Did you wife, sister or brother in law blow out their Roladex or life's savings chasing the Amway dream?
Nope. I know some successful people who are in Amway, but they were successful in business before Amway. In '96 I went to a rally (Amway rally, of course !gotcha! ), but that was about it.
It was a cult like cheer
fest where they prayed a lot, had a church like "praise team" and told uplifting stories of wealth and prosperity of serving God through giving and stories about owning many homes and gifting ten thousand dollar watches to fellow members. Brig Hart hisowndamnself was there encouraging everyone to "get in". It was like people worshiped him for getting rich and he could "heal" them of their financial woes, casting out the demons of having to work a job for a living. 8)
I listened to their hypnotizing tapes and all that stuff, but never took the plunge. :mrgreen:
A different time I was lured into a MLM meeting by someone posing as a plumbing customer.
A lady that worked with my wife call me for an urgent plumbing problem with kitchen sink, but when I go there said she just wanted "free estimate".
Next words out of her mouth, "Oh, while you are here, I have some GREAT news, she had an easel with a PrePaid Legal sales presentation ready for me. When I tried to leave, she asked me to look at her bathtub, then she started again with that PrePaid Legal crap. I just walked out. A month later, she was selling ADT security too. Of course, she called me again.
THAT'S been my memory of that woman for ten years, annoying time waster.
I had a customer that sold "health supplements" that I bought for a while. He was no pressure on me selling anything, just give him the twelve bucks and I'd have my bottle of herbal speed, he did ask for me to tell my friends about it if I liked it.
I quit taking it after I read that something at GNC that some of the ingredients were linked to kidney failure. I might have spent 36 bucks in total.
