What an atrocious lie and insult - or else a betrayal of an astonishing naivete about how the big money in "the business" is made through the sale of "tools", functions, and BSMs. This is well-documented. So, MQ, if the "big pins" in Amway can legitimately be characterized as "successful", then I don't want to be "successful".<br /><br />---DanielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-90476575948456678292011-11-15T18:04:58.217-08:002011-11-15T18:04:58.217-08:00Well said, Jose - and kudos.

If that's what ...There is no free lunch people. If that's what your upline told you, he is just doing his "dishonest marketing" to get you interested. However it is not an easy way to get rich but it is definitely a possible opportunity in Amway. Amway is a highly respected company. I have known this company for about 30 years now. My uncle started this business 32 years ago and he introduced it to his siblings after that. I have seen too many success stories and even more unsuccessful stories. Reasons being? As usual, there are not many successful people in this world.<br />Amway has a very good marketing plan and what you need to do is to learn, follow and do it and teach and work with your downlines. If you think you can be successful overnight through Amway, Amway is definitely not for you. Please talk to the "real" Amway people as many other business, there out many "bad" people out there trying to twist the truth for their own benefits.<br /><br />My uncle and auntie worked their butts off in 1979 for 3 years... literally working 7/24 to learn, to expand their network, to grow the business. They achieved diamond in 1981 and after that their life changed. My uncle was a teacher. He resigned after 3 years when he became diamond. They continue working to more expand further their business although they already had a stable income. They went for overseas holiday 3 times a year FREE with pocket money - flying with business class. My auntie was diagnosed breast cancer in 1999. They stopped all the work and to treat the cancer. Their income never failed to to go in to their account (this is what they are talking about financial freedom when you have a stable network). My auntie unfortunately passed away 3 years after. However the income still never failed to come in as the business is still operating without active involving in the business.<br /><br />This is a very fair business. You get reward of what you have worked for. No, I am not in this business as this is not my cup of tea (at the moment, as I am not prepared to work my butt off yet). <br />The easy part of Amway is you fon't have to worry about the products, the quality, the marketing plan, etc. You just have to learn, follow and work it hard 100%. The difficult part of Amway business is about managing people, maintaining good relationship with your upline, downline, sidelines, your prospects, your personality. You are your own boss. So time management is very important.<br /><br />If you are not successful in Amway, only you yourself can be blamed. If you don't find your upline is helpful & supportive, talk to them or resign from their line. It is easier to have a good support team work sometimes as there will be a lot of down time. Don' be selfish but help each other even some sidelines who are not direct beneficial to you.<br /><br />Amway Scam? I don't think so. However I do think there are people out there use "Amway" as a tool for their own benefits. For this I urge Amway to keep an close eye on.<br /><br />MQAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-35516212011703247052011-11-14T07:16:13.657-08:002011-11-14T07:16:13.657-08:00Hey It's Jose, an Amway IBO from NY. I used t...Hey It's Jose, an Amway IBO from NY. I used to disagree with JoeCool but I now have come to the conclusion that the Amway business itself is great, but the lack of transparency and the fact I caught my upline Emerald lying to me countless times, especially when it comes to my downline allegedly going to meeting and my upline telling me this, only to call my downline directly to find out that was never the case. On top of that, my upline wanted me to bring people as well, thus more $6 to pay and more money for him to make.<br />I have decided I want to be one of the few Amway IBO's that REFUSE to promote the tools. I tried the CD's, books, and meetings, and have given my downline my opinion, which is to not even bother going to any of them.<br />I haven't learned anything from BWW at all, other than what a bunch of B$ the "training" is. It's nothing like the famous fast food corporation Amway is compared to when it comes to training. That fast food company actually teachs people how to run the franchise with concrete, practical teachings. BWW doesn't teach, it motivates people but passes this off as a support and training system. Quite honestly, I feel if you need motivation to run your own reseller business, you shouldn't be in business.<br />Sure I spent more money than I wanted to in tools, but it was really paid for by my customer sales. Yes it ate a small portion of my profit, but at least I didn't pay for it out of my own pocket.<br />The good thing about me going to these B$ training is this: As the leader I want to be, honest, transparent, reliable, truthful, I have told my downline the one thing I have been told not to do: Pass negativity (or what they perceive as negativity) to my downline. I have told them to learn the product, use what you actually need to use, and most importantly sell products to make the 100 PV, and the money will come. I told them the point is to make money and, since I went through the crap from my upline, I want them all to know my experiences, and let them make their own decisions. At least I can hold my head up high knowing I am doing things the right, ethical way, which is to just be truthful with what my experiences were and tell them what to do and what to avoid. Unfortunately, it seems I tell them to learn the Amway side and disregard the BWW side. It's worthless.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-26047793174719572152011-11-13T10:56:48.690-08:002011-11-13T10:56:48.690-08:00Joecool is an idiot.
