Is Amway the ONLY thing One Can Do to Succeed in Life?

When I attended Dream Night last year several couples were invited to come forward, take the microphone, and say something. I think they may have been eagles or double eagles. They’d reached some level but I’m sure it wasn’t Platinum or higher. I remember one couple who were extolling the virtues of an Amway business and the wife screamed out “What else is there?” Assuming she meant in the way of business opportunities or making money outside of a J.O.B.

Let me answer her question. Yes! There are other opportunities out there! I know lots of people who have found success in businesses other than Amway.

“Amway is not the ONLY thing you can do to succeed in life” is a message I’ve heard over and over again at meetings run by Platinum, Emerald, and Diamond speakers. It's part of an honest technique in delivering information. Everyone including IBO’s know there are other things out there where they can succeed in life. They are quite free to use their time, energy, or money on other things instead of developing an Amway business. My husband already has had a reasonable success elsewhere but once he joined the Amway business he discovered that there were certain levels of protection he could rely on if he ran his own business on a consistant basis. He was constantly put down by other people who didn't unterstand what he was attempting to do. For one reason or another people would say to him "what if you get sick, what if there’s a slow down, etc" and he would reply that "once his business was large enough it would protect him because a succesful IBO retains his Amway success forever".

Everyone has different opinions on what defines success. I could list hundreds of items and still not be finished. For some people success could be determined by earning a desired income, reaching a scholastic level, owning a restaurant that is packed every night with patrons, getting picked for a local circuit baseball team, publishing a book, playing a musical instrument, losing weight, getting married, buying a New York City penthouse overlooking Central Park..... The possibilities are endless.

Suggest that to most rational human beings and they can understand that - Amway is NOT the ONLY thing one can do to succeed in life. But it is probably the SMARTEST thing to do!

“There are lots of things out there including Amway” is a familiar phrase told to potential IBO’s as part of our training program. Our leaders tell IBO’s to consider all options open to them and if they can find something better then do it! However it's our opinion that anything else in this type of marketing enterprise will not help them succeed as much as Amway.

I also heard people say “What are you willing to give up to succeed in this business?”
Who says you have to give up things or whatever makes you tick as part of your lifestyle in order to become successful?

How many apprentice mechanics are asked what things they are willing to give up so they can fix cars? Who would tell a mechanic in order to open up his own garage he must give up his wife, his TV, his friends and his hobbies, sell his house, get rid of his dog, etc or he will never succeed.

Ridiculous huh? These kind of questions might come at you if you were unfortunate enough to be seduced into some evil scam and I sincerely hope that never happens! Sensible people are capable of juggling other things in their lives while at the same time succeeding at their chosen goals. Amway IBO's will always want to advise you of the best possible steps to help you succeed.

Amway is NOT the ONLY thing one can do to succeed in life. We know that! However! based on mine and my husbands' experiences I’d say Amway is about the ONLY thing we’ve ever succeeded at. It's a system designed help you succeed.

And we want to help you too!?

  1. An IBO tried to tell me that Amway could be more helpful for getting me through medical school.

    I'm glad I listened.

  2. What happened to your blog? I feel like you've been sucked back into the cult. I'm trying to figure out if you are being sarcastic or not. For the love of God I hope you are.
