In one of the more amusing comments on my blog, IBOs express their dissatisfaction with Amway by asking, "Why don't we propose a better solution?" I assume it's not enough that facts and experiences are presented here so that information searchers may find and make informed decisions about whether or not to join Amway, but we also need to recommend better alternatives? Well, I'll throw some ideas out there. Even though I am not recommending that anyone listen to my thoughts, nor do I believe that you should act on what you read here without first conducting your own due diligence and soul-searching, here are my thoughts on what may be a better alternative to Amway:
1. Become a more responsible steward of the money you already possess. Many individuals earn enough money, but they spend far too much of it on items they don't need or don't want. For example, a $5 cup of Starbucks coffee on a daily basis. Saving and investing with discipline are essential. Constantly paying for services such as standing orders and administrative responsibilities is not a wise use of your money.
2. Take on a second job and set aside a percentage of your earnings for savings and investment. 3. Not only will you have more discretionary cash, but you will also have extra money to put down for your retirement years. While many independent business owners (IBOs) rely on Amway as a retirement plan, it is puzzling that no one appears to be retiring from Amway.
3. Establish a modest business of your own. The most serious problem with Amway, in my opinion, is the seemingly infinite supply of training that uplines are encouraged to sell. It results in the majority of "severe" IBOs incurring a net loss. In contrast to Amway items, you can select a specialised product and sell it on sites like eBay or Craigslist. Another form of small business could be something as simple as learning how to make modest household repairs or laying hardwood flooring, for example. These kind of services are quite widespread, and they may be quite profitable..
4. Don't do anything. In light of the fact that the vast majority of business development IBOs lose money, doing nothing, while amusing, is actually preferable to losing money as a result of functions and standing orders. For most individuals, sitting on your couch and watching a football game is more profitable than working for Amway. :)
5. Invest more time in your family's well-being. The irony is that many IBOs have this as a goal, but they actually spend less time with their families as a result of their Amway-related obligations.
That's all there is to it, guys. There are various alternatives to investing your time and money in the Amway business and Amway motivational organisations that you might want to consider. Here are some suggestions. While the suggestions above are merely suggestions, only you and your family can determine what is best for you and your family. I wish you the best of luck in whatever you decide to pursue.
