Sadly, all quite true.  Although I am still in AMWAY, I never did like
the rallies, etc.  On PBS recently there was a writer who investigated
most of the MLM companies (Multi-Level-Marketing) of which AMWAY is one,
HERBALIFE, et al.  His conclusion is that unless you are a natural or
gifted salesperson YOU WON'T DO WELL IN THE MLM SCHEME.  I don't recall
the book, but it should be in the stores presently, and it sounds like
good advice..
