IS AMWAY A GREAT BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY?

(Top New Franchises) AMWAY or SCAMWAY?
With a brutally tough economy, record high foreclosures and widespread personal financial woes, many are looking for additional ways to earn some cash or start a new business. That means it’s boom time for those who are hawking business opportunities and multilevel marketing schemes. But what is MLM fact and what is MLM fiction?
AMWAY is arguably the most successful (or at least best known) “direct sales” organization in history. Yet there is so much negativity around the AMWAY name that much of the AMWAY website is dedicated to dispelling “What you may have heard” from AMWAY detractors.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? IS AMWAY A LEGITIMATE DIRECT SALES ORGANIZATION HELPING INDIVIDUALS REACH THEIR POTENTIAL – OR A BIG SCAM? HAVE YOU EVER SOLD AMWAY? WHAT WAS YOUR EXPERIENCE?
COMMENTS – PRO & CON – INVITED BELOW.
I used to sell Amway. It was not a viable plan because the products were priced too high to be competitive and my upline was always bugging me to attend meetings (which were not free).
Plus so many people have bad opinions about Amway. Add it all up and you have a recipe for disaster, not economic prosperity.
sold it 17 years ago but I was too young and immature to make a business out of it.
About 9 years later, I joined another direct sales company and rose to the top, having over 3,000 customers. The company was an infant, made poor choices, filed bankruptcy and I lost my entire business.
I’ve been scared to do it again with any other company, so after 5 years, I decided to go back to the tried and true – AMWAY.
I love network marketing, I love the people and I made money it it. I wish I would have been smart enough to stay with Amway the first time around. At least I’d have something to show for my efforts because they’ve stood the test of time.
AMWAY just make all those people believe to live their dreams.but the dreams are just too good to be true.how come would you believe this AMWAY.they already had scam? wow people you better do some research.to let you know a lot a bout what you are in to.
Amway is not realisticly profitable unless one is
both married, and connected to many like minded
read business conservative friends to sell HUGE
amounts of products to called downline.Also is
never worth the effort involved!
patric:
Why do you say you have to be married?
I’m curious as why that’s an advantage.
Anyone?
I love Amway/Quixtar, but I love and use the products. When it comes to a lot of their stuff I don’t think they are any more expensive than any other quality brand.
The reason they say about being married is because it’s supposedly easier to build the business as a team. Usually one part of the team has the skills, etc. that the other person doesn’t have. While one may be good at sharing the opportunity, the other one may be good at keeping the accounting straight. I think it’s more supportive to have a “partner” rather than doing it by oneself. Last but not least, not everyone can relate to everyone. You have two people with two types of personalities working toward a common goal. (Just my opinion. I’ve always done this by myself).
PS
I forgot to thank you for such an informative website. It’s very interesting reading about the different companies and the comments.
I love Amway! unfortunately i could’t join the Amway!!! for I can’t write the Chinese Character!!!the Chinese mixed te business with racial problems. is there any one care these things? we live in the Xinjiang , China.
AMWAY is awesome! I am 21 years old and with the way hte economy is going, it’s easier than ever to sell! NO one has the time or money to pay for gas or take a few hours to go from store to store shopping.
The was I see it, it’s lik any other business, if you want it bad enough you will fight for it, no one ever said this business was going to be easy, they said it would take tome and patience. If your climbing the corporate ladder your spending countless hours preparing invoices and such while others are spending every waking moment with their families. I will not be on my death bed wishing I would have ‘just made one more sale!’ I’ll be lying their thanking God I was free from financial strain and saw thye world with my family.
Plus you are surrounded by intelligent, motivated people who will bring you up in life, not tear you down.
If your dreams are big enough, your motivation will be bigger!
