Eyeopening
Ms. Carter truly has hit the nail on the head with this book. I have also read "The Quixtar Revolution". Most things she talks about in the book I have personally encountered. Meetings, tapes, pep talks, rallys etc.We had some friends that we lost touch with a couple of years ago. And suddenly we get a call telling us that they have found this great business opportunity. "Can we get together and show you the "PLAN". Needless to say, we joined. I have decided that some of the products aren't too bad, but I can't NOT tell people that the company is affiliated with Amway. Which is what our 'up-line' told me to do. And I really don't want to have people avoid me because of "The Business". I recommend that anyone thinking of joining ANY MLM scheme should read Ms. Carter's book.

Amway-The side not publicaly known
The book is an great review of what I have also found to be true in Amway. The real money is in selling the motivational and training system to dream hungry distributors who THINK the key to riches is in the Amway products business. Don Lorencz, a Diamond distributor from Canada, confirms on his site that 80% of a dimaonds income is from his side business ot tapes, books and seminars, and 20% if actually from the Amway products business.Anyone who has been in Amway should look around and see how much money they and their downline pumped into the "system", and then they might realize the real money is not in Amway product but selling the "Amway business system".
Read the book or live in a sheltered world.

Look at yourself in the mirror
This book is a far cry from what the title portrays.
A poor written book where the author tries to convict a business model for her failures.
I am not saying there is no truth in the book, but save your money and invest it in something more credible.
This book did not answer any questions for me. I suggest getting
information about any business from the people that are successful in that particular business. Similar Products
