Get rich slowly or get rich
quick? Either way neither will happen for the majority of IBO’s who sign up
with Amway.
Our sack of shit Platinum was very careful never to say the words “get rich
quick” but everything else he said implied that one would get rich quick. Our
Platinum said we could make $100,000 in 6 months, 12 months at the latest. Well
that’s pretty decent money to most people and 6 months is a relatively quick
period of time to earn that much money.
It would not have made any difference if he’d said you can get rich slowly in
Amway - and I have never ever heard any Amway leader say you can get rich
slowly. Kind of defeats the purpose of getting the audience all fired up with
promises of riches in 2 to 5 years. Very few IBO's get rich in Amway and
how rich they are is debatable. Subjective. Everyone has different benchmarks
what they think is “rich”. At Amway functions we see slide shows of mansions,
luxury cars, and expensive material possessions. For all we know these items
are rented for the filming.
Many people would think a person earning $200,000/year is a good income. Is it
achievable in Amway? Apparently so. In their literature they say that .0065% of
IBO’s earn $200,000/year or more.
Get it? That’s a tiny fraction of 1% of all IBO’s. That would likely be a
Diamond income and a good chunk of that would be from speaking engagements at
Amway functions not from commissions and bonuses for the Amway products their
downline have been purchasing.
Our Platinum was a professional liar. The one thing he couldn’t explain was
after 10 or 15 years flogging Amway shit was why he wasn’t rich. Or at a
higher level on the Amway pyramid. I’d say that the 15 year mark for someone to
be rich qualifies for get rich slowly. That sack of shit can’t get rich quickly
and he can’t get rich slowly either! And he can’t get rich in the promised 6
months or 12 months at the most. LOL!
Odd because as a cult leader I’d put him on the same frightening level as
Reverend Jim Jones and Charles Manson. Our Platinum has swindled many people
over the years directing their hard earned money to Amway products and tools.
Asshole!
Anyway I was going through my computer looking at web pages I’d saved and
cleaning up the ones that are dead links or no longer interest me and today’s
topic was because I’d bookmarked a web page called Get Rich Slowly. https://www.getrichslowly.org/ I
haven’t looked at in years - probably not since I bookmarked it! I just looked
it over again and I have a feeling this blogger follows the advice of Dave
Ramsey. I read one of his books a few years ago called The Total Money
Makeover. He has 7 steps to achieving financial freedom. There are a lot of
people out there who are huge fans of Ramsey and many of them seem to take the
attitude its Dave’s way or the highway. Kind of like the attitude Amway IBO’s
have about how there is no other way to financial freedom except through Amway!
When I read the book I found some of Ramsey’s advice good but a little strict
for me. Bottom line most financial advisors say the same thing: incur no debt,
pay off any existing debt, save for retirement, invest your money, buy a house,
etc, etc. They all have different paths to reach those goals.
Its kind of like your Amway upline. They all have paths to reach their goal and
it usually involves abusing their downline and taking their money and
destroying their lives. All in pursuit of the almighty buck.
To sum it up. Unless you are a good cult leader, a good liar, and don’t give a
shit about destroying other people’s lives, you will never be part of the
.0065% of IBO’s who get rich slowly or get rich quickly from Amway. You won’t
get rich period in Amway. If you’re a half assed cult leader you might break
even or make a small profit but that takes a lot of hours and lots of money
invested.
You’d do better taking a second job, even minimum wage, for 5 hours a week.
You’d make more money than the average IBO right there and don’t have to spend
any money to do so and spend way less time working a part time job instead of
working the Amway business. Then take that money from the second job - lets
just call it $50/week to work with even numbers - and invest that money and
play the stock market. A little fun money every week and if you take the advice
of some good investors it could be the path to get rich slowly.
Sure beats the Amway path to the poorhouse!
I think for a lot of Ambots it's not about the actual money, being that money is virtually nonexistant for the cult followers. No, it's about power and manipulation over their downline. A multi level cult where they can recruit their own little cult followers beneath them. They're not going to earn any money but instead they have an actual opportunity to indulge their personal Jim Jones/Charles Manson fantasies while raising money for the mother cult of Amway.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous - you know how the Amway cult leaders always brainwash their followers that even if they don't make money in Amway they'll become a nicer person. LOL! They should also say even if you don't make money in Amway you'll have the opportunity to unleash your inner Jim Jones. And you can do all this while raising money for the Great Amway God!
