Seeing the strategy as a young IBO, I thought it was doable to go direct and find six (6) downlines that could do the same thing as I could. I wasn't sure if I had a realistic possibility of succeeding, but the presentation made logical, so I went ahead and did it. I basically created my organisation on the basis of excitement, and it appeared as though the method would be viable. Unfortunately, my financial situation did not improve as I rose through the ranks. I did not "earn" $200 at the 1000 PV level, and I did not "earn" $1000 a month at the 4000 PV level, as my upline had instructed me to do. Even though I knew the parameters they taught me, the truth was that my bosses instructed everyone to invest whatever earnings we did make into purchasing more instruments.
Those under my leadership were also taught to get out of debt, which appeared to be sound advice on the surface, but at the same time, any disposable income that remained was to be channelled into tools, and for those who did not manage to get out of debt, they were told it was okay to go deeper into debt, but only if it was used to "invest" in their businesses by purchasing additional tools. In this case, it appears that upline's advise was solely for his or her own benefit, with little or no regard for the individual success of an IBO. Channel your money into tools (i.e., the profits of your upline), and don't worry about your own business.
During my time in WWDB, my upline informed me that WWDB was the company that was breaking the most new diamonds and that WWDB diamonds were the most profitable. So, here we are, many, many years later, and where have all of the fresh gems disappeared to? Aside from diamonds from other countries, there have only been (I believe) less than four new WWDB diamonds sold in the United States since I left the company. I should mention that certain diamonds have decided to leave the company. Now, I could be completely incorrect, but even if it was a few more than four new diamonds, it is a dismal success rate, especially considering the amount of money spent by downline on tools and the boasts made by upline regarding the tools themselves.
Some WWDB diamonds have also ended up in foreclosure as a result of the foreclosure process. What happened to the integrity and financial competence that these executives were so proud of? Where has the widespread success and long-term financial security that has been promised to everyone gone? According to my calculations, more diamonds and emeralds were removed from qualification than new pins were created. The company was positioned as one that would withstand the test of time, and this proved true. Unfortunately, I believe that WWDB, as well as the Amway opportunity that was presented by WWDB, has been a dismal failure.
There is little evidence of achievement, just the same old stale gems flaunting a lifestyle that some of them appear to be unable to support any longer. Where has all the success gone?
Many years have passed and we are still waiting...........
Since I've Been Away from Amway......
Many people find that the decision to quit Amway to be a challenging one. The corporation, which is also known as the American Way Association or simply Amway, has been in operation for almost 60 years and has a dedicated customer base of Independent operation Owners (IBOs) who believe in its business model and goods. Leaving Amway, on the other hand, can be a source of relief and a step towards a better life for some people.
If you've recently left Amway, you might be curious about what life is like now that you're on the other side of the company. The following is a list of experiences that are fairly typical among former employees of the company:
One of the most common feelings reported by those who have left Amway is a sense of relief from the continual pressure to sell items, recruit new Independent Business Owners (IBOs), attend meetings and events, and reach financial targets. Many Independent Business Owners (IBOs) have described how they felt as though they were always working, and leaving Amway can be an opportunity to unwind and enjoy life without the continual pressure to succeed.
Rebuilding relationships: Amway can be an all-consuming company that consumes a lot of time and energy, frequently at the expense of personal relationships. In order to avoid this, it is important to make an effort to rebuild these connections. When you leave Amway, you may have the chance to get back in touch with friends and family members whom you may have neglected while you were working to build your business. In addition to that, it gives them the opportunity to meet new people outside of the Amway community.
When you put all of your attention on growing an Amway business, it's easy to lose track of your other passions and interests in the process. However, this presents an opportunity to explore other areas of interest. Leaving Amway can present an opportunity to rediscover past hobbies and pursue them in a way that was previously hindered by the demands of the company.
Financial challenges Leaving Amway might present financial challenges for former Independent Business Owners (IBOs). This could be because of the amount of money that they put into their business or because of the loss of revenue that they experienced from Amway. If you do decide to leave Amway, it is critical to have a strategy in place for how you will manage your finances.
Personal development and growth: Leaving Amway can be an opportunity to focus on one's own personal development and progress. After leaving the organization, many former IBOs feel that they have matured and gained a deeper understanding of who they are as individuals.
Altering one's viewpoint: Being involved in the Amway business makes it simple to acquire a particular frame of mind and point of view towards life. Leaving Amway can present an opportunity to gain exposure to new viewpoints and approaches to problem solving.
A sense of being judged is unfortunately something that can come along with quitting Amway. Other Independent firm Owners (IBOs) may perceive you as a "quitter" or as someone who was unable to successfully run the firm. It is essential to keep in mind that quitting Amway is a decision that is solely yours, and that you should act in a way that is in the best interests of both you and your family.
In conclusion, quitting Amway might elicit a wide range of feelings and bring about a variety of new experiences. It is essential to carefully consider the advantages and disadvantages of each option before settling on a choice that will benefit both you and your family the most. You should keep in mind that there is life outside the Amway business, and that you have the potential to prosper and be successful in other aspects of your life if you do decide to quit the company.
