Amway Success Is A Choice?

 Everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving!Many independent company owners (IBOs) appear to believe that success in business or other parts of life is simply a matter of personal preference. They incorrectly believe that you have the ability to select whether or not you will succeed. The...

Amway Is Different?

 One of the more amusing justifications I've heard from Amway representatives is that the company is unique. Alternatively, "they don't do that anymore." Some Amway IBOs have utilised deception to lure people into meetings, and the diamonds have taken advantage of the Amway "dream"...

A Part Time Job Or Amway?

Many people promote Amway as a simple, and in some cases, expedient, way to make money. It's all over the internet, it's what I witnessed when I was an IBO, and I have strong cause to assume that many Amway representatives still market their products in this manner. People, I suppose, want...

Your (Upline's) Dreams Fulfilled?

 In my opinion, one of the weaknesses of the Amway compensation model is that the newest IBO, who may also be the one who puts in the most "Work," receives the smallest income. Amway returns approximately 30 percent to 33 percent of its revenue to shareholders in the form of bonuses....

WalMart versus Amway?

 I recently heard an Amway supporter complain about how Walmart is terrible and how Amway is excellent. But let's take a closer look at the specifics. Walmart and Amway are both billion-dollar corporations, however Walmart dwarfs Amway in terms of size and revenue. Walmart generates...

The Truth About Amway?

 What is the real storey behind Amway?When it comes to some Amway executives, one of the things that irritates me the most is their obvious revisionist history. It is impossible for them to accept any responsibility for anything, save for the little amounts of success that seep through...

The Reality Of An Amway Business?

 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...

The Facade Of Amway Leaders?

 In order to attract more IBOs, Diamonds and other leaders put up a dog and pony show. 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, capable of speaking on stages and guaranteeing the...

The Amway Retirement Myth?

 The other night, I was watching a show on Discovery Channel that was all about Sasquatch. It was immediately followed by a show about UFO evidence. It prompted me to consider the nature of these phenomena. The existence of Sasquatch (Bigfoot) and/or UFOs appears to be something that...

People Quitting Amway?

 I frequently read comments about people who have left Amway, and Amway enthusiasts are quick to label them as broke, losers, lazy, and lacking in courage. Strangely enough, these same lazy and loser types of people were previously "bright" and motivated prospects before they decided...

Only Amway Folks Are "Winners"?

 When I started with Amway, one of the things my upline taught me, and I believe is still taught today in various organisations, was that winners join the company and failures do not. Alternatively, you could argue that you were a winner since you were taking steps to improve your financial...

IBOs Or Customers?

 I've been having a discussion with several friends concerning the concept of customers. Amway's most vocal supporter maintains that independent business owners (IBOs) are clients, and claims that a large number of people register with Amway just to become consumers of the company....

Hypocritical Amway Upline?

 Because the internet is so widely available, information is openly shared, and some of the dark secrets of the Lines of Sponsorship have been revealed as a result of this. It is also becoming increasingly apparent that a group of upline leaders are massive hypocrites who are apparently...

Amway And The Tool Scam?

 Recently, there has been a great deal of discussion around the James Randi Educational Forum (JREF). Most people consider Amway to be a scam, and one of its most vocal defenders points out that independent business owners (IBOs) are not affiliated with Amway. And training resources...

A Tragic Amway Story

 This is the heartbreaking storey of a person who fell for the Amway scam hook, line, and sinker and lost everything. This is the storey of one of my supporters. He joined the company about 1994 and became a (Gold) direct distributor after about a year in the business. Given his personal...

Your Upline's 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...

What's The Real Chance Of Succeeding In Amway?

 One thing that many Amway promoters are reluctant to discuss is what your realistic prospects of success are in your business. The outcome of the 6-4-2 and 2-5 year plans will be defined as Diamond success, so I will use that as a measure of my accomplishments. There is the possibility...

The Mysteries Of Amway?

 After hearing about Amway for the first time, I was asked to a presentation at a high-end hotel in the area. The diamond arrived in his Mercedes Benz and was taken to the stage by a group of people, where he received a thunderous applause. As a successful Amway salesman, I believed...

Justifying Amway?

 When our upline diamond used to talk about how people rationalise their actions, I thought it was fascinating. They'll compare themselves to a neighbour or a coworker in order to convince themselves that they're doing OK. Alternatively, they may argue that because they attended public...
