Winners Join Amway?

One of the things that my upline taught, and I believe is still taught today in various groups is that winners join Amway and losers do not.  Kind of makes me wonder about the "most" who "do nothing" after joining.

I also heard that you're a winner because you were doing something to better your financial future and those who didn't were losers, or broke minded. Of course the upline who said this had no knowledge about those who were not in Amway. Some of them may already have been financially sound or may have been doing something to better their financial future. I'm not sure why these uplines, who promote "positive",  had to resort to calling people losers simpy because they did not agree that Amway was the greatest thing since sliced bread.

In many games or sporting events, there will be someone or a team that wins the game and someone or a team that loses the game.  Losing a game doesn't make you a loser and certainly, a team that wins the game would not say the losing team were losers. Can you imagine a pro football team's coach taking the podium after a game and saying his team won because the other team was a bunch or broke minded gutless losers?  That would never happen, yet we see that frequently in the Amway world.  The owner of Amway, Rich DeVos had once said in a recorded message that just because people do not agree with you (paraphrased) about Amway, does not make them losers and that IBOs should not call people losers.

In all of this, people's jobs are also criticized. That a job stands for "just over broke" or "jackass of the boss" and other blurbs. Many IBO's goals and dreams consist of ditching their job so they can sleep all day and live a life of luxury. Ironically, it is most IBO's jobs that continue to produce income so they can pay their bills and feed their family. It is also an IBO's job that funds their Amway and AMO expenses such as product purchases and functions and voicemail, etc. Without having a job, most people could not even join Amway or pay for any tools. Sadly, most IBOs won't make any money in Amway either, and will have to continue to work at their jobs. I do not believe that someone earning an honest living working a job is a loser. Ironically, the folks calling people losers are often not even netting a profit from their Amway business!

Yes, in this business or the sports world, there will be winners and there will be losers. The question is whether you are the one who is allowed to be the judge of who is and who isn't. I would also suggest that IBOs are completely shutting down potential future business by their behavior. What if I went to a store to purchase something but the item was not available on that particular day, so I don't purchase anything and leave. As I leave, the store owner says I am a loser for not buying something there. Will I go back? Very unlikely. If an IBO truly sees themselves as a store owner, all prospects should be seen as potential business, whether future or present. If your upline tells you that people not interested are losers, you should kick him where the sun doesn't shine.

Only winners join Amway? Think again!

When Amway freaks call non-Amway persons "losers," it is simply a form of psychological projection. The people in Amway are the "losers." Most of them are small-town schmucks who were slaving at dead-end jobs before they heard about the "Plan." And 99% of them will fail at Amway.

The only way they can feel better about themselves is to call non-Amway persons "losers." (Even if the non-Amway person is a doctor, a lawyer, a successful businessman, or a highly paid professional of some sort.)

It's interesting that the late Dexter Yager (an Amway demigod) said that anyone who was satisfied with his income and who was living a comfortable and happy life was "a broke loser."

In other words, having enough money to relax and enjoy your life without any mindless bullshit meant that you were a failure. You had to be out there, plugging away, like the Energizer Bunny, making MORE and MORE money!

That's Away for you -- work till you drop dead. It means you're a winner!
