Customer Reviews

I was the most sceptical.

When I saw this business in 1979 , if they had a gun they wouldnt have gotten 50 bucks out me. It was the best 50 bucks I'd ever spent. It is not about products it is the people and the plan . I got so much from the association, the encouragement. Quite honestly, the people that I am (still today) associated with have done way more than either of my parents had ever done for me. No wonder I gravitated towards this company. I still love Amway for the memories . My grown children have said they remember the times we went on Amway week ends as the best times of their lives. I know there are people who paid the moeny to make a quick buck and got out and talk negative, but I believe they never even knew what they were in. The most honest, high integrity company I have ever known.

Amway The True Story

First of all the book and Amway does change a lot of peoples life, if we only refer to monetary value and we are refering to something that does not lasts, but if we are refering to friendship, lifestyle, time with family, spritual value and principles. Than being in Amway with the system is the best that one could offer. As such to those who oppose Amway, I really would like them to think, although those people may be a millionaire (one person does say this), but anyway if you did follow the system fully then there should not be any issues as all in obtaining the time and money. Remember as the review say, there is no scarsity there is only abundance, and the person from Texas is refering as if the world resource is scarse. Furthermore, if this person never been in Amway fully and never make a decision to build the business then, the person does not have any CREDIBILITY AT ALL to talk about Amway although all he could come out with lengthty statistics on this(by the way is he a millionare or a statistic professor :Really the book does explain if we want to have the correct INFORMATION please see the CORRECT people. In this sense if we want to know about AMWAY, meet Rich De Vos, or any of the Crown Ambassador. Like wise you don't ask your friend about the condition of your tooth (you ask a dentist) or the condition of your brain (you ask a neurologist), so really I personnaly don't understand some STUPID people who keeps on asking the wrong people.Lastly, the book talks about how there people start from a humble begining and went on to be somebody. For every succesful men there is an improvement and change, and these is what human is learning and improving. Start by being humble and learn the system, there is no room for ARROGANT people in this world. We have enough of those and we don't need them.Please DO GET THE INFORMATION FROM THE CORRECT PEOPLE. Just remember this simple example : It is strange if a ask a stanger 100miles away from your house about your son's heart condition. IT DOES. Who do you ask then ???????

Anyone can find negative in something

This is in response to the LONG essay, from the reader in Plano, Texas. If that person had spent the energy toward building their business instead of searching for all the negative they could find, they'd be making quite a nice income right now!!Not everyone has what it takes to be successful, only the ones with perseverance and the ability to see beyond the negativity and the struggles! The business works, you just have to work it! Nothing comes for free in this world, try starting your own franchise, you'll discover the investment to be an IBO is nothing compared to what it would cost to start a McDonald's, for example. PLus, it is only part time work, not total life ownership by the regular business!

and how long were you in amway before you gave up?

i was reading one of the reviews about amway from a former distributor in plano, texas, i believe. that review was nothing but a bunch of fancy words that meant absolutely nothing. it's people like this, that unfortunately influence people into thinking that it's wrong to want to have a better life, and to create a lifestyle that they have always dreamed about. this person analyzes his version of a business model that doesn't work. let me post a question for you, former distributor, how many years of effort did you put in before you discovered that you were making a mistake????

THE WORLD'S MOST DYNAMIC MULTILEVEL MARKETING COMPANY

People like to make jokes about Amway and those people who represent this very huge marketing company. Let's be positive. For one thing, Amway is the most successful company at what they do. For another thing, they are instrumental in moving products and also helping people understand the concepts of business, marketing and also the value of wealth. Yes Amway aligns itself with very innovative salespersons who may also sell tools, have seminars, forums, conventions and encourage their people to read motivational literature espousing the values of wealth and family and conservative ethics. So what. This book you are considering reading is the story of the company that started this entire multilevel marketing revolution. It is my advice that you read this publication so you can have something to compare to whatever else you shall be doing As a student if mind control, this is the start you have been waiting for. While you are at it, also read about WATCHTOWER, MCDONALDS AND MICROSOFT.
