Jobs were one of the ways in which Amway diamonds would put them down, by using the phrase "a job is simply trading hours for dollars." As if having a job where you were compensated for your time were in any way demeaning. I believe that everything is relative. Given that many IBOs are young and may be working in more entry-level positions, your hourly wage may not be particularly high in comparison to other occupations. If you earn, say, $10 an hour, you may find yourself in financial difficulty, and it may take some time before your skills and knowledge increase to the point where your experience is worth more money than your salary. So what if you were employed at $1000 an hour and made $160,000 a month on the side? Is it a bad deal to trade hours for dollars in this situation? No, I don't believe so!
Having a business, on the other hand, can be beneficial or detrimental. If you have an Amway business that earns less than $100 per month and you spend $200-$300 per month on functions, standing orders, and other training and motivational materials, you are losing money on your investment. It would be preferable if you worked for nothing. That is still a preferable option to running a business in which you are losing money, however. I believe that the majority of people agree that a platinum group typically has 100 or more IBOs in total. The Platinum IBO is therefore among the top one percent of all IBOs. According to what I've heard, the platinum level is the point at which you begin to break even or make a small profit, depending on your level of tool consumption. If platinums are barely making a profit, then the other 99+ percent of IBOs are losing money, according to this calculation. What is that worth in terms of dollars per hour?
I believe that uplines successfully mislead IBOs into believing that a job is bad. After all, trading hours for dollars sounds a lot like being a kind of indentured servant of some sort. However, in the end, it is your bottom line that matters. Even if you are an IBO with little or no downline, and/or little in the way of sales to non-IBOs/customers, if you are attending functions and purchasing standing orders, you are losing money each and every month. Your ten to twelve hours per week of Amway work is costing you cash! Nonetheless, even at minimum wage, if you work 10 to 12 hours per week, you could earn approximately $300 to $ 350 in gross income per month. After taxes, you earn between 250 and 300 dollars. At the very least, trading hours for dollars ensures that you will make a profit at the end of the month. You have money that can be used to pay your bills and expenses rather than investing in the Amway business, which is a waste of time for most people.
Uplines deceive you into adopting a "business mentality," leading you to believe that working for a net loss is just a normal part of the business world. IBOs should be aware that a business that is promoted as low risk and low overhead should be one in which you can start earning money immediately. Instead, IBOs are taught to postpone gratification or to reinvest any profits back into their business in the form of tools and functions, resulting in a net loss for the organisation. Trading hours for dollars would be my preference if that were the case.
Recall that exchanging hours for dollars is not a bad deal if you are earning enough money per hour to justify it. In addition, even those who make less money are better off than those who "run a business" but end up making a net loss on their investments. Everyone has a different opinion, and this message is intended to assist new or prospective IBOs who are being enticed to join the Amway business opportunity. Those who are employed and those who own businesses should be successful. Either way, you have a chance to be successful. Keep that in mind!
