I was a former voting member DD who saw some of the great things about the Amway/Quixtar business. We eventually dropped out of the busines not because of the Company, but because distributors above were not business savvy, or the ones below were writing bad cheques to us. The plan has been modified to solve the issue of NSF cheques, so that is not as big an issue as before. After I left the business, I came to the conclusion that the best part of the business is people, and the worst part is people. I also came to the conclusion that the business is TOO GOOD for the average person. Anyone who can make it in the Amway business is or becomes a very quality individual. You cannot make it other way. You cannot cheat people out of thousands of $$$ like other business "opportunities" sometimes do, you cannot coerce people into spending money, you can only try to get them to see a very simple plan, and they will decide if they are capable of making something out of it. The Company is AAA, financially solid, and never argues about returning your money, for ANY reason, even if it has been 6 months since the purchase. Try to find another company that reputable. Hell, Wal-Mart gives you UP TO 30 days, depending on the product, and if it hasnt been opened. I personally believe all the nay-sayers will find problems with most things in their life, and usually have limited business knowledge and/or a poor attitude. Walk into any business with a poor attitude and see how long you are around. Amway is really about... DISCOVERING YOURSELF! Most discover they arent prepared to do the groundwork necessary for success, some discover hidden talents they never knew about, and go on to become successful in the business. Quit bitching about the Company, they dont want and dont need negative people. They do want those with an open mind, who are prepared to commit a little money and a lot of time to create a life for themselves that no one else can provide with so little an investment. For those folks that genuinely like people, who can be patient with others while being impatient with themselves, and who have dreams but do not have a vehicle to obtain those dreams...GO FOR IT. One thing you will discover is: Those who "know" the most about it, have never been distributors, or quit early. Dont listen to those people! Also remember, a distributor (individual) is NOT an employee of the Company. They act and say things independent of the Company. If you hang out with people who are not upfront and honest, maybe it says something about yourself. Find new people to hang out with.