*Going Diamond::Alyssa*
my sis was in it once, wasted all her time and in the end made little or nothing. she got back into it recently against everyones advise it’s like a cult that turns you against your family so you don’t listen to them. now she has no time for family, just scamming strangers and wasting her time away with unfillfilled dreams. the constant meetings are to keep you brainwashed it’s all a scam and she knows it herself now as she tries to get others in ‘under her’. hard to see her as a Christian anymore when she does this, and it’s sad to see all the time she looses when she could be raising her kids. I’ll never understand how she could be so stupid. I asked her why she got in it last time and she said of course money. then I asked her what she got out of it and she eplied defensivly ‘I met a lot of very interesting people!’ I think that about says it all and if it didn’t work for my sis it won’t work for anyone. all the BS they tell you about how well this that and the other person did or is doing is all lies so they can get your money. 98% of all quixtar products are sold ONLY to stupud Quixtar members themselves, yet they go around saying they own a buisness??? Don’t give them a second of your time.
I know Im a bit late in this reply, cause this is dated january and we’re in november. But I just couldnt avoid answering. I dont know your age, but Im 18 and I know a lot about amway, and I know it works, I personally know people that succeeded and now they’re financially free. It takes time and an open mind to believe in things that look impossible. I live among amway IBO’s, I go to business meetings for a long time, since im 12, because my parents joined the business and they just had to take me and my sis along. I “woke up” when I was 14, I started listening and understanding where I was and what it was about, and I can tell you, I would not be the person I am today if it wasnt for these meetings. I dont even do the business, im not an IBO. YET. and why is that, if I know it works? well, because of my lack of effort and commitment… and it makes it hard and scary to know that i’ll find people like you, that dont care to study the company to the fullest, that dont care to learn more… instead, you just talk about it like it sucks… well, shame on you, that’s immature of you. Study it, read about it… But hey, if you dont believe it thats your problem, dont make it a problem to IBO’s!!! people in this business who fail,are those who just think that this is a joke,that this doesnt need any hard work, of course it does, but the investment is minimum, you have no risks… people who fail in Amway business dont study enough, dont work hard enough and dont believe in themselves… and probably are surrounded with people like you, that dont believe that freedom exists, if you work hard for it. I dont blame you, you know. the world is harsh on us sometimes, but you can make a choice… the one of not believing and not even caring to learn more about a great oportunity… or the one of really wanting to succeed in life and get out of your confort zone, to linger :) I choose the second one. just need to see more comments like yours on the net to give me strength to defend this great company that is AMWAY. you should just go to a seminar or convention… I really recommend it. I hope you have a fantastic life and hopefully I’ll meet you someday and invite you to my business! Im from Portugal, that’s far from you, for sure, but I’ll travel to you, dont bother! and im sorry if my english is not 100% correct… Bye!
If you have ever read anything by Robert Kiyosaki or Donald Trump, they highly recommend such programs. Those two men understand money and how to make it work in their favor. If such men recommend it, then it just might work. Donald Trump stated on Jay Leno that if he lost evertyhing and had to start over, that he would join an mlm such as Amway. The people in the crowd laughed, and he said “That’s why you ar there and I am here…”
That being said, I have many reasons to believe in this company aside from Kiyosaki and Trump, but if major financial player believe in them, I do too…
Guys,
DO NOT listen to detractors. AMWAY is the best of the best. Why ? FIND OUT yourself – unless you to this you will keep badmouthing it.
Someone said above that the meetings are not free.
But that person did not mention HOW much the gathering costs !!!!
It costs USD 5/- in Chicago – why ? will my father pay for rental of the hotel room ?
Cheers/
TO ALL!
I will attempt to settle these mindless disputes regarding the Amway business once and for all. Over the years I have read 100s of positive and negative comments regarding the Amway business to only conclude that:
1. The negative comments are usually people who have either never tried building a business (let alone the Amway business) or have tried in what they believe was a valiant attempt (regardless of what real success required)and find it easier to blame others for their station in life. It is called victim mentality and Amway seems to be an easy target for their disappointments in life.
2. The positive comments are, for the most part, by people who have found some benefit in being a part of the Amway business, whether it be for economic, social, product quality, or environmental reasons. Their only critisism is their need to pursuade the disenchanted that their positive experience is right.
What amazes me is how much energy both sides WAIST to convince the other that they are wrong or right. I guess it makes both sides feel important, which is a basic human need. To both sides of the equation, let it go. It is not worth the energy. The advocates for the Amway business will not change the minds of the disenchanted and I’m sure the disenchanted will not change their opinion unless they see something change directly in their lives (a close relative succeed in the Amway business, etc.). I would further encourage the disenchanted to also have the self respect to keep their personal problems private (i.e. not make a mockery of them online).
