Amway ABO Work Week

Ever go to an Amway meeting and hear the leader tease the audience who work jobs by saying "C'mon guys..don't you know you are trading hours for dollars?".

To that I say its better to be in Amway then trading hours for pennies!

Money and time. We all have the possibility to make more money. Especially if you’re in Amway. But we can’t make more time.

We all have the same 168 hours in a week. So lets break down a typical workers week. And lets say the worker has a regular full time job. Let’s call it 50 hours a week for the dreaded J.O.B. plus travel time getting to and from work.

That leaves 118 available hours. However most ABO's work from home so we're back to 118 in an ABO's week.

Let’s take morning. Get up and do all the stuff you have to get done especially if you’re getting kids off to school. Let’s call it 2 hours each morning for 5 mornings in a work week.

Knock off 10 hours to leave the ABO with 158 available hours.

And seeing as how we’re on 10 hours lets call that the amount of time an ABO has to spend on their cell phone dealing with phone calls and texts from the uplines or downlines in their Amway busines every week.

148 hours left in the ABO’s week.

The ABO is decides to listen to some training CD’s or read an Amway recommeded book for at least 15 minutes a day. I want to deal in round numbers so call it 2 hours a week absorbing useful information to help poromote your Amway business.

146 hours left.

What about Amway meetings? This will vary depending if there’s a weekend event going on which could possibly tie up the entire weekend and suck away quite a few hours. For the sake of argument let’s say there’s not. Amway meetings usually start at 8pm and last 2 to 3 hours where the board plan is shown and then there might be some product training or night owl or whatever is deemed important on the evening. Serious business builders will show up to Amway meetings an hour before they begin, so 7pm so you can sit around and chat with the other ABO's. Then there’s travel time to get there and back. ABO's can sometimes attend up to least 3 meetings a week and that means investing around 6 hours a night = 18.

146 hours less 18 hours.

128 hours.

How many hours a week does an ABO spend prospecting others? Extreme cases may go to Barnes & Noble, Safeway, the mall, gas station, wherever the ABO can source prospect. Phoning people they know inviting them to come to Amway meetings or buy Amway products. I’ll call that the 10 to 15 hours/week your leaders advise you to spend working Amway in your part time though it might take more hours than that to line up prospects and work on your name list. Call it 15 hours.

That leaves an ABO 113 hours in their week.

How many times in a week does someone in your Amway upline phone you and ask if they can chat a while?. You might decide to drop whatever you’re doing and haul ass to go and see him or her. Or counseling with upline? Lets lowball it and call it 5 hours a week spent time traveling and talking with your upline.

113 – 5. Do I need the calculator? Yup. I’m bad with numbers. 108!

How much sleep does an Amway ABO need? How much they need and how much they get when they’re done doing the Amway thing for the day ain’t gonna be the same answer. Who remembers hearing Amway leaders saying you can sleep when you’re dead followed by the Amway ABO chuckle HUA HUA HUA. OK! They were joking but let's get real! Let’s call it an ABO sleeps 35 to 40 hours a week. And just so I don’t need to get the calculator out again lets call it 40 hours week. Slightly less than 6 hours sleep a night.

108 hours from above - 40 hours sleep.

That leaves an ambot 68 hours in their week to eat dinner every night and spend quality time with their family or visit friends or hang out or spend time on hobbies and that will mostly be on the weekends. See? When you’re an Amway ABO you have a lot more time to do stuff than if you had to work really long hour in a regular J.O.B!.

Remember when I said you can’t make more time.

Join Amway and that frees up at least 50 hours/week!

And the best thing is you’ll be saving money again instead of frittering away on junk food and TV.
