I have recently become involved with the Amway/Network 21 MLM concept. I am normally a very sceptical person, so I only joined after thorough investigation from my side. I'm in the IT industry and I have a systems-oriented mindset, so I can look at anything logically and unemotionally. And to me this seems like a concept that has no possibility of failure - but I agree that MLM is not for everyone and not everyone will see it in the same light as me.

But now I'm getting funny remarks from people when they find out that I'm involved with Amway. Seems they all know somebody who lost huge amounts of money with this concept. To me that just sounds absurd. So - I'd like to hear from people out there who are / were PERSONALLY involved with Amway/Network 21. Be it good or bad. I do not want to hear about someone's cousin's neighbour 3 houses down who lost a few grand because he bought a bakkie-load of washing powder that he couldn't sell.
