The Amway Global business opportunity is unlimited, but individual results vary. The average monthly gross income for “active” IBOs was $115 (US) and $181 (CAN) based on an independent 2001 survey. Approximately 66% of all IBOs of record
were found to be active. Based on an independent survey during 2001 “active” means an IBO attempted to make a retail sale or presented the Independent Business Ownership Plan or received bonus money or attended a company or IBO
meeting in the year 2000. “Gross Income” means the amount received from retail sales, minus the cost of goods sold, plus the amount of Performance Bonus retained. There may be significant business expenses, mostly discretionary, that may
be greater in relation to income in the first years of operation.
Growth Incentive Bonuses (GIP) are discretionary awards separate from the Independent Business Ownership plan. IBO eligibility for GIP awards is at Amway Global’s discretion and is based on conduct that demonstrates high ethical and business
standards and other baseline volume requirements.

BUSINESS SUPPORT MATERIALS In the AMWAY GLOBAL™ business, IBOs are responsible for training and motivating people they sponsor. Some IBOs use and sell Business Support Materials (BSM) created independently of Amway Global. These may include DVDs, CDs, books, websites, seminars, and business conventions. Some IBOs earn income from the sale of these materials apart from earnings under the
purchase of BSM from IBOs or third parties.
All BSM are completely optional. And whether or not you decide to purchase these materials, your sponsoring IBO is obligated to provide you with training and support. Your own good judgment should guide you in deciding what is best for you, considering among other things the cost, benefit, and time commitment associated with the purchase and use of BSM.
