Amway And Charity?

 During the diamond's presentations, I recall sitting in the crowd when they would talk about their ability to support charities and how they would donate $10,000 checks to various organisations. It has come to my attention that some diamonds have posed for photographs while volunteering...

Once Upon A Time?

 "And they lived happily ever after," the storey continues. That is the finale of many fairy tales and children's stories, and it is also a cute finish. Exactly what the diamonds want you to believe: that they will become diamonds, relocate to easy street, and walk the beaches of the...

Sorry, It Doesn’t Add Up?

 As local economies continue to recover from the covid 19 pandemic, it appears that upline diamonds are continuing to conduct business as usual, but instead of holding in-person activities, they are holding online or streaming functions and holding meetings. It prompted me to consider...

The Greatest Showman?

 Because I'm still at home a lot because of covid 19, I've been spending a lot of time watching television and movies. I just attended a performance of The Greatest Showman. I saw it in the theatre, but I went back to see it again, and the title of the film was what prompted me to create...

The Problem With Amway?

 As I mentioned previously, one of the reasons I started blogging was to share my personal experiences with Amway and WWDB, as well as to provide information seekers and prospects with an insight into what I see to be potential issues with the Amway opportunity. When reading through...

Amway Creates Debt, Not Wealth?

 Many Independent Business Owners (IBOs) that promote the Amway opportunity appear to be in debt, which is something I discovered. I am aware that being in debt is one of the reasons that these prospects are driven to the opportunity, as they believe that they will earn enough money...

Amway IBOs Are Sharp People?

 One of the things our group was taught by our upline was the need of recruiting "smart" people. And, in general, I believe that many/the majority of IBOs were intelligent individuals. The majority of them are pleasant, motivated, and desirous of more in life. Certain Amway defenders...

Amway Or A Job?

 There have been many meetings and functions where the diamonds have mentioned how your employment is causing you to be "just over broke" or that you are the "jackass of the boss." They attempted to denigrate jobs, as if doing one's job were some sort of horrible punishment for the...

Amway Sales?

 One of the things that IBOs like to point out is that Amway had over $8 billion in sales in the previous year. That's fantastic news for Amway. Those sales almost certainly resulted in a substantial profit for the Amway organisation. I have a strong suspicion that the DeVos and Van...

Making Money In Amway?

 A recent comment on my blog raises the topic of how someone may genuinely make money in Amway, and the answer is "it depends." It's an excellent point, and one that deserves to be addressed, especially given the fact that it appears that so few individuals in Amway actually make any...

Nothing Changes In Amway?

 If my memory serves me correctly, Amway was seeing significant growth in the mid-1990s. At the time, their sales had reached a new all-time high of approximately 7 billion dollars. Recruitment was on the rise, and fresh diamonds and emeralds appeared to be appearing all across the...

Some Random Observations About Amway?

 1st Observation: In general, IBOs have lower levels of life success than other people. It's for this reason that they are more receptive to business opportunities and more easily persuaded that there is a shortcut to retirement and permanent wealth. Because I was younger and in the...

The Amway Bait And Switch Scam?

 As far as I am aware, Amway is a massive bait and switch fraud organised by the diamonds. The diamonds are revered by the audience as if they were gods of sorts. Whenever they appear to demonstrate the strategy and/or to speak at a function, they are greeted with standing ovations....

The Amway Quota?

 When it comes to advertising the Amway business, the majority of LOS organisations that I am aware of use 100 PV as a baseline. Many groups also teach that you may quickly attain 100 PV by simply "changing" your shopping habits, which is something that many people believe. This teaching...

The Amway/WWDB Eagle Program?

 Upline Diamond 300 PV personal use/retail for couples, 200 PV personal use/retail for singles. Eagle Parameters: Signed Counsel Sheet to Upline Diamond.6-5-3 (PB/SO/MF) - This is explained further below.6 legs with a PV rating of 100 or higher5 legs are on a waiting list.3 legs are...

The Tool Scam?

 What I didn't realise as an IBO, and what many Amway IBOS and prospects don't realise, is that the functions and support materials sold by the upline diamond are the true essence of the Amway business, with the Amway items serving as a secondary consideration in many situations. Consider...

The Standing Ovation?

 One of the strangest things I saw among Amway Independent Business Owners (IBOS) is how they revere the diamond as if he were some kind of divine figure. When you take a logical look at it, what has the diamond done to earn such adoration is unclear. The diamond qualified for the pin...

Walking The Beaches?

 I've noticed a worrying trend among Amway IBOs, IBO leaders, and uplines in the manner they advise their downline to put their faith in them, which I find disturbing. To put entire faith in them because they have previously blazed a trail. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel. Simply...

Upline Responsibility?

 I've noticed a worrying trend among Amway IBOs, IBO leaders, and uplines in the manner they advise their downline to put their faith in them, which I find disturbing. To put entire faith in them because they have previously blazed a trail. There's no reason to reinvent the wheel. Simply...

Successful IBOs?

 Success is a matter of opinion. Someone who earns ten dollars a day might be considered to be prosperous. Others will accept nothing less than a mountain of cash in exchange for their services. Another key item to mention is that there are unquestionably some extremely successful people...

Feeling Sorry For People?

 In my early days as an IBO, one of the things I remember thinking was how sad I felt for individuals who were not IBOs since we were all going to be rich and everyone else was a loser. Our upline used to tell us that we were winners - and that if you weren't a winner, then you were...

None Of Your Business?

 During my time as an IBO, I often overheard IBOs informing prospects that their money was none of your business. This is something I still witness today. This ensures that you can go to the compensation plan and see that you are reimbursed based on your amount of sales. That your efforts...
