My Upline Is Rich?

 Serious question for Amway IBOS.  How would you know if your upline diamond is rich?  Does your diamond let you see business tax returns or a profit loss statement, which would be normal in a business setting?  Or do you simply assume that the diamond is rich because they are on stage talking big and showing you pictures of nice cars and other trappings they claim to own?  How would you know if they own a Ferrari or if they rented one for the pictures?  I can stand on stage in a suit and do the same thing.  But for some reason, IBOS just blindly believe because quite simply, they want to believe it.  For many, they need to believe that 2-5 years of work can result in fabulous wealth and early retirement.  It was what the "dream" is built on.

Without the hope that the diamond dream (or delusion) provides, there would be no good reason for anyone to join Amway.  Who would want to peddle ordinary household goods at premium prices if not for a big reward as ultimate end goal?  People want to believe that they can achieve the same things as the diamond.  I was an IBO at one time and there’s no way I would join if a middle-class lifestyle was the goal.  And that’s where the scam is played out by the upline.  They claim you can achieve what they allegedly have if only you will listen to them and follow their program, which includes a lot of business expenses that uplines directly profit from.  This is the part they never mention.

Join Amway and feel rich.  A few years of work and dedication will get it done.   The diamond has the secret to success and achieving diamond but you must subscribe to their system of audios and functions so they can teach you these secrets.  In the meantime, the diamond is making his bankroll from selling audios and function tickets while nearly all down line are losing money because of the cost of the training.  And I might add that the training in ineffective and does not work.   If the training were effective, there would be a natural progression of new diamonds all the time.  Instead we see the same old tired diamonds speaking and pitching the same old rhetoric function after function.

For the IBOS and prospects who think the upline diamond is rich beyond belief, I ask this question.  How in the world would you know?  The fact is you don't.  If you ask, you'll more than likely be told it's none of your business or some other excuse will be forthcoming.  Just stop and think analytically for a minute, maybe you'll see through the facade.
