It's still a rational, logical, reasonable, and common sense reply. My reply that is- Of course you'll make excuses. You'll say things like that all day long. "You could sell an ice cream to an eskimo", "You're brainwashed with responses" on and on and on. As for the lawsuits and the bad press and the complaints. Everything gets that. My real esta

As an Active licensed real estate agent, in Colorado, I COULD NOT AGREE MORE! Heed his words. I see so many folks who buy into these "no money down" programs. It takes a lot more than buying a tape set and a couple books.

Again I will relate this topic to my current business, real estate. With real estate you have an initial investment to get started. Then you have ongoing expenses that are there to ensure you succeed. I relate this type with the "tools" of Amway (e.g. Tapes, Functions, Meeting, etc). If I looked at real estate from the standpoint of, "I better not spend all this money because

That is a shame what happened to you. I sometimes question folks abilities to distinguish between the good things they do and the good things they do. Often people place emphasis on things in their life and take away from other crucial areas too. It appears so in this case. Perhaps some of the negative I encounter with the former Amway members is because they are envolved with an upline lik

Well a Master degree and a Business degree. Are you a mortgage officer? Let me enlighten you to the facts. I PAY bi-weekly on my mortgage and it will take seven years off of my total mortgage. It does work!!! Paying it bi-weekly. If you do not believe me I will offer you my mortgage officer's number and name. You can contact him and he can fax you the amortization schedule.

Lets examine the numbers. 0.000023 people make it in MLMs. But people buy lottery tickets. Why? Because it's easy and they can blame the system if it doesn't work. In my town there are 3000 real estate agents. Only about 200 make the money. Good money that is. Why? THEY ARE WILLING TO DO THE WORK. Grow up. Statitics are excuses for folks not willing to work.

Wow. A lot of interesting replys. I especially like the "cutting the family ties" remark. Listen, I am a real estate agent, if my father buys or sells a house through another realtor I'll "cut" the tie too. That would be stupid on his part. Amway is no different. As for the conservative view - well it's the smart option. As for the Christian view - at le
