In the past, and I believe still today, some leaders in motivational groups talk about faith and belief. Speak it into existence. Some of this is the mantra among IBOs who believe they are going diamond. Never mind that statistically, your chance of winning the lottery might be better than going diamond in Amway. In fact, I am certain that there have been more power ball lottery winners than new Amway diamonds in the US and Canada in recent years. But an honest question for IBOs, prospects, and Amway supporters. Do you truly believe that this business works and that you will succeed?
If you truly believe, would you feel confident walking into a bank and meeting a loan officer. Tell the loan officer that all you do is sponsor 6 who sponsor 4 who sponsor 2 and you will be a new platinum (silver). Then all you need is 6 of these groups and the money will roll in forever while you sit on a beach in the Bahamas while money rolls in by the barrel full. And then ask the loan officer for a business loan. If you think this suggestion is crazy, maybe you don't truly believe in the business. Surely a loan officer would have some financial acumen and would be able to determine the viability of the business prior to approving a loan.Would you feel comfortable talking to your doctor about joining Amway because a diamond makes much more income with less effort? How about a business professor at your local university? Surely someone with an established expertise in business would see the value of an Amway business and join your efforts? Or would the professor laugh you out of his office? Do you truly believe in what you do? If so, do you use the curiosity approach or are you straight up with prospects and invite them to an Amway meeting? If it's the latter and not the former, maybe your belief isn't that strong?
How hard do you work at building your business? If you truly believe that going diamond is the answer to all of life's challenges and problems, why aren't you building it and working on it as if your very life depended on it? Maybe your belief isn't what you think it is? Are you adding people to your downline every week or month? If not, maybe your belief isn't what you think it is?
If you have some doubts about what you are doing, then it is probably because you see IBOs coming and going. Maybe you see monthly losses in your business. Maybe you see people quitting the business regularly. Maybe you see the same old leaders on stage giving the same rah rah speeches. Maybe you see the logic and the common sense in most of the articles posted on this blog. My blog isn't here to make anyone quit Amway. My blog is to provide information to information seekers and to assist people in making informed decisions if they seek information prior to joining Amway and a motivational group such as WWDB or BWW.
Do you truly believe in what you're doing?

The Amway IBOs who scream the most about how much they "believe" in the Amway plan are acting out of pure defensive fear. They know very well that barely one percent of Amway IBOs ever make the slightest profit from the racket. And they also know that they aren't likely to be in that small number.
So what do they do? They try to cheer themselves up by screaming about how much they "believe." But the real truth is that they are shitting their pants because of terror.
You are totally right. I once heard a story about a dinner at Q12. This was probably in 2017. A well known Diamond in WWDB was at the dinner table "giving an attitude adjustment" and turned to some IBOs; some of which were in my former URA group and snarled at them asking, "DO YOU BELIEVE?" Imagine the scene where IBOs are huddled together, leaning in and trying to get "nuggets".
Now, this is a grumpy old man who ended up putting his home up for sale in Idaho (I think...or maybe Montana). But every time we would listen to one of his talks, he would sound miserable and pissed off.
That's nobody to "be in business with"; no matter how wealthy they supposedly are.
