for every 1,000 people, even if all of the 1,000 make the decision and work very hard, at most one person will succeed. Carefully read my comment and Joecool's reply.<br /><br />That is not the heart breaking truth about Amway. The heart breaking truth is that if you are that one person, it will be made possible because you took a bit from 999 others who loose money and time, and who at one time signed up all motivated to follow a "proven" path to make a better life for themselves. Because it is inherent in the system's design, that will not change if all of these 999 were consistently hard working and committed. <br /><br />And what you get for this 1/1,000 is hardly spectacular. There are business opportunities and even jobs that offer better than 1/1,000 chances to achieve better results. That is particularly true if you are good at sales (whether it be opportunities or products) which (let's be honest) you need to be good at to succeed in Amway. That alternative path to financial success will not come with the 100% chance that it will be at the expense of at least 999 others.<br /><br />kwaaikathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00062244111197155720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-9062818047205173652017-07-27T19:37:51.318-07:002017-07-27T19:37:51.318-07:00The absurd idea that you can "decide" to...The absurd idea that you can "decide" to go Diamond, like deciding to order a cheeseburger, comes from the "think and grow rich" mentality of those who promote MLM ideology. Thinking and dreaming and fantasizing are all you need to be a big success. That's why that lunatic Dexter Yager screams "If the dream is big enough, the facts don't matter!"<br /><br />The notion seems to be that you can do ANYTHING AT ALL if you put your mind to it. What's unfortunate is that this asinine viewpoint is actively promoted in our school system by stupid, over-enthused teachers, who tell the students they can become anything they want to become. These teachers are preparing the ground for Amway.<br /><br />It's just not true. If you're basically a low-IQ loser, you can't be a brain surgeon. If you have two left feet, you can't be a ballerina. If you have the physique of a starved scarecrow, you can't be a football star. If you have no aptitude for languages, you can't be an interpreter at the UN.<br /><br />Need I go on? There are some things a human being can achieve, and other things that he cannot achieve due to his circumstances, his lifestyle, and his innate disposition and skill-set. But no one in Amway (or any other MLM) will admit this plain fact.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-44740060940504967532017-07-26T14:19:47.396-07:002017-07-26T14:19:47.396-07:00Llegar a Diamante es también una decisión, y por s...Llegar a Diamante es también una decisión, y por supuesto trabajo duropilar65https://www.blogger.com/profile/14773784266211976333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-16474296961396979742017-07-26T10:19:23.494-07:002017-07-26T10:19:23.494-07:00A diamond typically has about 1000 downline with a...A diamond typically has about 1000 downline with a minimum of 6 downline platinums. Therefore, having more diamonds just means that there are more people getting scammed and being a part of the 1000 downline that a diamond has. <br /><br />You're right about the math. No amount of hard work or motivation changes the mathematical facts.

The vast majority of these superhuman individuals will fail. A maximum of one in [said number] will succeed. Mathematics is a bastard, it can really spoil the party sometimes.
