When I started with Amway, one of the things my upline taught me, and I believe is still taught today in various organisations, was that winners join the company and failures do not. Alternatively, you could argue that you were a winner since you were taking steps to improve your financial situation, whilst those who did not were losers. or a person who has lost his or her mind. Of course, the upline who made this statement had no awareness of people who were not affiliated with Amway at the time. Some of them may have previously been financially secure, while others may have been taking steps to improve their financial situation. If these uplines, who are known for promoting "positive," had to resort to labelling individuals losers just because they did not believe that Amway was the greatest thing that ever happened to mankind, I'm baffled. It's only positive if it has something to do with Amway, and everything else is negative. Do any of you have a problem with this? I was perplexed as to why Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) treated people differently simply because they did not join Amway.
In many games or athletic events, there will be a winner and a loser. In many games or sporting events, there will be a winner and a loser. Losing a game does not automatically equate to being a loser, and a team that wins the game would not imply that the losing team was a loser. Think about a Super Bowl-winning coach standing on the sidelines after a game and declaring that the opposing team was a bunch of broken-minded, gutless losers. Isn't it something you'd like to hear? That would never happen in the real world, but it happens all the time in the Amway/IBO world. Rich DeVos, the owner of Amway, had once stated in a recorded message that just because people do not agree with you (paraphrased) about Amway does not automatically make them losers, and that independent business owners (IBOs) should refrain from labelling individuals losers. According to what I've read, this was written by upline to put pressure on downline IBOs to "never quit."
People's jobs are also being questioned as a result of all of this. That a position is synonymous with insults such as "barely over broke" or "jackass of the boss," among others. Many IBOs have aspirations and desires that include quitting their jobs so that they can sleep in till "the crack of noon" and enjoy a life of luxury, among other things. Ironically, it is the majority of IBOs' jobs that continue to generate income, allowing them to pay their bills and provide for their families. An IBO's responsibilities also include funding their Amway and AMO expenses, such as product purchases and functions, as well as voicemail, among other things. Most people would be unable to even join Amway or purchase any tools if they did not have a job. Unfortunately, most Independent Business Owners (IBOs) will not make any money in Amway and will be required to continue working at their current occupations. I do not feel that someone who earns a decent livelihood through employment is a loser in life. Ironically, many of those who disparage others as losers and bankrupt are themselves not even making a profit from their Amway business!
Yes, there will be winners and losers in this company, just as there will be winners and losers in sports. The question is if you are the one who has the authority to determine who is and who isn't allowed to participate. In addition, I believe that IBOs are absolutely sabotaging any future business opportunities through their actions. Consider the following scenario: I went to a store to purchase something, but the item was not available on that specific day, so I did not make a purchase and simply left. As I walk out the door, the business owner tells me that I am a loser for not purchasing things from him. Is it likely that I'll return? It's really unlikely. If an IBO sincerely believes that they are a store owner, they should consider all possibilities as possible customers, whether they are in the future or present. In the event that your upline claims that folks who are not interested are losers, you should offer him a mirror. Alternatively, you may inform your upline that when you point a finger at someone, there are even more fingers pointing back at yourself.
Amway is a firm that has been in operation for over 60 years and engages in multi-level marketing, sometimes known as MLM. Independent business owners, also known as IBOs, are responsible for the majority of the company's product sales. These entrepreneurs receive commissions not only on their own sales but also on the sales of those they bring into the company. Although the majority of Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) are prosperous and well-respected members of their communities, there have been occasions where some IBOs have been accused of having an arrogant attitude toward members of the general public who are not participating in the business.
Some Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) may have a superior attitude toward non-IBOs because they mistakenly believe that their engagement in the business gives them an advantage over other people or makes them more informed. It's possible that they consider themselves to be a member of an exclusive club of business owners who have access to a plethora of unique chances, tools, and training. It is true that Amway offers its Independent Business Owners (IBOs) significant training and support, but it is imperative that IBOs keep in mind that this does not in any way make them naturally more capable than other people. Everyone possesses their own one-of-a-kind set of experiences, abilities, and qualities that are valued and deserving of respect.
It's possible that some Amway IBOs look down on people who aren't IBOs because they believe that the Amway business model is the one and only method to achieve success and financial freedom. People who have traditional employment or engage in other forms of entrepreneurship could be seen as unambitious or lacking in vision by these individuals. Even though it is true that the Amway business model has the potential to be a powerful vehicle for monetary success, Independent Business Owners (IBOs) need to be aware that there are many alternative roads to success and fulfillment than the Amway business model. Everyone has their own specific objectives and objectives in life, and it is essential for people to respect one another and support one another in their efforts to achieve these objectives.
In addition, some Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) may have a condescending attitude toward non-IBOs since they see non-IBOs more as potential clients or recruiters than as individuals who have their own specific interests and requirements in life. They might view non-IBOs as customers or prospects who need to be persuaded, rather than as people with whom they can develop true relationships. This attitude has the potential to be off-putting and disrespectful, and it has the potential to bring the legitimacy and integrity of the Amway business into question.
In the end, it is essential for Independent Business Owners (IBOs) of Amway to keep in mind that everyone, regardless of whether they are active in the business or not, is deserving of respect and dignity. IBOs have the ability to develop solid relationships, acquire the trust and loyalty of their customers and future recruits, and grow their business when they demonstrate compassion, empathy, and understanding toward others. IBOs have the ability to contribute to the development of an inclusive and respectful culture within the Amway community if they acknowledge the value and worth of every individual member of the group.