For the record, I am a director of a multi-billion dollar privately held investment company. I have seen my fair share of success and failure on 5 continents. I can say without exception that success (regardless of venture) takes effort, which most people are not willing to sacrifice to achieve. For the record, I am also and have been an Amway distributor for the past 16 years. I have seen both success and failure within the Amway business as well. In the Amway business, success and/or failure has nothing to do with luck, contacts, sales ability, or position in life. It has everything to do with tenacity, a strong work ethic, ability to learn and adapt, and ability to acquire and implement leadership skills (similar to those found in the corporate world). There are over 20,000 families globally who earn a six figure income from the Amway opportunity. The last I checked, I do not know of any other privately held company who can make that claim. The negative/critics of the world may say, wait a minute, what about the millions who don’t earn 100K+. And of course they would, it is an easy attack for the victim mentality thinkers. To them I would only say, you just don’t get it. It is not a welfare/social program, it is a business. The model of which is quite simple, build volume, earn a profit (similar to 99.9% of other business ventures). What is unique about the Amway business is that everyone can share in the profit, unlike most conventional businesses. Those who put the time and effort to succeed, will and do! Those who are disillusioned as to what success requires will not! Unfortunately life has taught me that there are FAR fewer people who actually invest the resources (time, education, capital, etc.) necessary for success than those who with good intentions say they would. In other words, talk is cheap!
For those who pursue the Amway business, it is not easy. Nothing worth while ever is. My suggestion to all who desire success is to build a strong character. Stay humble and work hard in a proven environment that has developed so many success stories. There are no shortcuts to success. Lastly, stay away from those who seek mediocrity! They cannot teach you beyond their thinking. Nothing great in life has ever been accomplished by a critic.
Sincerely,
Phil
amway as any other MLM is a business structure that promotes the idea of building your own sales team, but as many other opportunities people can turn it in to a pyramid scheme it all deppends in your up line and what are they teaching. in my case im involved in Amway and i like it so far i have been making realy good money and i have no downlines, i just focuse in the sales and making a customer base but now after a huge success in sales and having the best way to present the products and make the sell im willing to expand my business because i have experience and value to transfer to my downlines. its all about helping people to ether have a better and healthier lifestyle or achieve their financial goals. if you think that you are here just to help your self and screw everyone else that joins your organization you are ready to faliure. i your are iterested on belingin to my sales team just e-mail me to angelfeliciano)88@yahoo.com. i will mentor any one who whant to be in a sales based business and not in a recruting scheme.
Amway is arguably the BEST opportunity to become ‘FINANCIALLY FREE’. Now this doesn’t happen without right efforts . Anyone working the business true to the Britt World Wide system will make it. This opportunity is scientific not arbitary. Sadly the entry level being open to all, people flock in with eyes wide open seeing the ‘potential’. When it comes to the ‘effort’ the so called ‘dreamers’ shy away and blame the whole failure on Amway. One has to understand that Amway is also like any other business gives money on the TURNOVER one creates in his business. Compared to other product suppliers Amway is far ahead than even the best of fortune 500 companies. In LIFE outside this opportuntiy it is the ’spirit of COMPETITION’ that enables them to sustain , whereas in Amway it is the ’spirt of CO-OPERATION’ that thrives. This aspect itself is alien to the generally competitive mind and its environment. Getting to understand requires a mindset of compelling GOOD ASPIRATIONS mixed with a willingness to help others too in the process.
Whether one likes it or not the fact and truth remains-outside Amway there isn’t an opportunity for ordinary people to excel and live a life of abundance, peace and significance.
I’ve found that the most promising MLMs are the more established ones. Typically they let you try out their products/compensation and start for free before they ask you for a penny (if they ever do). Also, the goal is to invest as little as possible in order to achieve a maximum turn around so it’s not necessarily the most expensive mlm that will always have the largest return.
