Many people have had the opportunity to witness a magic show or an illusionist. The majority of people are taken aback by the show, but they also realise that it is only a show and that it is not possible to truly saw people in half or make an elephant appear out of nowhere. I believe it is the same in Amway, but a large number of prospects are not aware that the diamonds are merely putting on a show for them. They are creating the appearance of wealth in the minds of potential customers.
If you lived next door to an average diamond or did their taxes, you would most likely be able to see right through their facade. Even though you might see the nice suits and appearances at a function, it is likely that these diamonds will be going home to middle-class homes and leading a relatively normal life. Potential recruits only see the show and conclude that these individuals live a first-class lifestyle on a daily basis. Of course, it's difficult to persuade people to invest in a business opportunity if you're not displaying expensive goods and luxurious lifestyles.
Consider the following scenario: a diamond earns $250k per year and has a wife and two children. In spite of taxes and other expenses such as medical insurance and business expenses, a diamond may still earn a respectable monthly income of approximately 6-8 thousand dollars. However, with that kind of income, it is impossible to purchase a home or a sports car in cash, let alone go on luxurious vacations. Moreover, if that diamond turns out to be a devout churchgoer, as many claim, then ten percent of their income should be given to the church each year.
After all is said and done, how can a diamond retire and enjoy life when his or her downline is quitting the business on a daily basis, as I've demonstrated here? Forget about the prospect of putting money into an IRA for the future; just think about it. No, the life of an exalted diamond is more than likely very ordinary, despite the fact that not having a job is an awesome perk of the position. To be sure, independence is wonderful, but as my upline diamond once said, what good is it if you don't have enough money to do anything you want with it? That is most certainly the case for a diamond of medium quality.
