Perhaps we'll look at them in future ones. The topic here is the self-development process and that's the thing I believe is the most important. Now the other issue raised was the sponsorship line earning money off of that. Just to be clear, I haven't made a penny off of that or events. I earn my money from my bonus check. But remember that prosperity is a value-for-value exchange. And when people do the work and provide the materials, and handle the marketing and distribution of them, I'm not opposed to them being compensated for that. The real issue in my eyes in when the "add on" income is more than the primary one, which as we know, is sometimes the case. -RG I notice that several of you raise the issues of religion, how woman are treated, etc. I don’t necessarily agree with the way some of these organizations handle these areas, but that is not really the focus of this post.

To me, it's a "no brainer" if you want to be successful. I've been in sales for 28 years and every year I attend a sales seminar. This year I'm leaning towards Jefferey Gitomer's Sales Boot Camp. I have a life coach, am always reading books, etc. There's no better investment than to invest in yourself. JL I’ve always been a supporter of personal development.

Some leaders in Amway are making money off their downlines. I think Randy made a comment about sales people & NLP people making money off networkmarketing people because of our nature to learn. The same can be said about some Amway leaders. My boss have been involved in Amway for about 5 years now and I noticed that my colleagues have to buy some sort of recruiting tool or other Amway related items (ie flip charts) after every major meetings - and they are not interested in the business anyway. (They just have to sign up and buy). These recruitment tool don't even fit the criteria of being duplicable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ot31XhgE_XE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgnvMfDu47c Yes Rachel Henke I agree some/most uplines do not know what they are doing. My boss is one example. He and his upline treats the business as a sales and convincing business. My former sponsor is another, he only know bits and pieces of what Tim Sales taught and adds his own thing to fill in the gaps. I have come to the conclusion that we need to have Randy's system as the framework. Then learn other relevant skills from others like Big Al, Tim Sales etc in addition to what Randy taught NOT INSTEAD of. I tend to agree with Enrique.
