I can to a degree.  I would stop by and give interested people some 
information and tapes.  Or sign them up for a meeting.  Again, it's very
difficult to do over the phone or email.  It is a business plan after all.>

I seemed to make a big mistake in this.  Indeed, I am trying to hide 
something.  It is most efficent when I can tell people in person or
at least drop some literature and tapes off.  Yes, I probally should have
posted the name.  It was a sorta judgement call on my part, and I judged
wrong overall.

Still, I do believe it is a good business to get into if you are interested.
I'll post now that it uses a "ladder" scheme.  For those that don't know about
it, and for those that are misinformed, there are a few things to note...

ONE... it is perfectly LEGIT in 44 countries (including US and CANADA).
TWO... it is based around the fact that you get 1% of a 100 peoples work
	instead of 100% of your own work.  This is an example, not how
	it works for this system.

Most of the people who do not believe it works, have never tried it with
any degree of effort, or at all infact.  They've heard maybe one or two
things from friends about it (most likely not true, and most likely never
about Amway) and decide to judge it by that.  Completely stupid to do so,
and any Psychologist will tell you that basing decisions upon this is
unreliable and most likely wrong.

Degrees of success vary with amount of time invested.  I have not invested
much time, but manage to pay off my utilities with it.  My sponsor is doing
this full time and living nicely.  My sponsors sponsor is making about 60,000
a year, and his income is rising by 10-25 thousand a year.  He's only been in
it for 2 years.

Remember, this is not a get rich quick scheme.  It's a business, and you
have to put time and effort into it.  If this sounds confusing to you, come
out to a meeting.  You can't sign or buy anything at one, it's just there
so that you can learn a bit about what is going on, and can have a personal
discussion with a sponsor.  There is also more people there, so that if you
miss something, most likely one of them will pick it up.

IF your interested, give me a call at 725-4461 or EMAIL me.  I'll try my
best to answer questions, but if it something like "send me some info" then
I'd like to get in contact with you to either: set up a meeting or drop off
some information and tapes.
