Why is Amway Global a Legitimate Business?
Amway Global is a 50+year-old company and has created billions of dollars in revenue. Rich Devos and Jay Van Andel had the vision to be successful and have made millions of people financially independent. Many people, though, have their own views and are very negative of the opportunity. Many people have claimed it to be a chain business, pyramid scheme, or just a sales business. I have worked with people who are in Amway and attended business conferences which have told me otherwise. In this article, I'm going to discuss why this is a legitimate business and those who talk nonsense about it don't know anything about the business opportunity.

Why Buy Handmade
Buying handmade products is a great idea. Here's why. 1. Handmade products are made with love, care, and attention. Handmade business owners put a lot of work into their products. They pay close attention to details because they want their customers to love their products. When you buy a handmade product, you can rest assured that the maker put their best foot forward because they are passionate about what they do. You will be receiving a high-quality product that was made with customer satisfaction in mind. Human beings put a lot more care into what they make than machines do, and this care shows in the product you receive.

Make It Close and Personal
Millennials have a very particular approach to what they like to buy and how they do so. We're talking about a generation shaped by the rise of the Internet and the economic crisis: as saving money becomes a decisive factor in decision-making, a one-size-fits-all approach is not perceived as acceptable. Tiered pricing is only the tip of the iceberg, a good start, when it comes to addressing the need and desire for personalization.

The Manager's Mistake
Managers are, in fact, leaders and should focus first on leading their crew and staff before managing their business. As a former US Army JROTC cadet, I was taught how to lead and how to optimize the resource of manpower. Of course, in my current career of business management, managers often forget to lead their staff and instead focus on the business aspects; profits, marketing, and inventory management.

A Vague Business Concept
Have you ever put together IKEA furniture? Well, I have. It is as much complicated as it is fun. There is this pile of boxes, instructions, and images. You attach little pieces one-by-one going step-by-step. And, if you do everything correctly, those little pieces become a household appliance that will be a very good use to you. On the contrary, if you do it wrong, you will have to break down all those pieces apart like jenga woods and go to step one, tail chase.
