Recently, some blog visitors have recommended me to pay a visit with a diamond or a platinum, which I have done in the past and recently. It seemed to me that spending time with someone in the company might provide me with a fresh viewpoint. I'm not sure what my visitors thought I was trying to accomplish with this strategy. During my time as an independent business owner, I spent endless hours with my upline platinum and, on numerous occasions, with my upline diamond. My honest opinion is that they were just ordinary folks who made their living in a different way than the majority of the population did. It wasn't that their homes were more luxurious, that they drove more expensive vehicles, or that they possessed the kind of material affluence that is often represented at gatherings and meetings. and that's alright with me.
That is exactly what I would encourage prospects and independent business owners to do. Inquire about spending some quality time with your upline platinum and/or diamond. Ordinary people with ordinary lives outside of the business are more than likely to be encountered. So many people believe that the upline platinums and higher live in the lap of luxury, but this is not true unless they are living much over their means in order to maintain their position. I feel that many upline leaders live over their means, and I have evidence to support this claim. This is due to the fact that demonstrating tangible riches is essential in attracting and maintaining independent business owners. It is necessary to demonstrate financial prosperity and inspire people to dream about obtaining the same level of wealth in order to sign them up for Amway and the accompanying tools and training business. Unfortunately, the vast majority of those who register and attempt to develop an empire will eventually give up, and the vast majority of them, particularly those who attended the functions, will finish up with a net loss, even if they put in enormous amounts of time and effort to get started. Yes, some employees may eventually rise to higher positions in the company, but these individuals are the exception rather than the rule.
The practise of opening your books and providing financial information is standard in the real world and in genuine company. It is understandable that your upline will tell you that it is none of your concern; nevertheless, if you are being asked to put your time and money into a business opportunity, you have every right to seek this information. If your prospective sponsor refuses to provide this information, this should raise suspicions that they are hiding anything. It appears that many independent business owners (IBOs) exaggerate their income figures or attempt to shift the conversation. The fact that they can produce a photocopy of an upline's bonus check does not establish anything in and of itself. It is a profit and loss statement that prospects and IBOs should insist on seeing. It would provide an indication of the expenses that an IBO can expect to incur as well as the types of income that can be expected at various levels.
Joecool has no compelling reason to go to a diamond. However, I would strongly advise all IBOs and prospects to do so as well. When you look at a diamond up close and personal, you could be astonished to discover that it is not "all that" when you think it is.
