However, I opted not to go to another one simply because it costs too much and to go to one every 4 months considering I was only able to sell $300 worth of customer retail orders a month made me operate at a net loss. Thus, I quit because I did things the right way and not the Amway way. I paid attention to the red and lost $400 last month, despite the 15 customers I had. But since I didn't believe in buying tapes, cd's, going to conventions, and when confronting my upline about it was given nothing but BS answers and was actually told, and I quote, "This is why it's important to keep people plugged into the system", it was at that point I told myself Amway is not technically a scam but is so much more difficult than running a real business, I quit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-41152344269504678022012-02-05T21:12:50.998-08:002012-02-05T21:12:50.998-08:00Agreed.

And attending functions and buying cds might not be deductible expenses as it doesn't result in in increased sales.Joecoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121920263105613498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8494309285043063074.post-61743460570855662922012-02-05T06:50:00.527-08:002012-02-05T06:50:00.527-08:00The net profit issue is why Amway IBO's tend t...The net profit issue is why Amway IBO's tend to lose in Tax Court when they argue they have a business rather than a hobby.Peter Reillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01473701483727808782noreply@blogger.com
