Although even if they jump on us and stick there, we have the power and the ability to carry them without being dragged down. I think this business is that great. I am certainly becoming a much better person for it.

Ranade Tue, 19 May 2009 07:19:00 +0000 http://www.thetruthaboutamway.com/?p=1710#comment-4041 Hi guys, Being from India has, at the moment, a distinct advantage, in that very little of the potential market has even been approached, and given that like any other business, it'll take at least 2-6 years to start getting any kind of results (depending on one's speed etc), I am content to just build the network right now. I use the products, and I like them. And even though I started looking at Amway as a serious 'part-time' business only a little over a week ago, I don't think that it'll require the kind of work that Jeffrey you say it'll need, irrespective of the kind of people-skills one possesses to begin with. I have seen people at business meetings who have progressed by entire pins almost every two months. Since everyone I know and everyone I have heard speak has started out completely negative or disbelieving about the business, I am not too worried, because the initial time they spent overcoming their negativity was what mostly caused them to not get success sooner. I think it is more dependent on how big your dreams are and how motivated you are in wanting to see them fulfilled, and how open-minded you are than anything else, right, Bridgett? Cheers :) JD Hi guys,

Heck, back in Oz we used to go to a cafe after our open plans and spend a few hours there. We hardly talked business, we just hung out. Sounds like you would have included that as "work time". I certainly didn't. Sure he wasn’t visting his mistress Jeffrey? :)

Just the picture you describe is something I am completely not interested in doing, and am grateful that there is more than one way to build the Amway Business. :) Agreed, not easy.

He loaded up his car with tools every day, would leave around 3 in the afternoon and get home around 3 in the morning. Going Diamond is not easy, no matter what anyone, including Diamonds, says. Worth it, but not easy. I just saw what I saw. He loaded up his car with tools every day, would leave around 3 in the afternoon and get home around 3 in the morning.

And, they didn't do it for 14 years. I do know of an EDC, who did work 30 hours a week for 5 years just to go Platinum. However, he makes it very clear it's because he had horrid, horrid, horrid people skills, and it took him that long to change. I believe there is a stat, for the U.S., which says that the "typical" Diamond took 10 years FROM WHEN THEY SIGNED THEIR REGISTRATION. I think that many people, including myself, futz around with this biz for a while, before being consistent. Becoming an IBO, and doing the work to build your business, doesn't necessarily happen at the same time. Still, even those whom I know personally who built their Diamondship in 10 years or less, seem to follow a pattern where they got to Ruby, and then from Ruby, with about 30 hours a week, to Diamond in two years.
