Many Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) believe they have improved as a result of their association with other Amway IBOs and because a component of the system they are a part of encourages them to read self-help books. They are also taught that as a side advantage of being in the Amway business, they become kinder and more considerate individuals. To be sure, many independent company owners (IBOs) believe that they established a firm not to make money, but to become "nicer." Although the entire premise is absurd, upper management utilises this strategy to divert attention away from the reality that IBOs are not producing money. As a result, they will claim that Amway transforms you into a wonderful person, or that Amway will save your marriage, or some other nonsense.
I completely agree that positive books and association with others can be beneficial to some people, but for many, it is not a genuine "nicer" person who is being promoted, but rather a false character that is being used to attract future Amway downlines. That was the impression I got from my former sponsor. For me, the "nicer" appeared to be as false as phoney can be because I had known him for a long time. It is possible to find numerous examples of false niceness displayed by some independent business owners (IBOs). For making negative comments about those who have opposing viewpoints, even Amway's most vocal supporter (David Steadson AKA IBOFightback) was labelled a "cyber bully" by an Amway corporate blogger and others. Those who did not believe that Amway was their salvation have been referred to as "broke" or "losers," among other things. Is this an example of how to be a more pleasant person? It doesn't appear to be the case to me.
There are comments on this site, which I think are made by Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs), that make implicit, subtle threats, and in some cases, actual threats against me and others. Some of these remarks are not at all subtly couched. As a matter of fact, in my blogging experience, it is almost always the IBOs and Amway apologists who resort to name calling. I believe this is due to the fact that the facts are on the side of the Amway detractors. For example, it is a proven truth that the vast majority of IBOs never make a dollar, even when you exclude those who "do nothing." Looking at system IBOs, the vast majority of them never make enough money to cover their voicemail charges, let alone anything else in their daily lives. The IBOs will claim that they are paying for their education in the same way that a college student would. College students, on the other hand, can claim their education on a resume even if they did not complete their degree. What value does your Amway education provide to your CV, aside from providing a good laugh to potential employers?
Even the highly coveted diamond level appears to be a ruse, especially when diamonds quit, resign, or simply walk away from the firm without the permanent passive income that they were promised. The bankruptcy of a triple diamond exposed some poor financial decisions and planning, and his revenue as a triple diamond was not particularly outstanding when compared to the size of his business and the length of time he had been in the business. It is estimated that this triple diamond earned around half a million dollars from Amway. A solid income, but not one that will allow you to pay for homes in cash, possess a fleet of sports vehicles, or fly around the world in a private aircraft. If people try to depict a life of excessive wealth, they may end up in a lot of debt because of their diamond business. Why should diamonds be any different? After all, many Americans are in debt.
So, IBOs, do you consider yourself to be a kinder person? Is it clear from your words and actions that you care? Moreover, how does this convert into generating a profit from your Amway business?
