Please accept my apologies for the slowness of the blog. For the past week, my wife and I have been on a family vacation. We had a wonderful time on our holiday in the South Pacific, and we will be arranging our next vacation in the near future. Currently, it appears that Japan or Korea will be our next stop later in the year. Moreover, guess what? The fact that we could afford and take time off to go on these exotic vacations was not a result of our affiliation with Amway. Eventually, I'll be back to blogging frequently, but I wanted to provide an update to my followers so they don't assume I've abandoned the blog and "walked away" like Amway diamonds have (LOL).
I may write some articles about Herbalife in the near future, since they are based on the company I founded, however Herbalife is currently under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission for operating an illegal pyramid system. The problem, in my opinion, is that the Federal Trade Commission lacks a precise definition of a pyramid scheme, leaving it to the courts to make decisions based on previous cases as precedent.
I expect that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will require fundamental modifications to multilevel marketing, including an easy way to distinguish between a pyramid scam and a lawful and legitimate firm. It appears that MLM is littered with frauds such as Vemma, and that nothing is done to stop them until it is too late and the harm has been done to the network. That is one of the advantages of multi-level marketing. They can violate and be prosecuted for years and years after the fact, when it is too late to enact meaningful reforms or provide recompense to the victims of their actions. Perhaps the FTC's lawsuit against Herbalife will bring about change. If that is not the case, I intend to continue the struggle.

"Joecool Irks," an unidentified Canadian Amway enthusiast who made headlines a few years ago for his aggressive and combative attitude to promoting the business, is one of the most divisive individuals in the Amway industry. Joecool Irks is considered by many to be an Amway zealot. Joecool is making waves once more despite the fact that it has been denounced by the corporate leadership of Amway and has been the source of controversy within the community.
After taking a break from the Amway scene for a little while, Joecool came roaring back with a fury and launched a whole new YouTube channel as well as social media profiles to spread his message. He began by publishing a number of videos in which he provided new Amway representatives with guidance and instruction, detailing his strategies for attaining success as well as his own individual path within the company.
Others were pleased to see Joecool back in action, despite the fact that some people viewed his return with skepticism. His supporters praised him for his enthusiasm and his unwavering devotion to Amway, but his adversaries accused him of being a divisive figure who only generated strife within the community. His followers complimented him for his passion and his steadfast commitment to Amway.
In typical Joecool manner, he responded to his detractors by uploading a video in which he addressed the issue that surrounded him and justified his approach to marketing Amway. He said that his tactics were essential in order to fight the negative view that many people have of the business, and that he was merely trying to assist others reach the success that he had found via Amway. He said this in order to counter the fact that many people have a poor perception of the business.
In spite of the turmoil that has surrounded him, Joecool's influence inside the Amway community is not something that can be ignored. His films have been viewed tens of thousands of times, and the accounts he maintains on several social media platforms have thousands of followers each. He stays on the road, going from city to city in the United States to participate in Amway events and interact with other distributors so he may spread his message.
On the other hand, Joecool's return has not been welcomed by all of his fans. There is a school of thought within the Amway community that sees him as a polarizing figure who is solely responsible for creating conflict and tarnishing the reputation of the company. They contend that his aggressive strategies are unwarranted and that they cause more harm than good when it comes to promoting Amway products.
Regardless of how one feels about Joecool, it cannot be denied that he is a significant player in the Amway community and should be treated as such. There is no denying his enthusiasm and commitment to the company, and regardless of whether or not one agrees with the strategies he employs, there is no denying the fact that he has left his mark on the Amway business world. What Joecool's future holds for him and his continued involvement in the firm can only be revealed by the passage of time.
