IBO Mantra: Sometimes Nothing Else Is Important Except Amway

I have sat in enough Amway meetings listening to our Platinum or Diamond encourage and explain to the other business developers that they’d sometimes rather be spending time with their family instead of talking to the group.

That was the main thing I had in common with our uplines. I’d sometimes rather be spending time with my family than listening to endless stories about how to get stains out of silk or some such problem.

Occasionally we’d get a list of the things in life most important to our leaders. Amway would be down at the top of the list but god, family, wife, etc would be higher up. The reality is when you’re an IBO nothing else in your life is important except Amway. Here is the list of important things to an IBO:

1. Amway
2. Amway
3. Amway
4. Amway
5. Amway

I’m sure you get the pattern. That list could go into the thousands! Here’s how I see the list in the order of importance to an IBO but the Amway leaders don’t tell it like it is. They use repetitive stories to get this same message out to the flock.

1. Buy minimum 100 PV ($300) in Amway products each month
2. Attend all Amway meetings
3. Buy all Amway related business support materials
4. Respect your Amway leader
5. Respect everyone in your Amway upline
6. Devote your life to helping others
7. Love your wife and family – more important than the great Amway business
8. Love your life even if you don’t get much time off for Amway functions
9. Always make sure your mortgage/rent are met before you put any money towards Amway
10. Stay positive and help those you know to develop their own great Amway businesses

Anything else in an IBO’s life isn’t important anyway – according to the successful results of the distributors in our Amway upline.
