Sometimes I get a kick out of IBOs who make outrageous claims, then stutter and bumble their way through the process of backing up their assertions, or at the very least offering a vocal justification of their statements. I believe that many IBOs, especially newcomers, are overflowing with excitement, but are missing in practical Amway business expertise and experience. Certain groups adhere to a particular philosophy, which can occasionally be heard in the course of a discourse. However, I feel that in the majority of cases, the philosophy is one of words rather than deeds. Many of the assertions made by detractors appear to be supported by Amway's own statistics, such as the minimal quantity of sales to persons who are not Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs).
I recently came across a blog post by a WWDB IBO who claimed that he had received a substantial tax return from the government, primarily as a result of his company deductions. He also states that his Amway business is thriving and that he is earning a good living from his efforts. As a tax novice, I cannot tell you if you would receive a refund if you were to write off losses on your firm, or whether you would really pay more taxes if you were truly making money because your taxable income would be larger. It's remarkable how some IBOs would attempt to fake success in ways that are obvious indications that they are putting on a show.
Other evident ways include IBOs who claim to be fresh new in Amway but are generating more than $5000 a month despite their claims. Now, I do believe that it is "possible" to make money in Amway, and there are certainly some people who do make a good living from the company, but in most cases, these are entrenched higher-ups in the organisation. It is estimated that 95% of all independent business owners (IBOs) do not make any significant money from Amway, and that 95% of all IBOs who participate in Amway's teaching systems (such as Network 21, WWDB, or BWW) do so at a net loss. This is due to the fact that most IBOs' monthly expenditures for voicemail, functions, books, and standing orders exceed (by a significant margin) their monthly income.
Even diamonds who want to be seen in flashy cars and devices are allowed to do so. Even when you factor in the tools income, I believe that many of these diamonds are not making as much as they would have you believe. In fact, if you simply get a calculator and figure out what a flashy lifestyle costs, you will quickly realise that it is simply not sustainable on Amway earnings alone. The earnings of those diamonds who quit or went through legal actions demonstrate that, while a diamond (or higher) income is good, it will not allow them to maintain the kinds of lifestyles they talk about at Dream Nite celebrations or other functions where tremendous wealth is presented. Diamonds are very likely in debt, just like the rest of society, according to some estimates. Why should they be any different, especially given the fact that they clearly lead lives of luxury?
They may be deceiving (some) fresh possibilities, but they do not deceive me, and I hope they do not deceive you as well.
