Many independent business owners (IBOs) join Amway with the expectation of becoming diamonds and having a simple life after that. No longer employed, no longer under the control of a superior, and living in the lap of luxury After all, uplines parade themselves on stage, displaying slide shows and photographs of jets, mansions, sports vehicles, and other luxurious items. Apparently, they don't always inform the audience that the trappings may not truly be owned by the performers or the company. It still generates a lot of interest among the audience, and the speaker may encourage everyone to imagine themselves enjoying the same luxury - provided they listen to their advise and follow their approach.
Surprisingly, the majority of IBOs accomplish absolutely nothing. In fact, many who sign up never place an order, and the vast majority of those who sign up will not renew their business after one year. These people, on the other hand, who essentially do nothing, are not the victims of deception. These people who "don't do anything" got back what they put into the company. It is the IBOs who put in the necessary effort and invest in what are frequently marketed as "foolproof" tools who fall prey to the deception of the system's advocates. In many cases, new and continuing IBOs who are motivated to achieve are informed that they "need" the system, that they cannot possible succeed without the tools, just as a carpenter cannot construct a house without using a hammer and nails. So many IBOs, desiring a better life, will make the financial investment in the tools, believing that with that investment and a little elbow grease, they will be successful.
Unfortunately, the system does not function. Of course, there are some new diamonds discovered every now and again, but these are the exception rather than the norm. WWDB, my former LOS, appears to be moving backwards. Compared to when I was working in the diamond industry several years ago, I feel there are less diamonds available today. Furthermore, several WWDB gems were involved in house foreclosures or bankruptcy, and some were forced to leave the company entirely.
There is ZERO, I repeat, ZERO unbiased proof that any of these system tools may assist someone in building an Amway business, according to the Amway Corporation. Demonstrating the success of a system by displaying a new diamond on stage shows nothing. What the diamonds don't reveal is that there are hundreds of thousands of individuals who may have attempted the same thing and failed. It's the equivalent of announcing the winners of a lottery. Sure, there will be winners, but the truth and the normal outcome will be a slew of losers pooling their resources in order for one huge winner to emerge from the ashes. Despite the fact that the Amway company is not a game of chance, the final outcome and outcomes are similar to those of a lottery.
Despite the fact that Amway diamonds and promoters enjoy showing people "what is possible," they fail to share with prospects "what is likely." You should be interested in knowing "what is likely" or "what are the normal results" when studying a business prospect. If people simply look for the best-case scenario results and ignore what is most likely to happen, they are almost certain to fail in their endeavours. The average outcome for most IBOs is that they spend $300 per month on items, many of which they have never used before, and another $200 to $300 per month on training that does not function. That is usual and likely for many independent business owners who are actively involved in the business. Their monthly income is approximately $10, which represents a return on their time and financial investment. Sure, there are some diamonds that earn more than $100,000 per year through Amway, but it is an exceptional circumstance and not the most common outcome of becoming a member of the Amway organisation.
Someone looking at a franchise opportunity, such as McDonald's, will want to know how much the average owner/operator earns in order to make an informed decision. The best case scenario is not helpful, and while a genuine business owner may be interested in the best case scenario, the same owner is likely to be more interested in the most likely outcomes. Why should Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) be any different?
