Financial Freedom!

 Financial Independence is a reality! That was one of the most common battle cries I heard on a regular basis when I was recruited to work for the Amway company. By generating residual or passive income, you can obtain greater control over your time and finances. That is what it means...

Fighting For Your "Dreams"?

 IBOs are misinformed about a variety of topics, one of which being the concept of dreams and the importance of battling for them. A dream is essentially a long-term objective. Someone might have a fantasy about being a member of the National Football League. In order to realise such...

Climbing The Pyramid?

 For starters, I'd like to point out that Amway looks to be a fully legitimate corporation, at least according to the text of the law. Because of this, I am not asserting or inferring that Amway is illegal. However, I believe that the way Amway firms are handled is similar to a pyramid...

Business Owner Or Amway Sales Person?

 IBO is an abbreviation for independent business owner. I thought it was cool at the time, but when you look at the big picture, IBOs are simply sales representatives for Amway, with no benefits and no guaranteed wage. Alternatively, a commission-only salesperson. Salespeople make their...

"Anyone" Can Achieve Success?

 One of the "false optimism" statements my upline used to make to our group was that everyone was going to be successful in their business endeavours. The fact that, despite the difficulties, one day we will all be sitting at the diamond club together, reflecting back on our experiences...

"Anyone" Can Achieve Success?

Amway Zombies?

 It can happen to the nicest of individuals at any time, and it usually happens slowly and gradually over time. These are some of the indicators that you are becoming indoctrinated, and you are most likely causing irritation among your friends and loved ones as a result of your behaviour....

Amway Was Meant To Be Inconvenient?

 In looking back on my Amway IBO days, I can now chuckle at some of the bizarre things that we did. And believe it or not, I have reason to suspect that my old LOS, WWDB, still teaches some of this, along with several other large groups. According to me, several of these behaviours...

Amway = Trading Hours For Losses?

 Job rejection was made easier by the use of the slogan "trading hours for cash," which was used by upline diamonds to justify their actions. As if having a job where you were compensated for your time were in any way humiliating. I feel that everything is relative. Given that many...

Amway IBOs "Help People"?

 One of the BS things our Amway upline told our group over and over was that we were out there helping people and fighting for what was right in the world, which was completely false. It is certain that evil will triumph if decent persons do not take action. This is something I agree...

Amway Behind The Scenes?

 When the Amway Diamonds and other leaders want to recruit new IBOs, they put on a dog and pony show, which is one of the things that they do. They want prospects to believe that if you consume Amway products and get others to do the same, you would be financially secure in a few years,...

The "Truth" About Amway?

 When it comes to some Amway executives, one of the things that irritates me the most is their obvious revisionist history. With the exception of the small quantities of success that seep through their system, they never accept any responsibility for their actions. Realism is neglected,...

The "Real" Amway Business?

 I've been reading some ongoing disputes over whether the system income for higher pins is more than their Amway bonuses, which I thought was interesting. I feel that the systems like as BWW, WWDB, N21, and LTD generate more profit for upline than the selling of Amway items, and that...

Quitting Amway?

 One of the things that keeps some independent business owners going is the concept of "alternative reality." The reason for this is that for some IBOs, after a period of time in the Amway business, it might be difficult to leave. It is possible that you were lured in by the prospect...

Problems With Amway?

 The reason(s) why I believe Amway is a terrible business opportunity are numerous and include the following: While upline leaders and recruiters paint a picture of success in the sky for new recruits, the reality for the vast majority is far less rosy.The products, as a whole, are...

Is Amway Financial Freedom A Myth?

 When I was an Amway Independent Business Owner, I would frequently see my upline diamond driving around town in a business suit. I used to wonder why he would continue to work if he could simply walk away and earn residual money. My sponsor explained to me that the diamond only works...

Is Amway A Con Game?

 This is a fantastic thread that was posted on scam.com:http://www.scam.com/showthread.php?t=142975It's mind-boggling to grasp the scope of this con's scope. Multi-million and billion-dollar corporations, publicly traded corporations, corporations that put on the guise of being a decent...

Get Rich "Slow"?

 It used to be said by my upline that Amway was not a "get rich quick" opportunity. I presume they say this because if they promoted it in this manner, the majority of people would assume it was a fraud. But think about it for a moment: if you put in the effort and construct it correctly,...

Food For Thought?

 So many people are deceived into believing that by joining an Amway Independent Business Owner (IBO), they will magically become wealthy. Many recruiters will tell wonderful stories about how they were formerly broke, but signed up, persevered through trials, and are now gems enjoying...

False Hope?

 I believe that the most pernicious aspect of Amway is that certain leaders of AMOs such as WWDB take advantage of people's hopes and desires in order to recruit them to Amway and sell them motivational materials that are intended to assist them in achieving their goals. Many of these...

Deceiving Your Prospects?

 In my mind's eye was the process by which prospects are encouraged to see the proposal. It is common for an IBO to use a little misinformation or half-truths to get a prospect interested in their product or service. But then I thought about the plan, and how much deception was employed...