Balagopal, Angel,
You are right. Amway (now in its 50th year) is in fact the best opportunity.
The other day I saw a host of Russians at Chicago’s O’Hare sporting “Nutrilite” t-shirts. When I asked them, they were all Russian Diamonds on a vacation sponsored by Amway.
What I always wonder is:
- Why don’t people understand that a certain product is really
one of the best. So you benefit TWICE. You use it and you get paid for
using it !
- Internet is just a TOILET bulletin board. People can write what they like.
And they badmouth Amway. It is entirely upto us – whether to believe
it or not. Whey dont they try to google “Hate USA” and see how many
bad things turn up – still these same idiots want to stay here in this
same country.
- For any other business, people say “we just started it”. But for Amway
when we tell them we just started it, they laugh and say “so you are
still not a millionnaire” ?
- Why do people hate Amway WITHOUT knowing what it is, how it works,
how it is beneficial…..
- Why do they say “I lost money ?” what money are they talking about ?
did they not USE THE PRODUCTS while in Amway ? So how is the money LOST ?
Why not say the same for Costco and Sam’s club ?
Guys, get wise, do not let a good opportunity pass.
Do you think you know better than hundreds and thousands people who have become rich in Amway, and include the likes of Nasa Engineers, Scientiests, IT professionals, CEO’s of companies, Professors and even Doctors ?
Contact your nears Amway friend and get started right away.
Success depends on you, NOT ON OTHERS, so dont blame Amway, blame yourself.

“Success depends on you, NOT ON OTHERS, so dont blame Amway, blame yourself.”
I couldn’t have read a better settence today. I wish everyone could be humble to admit that their effort and time is what brings them everything, in every aspect of their lives. people just dont want to get out of their confort zones. i kind of understand that, i just dont understand why they talk BS about amway, when I just love it trully and deeply. it hurts me that people dont care to learn more and study the opportunity instead of talking about it like it has no value. an IBO has got to be strong to hear certain things… thats why I didnt start yet. getting ready since i was 14!! 18 now, time to start! All success for you! Greetings from Portugal!
I’m into direct selling and for any Business information or protucts you contact me
If anyone of you would like to know about Amway business oppertunity or the product please contact me
Amway was a mixed bag for me. I lost money buying lots of overpriced products and marketing materials. I do believe some products they have are exceptional – like SA-8. Problems is that it is WAY more expensive. I cant see spending 7 dollars on toothpaste when I get get one that will do a satisfactory job at Walgreens for one dollar.
I beleive many in my former upline were making their money buy selling books, tapes, and seminars. And thats ok to a point because it really did help me – but really made me go broke too fast.
I am glad I found something else. Best wishes for those that stay with it.
Jeff
Good conversation. Gain a lot of insights.
Jeff
Anyone there? My posts are not appearing!
My parents were under Britt in the 1970’s. Then one of the first in Germany the middle 1980’s. I joined in the early 1990’s. Stayed with the company untill 1999. Made allot of money with the Queen Cookware. I was in the armed forces and had to give Uncle Sam my undivided attention. However, Amway did bring me money and I did not even attend but 1 meeting.. hahahah. I took a break from direct sales from 1999-2005. I was part of that whole group of beginner Quixtar members. So, with all that said, if you want to make money with Amway you can. If you want to try other companies, that’s fine as well. I found one, which I don’t have to defend all the time. Bign.com. Funny, thing is, I realy do save with this company.
So the cycle of deception perpetuates itself ad nauseum. Amway is,lets face it guys…effing SATANIC. How many decades of deluded hopefuls have been chewed up and spat out by this systemic, geared deception? “…Check Upline??? My arse! Keep your OWN COUNCIL. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN FAMILIES.And, while you are at it GET A LIFE!. Amway is a latter day diabolic/infernal/global manifestation. If you doubt me, just ask yourselves how much are you GETTING OUT OF THIS in the HERE AND NOW? I am, of course, assuming you have all been diligent enough to read “Merchants of Deception” by a certain deluded Amway Diamond?
To quote from Jack Lemmons character in Glengarry Glen Ross….”Im done with ya!”
