No Hype - a Good Overview

After reading some of the reviews, had to make a more brief comment:I own the book, I like the book, I'm and IBO... yet, I think some of the 5-star reviews are over-rated. (There are 'better' Quixtar books published that warrant 5 stars.) - - Even though (now) this book is dated, I'd still...

I don't need to read the book I lived it!

Well, it is quite funny to read all these reviews and I thought I would put my 2 cents in. Quixtar is not Amway unless your a negitive uniformed idiot, businesses change over time. Most of the negative reviews are from people who did not work the business properly, and or could have been in a bad...

i'm so tired of this

i'm so tired of hearing people knock quixtar. first off if you create a cd do you not want to sell it? if that cd can reach someone who is on the fence is it not worth promoting? i personally got involved after i heard a cd, doesn't that make it possible that you may eventually buy a cd that...

Making your own way by listening to the right people

Great book for the average person with the desire and intelligence to create their own future but lack the large financial resources generally needed to break into the business owner world. If I had listened to the quitters and detractors I wouldn't be headed for the life I've always wanted. When...

An Interesting Read

The book was interesting, to say the least, for anyone involved or thinking about becoming involved with the Quixtar business. Lots of insight and background on the business startup in 1999.In reading some of the other "book reviews" entered on Amazon[.com], I find it amazing how the writer...

Amway by any other name (Quixtar) is still Amway

Although well written, there is deception in the build-up of ths "new" company, when it is Amway repackaged. Not LIKE Amway. Quixtar IS Amway. Just tell the truth, guys--their reputation had become so bad by deceiving people into attending meetings thinking they were going out to dinner, or...

Unfortunate Bias

I was in Amway for five years and I showed "the plan" almost every week and barely reached 1000PV when my upline encouraged me to buy the remaining 200PV to reach my goal. Although the books and tapes Amway pushes are very motivational and really helped me with my marriage and career, we spent...

Before You Continue. . .

I have noticed a common theme among the other reviews here. Almost everyone that gives a bad review here seems to call Amway, Quixtar, or both, a cult. By my definition, a cult is a group of ppl that belive something blindly without researching the truth. The only cult I see here consists of...

Quixtar 's breaking records on the way to #1

Pro-Quixtar bias so what! The book is well done, I couldn't put it down. Lets see, the most successful launch in Internet history, assumed a dominant position in just a 1 1/2 years. 518 million dollars the 1st year and on track to do well over a billion the 2nd year. 1/3 of that is paid to the...

This book rocks!!!!

This book is incredibly well-written! And there are STILL skeptics (A.K.A. Napster freeloaders) who think that it's wrong for people to make money from duplicated efforts and from books, tapes and seminars. Isn't that the reason why we're Americans? To make money from things we create? I am...
