Having run my own distributorship for a few years, I can positively tell
you that indeed AMWAY is a genuine money-maker.  What leads people to be
confused is that the corporation has thousands of independent distributors
each running their own independent business, making up their own policies
concerning deliveries, payments, sales, warehousing; literally every
business philosophy can be determined independently.  Albeit, AMWAY has a
Code of Ethics which each distributor is expected to follow, but it has
allowed each of its million distributorships (that's world-wide by the way,
not U.S. only) to determine pretty much everything else.  A company that
has been in business for over 25 years, has surpassed the $ Billion/year
income, has produced scores of millionaires, provides a superb product of
unimpeachable guarantee is definitely not a sham.  I could provide you a
list of top-notch qualities, among them a teaching system that is unsur-
passed, but space and time won't allow.

If you'd like more information on AMWAY--it's philosophy, people, potential,
etc. I suggest you read "The Possible Dream" or "Uncommon Freedom" both
written by Paul Conn, who is NOT an AMWAY distributor but rather a college
professor and motivational speaker to groups across the country.  Should
you desire a more personal approach, I should be happy to provide more
practical information for your benefit.  Feel free to contact me.
