At the time, I was a prospective member of the Amway business, my sponsor informed me that this diamond was among the top one tenth of one percent in terms of income. Now, this may or may not have been true, but the audience was under the impression that the diamond was worth a lot of money. He (the diamond) arrived at the open meeting dressed formally in a Mercedes Benz. He talked about things that were common sense and that everyone could connect to. That many Americans are saddled with credit card debt, and that inflation, insurance, and other factors have taken a chunk out of your paycheck. He talked about getting up whenever you felt like it, flushing the job and your employer down the toilet, and so on. He talked about the importance of doing what you want when you want.
It sounded fantastic. He emphasised that if you put in 10-12 hours each week, you can complete all of this in 2-5 years with minimal effort. With so much to gain, you'd think everyone would jump at the chance to do this and achieve "freedom."
When disputing with Amway defenders, they frequently assert that the vast majority of independent business owners ("IBOs") "do nothing." That doesn't hold water with me. The first task is for anyone to describe how they would determine whether someone accomplished something small or nothing at all, and how they would know. Perhaps the new IBO spoke to relatives and friends about the business and was laughed out of the room, resulting in him or her becoming frustrated and ultimately quitting. It's possible that some people actually do nothing. Some people may put forth extraordinary effort only to achieve little results. However, claiming that the vast majority of independent business owners (IBOs) accomplish nothing is nothing more than a handy excuse for Amwayers to justify the dismal outcomes their IBOs achieve.
Forth my instance, I put in a lot of effort. Personally, I sponsored a dozen individuals. I had some downline members who sponsored me, and together we moved a lot of volume. However, as I progressed through the pin levels, I was encouraged to purchase more tools and complete more labour. What will be my reward for all of this effort? I came close to breaking even or taking losses. Not include my time and other expenses such as gas money, this figure is conservative. When I reached the threshold of 4000 PV, I was able to make a profit. My sponsor told me that if I just kept going, the money will come up eventually. I ran the numbers to see what my bottom line would be at platinum, and I was still unable to see a profit looming in the distance. I soon came to the conclusion that the Amway business was simply not lucrative, and I departed. Not to mention that, at the time, uplines lied and claimed that no one made money from the tools.
So, what causes people to leave Amway? Based on my personal experience and years of touch with present and former IBOs, I have come to the conclusion that the majority of IBOs at the very least give Amway a try before quitting. Because there is so much negative information about Amway on the internet and in society, people can become disheartened, and even those who put out significant effort are likely to wind up in the same situation as I did. Yes, it is possible to make money in Amway, but the tools scam will almost always nullify any profits that an IBO would make in the company. I believe that people leave Amway because they have tried and failed, or because they have tried and achieved success but have suffered a net loss. It is not the fault of the International Business Organization. Amway and other motivational organisations, such as WWDB or Network 21, are simply structured in this manner.
