At that time, the Amway manager doing the recruiting had very aggressive methods. Unfortunately, due to these methods and the massive "financial carrot" being dangled in-front of them, my friends used the same methods to recruit me and others. Well, our friendship ended shortly after that. So be very careful with these MLMs as there are more than money at stake here. Many years ago, some friends of mine began their adventures into Amway.

She lost over $1,500. She is very outgoing, organized, talented in the business area, and not afraid to ask people to get involved in her business. I really thought she had a good chance to at least make this something positive. The fact is that most of these businesses are just very expensive and time consuming hobbies. Most are also run like a pyramid scheme and the only way to make money is by enlisting agents under you. If you aren't ready to be an aggressive evangelist for your business, don't expect to make any money. My wife started one of these last year. She lost over $1,500.
