One of the ways that upline diamonds would sell employment was to say that it was just a matter of exchanging hours for bucks. As if having a job where you were compensated for your time was humiliating. It's all relative, in my opinion. Because many IBos are young and may be working in more entry-level positions, your hourly income may not be very good. If you make $10 an hour, you may find yourself in financial difficulty, and it may take some time until your skills and knowledge improve to the point where your expertise is worth more money. What if you had a $1000 per hour job that paid $160,000 each month? Is it a bad deal to exchange hours for dollars? I don't believe so!
Having a business, on the other hand, might be beneficial or detrimental. You are losing money if your Amway business earns less than $100 per month and you spend $200 on functions, standing orders, and other training and motivational materials. You'd be better off doing volunteer work. That is still a better option than working for a company that is losing money. I believe most people would agree that a platinum group has at least 100 IBOs. As a result, a platinum IBO is among the top 1% of all IBOs. According to what I've heard, the platinum level is where you start to break even or make a small profit, depending on your tool usage. If platinums are barely breaking even, the remaining 99+ percent of IBOs are most likely losing money. What is the hourly rate for that?
I believe that uplines deceive IBOs into believing that a job is bad. After all, trading hours for bucks sounds like a kind of indentured servitude. But, in the end, your bottom line is what matters. If you are an IBO with little or no downline and/or little in the way of non-IBO/customer sales, you are losing money every month if you attend functions and purchase standing orders. Your Amway labour of 10-12 hours per week is costing you money! However, if you work 10-12 hours a week, even at minimum wage, you could earn around $300-350 per month gross. You earn between $250 and $300 after taxes. At the very least, exchanging hours for dollars guarantees a profit at the end of the month.
Uplines deceive you into adopting a "business attitude," leading you to believe that working for a net loss is normal. IBOs should understand that a firm that advertises itself as low-risk and low-overhead should be one where you can start making money right immediately. Instead, IBos are taught to delay gratification or to reinvest any profit in the form of tools and functions, resulting in a net loss. If that's the case, I'd rather trade cash for hours.
Remember, if you're generating enough money per hour, exchanging hours for dollars isn't a bad deal. Those who make less money are still better off than those who "manage a business" yet lose money. It's all relative, and maybe this message will be of assistance to new or potential IBOs who are considering joining the Amway business opportunity. Good luck to everyone who has a job or owns a business. Either way, you can be successful. Keep it in mind!
