Thanks so much for sharing your story! I was recently approached by someone I met in a training course who told me that he was being mentored by a group of successful business people to have financial freedom and earn passive income. But he didn't mention Amway at all and what they are actually doing to achieve that. I was curious and wanted to meet his mentor.
So we had a few meetings and I attended one of their group sessions as well, in which there were about 200+ people. To be honest, their approach in self-development and the books/resources they recommended were quite useful and I found that aspect sensible.
But after attending a few sessions as a part of the recruitment process I decided to step back and do a bit of research and reflect on how my life would look like if I proceed with them. This content is one of the rare ones I found useful but I had already told them that I don't want to continue with the process. Because although I think people in the group have the right mindset in terms of personal growth, financial freedom, and business, the problem with Amway is that the focus is always on recruiting new people, which in itself provides no value to anyone at all. You either promote products of a company in a similar fashion to a salesperson or trying to convince people to join you to do the same so it's a kind of self-fulfilling prophecy where no one is creating any value but because of the involvement and the investment that is being done by the followers there's a movement.
And also I had some conversations before with people who were in similar businesses and the problem with them is that you can never be sure if they're genuinely interested in getting to know and connect with you or if they're trying to recruit you into their business. So I didn't want to turn into one of those people. In general, I think the mindset is right but the area they apply that mindset is not so much.
