*sigh*
I have been thinking about replying to this for a little bit but here we go.
I was in Amway for years starting about18 years ago and I would like to say that it was nothing but a positive influence in my life. No, I did not make any money at Amway but then I didn't really go out and show many people either!
What I got out of it was a complete attitude shift.
If I had not been in Amway I really doubt that I would have ever become self-employed, and I certainly would not have 9 investment properties.
Why? Because where hubby and I came from, you just didn't. We didn't know that you could invest in anything other than a bank account. We didn't have books like RDPD come our way.
We learned about personality profiling which has helped our marriage heaps and helps us deal with the different people that come our way.
I read the books and he listened to the tapes and our upline built our confidence, we just applied it outside of Amway into the rest of our life.
So, whilst I am happy that so many of you had an upbringing that meant you were supersmart investors right from age 18 and didn't need any pick-me-ups or pep talks to get going, that is not everyone's experience
. I learned heaps from Amway that I would have not learned from my normal environment.
