vluu….be careful…there really are some people out there who REALLY do care about other people. And yes we are all in it for the money…in almost everything we do….its just the honesty in how you get the money thats really important.
Amway…as I said a legitimate way of making money if you are prepared to do it “their way” BUT…and this is the big banana as they say….you must have Upline ( or peers) who are blatently honest with you in ALL aspects of the business. I now owe the ATO $7 1/2 grand through wrong advice by a)my peers, b)the suposedly equiped and impartial accountant ( who was actually in the business)and c) uninformed collegues (sp?).
Now the property thing was another kettle of fish.
I was taken on as a trainee to be a “property advisor”. HAHA BLOODY HA!
I was in fact just a telemaketer getting bites for a scam man. I would love to name this pr#ck but defamatiuon laws would have me for dinner I sure! I was told that I would do my time phoneing people for interviews to see if they could afford to buy an investment property then after I had a decent “hit” rate I would be trained to sell the properties etc etc. This never happened and my so called commission for finding the hits never ever came to me after 6 weeks solid work. Yes mate when they settle youll get paid $200 per sale. Yeah right.He owes me quite a bit !!! Brett G …if I EVER find you I’ll thro…[!][xx(][!][xx(][][][xx(][xx(]…. no must not go to the dark side…. ARGH…flash backs….. must have sedative!
Phew…getting a bit worked up there.
suffice to say I am very very wary about everything now. I even felt dirty buying the 0 to 130 book. But as I had an insight into this before I bought it I was pleasently supprised that it confirmed my own thoughts and proved that yes it was possible….but the book leaves a lot to be deserd as a real show mw how…but I would recomend it to someone who has not invested or have any idea about +ve csh flow.
My only advice to everyone is research research research EVERYTHING you are told and then double check it with an independant person.
Let me just say I was burnt by two legitimate opourtunities but was badly lied to and taken for a HUGE ride by one and was just basically lied to by the other.
a) property investment advisor
b) AMWAY
Have a guess which one I was lied to and which one I was taken for a huge (and expensive) ride.
AMWAY – a very legitimate way of making money if you are not blatently lied to in regards ahhh gotta go will continue this later.
Having just read the book a few days ago and having a brother in law who is so focused on -ve gearing I can see a fantastic new future.
This future is , for me at least, a lot more important and less personal as I now have a little kiddie on the way!! WOOOHOOO!!! BUT I WANT TO BE A REAL FATHER WHO IS THERE!!! and I can see this as being the vehicle to get me there.
Love Life and Joy to all of you and my your properties give you the choices that help lead you to happiness.
Just to let you know that townsville had sold out of your book on thursday…I got the last one …literally!!!! I rang EVERY bookshop in the city and I only found ONE left! I hope that your royalties continue to flow in the manner that my future income will flow from this type of investment.

Aussierouge….I also have a little one on the way…..and I also have a very financially conservative partner whereas I am a little more open. Would love to “chat” to you about this.
is is against the rules to give out email addresses on the forum?
I also have concerns about the validity of the fhog and renting it out …will have to research this in greater detail out of work time I think.
