Winners And Losers?

 When I started with Amway, one of the things my upline taught me, and I believe is still taught today in various organisations, was that winners join the company and failures do not. Alternatively, you could argue that you were a winner since you were taking steps to improve your financial situation, whilst those who did not were losers. or a person who has lost his or her mind. It was referred to as the "broke mentality." Of course, the upline who made this statement had no awareness of people who were not affiliated with Amway at the time. Some of them may have previously been financially secure, while others may have been taking steps to improve their financial situation. If these uplines, who advocate "positive," had to descend to calling people losers and simpy because they did not believe that Amway was the best thing to happen since sliced bread, I'm not sure what I'd make of it. It's only positive if it has something to do with Amway, and everything else is negative. Do any of you have a problem with this?

In many games or athletic events, there will be a winner and a loser. In many games or sporting events, there will be a winner and a loser. Losing a game does not automatically equate to being a loser, and a team that wins the game would not imply that the losing team was a loser. Think about a Super Bowl-winning coach standing on the sidelines after a game and declaring that the opposing team was a bunch of broken-minded, gutless losers. Isn't it something you'd like to hear? That would never happen in the real world, but it happens all the time in the Amway/IBO world. Rich DeVos, the owner of Amway, had once stated in a recorded message that just because people do not agree with you (paraphrased) about Amway does not automatically make them losers, and that independent business owners (IBOs) should refrain from labelling individuals losers. According to what I've read, this was written by upline to put pressure on downline IBOs to "never quit."

People's jobs are also being questioned as a result of all of this. That a position is synonymous with insults such as "barely over broke" or "jackass of the boss," among others. Many IBOs have aspirations and desires that include quitting their jobs so that they can sleep in till "the crack of noon" and enjoy a life of luxury, among other things. Ironically, it is the majority of IBOs' jobs that continue to generate income, allowing them to pay their bills and provide for their families. An IBO's responsibilities also include funding their Amway and AMO expenses, such as product purchases and functions, as well as voicemail, among other things. Most people would be unable to even join Amway or purchase any tools if they did not have a job. Unfortunately, most Independent Business Owners (IBOs) will not make any money in Amway and will be required to continue working at their current occupations. I do not feel that someone who earns a decent livelihood through employment is a loser in life. Ironically, many of those who disparage others as losers and bankrupt are themselves not even making a profit from their Amway business!

Yes, there will be winners and losers in this company, just as there will be winners and losers in sports. The question is if you are the one who has the authority to determine who is and who isn't allowed to participate. In addition, I believe that IBOs are absolutely sabotaging any future business opportunities through their actions. Consider the following scenario: I went to a store to purchase something, but the item was not available on that specific day, so I did not make a purchase and simply left. As I walk out the door, the business owner tells me that I am a loser for not purchasing things from him. Is it likely that I'll return? It's really unlikely. If an IBO sincerely believes that they are a store owner, they should consider all possibilities as possible customers, whether they are in the future or present. In the event that your upline claims that folks who are not interested are losers, you should offer him a mirror. Alternatively, you may inform your upline that when you point a finger at someone, there are even more fingers pointing back at yourself.

The experience of victory and defeat are two sides of the same coin. Every single one of us will, at some point in our lives, taste both victory and defeat. This is true whether we are competing in athletics, academics, business, or personal relationships. Winning is almost always connected with success, accomplishment, and satisfaction, whereas losing is often viewed as a failure, disappointment, and unhappy experience. However, it is critical to acknowledge that winning and losing are both necessary components of the human experience and have the potential to teach significant lessons and present possibilities for personal development.


The fruits of one's labor, unwavering dedication, and dogged determination are to be found in victory. When we come out on top, we experience elation, along with feelings of pride and success. Winning may do a lot more for us than just improve our confidence; it can also drive us to keep working toward our objectives and motivate others to follow in our footsteps. However, it is essential to keep in mind that success does not determine our value or who we are as individuals. It is simply a fleeting moment of accomplishment, and it ought not to be the primary focus of our lives.


On the other side, being on the receiving end of a loss may be a trying and excruciating experience. It is possible for us to emerge from the experience feeling disheartened, disappointed, and even ashamed. Losing can have a bad impact not only on our mental health but also on our relationships and our sense of self-worth. Nevertheless, defeat can also present opportunities for personal development and improvement that are extremely beneficial. It has the potential to instruct us in resiliency, humility, as well as the significance of perseverance. Additionally, it has the potential to encourage us to work harder, reevaluate our plans, and gain knowledge from our errors.


One of the most important things that we can learn from both success and failure is that our perspective and attitude play a significant part in determining how we tackle the obstacles that we face in life. In spite of the challenges we are facing, it is possible for us to keep our feeling of hope, optimism, and resilience if we adopt a positive mindset and attitude. Additionally, it can assist us in recognizing the worth of the process itself, rather than focusing solely on the destination. On the other side, having a negative frame of mind and attitude can make it difficult to recover from setbacks and can limit our capacity for growth as well as our chances of being successful.


It is also essential to acknowledge that the concepts of winning and losing are relative in nature. What one person sees as a successful outcome may be perceived as a failure by another, and vice versa. For instance, a prosperous businessperson would regard a transaction for one million dollars to be a win, whereas a struggling entrepreneur might consider the completion of a minor sale to be a win. In a similar vein, something that could appear to be a setback at the time might actually turn out to be a blessing in disguise. A job application that is turned down could, for instance, pave the way for a more desirable position in the future.


In the end, winning and losing are both a natural part of the human experience and can serve as opportunities to learn vital lessons and grow as individuals. It is essential to approach both with a constructive frame of mind and attitude, to acknowledge the relative nature of the two, and to concentrate on the process rather than merely the destination. Regardless of whether we are successful or unsuccessful, if we follow these steps, we will be able to give our lives more meaning, purpose, and satisfaction.
