One element that appears to be similar among IBOs is the fact that they are in denial about their situation. They have a genuine belief that their uplines are looking out for their best interests and that their uplines are motivated by their achievement. That is not something I believe to be true. In the case of Amway, if uplines were actually making a fortune, why would a downline IBO be required to pay for virtually every amount of assistance they receive from upline leaders?
For the purpose of demonstrating the plan, you would be required to pay to attend an open meeting as well as to pay for your visitors, regardless of whether or not they register as a result of the presentation. If you want to communicate with your upline and downlines, you must pay for voicemail. The cost of standing orders is deducted from your paycheck, and you may be charged twice if you were present at a gathering when the standing order was recorded. You'll also have to pay for books and other supplies.
Furthermore, many independent business owners (IBOs) turn their backs when confronted with unpleasant facts. For example, several independent business owners (IBOs) claim that a well-known triple diamond was involved in bankruptcy proceedings. They continue to edify and pay for financial advice from a man who could not even manage his own financial affairs at the time of the interview. They believe that Amway can save marriages even when the leaders who are preaching this are themselves going through a divorce. This is similar to upline simply revising history, while downlines simply accept it without question. Many independent business owners (IBOs) do not even consider it a problem if certain upline boldly said that there were no profits from tools in the past. This is puzzling to me because tool earnings are still veiled in secret, and downline simply believes that they will eventually receive a cut, even in the absence of a formal compensation plan and agreement.
I feel that a large number of IBOs are simply in denial. They put their faith in upline, and upline takes advantage of them. IBOs are told they are successful simply for attending a gathering, despite the fact that they may be losing money month after month in their business. It is possible that they will be taught that the Amway company is not about making money, but rather about making friends. It is possible that they will be told that they are nicer persons as a result of their engagement in Amway. What far too many independent company owners (IBOs) fail to see is that they are in denial about their businesses. Most independent business owners (IBOs) are losing money, albeit in little amounts, such as $100 or $150 each month. For the dedicated, it may be even more. However, they are trained to reject these obvious truths and to deny that there is a problem in the first place.
In the hopes of informing information searchers and perhaps new IBOs who have not yet been thoroughly indoctrinated, some of these approaches will be made available to them. When looking at this opportunity, I recommend folks to ask tough questions, demand answers, and conduct due diligence before making a decision. The reality is that only a small percentage of people ever make a profit, and people should be aware of this before getting engaged. Don't try to hide the obvious.
