Residual Income?

 One of the things Amway IBOS like to talk about is ongoing residual income that they believe they can generate thru their Amway business that keeps rolling in, thus allowing an IBO to retire and walk the beaches of the world. But I ask this of Amway defenders. Name one or two diamonds who built their business right and built it once and are now walking the finest beaches of the world while barrels of money rolls in. Over the years not a single Amway supporter has been able to name a single diamond to achieve such a feat.  Conversely, I have seen diamonds quit, resign, and suffer financially at times.

More than likely such a person does not exist. Overall, of these years, do we believe that not a single diamond wanted to retire quietly and privately to live a life of luxury?  Not even one person wanted to live privately and enjoy the fruits of their labor after having built their Amway empire?    I mean when I was an IBO, this is something I wanted.  But upline started teaching about how the business is not about money but about helping others.   It's ironic because most IBOs lost money or make nothing and are in no position to help anyone but themselves. 

More likely with the majority of IBOs doing little or nothing and quitting, diamonds are working harder than anyone but with a flexible schedule instead of a 9-5 job. These diamonds are working the night or the graveyard shift. They are constantly replacing people who quit and forever recruiting fresh young ambitious IBOs because they have to. Think about it. A diamond business is like a sandcastle. It will stand on its own for a while, but the waves will quickly destroy it and soon enough, you'll never know a sandcastle was there. That's how your "residual" income will be. It will be temporary.

The diamond lifestyle seems alluring, but the reality would very likely show a far different lifestyle and peek into the world of a diamond where you ate always running to and from functions and meetings to hold your group together. It not just a glamorous life of luxury that they lead you to believe. If you don't believe me, name a diamond or two who's living the high life on residual income after walking away from their Amway business. These diamonds are like Sasquatch. Many have seen or heard about them but there is no real evidence that they exist.
