In one of the more amusing comments on my blog, IBOs express their dissatisfaction with Amway by asking, "Why don't we propose a better solution?" I assume it's not enough that facts and experiences are presented here so that information searchers may find and make informed decisions about whether or not to join Amway, but we also need to recommend better alternatives? Well, I'll throw some ideas out there. Even though I am not recommending that anyone listen to my thoughts, nor do I believe that you should act on what you read here without first conducting your own due diligence and conducting your own soul searching, the following are my thoughts on what may be a better alternative to Amway:
1. Become a more responsible steward of the money you already possess. Many individuals earn enough money, but they spend far too much of it on items they don't need or don't want. For example, a $5 cup of Starbucks coffee on a daily basis. Saving and investing with discipline are essential. It is possible to save a significant amount of money over the course of a month or an entire year by eliminating certain optional expenses. Even giving up a soft drink with your lunch can help you save money, and water is generally considered to be better for your health.
2. Take on a second job and set aside a percentage of your earnings for savings and investment. 3. Not only will you have more discretionary cash, but you will also have extra money to put down for your retirement years. Try to pick a career that isn't too stressful and that you will enjoy doing as well. Working part time at a sporting goods store or a hardware store, for example, would be something I would enjoy doing.
3. Establish a modest business of your own. The most serious problem with Amway, in my opinion, is the seemingly infinite supply of training that uplines are encouraged to sell. It results in the majority of "severe" IBOs incurring a net loss. In contrast to Amway items, you can select a specialised product and sell it on sites like eBay or Craigslist. Another form of small business could be something as simple as learning how to make modest household repairs or laying hardwood flooring, for example. These kind of services are quite widespread, and they may be quite profitable..
4. Don't do anything. In light of the fact that the vast majority of business development IBOs lose money, doing nothing, while amusing, is actually preferable to losing money as a result of functions and standing orders. In addition, doing nothing requires significantly less work.
5. Invest more time in your family's well-being. The irony is that many IBOs have this as a goal, but they actually spend less time with their families as a result of their Amway-related obligations.
That's all there is to it, guys. There are various alternatives to investing your time and money in the Amway business and Amway motivational organisations that you might want to consider instead. While the suggestions above are merely suggestions, only you and your family can determine what is best for you and your family. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide to pursue.