To expand on my rather vehement, though largely unsubstantiated denouncement noted yesterday,and in the interests of clarity I should explain that I had previously been involved with the Amway cult in the mid-late 90’s. I lost little, but only because my involvement was minimal, and I spent as much time questioning and analysing as obeying and conforming (The Borg in Star Trek could “assimilate” a good deal from Amway, incidentally). I am grateful for that. I very easily could have been the author of several of the “positive” comments noted previously. I was, admittedly, suckered in, as many tens of thousands of fundamentally decent people have (and sadly will continue)to be. I guess I was partially insulated by maturity, native cynicism,a degree of worldly wisdom and a questioning nature. For anyone who has been “approached” and has begun to weigh the “benefits” I would ask them to acknowledge that you have already opened your mind to the danger, and placed yourselves at risk. Please, assess this “opportunity”, excercise appropriate DUE DILIGENCE (the truth is out there and readily accessible)and please ask yourselves can ANYTHING which generates so much controversy can be intrinsically good. Check the IBO earnings stats and forget the hype! Google “Merchants of Deception” and dowload a free copy. The ten or so hours it will take you to read should be considered an investment in your future “business” aspirations. Oh and while your’e at it take 15 mins to check out “Birdie Yaeger” on U-Tube. This grinning diabolic huckstering Bitch / wholly deranged Madwoman represents all you need to understand!…and if that doesnt freak you out and give you pause, you deserve to sell your immortal soul to these money-grubbing maniacs masquerading as human beings Incidentally, this heartfelt missal constitutes my GOOD DEED for the day! Apologies for any offense taken, but some things engender anger, not politeness for the sake of appearances.
Steve Howarth’s comment was made into it’s own post. Comments welcome.
“Is Amway “Effing-Satanic’?”
http://www.bizzia.com/franchisepick/is-amway-effing-satanic/
Its gratifying to see that my admittedly caustic remarks have been made into their own post. I would like to address Phils (April 4th ‘09)informed observations relating to the efforts required to build a successful business, and the willingness of the less driven,ie, “the mediocre” to decry the efforts of the more achieved. No argument there Phil …HOWEVER
It is my informed belief that most of the income enjoyed by the miniscule percentage of highly successful Amway distributors is realised through,and driven by, the motivational tools volume flowing through their PERIPHERAL business (check out Dexter Yaeger, Crown Ambassador, by the way) as distanced from “Amway” although, as I understand, silently condoned and accepted by same as it generates MASSIVE sales volume via the much-vaunted personal consumption (NOT SELLING.. GOD FORBID!)approach. Personal consumption will NOT make you rich,incidentally. This is the tail wagging the dog in terms of what most distibutors have been led to believe. This explains why to be successfull it is FUNDAMENTAL to instill and to promote relentless, ongoing, unquestioning “motivational fixes” (at considerable investment) via rally tickets and motivational aids to your “downline”. The fallout from the intensity demanded from getting this tawdry message across can lose you friends AND respect…but quickly!
ALSO: The insular, cultish, tribalistic and massed-mind behaviour, which I have witnessed across several “rallies” is beyond dispute,and SERIOUSLY DISTURBING; confusing a “business meeting” with a Rock Concert. Furthermore, the forced, unquestioning conformity to a “proven” system of success is wholly contrary to what many (free thinkers) would view as the ideal enterpreneurial model, where freedom of though and action, a clear vision, individuality, and personal drive constitute achievement, NOT a stifling of these attributes as in Amway, where any HINT of self-expression or questioning of the “system” is instantly pounced upon, repressed and contained by your “upline” (who may, incidentally, be a totally unworthy role model to slavishly defer too anyway!…he only sponsored you for Gods sake!)
AND: No where else have I witnessed such celebration of GROSS materialistic gluttony as within this business.Take a step back and ask yourselves if you REALLY get turned on by these people wallowing in excess and defining themselves wholly by their “wealth” Think lowest common denominator here guys and girls! If I want to gain the PROFITABLE attention of the MASSES, I will pander to their BASEST instincs, in this case GROSS MATERIAL EXCESS AND THE FALSE PROMISE OF TOTAL FREEDOM AND RICHES. Its a no-brainer really innit?
