It was one of the misconceptions that my Amway upline used to propagate, and which he most certainly continues to do so, that you could develop a multi-million dollar Amway business working only 8-12 hours per week. Taking an informed guess, this number is utilised since, while it still reflects time, it is most likely less hours than working a part-time job. Nonetheless, let's take a closer look at this 8-12 hour a week commitment. (For example, some organisations might teach 10-15 hours per week, and so on.)
Suppose you listen to one (1) cd/audio per day, as recommended by upline, and read 15 minutes per day from one of their "success" books, you have already spent close to nine to 10 hours of your time doing nothing productive for your Amway business. In reality, both activities will cost you money and will yield no practical results. If you spend an additional 15 minutes per day contacting people, you will have spent close to 12 hours per week contacting people. Is it possible for you to find additional time to demonstrate the plan and to grow your name and contact list? Was there any thought given to customer service, at least for IBOs who might really have some customers?
And what about going to meetings and social gatherings? These are also non-profit activities that do not generate cash. It's no surprise that the vast majority of IBOs fail to produce a profit. As a result, they are compelled to spend their time indulging in activities that generate little revenue for their company. However, certain industries who manufacture and sell these non-revenue producing activities, such as listening to a CD or audio, generate a significant amount of income as a result of their existence. To my eyes, it's nothing more than an intricate game of bait and switch perpetrated by the upper echelon. They assure you that their technique is infallible and that if you don't give up, you will be able to complete the course. This is not correct.
You sell the prospect on the idea of achieving financial independence. You tell them that Amway is their greatest bet at making it big. It is your responsibility to inform them that you can assist them and that the business's tools (standing order, voicemail, books, and functions) are essential to their success. Those who are serious enough to commit to the system are unlikely to resign without putting up some effort, which will allow their uplines to gain some great earnings before these downline realise they aren't profitable and quit themselves. Because many independent business owners (IBOs) are supported by family and friends, there aren't many formal complaints filed against the company. The majority of individuals accept it as a life lesson and do not voice their dissatisfaction.
However, independent business owners and information seekers should not be deluded into believing that by spending 8-12 hours a week they will be able to build a financial empire. But that would be a long shot. The ratio of very successful Amway IBOs to the number of new recruits is smaller than the number of winners in a lottery.
