Not as long as my usual opinion/reviews, but none the less, just as important.
Amway is a business, the people who run this business are there to make money.
The methods they use are borderline criminal, and also break many peoples hearts.
They tend to pick on people who need extra money and then this is how it breaks down.
Some of theses “Upline” as they call the sponsors who got you into the business can give you some great advice about motivating yourself, motivating others and relatively how to live in a more positive environment.
These are the best things you get out of Amway.
Then they will tell you things like throw away all your non-Amway items, and even if you do not like the Amway products you must use them, otherwise how do you expect to sell them to other people.
The concept of Amway is slightly dubious, but the actual products them selves are quite good.
If you get involved with Amway, make sure that you are with people you know, and never let them make you do things you do not want.
I remember an upline of mine telling me to find almost £100 when I was broke to go to a function nearly 200 miles away.
I nearly left then, as I felt very pressured.
The functions they do are very motivating and also geared towards you buying more products for yourself.
The stories they tell you often contradict the earlier stories they told, so you are not quite sure how true they are.
People who have made it big tend to be businessmen who were quite confident, got in to it very early, and worked at “other things” within the Amway business that made them money.
You never find out what they are until you are at a certain level.
Amway is not a get rich quick scheme, nor is it a get people in and sit back scheme.
It is a sales process that involves a lot of time investment and constantly getting people in.
Good luck if you try Amway.
Just take it cautiously.
