Hi, sad to hear that. However were u from AMWAY Singapore?
Firstly, AMWAY Singapore opened in Apr 2002 thus 2001 it was not in
Singapore yet.
Also, it's marketing plan is prob one of the most comprehensive in
the market, it covers a lot of aspects and if you can build it
well, it will be a stable business. Thus, I would say it is not
difficult or easy, but how you look at it. 
No matter how I look left look right compare prices etc, I fail to
see why the products are expensive. I only see more economical
quality products which help me to save money since I am getting
those anyway, and getting a better product is definitely better.

However, a lot research have to be done to truly understand the
business of course 
Cheers