Amway is a fascinating trip/journey into the nature of mass psychology, systemic control, group dynamics and (eventual) cult withdrawal. Anyone would do better to view it in this context.
ps: Have you checked Birdie Yaeger on U-Tube yet???? She is far more eloquent-in-summary than I could EVER be!!!
Steve Howarth wrote “Have you checked Birdie Yaeger on U-Tube yet???? She is far more eloquent-in-summary than I could EVER be!!!”
What’s the Birdie Yager video prove? What is it… 30 years old?
Some crazy woman (or drunk. Or both) had a psychotic break in front of a microphone in 1968.
Actually, I found it compelling case for Amway. If this nutcase could make millions with Amway, can’t anyone?
Dear ‘merchant of deception’…we hv seen many of these desperate attempts to promote one product by condemnming the other..steve is sycho
I DON’T UNDERSTAND THOSE PEOPLE WHO ARE TRYING TO SAY THAT AMWAY IS A “SCAM”. PEOPLE HAVE NEVER ACHIEVED ANYTHING IN THEIR LIVES AND OBVIOUSLY DIDN’T DO ANYTHING WITH THIS BUSINESS, THINKING THAT BY SIGNING, MONEY WILL START POURING INTO THEIR ACCOUNT. YOU FAILURES ARE FINDING AN EXCUSE AND YOU KNOW IT!!! I DON’T CARE IF IT TAKES ME 10 YEARS TO HAVE TREMENDOUS INCOME. BUT I WILL NOT GO TO WORK AS YOU ARE, SO CALLED SLAVES!!! YOU GOTTA THINK OUTSIDE OF YOUR BOX AND YOUR STUPID FRIENDS WHO ARE PULLING YOU DOWN TO THEIR CRAP NEST.
YOU KNOW THAT BY GOING TO WORK, YOU ARE FULFILLING SOMEBODY ELSES DREAM AND GOALS??? OH YOU HAVE ONE TOO? REALLY? –YOU PROBABLY FOUND ONE THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE WITH THE INCOME YOU ARE GETTING. YOUR DREAMS MUST BE SO BIG THAT FACTS WILL NOT COUNT…
Hi Phil,
Kudos to you. YOu hit the nail on the head.
People think Amway is “get-rich-quick” scheme. Once they realize it involves hard work – they back out and lash out at Amway.
It is like any other business with IMMENSE opportunities. Whether we should grab that opportunity or let it pass is entirely up to us….
Cheers/Shekhar
Hey Phil,
Thanks!! That was the most apt answer there could be. And to the point that the amway guys brainwash people, I would say that if you are not being brainwashed to be successful you are being self-brainwashed to be a failure. I love being brainwashed to be able break free. I daily witness so many directionless and lost men and women finding their dreams and fulfilling through this business and truly as you said, it applies to any business. I find the training organizations great for they even turn housewives into successful entrepreneurs.

So many times have we all read posts from those who claim to be CEOs, heads of corporations, multi-millionaires, billionaires, etc. yet can’t get a simple point across or insist on bashing and finger-pointing.
The bottom line is that it is not something for nothing, or pie in the sky, as L-Dub calls it, but the success can be very real if you are willing to put in the work. If you do not like doing some of the things that will help your business grow, such as attending meetings, attending team callings, functions, reading books, listening to the CD’s and things of that nature, I would implore you to ask yourself whether you would prefer to wake up at 6 A.M. every day, sit in bumper to bumper traffic, have to ask your boss for a raise vs. creating one for yourself, work 5 days a week to have 2 off, get 2 weeks of vacation a year…I think you can see where this is going.
It’s a matter of priorities. At first I didn’t see the value in reading books, attending meetings or listening to CD’s, but as I did those things I found myself learning, and growing as a person and developing the skill set I need to lead a large team. As time went on, I found that my upline/crossline beleived in my wife and I even at the times that we didn’t beleive in ourselves…and we are pretty motivated.
However everybody has moments of weakness at times. I look forward to doing the things that the PROVEN team teaches me so that I may look forward to a lifetime of success. Also, for those that are on here to find answers to questions and gain some clarity…meetings, books, CD’s, functions….they are all optional.
