Rating:  - Yep, it's accurate.
I noticed that a bunch of Amway-ers and MLMers jumped on board real quick-like to rate this book with one star. A friend of ours gave up everything he had, including his college education, family, and friends, to do Amway. Now this young man is disillusioned and penniless, and NOT because he didn't put in tremendous effort. Amway will say it is your own fault if you don't make it.
Their products aren't that whoopy either; just average. Give this book a read and make up your own mind... ... Read More
Rating:  - excellent book
Classic expose of an mlm business. Amway undoubted has some good things, and many "nice folks" do Amway. However, the business model is impossible. I read once that only one-third of one percent of all amway distributors make any real money.
The vast majority lose money. The same could be said for any other mlm. I realize that Amway defenders come out in droves to attack a book like this: so, to critics of this book, have YOU made more money than you've spent in Amway? Has anyone in your meeting, ... Read More
Rating: - It the truth
I have not had a chance yet to read this book--I just came across it--but I can tell you, from what I have read so far, it is true. I joined Amway in college. I'm a natural salesperson, and it was easy for me to make money selling the products to a captive audience of desperate dormmates. I sold the products out of the the trunk of my car. It was easy and fun, and I was making about $100 a week on it. My upline was flipping out. I was an unrepenting atheist, a very liberal Democrat, a flagrant feminist, ... Read More
Rating:  - To be honest, I haven't read this book, but...
I signed up with (was exposed to) amway/quixtar around '94. I've never really pursued it, but have seen other people who have, including my current sponsor who is getting ready to retire and work full time in the business.
First off, on most every tape and seminar I've ever gone to/listened to, I was told time and time again to never lie about whether the business I was talking about was Amway/Quixtar. If someone asked what business you were promoting, you were to tell them. I still have a baseball ... Read More
Rating: - EXCELLENT BOOK- A Little Long...
After being involved in the company in various aspects(growing up around it,IBOs and employment), Steve, writes a fantastic book about the whole "business". Like an archer with amazing skill, he hits the bullseye. He does a through investigation of the "business", from the IBOs extra income (Tapes and tools) to the authoritarian control of the management of the company. All the things he states are true, backed up by facts and hard data. It is hardly a "negative" book for a real rational mind, if an IBO has resisted ... Read More
