Hello, I am an Independent Business Owner and have been for the past 8 months. I have made no money and have thrown in close to 2,500 dollars in product, business material, functions and books. I made close to 800 but had relatively none to little clients in that duration. I have to be honest this isn’t because I was “scammed” into spending money. I did not build my business like I was taught and therefore reaped what I sewed. No one in World Wide Group told me I had to buy anything and were in my opinion the most respectful people I have come across. There are things I’ve learned in this business that I think they could tweak to help others understand and carefully start their business right. I have months where I did gross in a profit and it was simply due to moving more volume and creating legit clients and serving their needs and working smart, not hard. I truly believe you need to understand how everything works and have a good heart for people and work hard and you can be successful. Unfortunately there is no watchdog on every IBO so when someone makes a bad decision we all suffer from it becuase it gives naysayers material to use against the whole system. And to people who call people like me a cult member and all your other negative rhetoric remember to make sure someone proves that to you before prejudging them. There are a lot of great people in the system who will do anything to make sure your equppied to run your business right.
Nice comments. I was involved in Amway from 1991-1994, and had a great growth experience. I too, didn’t make a lot of money because I didn’t follow the plan well enough. I don’t blame the company or the system. I blame my own effort. However, my life has been impacted in such a positive way from that experience, that I really did profit from my business experience. Good luck.

Hello,
I and my sister was involved in away before 7 years. I enjoyed so much at that time and had great experience. This business totally depends on your will power and hard working. If you have both then you will get great growth. My experience was awesome.
Thanks
My husband and I have been IBOs (independent business owners) for 1 month now. Prior to joining I spent my time looking at all of the negative things on the internet about Amway and convinced myself it was a bad company before trying it.
I confronted the IBO that approached me about joining and he told me to see for myself and if I didn’t like it they’d refund my money.
So far what I have seen are people with good hearts and good intentions. My husband and I are extremely busy but the IBO’s above us are doing so much to make sure we get the help we need to be successful and meet our goal. I want to return the favor some day by doing the same for others. I’m using some of the products and they make me feel amazing. I didn’t think it was possible to feel this great again. Our goal right now is to replace my meager income so I can go back to school full-time. We have almost met that goal. But the most important change in our lives because of Amway and LTD is the change within us because of all the positive things we’ve heard and read from others. I’m reading so much more now, than I ever have and it’s making me a better person on the inside-this is the greatest treasure we’ve found (much more valuable than money).
I am an unemployed 50 year old. I was laid off from my last job and have had a hard time finding a new one. I am looking in to AmWay and I am going to attend there meeting tonight. I have a freind whos Daughter is selling AmWay and she is making close to $1000.00 month and this is her 3rd month at it. I hope this buisness is real.
