”What exactly are you doing working a job? ” Essentially, you are exchanging hours for dollars!”
That remark has been hissed at the audience numerous times by presenters in Amway meetings, and it never fails to amuse me. Whether it's Platinum or Diamond, they all disparage anyone who works for another person.
Holding down a job equals exchanging hours for income. Job, according to the cult leaders, is a four-letter word – the bastards can't even count! Three letters, gentlemen. Count 'em up one more. 3!
Whether we like it or not, we all trade hours for bucks in one way or another.
With the exception of Amway, where we swap hours for pennies and still end up in the red.
It is estimated that Ambot spends around 100 hours each month doing Amway-related stuff. Among the tasks would be three or four board plans in living rooms each week, countless hours spent studying Amway literature and products on their website, two or three Amway events per month where a Diamond came to town, and a day-long rally once a month, not to mention all of the time spent trying to recruit new IBOs or finding suckers to buy the overpriced shitty Amway products. For example, what about the dozens of phone calls and text messages he receives every day from his upline, when he is expected to drop whatever he is doing and give them his complete attention for an hour or more?
What are my working hours? And it's here that I put in the requisite 10 to 15 hours per week, if not more. As a result, we put in between 140 and 160 hours per month as a group. Those were hours of wasted time that we will never get back.
Let's take my time out of the equation and concentrate on Ambot's time instead, and call it 100 hours a month to make the numbers easier. In exchange, if we completed 100 PV, Amway would issue us a check for approximately $10 for the month. As a result, Ambot is making money. 10 cents an hour is the going rate.
Ambot is willing to exchange hours for pennies. In the same boat as everyone else who is trapped in the Amway fraud and who can meet the required monthly PV purchase of 100 units to qualify for a pitiful commission check.
Not to mention the costs of tools, attending functions, and the associated expenses (flight, hotel, and food), because he is now hundreds of dollars in the hole each month.
So, how does that $10/hour cashier job stack up against an Amway salary of $200,000? Using the same method, a cashier can earn the same amount in one hour doing a job as Ambot does after trading 100 hours on worthless Amway schlock.
It would be more accurate to describe it as "trading dollars for pennies" if the cult leaders were speaking the truth, but that doesn't sound nearly as good when they're insulting potential recruits into the Amway cult.
Any business owner trades hours for dollars, but ideally, the majority of business owners have a legitimate firm that generates actual money, rather than settling for a meagre Amway income that isn't even enough to support a family in a third-world nation. Now there's something to think about. A labourer in a third-world country exchanges hours for dollars and yet earns more than the majority of Amway independent business owners in North America.
If I had to choose between going back to work and returning to Amway, I would choose to trade hours for dollars by working for a genuine company rather than working extra hours as a Scamway IBO and scamming others into losing their money in the pursuit of a dream that will never come true.
