Amway Or A J-O-B?


I recall many meetings and functions where the diamonds talked about how your job was possibly making you "just over broke" or "jackass of the boss". They explained that jobs and working a job were possibly hindering growth for the masses. In reality, IBOs feed their families, pay their bills and aim to make the diamonds level with the help of their jobs. I remember seeing videos of people shooting their alarm clocks or a limousine pulling up to someone's place of employment and whisking off someone who recently went diamond or reaching some other pin level. All great fun!

I suppose that for someone young, who may be in their 20's or 30's, the prospect of working another 30 years seems like a daunting task, thus a "shortcut" such as working 2-5 years sounds like a good alternative. It makes sense and you will actually build the business and find the name reputation and products easy to sell. At some point, your investment into standing orders and functions starts to pay off. You start to realise there is no mistake in trying to find a shortcut to financial freedom. You start to realise that financial freedom exists in the Amway world. You do wonder sometimes why are the diamonds still working? Why don't any of them "walk away" and collect residual income for life while walking on the beaches of the world? The short answer is they love what they are doing!

Luckily, you did not quit your job. It’s not the wisest thing to do at the beginning. While your current job may not equip you with financial freedom, you are likely able to pay your bills and put food on your dinner table while you build your business. That is what most people say about the extra income they receive from Amway. I used to wonder how much money these diamonds actually make. While they may earn a nice income (when they are actually qualified), a diamond lifestyle can enhance their lifestyle enough to encourage the people they recruit into Amway. I believe many diamonds are living month to month, never worrying about their finances because the lifestyle that they build is completely sustainable. There a various kinds of incomes that Amway reports and $147,000 is a fairly average diamond income. A recent triple diamond revealed that while they earn a nice income, they may are more than able to sustain an excessive lifestyle.
Check it out for yourself. Rather than getting excited about seeing a Mercedes Benz, ask your diamond how much they earn from Amway. Ask them how many diamonds are taking advantage of residual income for life and why they don’t retire and walk away from the Amway business? While working a job and saving money may sound attractive, it is still a much better idea to include an Amway business to enhance your income. Financial security and long term sustainability takes hard work and discipline. Many who promote Amway invite prospects into considering how Amway is a route to getting rich. It’s there for the taking. The facts are there, you just need to recognize them.
