The dream is more important than the facts if the dream is big enough, says the author. Something I once heard taught at an IBO function has recently come to my attention, thanks to a comment from a former student of mine. The fact that someone approaches you about a business opportunity and asserts that the facts don't matter should raise red flags, prompting you to put on your running shoes and sprint in the opposite direction should be obvious to anyone who has any sense.
If the facts aren't important in a business, what kind of business are we talking about? Only in Amway does it appear that the vast majority of independent business owners (IBOs) either make nothing or lose money, which appears to be the case in all other companies. The reality is that the vast majority of independent business owners (IBOs) do little or nothing and then give up. Unfortunately, the vast majority of independent business owners never sponsor even a single downline. In accordance with industry statistics, the average IBO earns approximately $100 per month, which includes diamonds.
When it comes to making decisions about whether or not to participate in a business opportunity that will require a significant investment of time and money, any legitimate business owner would want only the facts and nothing else in their hands. Individually owned businesses (IBOs) are likely to spend hundreds of dollars per month with little or no return on their investment because they are not aware of the situation.
Although many IBOs simply contribute to the diamonds lifestyle, this is the primary reason why so many are involved in the real business. The sale of tools and functions is at the heart of the company's business model. In order to achieve success in Amway, the teaching and advice almost always focuses on the system's significance as well as the importance of dedicating yourself to learning everything you can about the company. As previously explained, tools and functions have a significantly higher profit margin for diamonds than Amway products. Furthermore, unlike the Amway compensation plan, rank and file IBOs are not entitled to a share of the income generated by the use of tools and functions.
So let's look at the facts as they stand. It is not a good idea to blindly follow your upline's instructions without first thoroughly investigating the facts. If you choose to do so, you do so entirely at your own risk, and it is through this method that upline empires are constructed. When faced with this situation, caution should be exercised.
