EXCUSE ME BUT IGNORANCE IS NOT BLISS...If you have no knowledge of what you are talking about, then,SHUTUP. The AMWAY Corp was founded as the product development and manufacturing arm of the American Way Association. These Association members distribute products at both wholesale and retail levels; wow what a revolutionary concept in a capitalist society.
I am now in the insurance industry and use the same tapes and books to train and motivate the sales force assigned to me. Our team is one of the top producing teams in are area; wonder why..FYI, no were not MLM, just a conventional sales force:
By the way, just some of the people the Van Andel's,DeVos' and the Yeager families brought in to indoctrinate us.
Ronald Wilson Reagan, George H.W.Bush, Neut Gingrich, Steve Forbes, Elizabeth Dole, Alan Keyes, Robert Kiosiki, Sugar Ray Leonard, Coach Tom Landry, Coach Lou Holtz, a Marine that lost an Eye, Arm and Leg in the first Gulf war; not withstanding the multitude of Evangelical Ministers.
Forgive me for my rant..but while I was building the business, I met people with more integrity and who cared for my success then anytime in my life. And if it wasn't for a 3.5 year divorce battle, I would still have a successful business.
Wow, touched a nerve there, didn't I? Are you seriously going to tell me that Amway is just a normal distribution structure? Please. That shows your ignorance of basic retail product distribution. You've been fleeced simply because you needed some bucking up from people who sold you a bunch of tapes. Don't lecture me about your insecurities, pal.
Do you have the guts to got to the website I mentioned and read up on your beloved Amway? And selling insurance through the same kind of cult-like tactics is hardly a step up in life. I don't care who they paid to speak to you, it doesn't make it a real business. But, hey, you're in denial. Enjoy yourself.
