Are You An Ambot?

 Sometimes it happens to the nicest of people and it often happens slowly and subtly.  Most IBOs join Amway because they believe it will be a "shortcut" to retirement and an easy life.  Sadly, very few, if any IBOs at all ever retire.  Even the diamonds are still working, or needing to be somewhere at a particular time, because of money.  You can argue that a diamond's work isn't that difficult, but still, I'm sure some of them wouldn't perform at functions if they didn't need the money.  I believe it's for that reason, that the diamonds never ever walk away from Amway to enjoy residual income that they claim exists.

These are the signs that you are becoming indoctrinated by Amway and your upline and you are likely annoying your friends and loved ones at this point. I hope this helps:

*You're driven to recruit everyone you know. You may even resort to deception or outright lies to get people to meetings. Before you know it, your family and friends avoid you like the plague.

*You're encouraged to develop an unreasonable, irrational zeal for the products. Even so far as to justify the quality of toilet paper or to call the products prestigious. You may even argue the quality of energy drinks or about phyto-nutrients in Amway vitamins, something you may not even know about.

*A whole bunch of demands, promises, subtle threats of failure if you don't try hard enough are made in the promotional material and motivational seminars. i.e. If you quit, you are a loser destined to die broke and unhappy.

*Because the system is touted as the way you're going to make yourself fantastically rich, you're under pressure to drop any conflicting or competing interests such as your bowling league or golfing club. Nothing else in life has importance except for the quest of financial freedom. All activities in your life must enhance your Amway business and have an affect on your financial future.

*Your upline soon becomes your most trusted friend. Your thoughts and feelings are shaped in part by the cds, meetings and functions.

Do you recognize these behaviors? Hopefully you aren't displaying these behaviors.
