It occurs to the nicest of individuals from time to time, and it usually happens quietly and subtly. These are the indicators that you are becoming indoctrinated, and you are most likely causing irritation among your friends and family members as a result. It may not be immediately evident, but the shift is taking place and will eventually become quite noticeable to those who are familiar with you. I hope this has been of assistance:
You're driven to recruit as many people as you possibly can. Even misrepresentation or plain lies may be used to entice individuals into attendance at your meetings. Within a short period of time, your family and friends will avoid you like the plague. In the end, you'll find yourself spending a lot of time in malls, coffee shops, and other public places looking for potential recruits. When it comes to conversing with others and pretending to be interested in other people and their interests, you can nearly come off as false. You will go to any length to persuade someone to "see the big picture."
You are encouraged to build an unrealistic and irrational fervour for the products in order to maximise your profits. Even going so far as to justify the high quality of toilet paper or to refer to the products as prestigious is an extreme measure. You might even fight over the quality of energy drinks or about phytonutrients, which are things you might not even be aware of at the time. You will fight about concentration or rationalise spending extra money on common everyday cleaning items in order to build your Amway business, as appropriate.
If you don't put out enough effort, you will be subjected to a slew of demands, promises, and veiled threats of failure. You "must" participate in promotional materials and motivating seminars if you want to advance your career. i.e. If you give up, you are a loser who is condemned to die poor and miserable. Alternatively, you may allow someone to steal your dream. It is through these ludicrous assertions that your upline manages to keep you hooked. Are you not earning enough money? More CDs should be played, and more functions should be attended! Why aren't you sponsoring your downline? More CDs should be played, and more functions should be attended! Having difficulty selling your products? More CDs should be played, and more functions should be attended!
Because the system is promoted as the means by which you will become phenomenally wealthy, you will be under pressure to give up any conflicting or competing hobbies, such as your bowling league or golf club. Except for the pursuit of financial independence, there is nothing else that matters in life. All of your activities in life must contribute to the success of your Amway business and have an impact on your financial future. You are uninterested in any other activity until they have an impact on your financial future. In your pursuit of the elusive financial grail, you may find yourself alienating even your closest family and friends. Even if Amway is causing you to lose money on a monthly basis, this is still true for you. However, because you are a member of Amway, you are a "winner."
Your upline quickly rises to the position of your most trusted buddy. Your thoughts and sentiments are influenced in part by the CDs, meetings, and functions that you attend and attend. Because of your unwavering allegiance to your upline, people in your life who you may have relied on for your whole life suddenly become second-class citizens in your eyes.
Do any of these actions ring a bell with you? If you're like this, you've essentially turned into an Amway drone.
