Customer Reviews

Good book for anyone in Network Marketing or any home based business.

This book by Shad Helmstetter certaintly does an excellent job of selling Amway and the Amway opportunity. I am not surprised to see that it made the book of the month club as well it should have. It should be in the book of the month club for all network marketing companies and all home based business opportunities and must reading for anyone who is in business. What this book teaches are the habits of success. Via affirmations, author Shad Helmstetter conditions the qualities required to succeed like prospecting, avoiding a negative attitude, how to nadle negative people, using the tools, how to build you business and a special script on how to go diamond. I'm not in Amway. By changing some of the words in the scripts, I was able to adapt Helmstetters scripts for my own network marketing program. They can just as easily be adapted for any business. Since reading this book, I went out and bought Network of Champions and What To Say When You Talk To Yourself, two other books by Helmstetter with equally excellent results.

I had suspicions...

After reading so much negative material about Amway and almost being downtrodden by negative thinkers, I decided to pick up this book and see what it was all about. I was so pleasantly surprised that someone who was not actively involved with the company held such positive views that I had to check it out. This book helped me to realise that so many people just want to cut you down because they are not willing to pay the price for success. I have since begun building what is growing to be a substantial Amway business and I am forever grateful to Shad for writing this book!

Excellent read for anyone.

I was astounded at the wealth of information given in this book. Since reading this book, I've had the chance to meet the author. I would like to dispell one rumor. Shad is not affiliated with Amway in any way. Nor was he paid by Amway corp for this or any other review of their business. This book is a totally unsolicited view of the Amway business.

This book gives you the FACTS!

If people would just take the time to get the FACTS on the Amway opportunity, their lives would be changed for the better. This book gives you the facts, not just someone else's opinion. I highly recommend it!

The best book on this business I have EVER read!

In all my years in this business, I have read many books. None have affected me so profoundly, or given me the answers I have sought as directly, and accurately as this book. If you will read this book and APPLY the information in it's pages, you will succeed. Not only in this business, but in any endeavor you choose. Dr. Helmstetter, is not an Amway Distributor, he IS a world renowned psychologist who has spent many years observing and studying the people in this business. The people who would read this book and "slam" it are those who are uninformed about the business or closed-minded about it. Even those who say they are and have been distributors for "years". Those that would say the book was written "just to make money", I ask: In the final analysis, isn't EVERY book written with that end purpose in mind? To make a profit? If not, why have the book published in the first place? Get REAL! If you approach the book with an open mind, you will gain very valuable information about this phenomenal, 7 billion dollar plus a year business! It is a MUST READ for anyone who is in this business and WANTS to build it, or anyone who wants to REALLY KNOW what makes this business "tick".
