There have been many meetings and functions where the diamonds have mentioned how your employment is causing you to be "just over broke" or that you are the "jackass of the boss." They attempted to denigrate jobs, as if doing one's job were some sort of horrible punishment for the general public. However, without their occupations, IBOs were unable to provide for their families, pay their bills, or make a fortune from the diamonds they worked so hard for. I remember watching films of individuals firing their alarm clocks or a limo showing up to someone's place of employment and whisking away someone who had recently achieved diamond status or reached some other pin level that I thought was cool.
If you are young, perhaps in your 20s or 30s, the prospect of working another 30 years may seem like a big endeavour, and a "shortcut" such as working 2-5 years sounds like a decent option, I can understand your perspective. It makes logical until you actually try to develop a firm and discover that the name reputation and products are tough to market, at which point it becomes absurd. You will reach a point where your investment in standing orders and functions will begin to accumulate. You begin to question whether you made the right decision in attempting to locate a shortcut to financial independence. You begin to question whether financial freedome is even possible in the Ama-world. What is the source of the diamonds' continued operation? When they "walk away," why don't they earn residual income for the rest of their lives while strolling along the beaches of the world?
You were fortunate in that you did not quit your job. While your current employment may not provide you with financial independence, it is probable that you are able to pay your bills and put food on the table for your family. That is more than most people can claim about their income from Amway, which is a significant difference. I used to be curious about how much money these diamonds were genuinely worth. A diamond lifestyle can leave them even more destitute and in debt than the individuals they recruit into Amway, despite the fact that they may earn a good income (if they are genuinely qualified). As a result of portraying a lifestyle that cannot be sustained on the kinds of earnings reported by Amway (i.e., an average diamond income of $147,000), I believe many diamonds are living month to month and worrying about their money. It was recently shown that although a triple diamond is in bankruptcy, they may not be able to maintain an expensive lifestyle, and certainly not without producing a considerable amount of money from selling functions and other tools to their downline members.
Instead of being excited about seeing a Mercedes Benz, ask your diamond how much money they make from Amway. Observe their responses and inquire as to why there aren't any diamonds taking advantage of the residual income for life and so leaving the Amway business? While working a job and putting money aside may not sound very appealing, it is a far preferable option than working a job and directing your earnings into things like standing orders, voicemail, and other activities that serve no use other than to make your bank account lighter. Financial security and long-term viability are only possible via hard effort and discipline. Many people who promote Amway mislead potential customers into believing that Amway is a quick way to get rich. It isn't, with the exception of the owners of Amway and a few old-school Diamonds who have power over the systems. The facts are in front of you; all you have to do is identify them.
