During the pandemic alot of people experience job losses including myself. I was doing it tough due to lack of finances. So I was in the looking zone and someone randomly approached me on LinkedIn talking about entrepreneurship, mentorship, passive income, mindset and cash flow quadrants.

I ended up meeting with them on zoom and they claimed to be retired from work at age 21 which made me more intrigue. They gave me a book by Robert Kiyosaki Business of the 21st Century and a audio to listen to prosumer power. Long story short I ended up going through the selection process, even though my process went on for like 3months. I eventually launched and stayed in the business for 4 years.

If you're currently going through the selection process and you're reading horror stories on reddit, you're right. They are very shifty and don't even want to answer simple questions like "how is the profits generated and shared to the upline but never to downline". They will isolate you from anyone who is not affiliated with Team1global. Also manipulate you to increase monthly volume to buy more products so they can profit in their pockets. They are bunch of Am-bots that look down on anyone who doesnt get involve in this cult, they have destroyed people's marriages, friendships and most of all burn through your wallet on spending overprice tickets and conferences.

They often lie and say that there is limited space so it creates a sense of urgency so it would speed up there process to get them to launch, they lie that they're super busy doing mg1, mg2 and mentoring people.

I've asked them is this a legal entity that is registered with the ATO and how much tax is to be paid when start making money and they couldn't even answer a simple question which is a red flag because you dont want to get done for tax evasion.

There were some good experiences that I'm grateful for which is the self development side of things. I've learnt to set goals and being consistent and it's helped me with my fitness journey.

The cult leader mentors often say "become a product of Team1global " if you want to be successful.

I'm a grown man that likes to read and I was sharing with my upline coach that I was reading a book called "Can't hurt me by David Goggins" and they said I shouldn't be reading books thats not from Team1global business.

Anyways thats my story. Feel free to reach out to me if you're currently doing through the selection process.

I joined Amway a few months ago with the help of an LTD member. I enjoy the Amway products and the large majority of the people I’ve sold to love the products and keep ordering them. Now LTD media is the most obvious scam/ brainwashing I’ve ever seen. I attended one conference and attended their big event(summit) now free of charge within 1 year of joining. I wanted to see with my own eyes what’s going on and my god lol.No mention of Larry winters deceiving people it’s just this big elephant in the room. The hotel kickbacks for the big guys, commission for the speakers, tickets sales, etc. I actually asked someone there about Larry and you would have thought I said want to do meth in the bathroom. One dude was on stage hollering about listen to the audios that I’m in.

Just wanted to point out that in my time being in Amway it was a massive flex to say that the FTC approves everything Amway does. I wonder what they have to say now considering the FTC has called out on every manipulative behaviour I experienced years ago 🤔😆
