Business is all about people and relationships and the Amway business is no different except the fact that the people you associate with are there to help you become successful as this book demonstrates. This fact has been proven thousands of times over all around the world. If you are considering this business as a vehicle to acheive financial freedom, take the time to seriously investigate, do your homework, and just do it! You won't regret it.

anyone who does not understand this book does not understand network marketing. this book really goes into the depths of amway and brings out the truth about it and anyone who knocks this book does or has not read it at all. the author really researched his subject and has given knowledge to the reader.

Undoubtedly a thorough evaluation of a company that has the ability, by its very nature, to bring Free Enterprise to anyone with a dream and the desire almost anywhere in the world. The fact that the author is an objective "outsider" anchors the believability of this phenomenal business success story. As Amway continues to refine its business and application of technology, it will without a doubt become an American (if not global) icon. For the disbelievers - check out Chapter 10. Amway a "cult"? If only more Americans would join this "cult", this would be a better, happier nation. The emphasis placed on Family Values far exceeds that of any corporation in America today - bar none!

This book is truly an independant look at Amway by a highly respected individual. The author of this book has writtin five other books before Empire of Freedom. The topics on his other books have included business communications, politcis and even commercial opportunities in Vietnam. In the 1980's he developed an internatiol business plan for California by request of the governor!Not only is this book written by a highly respected individual, it also has a foreword by the President of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce! He states about the book, "It's a remarkable story, remarkably told, a story of common people achieving uncommon things every day and, in the process, changing the world for the better."To those people looking for insight into Amway corp.'s marketing concepts, don't buy this book. This book is about the Amway goal and dream, and how it has affected so many poeple in a positive way. It doesn't go into detail about the marketing plan, and it ! wasn't intended to. The book is about the Amway story (as stated in the title), not the marketing plan.I highly recommend this book!

I decided to read this book when a friend of mine got into the Amway business. I thought it was a mistake because rumours told me it was a door to door soap selling cult!Much to my surprise, this book told a story of a multi-billion dollar, debt free, global business empire. that opened my eyes and my mind for that matter. As I read on, it told incredible stories of average people doing above average things and creating multi-million dollar enterprises of their own and positivley impacting peoples lives. I found myself getting excited and I couldn't put this book down! There is a chapter in the book that answers questions from skeptics like myself, and after reading that I felt like an ignorant fool for believing the lies I heard for many years. After further investigation, I went into business with my friend and we are well on our way to creating a global empire of our own. I can highley recommend this book to anyone investigating this business because it paints an accurate, inspirational picture of an opportunity rich growth industry for decades to come.

Great information. great book. Helps understand more the idea of freedom noe a days.Thank you for this. Freedom us a beautiful thing, but it isn't free. Work hard. play hard.

Great condition! Looks like it's never been read brand new, too good information for it to be unread..either way I'm enjoying it and profiting big time!
