I have noticed a troubling trend among Amway independent business owners (IBOs) and IBO leaders over the years: they will advise their downline to put their faith in them. They should be trusted since they have already forged a trail. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel. Simply riding on the coattails of your upline will get you where you want to go. The system has been tested and proven. Many independent business owners (IBOs) take this to heart and put out significant effort. When they fail, their upline will shun them and tell them that they are to blame for their own failure. Their failure is their own fault, and they bear personal responsibility. Is it clear that Amway's top executives are taking personal responsibility for their actions?
It is NOT about IBOs who sign up and do nothing, or who never place an order, that I am talking about. Even though I believe that the fact that a large number of IBOs sign up and then do nothing raises additional questions about how these IBOs were recruited, I do not recall ever witnessing an IBO do nothing and then complain that Amway was a fraud or anything along those lines. I'm referring to IBOs who joined up and followed the counsel of their upline, which included devoting time and resources to carry out that guidance.
I have discovered, however, that many people who are critical of Amway and its techniques put forth significant effort, followed all instructions, and still did not achieve the level of success that their upline had promised, or in some cases, guaranteed. Last I heard, my former sponsor was still active in Amway and had been a member for more than 20 years. I don't believe he's ever gone beyond platinum, and I'm certain he was never a Q12 platinum in the first place. Some Amway apologists may consider becoming a platinum to be a bonus, however when you are hard core sold out to the systems, being a platinum is a break even or a modest profit-making enterprise. When you take into account the time spent by the husband and wife, these people are either breaking even or earning a fraction of the minimum wage. Is this the fantasy that will allow you to purchase mansions with a down payment of only a few thousand dollars? To be completely honest, I'm intrigued about the return on investment a platinum couple would receive for all of the hard work they put in. The chances of a loss are slim to none, unless they manage to advance through to the diamond stage. Then, if you "make it," your money will come from the masses who attempt to follow your advice and fail miserably. I couldn't live with the way things were set up. Perhaps the gems have already made too much of an investment to simply walk away?
What is particularly distressing is how individuals would point to the system as the source of any achievement while simultaneously ignoring the great majority of people for whom the system is ineffective. Sure, some people will be successful in Amway, but for every success, there are hundreds, if not thousands, or even tens of thousands of failures in the company. Moreover, if you use diamonds as a yardstick for success, the number of failures could number in the millions. Those who succeed are few and far between in contrast to the number of people who attempt it, as I have stated. In the United States, going diamond is probably less common than winning the lotto. One of the most concerning aspects is how leaders will make it appear as though anybody and everyone can achieve success, which is not the case.
If you succeed, the systems and your upline will take credit, but if you fail or quit, you are solely responsible. Are they the types of leaders or mentors from whom you would like to get advice?
Taking personal responsibility is one of the most important steps in constructing a prosperous Amway business. Because you are an independent distributor, you are, in all intents and purposes, running your own business. Because of this, it is incumbent upon you to accept full responsibility for your actions and the choices you make in order to realize your objectives. Let's take a more in-depth look at the significance of individual accountability in the Amway industry.
To begin, accepting ownership of one's own accomplishment is an essential component of exercising personal responsibility. Although Amway will give you with training, support, and tools to assist you in the development of your business, it is ultimately up to you to put in the necessary effort and move on with your plans. You are the one who is responsible for establishing goals, coming up with a plan, and acting in a manner that is consistent with the plan in order to attain those goals.
Being personally responsible also involves accepting responsibility for the outcomes of your actions. If you're not seeing the success in your Amway business that you want, it's crucial to take a close look at your own actions and decisions to determine the areas in which you can make improvements. This may need you to modify your thinking, develop new abilities, seek extra training or help, or all of the above.
Having a constructive frame of mind and attitude is an additional component of accepting personal responsibility. It takes time, effort, and determination to build a successful Amway business, and it's crucial to keep focused and motivated even in the face of problems or failures. Building a successful Amway business takes time. You are the one who is responsible for ensuring that you keep a happy attitude and frame of mind at all times, even when things do not go as planned.
In addition, taking personal responsibility involves accepting accountability for one's own personal and professional growth. Amway offers a plethora of tools and chances for training that can assist you in expanding your skills and knowledge; nevertheless, it is up to you to make the most of these resources and engage in your own development.
Taking responsibility for one's actions means, among other things, treating other people with respect and honesty. Because you are establishing relationships with both consumers and other Amway distributors in your capacity as a distributor for Amway, it is essential that you conduct all of your dealings in an honest and upstanding manner. As the owner of a business, it is up to you to cultivate a trustworthy and dependable reputation in the community.
In conclusion, taking personal responsibility is an essential ingredient in the recipe for constructing a prosperous Amway business. Maintaining a good attitude and frame of mind, investing in your own personal and professional development, treating others with respect and honesty, and taking ownership of your own achievement are all required components of this mindset. You can establish a successful Amway business and create the life you want to live if you are willing to accept personal responsibility and take the necessary steps to achieve your objectives.