Amway distributors are self-employed and may operate their business how they see fit. If you do find benefit in such things, the cost is negligible. The books are common books that you can buy at any bookstore for $10-15 a piece. The CD’s are $7.50 a piece. The weekly meetings are $4 for admission, and that is simply to cover the cost of renting the building, not to turn a profit. We aren’t talking about high dollar acquisitions here, and the value of the knowledge that you gain from that $10 book will far surpass what you paid for it.
Does it cost money to start up your business? Yes…my initial investment was appx. $175, and there is a $50 annual renewal fee. You may liken that to annual dues that warehouse club-type stores charge for the “privelige” of shopping with them.
Are the products overpriced? Not hardly. Popular energy drinks that stores sell cost around $2.25 per can. Amway’s brand costs $1.85. Amway’s laundry soap costs less on a cost-per-use basis than the major brand most people use, and outperforms it to boot.
In closing, I would like to say that I paid $300 for an Xbox 360 and I’m pretty sure that when I beat the final boss on Rainbow Six Vegas that the console won’t spit out $75,000. My $175 initial investment for an Amway IBOship however? Well, not yet, but the potential is there at least. And that’s more than most people can say for what they are doing.
PS “Birdie Yager Speaks to Amway” is the specific U-Tube listing.
wow what an overstated, highfalutin, retarded comment, made by a person who works 70 hours a week. It is okay, while you are there working and typing your essays online you just lost yourself 1 hour that you could have used making money or doing something productive. I wrote this in 2 minutes. I wasted 2 minutes as opposed to your 1 hour of jibber jabber that nobody probably even read. Good job, too bad you lose money not making it doing so. Don’t take advice from this steve howarth guy, he is just one of the very many HARD CHARGERS, that make average money.
You can start a business in China as Amway is now in China.
And that is why you would never listen to most of these people in this forum as they are nothing but failures at what they did so they have nothing but negative things to say. Like the saying goes, environment affects the people that are in it, and a negative environment like a lot of these ignorant people are a part of, is holding them back. You know how the greats made it, they didn’t listen to the negative people who were poor, or working 40+ hours to make ends, they listened to the people that were sitting on their asses while their initial input compounded a large interest in money. In every business you put in 10 years of good work and it will cost time and money but it will live on for years without as much work.
Well Christopher, seems you “read it” so you have just destroyed your own argument.Hopefully others will too. Even though I may not “earn” anything from my online efforts (not unlike Amway incidentally) I will have at least pointed out that I have been there, done that and been fortunate enough to see behind the smoke and mirrors without massive penalty. And yes,I consider this a constructive use of my time, evenif only one “prospect” is warned off. I repeat, the true facts behind this opportunity are fully documented and freely available. If you have to “check Upline” for permission before seeking it out, or acting on it, I guess you are too far assimilated anyway, and you have my heartfelt sympathy. Remember: “Merchants of Deception” free copy to download. Can’t repeat this too often fellas!!!
And, Kilgore, Birdie is the wife of Dexter Yager, a multi millionaire racketeer, glorified by gullible downline distributors and effectively endorsed (and obscenely rewarded) by Amway who leaches off “plugged in” Ambots by ripping them off mercilessly for “system” tools, ie tapes,books, CDs, Videos and seminar tickets. He has a captive audience and a “tools” Factory..good deal eh?, and most of his income is generated this way. They use “Christian” teachings to mask this deception, and Yes, she is quite Mad, if this performance is typical.
Actually Prakash, I am not promoting any alternative products, Just saying it like it is with regards to the Amway deception. You forgot the “P” in Psycho incidentally…no offense intended. Nor am I in any way “desperate”. I am simply passing on the benefit of specific experience and knowledge in the hope that I give others pause for thought and reflection.
I can state with no ego (to quote Hattori Hanzo) that there is not a single Amway distributor in the UK to whom I am unwilling to engage in honest and open debate. My premise and belief being that none of you are actually earning any money WHATSOEVER (discounting what you plough back into the system)and that you ALL believe that your material rewards are in the future. This is my point precisely…
