When some Amway apologists talked about gazing at the "fruit on the tree," I had a big chuckle in my stomach. One critic stated that his parents were in financial trouble and that he turned to his diamond since the diamond appeared to have fruit on the tree. I considered this viewpoint, and I agree that perhaps we should take a closer look at the fruit on the tree. During my previous LOS, WWDB, I seen diamonds get divorced, have their homes foreclosed, go bankrupt, and some even leave WWDB in search of greener fields. That is some serious fruit, to say the least.
Individual business owners (IBOs) and Amway prospects should ask their upline platinum or diamond to show them the fruit on their tree. Inquire about their (company) financial statements by contacting them. In reality, this is a regular practise in the world of business. Before selling his company a few years ago, a buddy of mine prepared three years' worth of income tax returns to be shown to potential purchasers of the company. In the event if your upline avoids the subject or tells you to mind your own business, red flags should appear all over the place.
As far as I'm aware, not a single major pin has ever shared its financial statements with investors. Why wouldn't they want to "display their fruit" if it made particular larger pins appear more attractive? They have no qualms about flashing diamond rings, designer outfits, sports automobiles, and other such adornments. What many independent business owners (IBOs) fail to recognise is that flashy automobiles and other gadgets are not proof of fruit on the tree. Diamonds may be in debt, and they may not even own some of the items that they flaunt around.
It has been suggested that some diamonds may rent luxury vehicles or mansions in order to give the impression that they own these assets. Some diamonds, maybe many diamonds, in the past have misled or embellished the facts about paying in cash for everything, including their homes and automobiles, according to reports. They also at times, have given the audience the impression that these luxuries are all purchased with Amway income, and we know that many diamonds have probably had supplemental income from the systems, or other business ventures outside of Amway.
We are also aware that some gems are in debt, but they are only attempting to depict a lavish lifestyle. The book Amway Motivational Organizations, Behind the Smoke and Mirrors by Ruth Carter is a good resource for more information. Despite the fact that some gems earn a considerable salary, this does not imply that they are financially independent or able to live the jetset lifestyle that many portray. It is possible that the ability to attract new prospects into the firm is a deluding illusion.
So, certainly, let us see the fruit on the tree for what it's worth. Is there any fruit on the tree?
