Customer Reviews

Interesting read

I really never liked Amway. Of course, I never really knew anything specific about Amway or the founders of that organization...until I started reading about them in business journals and the Dunn and Bradstreet report of stability. The business community greatly respects the founders of Amway. They give away millions every year to charities. They help their community and society in general. The best thing is, this book is designed to show you what they did to get to where they are.This title presents an overview of the philosophy of the founders of one of the largest privately owned companies in the US and the world. They are successful people who explain how one might be a success as well.I've also noticed that most of the negative reviews for this title do not address the content of this title. Whereas, those who enjoyed it comment on the content. Interesting, wouldn't you say?The book is written clearly while maintaining the focus on encouragement and reaching one's goals.Good read even if you aren't saving money with Amway. They have a sister company called Quixtar. Very similar philosophy and quality products. Quixtar was founded in 1999 and is also privately owned. This philosophy works!

Great Book got me going

Well another great book by Paul Conn. People think sometimes Mr.Conn is a distributor but he is not and never has been one! He is though a great Dean of student's at Liberty University. For those who think there is no MONEY in the business has never experienced what I have. Im also an Independent Business Owner and if I wasn't making good profit like some people say! I would have QUIT long ago!!!!!!!

So THAT's how so many folks succeeded!

I've tried many Network Marketing businesses, so I wanted to find out why I wasn't a success, now I know it wasn't me Too many folks who are not doing anything with their lives will try to discourage those who try: COUNT ME IN!

Absolutely Fired UP! Book

The book simply tells of what ANYONE can achieve if they are willing to pursue their dreams and goals. In response to Rick Woodell--the odds have nothing to do with anyone's success in the business. It takes a special person to succeed in anything in life. Even this business. People who make money do what it takes, just like anything else in life. The people who don't succeed do not because they are not doing what it takes. 80% of college grads don't work in the field of their studies. Does that mean that school is bad? Look, everyone is special, and everyone can do this business AND SUCCEED if they want to. Everyone goes Diamond that wants to. It is a decision. Try? Try not. Do or do not. There is no try. Bless you all.

Outstanding book!

Though a little dated, this book gives a fantastic account of how Amway CAN work for some people. Though I'm not an Amway distributor and am not interested in becoming one, this book REALLY opened my eyes!
