I believe that most people are familiar with the old adage that you must spend money in order to make money. The majority of the time, when it comes to launching a business.
And this is correct. Of fact, it is possible to start a firm on a shoestring financial budget. If you want to start your own business, you don't need a lot of money. Sure, some businesses require a significant amount of capital to get started, but there are other firms that may be started for less money.
A friend of mine works as a seamstress and owns her own business, which she operates out of her residence. I'd say she runs her business on a shoestring budget, but she still had to spend a few dollars to get things up and running. She own three sewing machines. Even though I'm not an expert on sewing machines, I've noticed that they all perform differently depending on the type of material used and how thick and heavy the fabric is. When they fail, she is forced to send them in for repairs or, in the worst case situation, purchase a new one. $$$$. The rest of her start-up costs were very conventional. Business licence, business name registration, business insurance, business cards, business phone line, Internet, and web page are all examples of services.
You're right. All of the steps that Amway ambots don't bother to take! This is the kind of thing you do when you're running a legitimate business rather than a fictitious one.
She invests a few thousand dollars in getting her firm up and running, and she incurs monthly business expenditures as well as additional training on occasion. It's all part of the business process. To make money, you must first spend money.
Amway is a business where you spend money in order to lose money. My dollar amounts may not be exact because I am not aware of the current amount of money available to defraud ambots, but I believe I am within $25 of the correct amount. To begin, you must pay $50 per year to Amway for a membership that allows you to shop at their store. Alternatively, you can spend $150 and receive a kit of shoddy Amway product samples, which means you can start making PV right immediately and everyone in your upline will share in the profits. A new ambot will be pressured into purchasing the registration/starter kit in order to demonstrate that they are a legitimate business owner who is committed to growing their company. The ambot must then purchase at least 100 PV in Amway items in order to be eligible to get a commission check for that month. That equates to at least $300 per month. When the ambot does not sign up with an Amway cult such as WWDB World Wide Destructive Bastards for $50/month, their upline will be furious. Never forget to spend at least $50 a month on business materials, which can be found in the form of books and audio CDs made by Diamonds who are brainwashing the public and tormenting them with phrases like "wouldn't you like to be as wealthy as I am?" Ambot has to get some bogus ass business cards printed up for him. Moreover, Ambot must fork out $35 per month to use Communikate, which is a piece of shoddy voice messaging software that the ambots have been misled into believing serves as their personal assistant. The costs of Amway meetings and Amway festivities are also included in this budgetary allocation. Just to get the fucking asses in your Amway upline off of your back, I estimate that $500 to $700 a month will be required to meet the minimum requirements.
As a reward for his or her efforts, the ambot will get a monthly compensation check from Amway in the amount of approximately $10.
Oftentimes, the ambot will increase how much shitty overpriced products they buy from Amway because some asshole in their upline will phone at the end of each month and bitch, and bitch, and scream that someone upline needs more PV to meet that month's goals, which means the lowly bastards in the downline better find a way to come up with the money to buy more Amway products and meet those goals.
Spending $700/month to earn $10/month does not qualify as "spending money to make money" in my book.
It's a case of spending money and losing it all for no reason.
Even the Internal Revenue Service will ride the backs of Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOs) who attempt to deduct Amway losses from their normal employment income. As a result of spending a significant amount of money on Amway training and meetings, the IRS has decided that Amway is a costly social club, and that the IBOs they have inspected have not seen an increase in their business as a result of their efforts.
Smart business owners are in it to generate money, not to waste time. In other words, the amount of money they receive surpasses the amount of money they spend to keep their firm running.
In Amway, however, the situation is reversed. There is a significant difference between the money pouring in and the money paid to satisfy the great Amway gods.
IBOs are brainwashed into spending their money and losing it in order to please the fucking assholes in their Amway upline, and this is exactly what Amway is all about. It's no longer there. I'm fed up with wasting my money on shoddy, overpriced goods and attending brainwashing cult gatherings.
A wise business owner understands when it is necessary to cut their losses. Their understanding of the necessity of expenditure is sound, but when they are spending more money month after month without generating income, it is time to consider exiting the business altogether.
Amway is a company that spends money in order to lose money.
There are more enjoyable and entertaining ways to lose money. But that's a topic for another post!
It is common practice to criticize Amway, one of the largest multi-level marketing (MLM) firms in the world, for its business model. Many people believe that Amway's business strategy is intended to enrich the company and its top distributors at the expense of its independent business owners.
The fact that Amway forces its distributors to spend a large amount of money on products, training materials, and other fees in order to become eligible for commissions and advance through the firm's many levels is one of the most prevalent complaints that is leveled at the company.
Due to the "pay to play" business model, many Amway distributors find that they wind up spending more money on the company than they receive in commissions, which leads to feelings of anger and dissatisfaction.
According to research conducted by the Federal Trade Commission, more than 99 percent of those who sign up with multi-level marketing organizations like Amway wind up losing money in the long run.
This is due to the fact that Amway's compensation structure places a significant emphasis on recruitment. Distributors not only earn commissions on their own sales, but also on the sales of the people they acquire and bring into the Amway fold.
This results in a structure that resembles a pyramid, in which individuals at the very top of the organization make the most money, while those at the very bottom have a hard time turning a profit.
In addition, a significant number of Amway's items have unreasonable prices and are of dubious quality, which further increases the amount of financial pressure placed on the company's distributors.
In spite of these obstacles, Amway continues to grow its business by recruiting new distributors with the assurance that they would achieve financial independence and success. The concept that anyone can become a successful business owner by joining Amway and following its method is frequently emphasized in the company's marketing materials and recruitment pitches.
However, the fact of the matter is that the overwhelming majority of Amway distributors never achieve considerable financial success, and many of them wind up losing money and becoming disillusioned with the organization as a result.
Frustrated Amway distributors may take legal action against the company, claiming that the company misled them about the possible earnings and benefits of the business opportunity. In rare situations, this frustration may even lead to legal action.
In conclusion, despite the fact that Amway may give the impression of being a flexible and possibly successful business opportunity, the truth is that it frequently necessitates a considerable financial input with very little possibility of a return on that investment. It is difficult for the majority of distributors to achieve success due to the "pay to play" approach as well as the significant emphasis placed on recruitment. The high cost of items further adds to the financial burden. Those who are thinking about becoming Amway distributors should, in the end, give serious consideration to the possibility while maintaining a healthy level of healthy skepticism and prudence in their approach to it.
