As an IBO, one of the things I was taught was the phrase "fake it till you make it." As far as I was aware, you were expected to perform in a successful manner even if you had not yet reached your goal level of achievement. I believe you had a better opportunity to prospect additional potential IBOs by seeming to be successful than you would have had by showing the truth. To put it another way, this is deception in its most basic form. In my opinion, it is less than honest to recruit others to a business opportunity in which you are deceitful, which I believe defines my former WWDB upline leaders. What is equally terrible is that I feel this is still being taught today, which is a shame. Part of this is demonstrated by the fact that IBOs dress in business attire to all meetings.
I suppose this shouldn't come as a surprise to those who are familiar with the Amway industry because I feel that diamonds may also be used to accentuate success. WWDB used to have, and continues to operate, a significant function known as "Dream Nite." Diamonds will parade on stage while a slide display depicting all of the lifestyle options available to those who reach the diamond level will be shown. What they teach is that if you do what they do, you will be able to have what they have. But, in reality, can you?
When you take into account the Amway income and the tool income, new diamonds in the United States, or WWDB for that matter, earn in the range of $200K to $250K per year, according to industry estimates. As impressive as that income appears to be, when you consider the costs of taxation, health-care coverage for employees, and the extravagant lifestyle that diamond companies promote with fleets of cars, mansions, and flashy jewellery and clothing, it becomes clear that diamonds are also engaging in a game of "fake it until you make it" as well. Because of this, I believe many gems are actually in debt and/or living from paycheck to paycheck, much like the working stiffs they despise during their appearances. According to testimony and online comments, IBOs who saw their gems were often renting expensive automobiles and other luxury items to show off because their incomes were not sufficient to support the lifestyles they portrayed on their websites. A well-known WWDB triple diamond is rumoured to have gone through bankruptcy, while another has had their home repossessed on a couple of years ago. It's all building up to what I'm beginning to suspect. This means that diamonds have, at the very least, middle to upper middle class lifestyles. Not that this is a negative thing, but it is a long cry from the dishonest portrayal of the diamond lifestyle that is prevalent in popular culture. If you take out the income from the tools, the picture becomes less than rosy, in my opinion.
In other words, IBOs and diamonds can "fake it," but I have a feeling that many of them will never "make it."
It is also important to note that teaching this and practising "faking it" is less than honest.
Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) have been the target of a number of accusations, including the accusation that they "fake it but don't make it." This complaint claims that some independent business owners (IBOs) present a false appearance of success and wealth, when in reality, they are struggling to make ends meet. When assessing the validity of this criticism, the following are some important considerations to keep in mind:
Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) are Independent Business Owners It is essential to keep in mind that Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) are independent business owners who are accountable for the management of their own companies. There may be some IBOs who are having a difficult time expanding their businesses, while others may be thriving in their endeavors. In any kind of enterprise, there will always be some people who are prosperous and other people who are not.
The importance of perception lies in the fact that it is one of the most important contributors to the success of any company. Amway Independent Business Owners are aware of the need of presenting a favorable image and cultivating the impression that they are successful. This may be dressed in a businesslike manner, driving a great automobile, or residing in an area that is highly sought after. While it's possible that some IBOs are living beyond their means in order to give the impression that they're successful, others might just be investing in their business and their image in order to give the impression that they are successful.
The Truth About Business Expenses In order to launch a successful company, one must dedicate a substantial amount of their time, energy, and finances. Amway Independent Business Owners are not an anomaly; like other business owners, they may spend a large amount of money on business-related training, marketing, and other expenses. Even though these expenditures might not result in profits right away, they are essential for the long-term growth and development of a profitable business.
The importance of having a persistent attitude It takes both time and perseverance to build a successful company. Amway Independent Business Owners are aware that success is not a given and that they may have to put in a lot of effort over the course of several years before they see meaningful results. There is a possibility that some IBOs are giving off a misleading impression of their short-term success; nevertheless, this does not necessarily imply that they will not achieve long-term success if they continue to work hard to expand their firm.
The Importance of Honesty In conclusion, it is essential for Amway Independent Business Owners to be truthful with both themselves and others about the conditions under which their company operates. Although it is crucial to present a positive image, it is equally as necessary to be honest about the difficulties and problems that come with developing a business. IBOs that are honest not only with themselves but also with others have a greater chance of building a business that is both sustainable and successful over the long term.
In conclusion, while it is true that some Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) may "fake it until they make it," this critique needs to be assessed in the context of the reality of growing a business. Amway Independent firm Owners are not an exception to the rule that perception, investment, perseverance, and honesty are key variables in the success of any firm. In the end, the success of any Amway Independent Business Owner (IBO) will be determined by their capacity to construct a business that is both profitable and sustainable over the long term.
