Ok... I just wanted to say I made a few mistakes. Indeed, I am new to EMAIL and new to Amway. I bent the net rules a bit... I didn't think this would turn out to be a flame war. I'll list the mistakes I made so people don't have to flame me for them: 1. Left out Amway's name. This lead to suspicion about business. 2. Said I don't make any money from getting you to join. This is the truth, as I don't make any money unless you make money. However, people were put on the defensive immediately when I said this. 3. I should have made it more clear that this is not a once in the life opportunity, nor is it a get rich quick scheme. 4. Should have stated that Amway is often thought of with misconceptions, but is legal, has been in business for 30 years, is in 44 countries, had a court case with Customs Canada but won, and uses a device similar to the "ladder" or "pyramid" scheme but not quite. 5. Allows you to buy items for wholesale price... one of the main reasons to join. 6. Should have been more forward with my views to this business. Hopefully... flames will end here. Maybe some of you who were in doubt may change your mind a bit, and allow me to drop off information or get a meeting with you. Last... the big mistake I made was to post this article in a medium which allows for critical response. My objective (I've said for all my articles that I've posted) was to simply get I'm interested. I have had quite a few of those... so my objective was achieved. I'll let people decide for themselves whether they like it or not, not by some story they heard somewhere from some person. Most of the flames have completely mixed up what Amway is like. I regret this has happened, but I should have known. If you want to know what it is really like, give me a call or email me to set up an appointment or drop off some information.
