re: Amway and other multi-level marketing/pyramid schemes

One of my best friends in HS/early college had parents who were HUGE into Amway. They always called it "the busienss." He got into it as well. But they were from Clinton and had access to a lot of, for lack of a better word, uneducated people who completely bought into the system. He always talked a big game about the money they mad, but from what I understand, his parents actually retired pretty early on with Amway's help.
No idea how successful at it they actually were, but IMO if you have access to a solid pool of gullbile people, you can prolly make some money from it. I do want to shake my head every time I see someone pimping Visalus or LIMU or any of the other pyramid bullshite things that come across my FB feed.

That's what my parents and uncle always called it too, "The Business".
I still remember the basic lingo from Amway
"The Business"
"Show the Plan"
"Go Diamond"
My uncle still calls it "The Business". He called me a month ago saying "Hey, I am going to be up in Dallas because we have a convention for The Business"
I still remember when I was about 7 or 8 and my dad was about to leave to go to an Amway Convention in some other state. My mom had me and my sisters run up to him and scream "Daddy Go Diamond!" before he drove off. Kind of sad that I think about it.

I think we are thinking of the same friend.
Are his initials JH?
