For a new IBO, the Amway business can be thrilling. You haven't yet been introduced to the hard realities of growing an Amway business, and your head is filled with all kinds of dreams of money and early retirement. The reputation of the company and other variables that make doing business difficult have yet to be discovered.
However, after a while, an IBO may have gone through the majority of their contacts and is settling into a routine. I call it the Amway game because these people continue to believe in the dream, attending all meetings and functions, purchasing and listening to audios, and reading self-help books.
Doubt has crept into that IBO's mind, but upline has already persuaded them that quitting makes them a loser, and that without Amway, they will have little chance of ever reaching their financial goals. Consequently, you continue. You don your suit and put on a phoney smile and go about your business. Even if it implies self-consumption, you increase your volume. You continue to do the CORE steps at your own expense even if your business isn't expanding because you've been taught that success is just around the corner if you don't give up. Despite the fact that your cash flow is negative month after month, you keep going.
It is at this point that you have joined the Amway game. You keep trying your hardest, but it's well known that even the most hardworking and bright individuals can fail in Amway due to the broken system. The products are too expensive to be fully competitive, and the expense of tools and functions quickly depletes your resources.
Even if you never make a penny from Amway, your upline will always support you since they profit from your tool and function purchase. Upline benefits from your perseverance since it keeps the money pouring. When you think about it, it's really simply a nasty game. The game of Amway. Most individuals eventually snap out of it, but other people, like my old sponsor, have been involved in Amway since 1994, despite not achieving much for his efforts.
Amway becomes more of a pastime than a company since it is designed to be played like a game. Hobbies cost money; a business, on the other hand, is designed to make you money.
