Is Amway Fair Or Not?

 We were educated that the Amway opportunity was fair by our upline, which was a complete fabrication. That everything was played on an equal playing field. On the surface, this appears to be correct because "everyone starts at zero." While everyone begins at zero, the compensation...

The 2-5 Year Scam?

 One of the ideas I heard, and which is still being promoted, is the concept of a 2-5 year plan to achieve financial independence and independence. It appears that 2-5 years of hard work in your spare time would be reasonable as a goal. After all, anyone can put in an extra 12 hours...

The Amway Business Costs?

 One of the things that upline leaders are alleged to do is to make fun of people who have jobs. The group was convinced that Amway offers their best opportunity at obtaining financial independence, which would allow them to quit their day jobs. Ironically, the jobs of independent company...

The Reality Of Amway?

 Another aspect of the Amway offer that attracts many independent business owners (IBOs) is the notion that they can work part time for 2-5 years and earn a "shortcut" to ongoing and substantial wealth. Given the fact that many of the prospects do not have the kind of income or resources...

You Earn No PV Watching TV?

 One of the things our upline insisted on teaching us was that there is no PV in television. They encouraged the group to stay away from television, newspapers, and other forms of mass communication. This cult-like strategy appeared to be their way of ensuring that we avoided any unfavourable...

Your Amway "Rich Dad"?

 Many independent company owners (IBOs) appear to have read Robert Kiyosaki's book "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," and they frequently mention his cash flow principles, as well as his discussions of earning passive income and utilising business as a vehicle to develop wealth. Have any of his...

Your Million Dollar Amway Business?

 So many IBOs wrongly believe they would labour for 2-5 years, own a million dollar firm and retire from their professions roaming the beaches of the world while cash rolls into their bank accounts. Sadly, most IBOs won't achieve anything near to the visions they were offered as prospects...

Ruthless Amway "Mentors"?

 When it comes to some LOS leaders, such as those I had at WWDB, what is really insidious about them is that they appear to be cutthroat, vicious businessmen dressed in fine suits, who are disguising themselves as your mentors and friends. They will convince you that they have your...

Amway Credentials?

 It was lately that I came upon a comment from an Amway enthusiast. She points out that when evaluating material offered, it is important to evaluate the qualifications of the person presenting the information. I will say that displaying me a sports car or a high-end outfit does not...

Amway IBOs Giving Back?

 The uplines that talk about donating $5000 or $10,000 cheques one day when you reach diamond status make me laugh. They spoke on the importance of giving back to the community. Everything is nice and dandy, but what exactly do IBOs provide to society? As a result of their commitment...

Amway IBOs Mistake Tax Refunds For Profits?

 In my experience, many independent business owners (IBOs) have been misled by their upline into believing that their business losses, which result in a tax refund, are actually a profit, or that they are receiving a free pass because the government is covering the costs of their standing...

Amway Skills?

 Many Independent Business Owners (IBOs) and Amway supporters believe that their method is effective. As far as I am aware, there is no independent proof that the system is effective. In general, the system consists of a website, voicemail, standing orders, seminars or functions, as...

Amway Spring Leadership Function?

 This topic was discussed on another site lately, which sparked my interest and prompted me to write about my experience with the Spring Leadership function. I attended a leadership function as an Independent Business Owner (IBO) and remember it fairly clearly, despite the fact that...

Amway Upline Credentials?

 I recently came across a comment from an Amway enthusiast on another blog and thought you might be interested. She points out that when evaluating material offered, one should take into account the credentials of the person presenting the information (in this case, the credentials...

Amway's Hidden Costs?

 One of the things that upline leaders do is to make fun of people who have careers. The group was convinced that Amway offers their best opportunity at obtaining financial independence, which would allow them to quit their day jobs. Amway may even display a video of someone who quit...

Amway Retirees?Amway Retirees

 I've heard or read that Amway has over 3 million independent business owners (IBOs) globally, with several hundred thousand IBOs in the United States and Canada. Over the course of more than 50 years, Amway must have had tens of millions of independent business owners (IBOs). One of...

Amway Sales Down Again?

 ADA, MICHIGAN, UNITED STATES (Feb. 8, 2017) — Amway today reported sales of $8.8 billion USD for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016, a 7% decrease from the previous year's data. Although the direct seller saw a growth in sales in seven of its top ten territories, market conditions...

(False) Amway Income Claims?

 The presence of IBOs coming by and making outrageous income claims without a shred of evidence is something that occurs frequently on this site and others. IBOs will tell you that it is none of your concern, or that what they earn is not indicative of what you might earn in your own...

Job - Trading Hours For Dollars?

 Jobs were one of the ways in which Amway diamonds would put them down, by using the statement "a job is merely trading hours for bucks." 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 IBOs...

Join Amway For Less Time And Money?

 Another thing that uplines do when recruiting new IBOs is to tell them about how their employment is a dead end, that they may be dismissed at any time, that they have no control over their position, or that they are never paid what they are truly entitled to. They try to persuade...

Join Amway To Decrease Efficiency?

 Is Amway the least efficient method of product distribution?Back more than a dozen years ago, the proposal was presented to me as a possibility. I recall the speaker talking about how you may profit from distribution efficiencies in order to increase your profits. We, as independent...
