Earlier this year, Joecool posted something on his blog to the effect that if you aren't making money in your Amway business but are spending a lot of money on Amway products and tools, it is almost as if you have joined an expensive social club.
That sentence, I believe, may be applicable to Ambot. The more money he spent on Amway items and tools, the more popular he became among his new pals.
People are occupied with socialising and spending time with their loved ones. They may be working long hours at their employment, or they may be running a business and need to accommodate customers at unusual hours. People with school-age children are actively involved in their children's recreational activities or provide transportation to and from their children's activities. Take into account things like grocery shopping, going to the gym, walking the dog, and other recreational activities. Consider spending some peaceful time at home reading a book, working on the internet, or watching television. Cleaning, laundry, mowing the lawn, and maintaining a weed-free garden are among the less-than-pleasant tasks around the house. The majority of people have activities that keep them occupied throughout the day. We have hectic schedules, just like many others.
In case we weren't sufficiently overburdened by the fact that Ambot wanted to do the Amway thing all over again, we were always on the go. Often, there would be two or three board meetings in a week that we were had to attend, despite the fact that we were listening to the same old nonsense that we had heard the night before. This would cause us to be unable to work from 7pm until midnight. When it comes to getting us ready for sleep, nothing beats boring us to death. Not to mention any additional seminars, rallies, or other activities that our upline deemed necessary for us to participate in.
Several years ago, I was at a gathering and was listening to a Diamond speaker who was demonstrating to the audience how to pick up prospects using “lines.” Consider the following scenario: a prospect raises the objection that "the business" will not work for them because they do not have any friends. The Diamond then asks them, "How would you like to have some friends?" says the Diamond.
That particular recollection was aroused by the pricey social club allusion.
When someone lacks social connections, they may be interested in joining some form of social group in order to meet new people. Aside from that, the aim of being an Amway IBO is to locate additional prospects who will join up and become IBOs themselves, as well as to find customers who will purchase Amway items. In other words, if the only friends you have are people who are already active in Amway, there is little chance of convincing any of them to become an IBO or to purchase Amway items.
So, despite the fact that we already have hectic schedules, Ambot determined that we should be even busier. In addition to his old pals, he had made a whole new group of acquaintances who were stealthily encouraging him to abandon his former buddies. His self-importance was on display anytime someone asked him to come over, and he would respond by saying he was too busy that night (Amway meeting). This is in addition to the deluge of text messages and phone calls that he received from his upline immediately after joining the company.
I'm not here to recommend social clubs or to give advice on how to make new friends. All I want to say is that if you are seeking for a new group of individuals to hang out with, there are a variety of options to consider. If one of your motivations for joining Amway is to have a ready-made network of buddies, you've made a mistake by signing up. A membership in Amway is an expensive social club that will put you in financial and emotional hardship. When you decide to leave Amway, it will be the last time you hear from your newfound pals, who are fickle bastards to begin with. These aren't the kinds of buddies you want to hang out with. This isn't the type of company enterprise you should be involved with.
