Tony DiBona dove into the cryptic world of multi-level marketing looking for his little slice of the American dream. What he found was more than he bargained for, as simple accomplishments morphed into self-indulgent excess and capitalistic intentions slowly became major criminal activities. Tony came of age in the age of greed as he sifted through the ashes of his life and the lives of others. What was most surprising to Tony were the choices people made after all of the lies and falsehoods came to the surface. It took Tony decades to understand the lessons, but every answer seemed to carry the seeds of another question.

This story nabbed me right from the start. I couldn't put it down. Joe Buzzello has written a great story of life.
From taking business calls from a payphone in a lowdown doughnut shop to success.
Just placing a few of my favorite episodes of the book should be enough to make anybody want to read this.
"“I wrangled you a meeting with him. Here’s his home address,” he said, handing me a note. “Be there on Friday at 2: 00 PM. Wear a suit and tie. Don’t be late.” I laid the piece of scrap paper next to my list of failed appointment attempts and mustered up a sarcastic question: “Is this BYOB or will this guy have some cold beers set up for us?” Rex’s eyes narrowed. “Suit and tie,” he repeated. I mumbled, “Thanks” as he hurried back to his desk."
"I was well into Diamond qualification, pushing forward. Our income was growing; yet, the money and the next level had lost most of its significance to me."
"I never realized how much I relied on Annie until she was gone. I understood her motivation—Ken took advantage of her, just like he took advantage of me. I guess it was time I listened to the advice of her father: It was time for me to take care of my own business. Still looking for answers, I had one more stop to make."
3 amigos, tres hombres or the 3 stooges ? Who knows....
I can't give you the ending because I haven't got there yet but I had to give a great review of this story. If you like autobiography with a sense of selflessness . Then this is a great read. ''''

I joined Amway in 1982 as part of a down line that started encouraging building depth for your down line after your 1st 6 direct dl and stressing no need to sell, just use your own products for your minimums. The up line biggies also stressed using their own tapes, etc instead of the company's and held frequent conferences with a cash at the door entry. Sound familiar?

In 1982 I joined the biggest MLM company 3 levels downline from a biggie that encouraged everyone to place people under their own 6 down line building depth, not width. They also leaned heavily on promoting meeting minimums thru personal use instead of RETAIL. Big events were frequent with cash entry at the door.

I left the company after moving to another state but eventually heard the biggies left the company under a cloud, but were heavily involved in transferring their down line to a MLM water co. That was the last I heard.

The only reason I gave this book 4 rather than 5 stars is that the author made the characters so interesting, I would've liked to know even more about what made them tick. Entertaining read!

5.0 out of 5 stars Transparent and Honest, A Remarkable Story! Wow!!
Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2015

This is unbelievable! I normally don't like reading fiction, but was told this was a story based loosely on true events. Thinking it'd be just another story, I picked up the book and quite frankly got hooked! The story takes place during the '80's in the dry San Fernando Valley. Tony, a half baked insurance salesman, meets up with a few characters that introduces him into the world of a MLM, where he and his new found friends quickly rise in rank. The initial success whets their appetites for more and as Tony becomes more successful, the dark side of the MLM business is revealed. With greed at full throttle, the mirage of the gold and glitter overtakes, and before one knows it, with promises of wealth and more money, people are lured into real estate investments, the lust fanning the fuel of the new found rich, or those hoping to be. Enter, Ponzi scheme.

For you've ever worked in sales, a MLM business and/or real estate, it's truly eye opening. Joe Buzzello has written this with the authenticity and transparency of one who's been there. It is this quality that keeps you hooked. Truly unbelievable! It makes for a good read!

Tony DiBona was "That Guy;" the one single young man to prove to all the others that they, too, could be fabulously successful in the world of multi-level marketing, building a "downline" that would produce beyond his wildest dreams and make him the favorite of Ken Richman and the other "Pins" of AmericanMade. But unseen to the others, while Tony worked hard and could fire up a room with his oratory skills, being part of the "in" crowd carried serious drawbacks, such as being so close to the man at the top of the pyramid, he lost perspective and even control over his own life. Whom he could, and couldn't marry, how to spend his good fortune all had to meet with the approval of the boss. Eventually, the gig is up, the chips fall where they will and Tony has to choose whether or not to let betrayal and loss get the better of him, as do the other characters. Intriguing!

I had no idea what I was in for when I began this book. I figured it would be another rags to riches story with a few twists to keep the reader involved. What I found was an amazing story with heart. As you follow the characters through the greed and excess of Los Angeles in the 80's, you are happy that the poor guy from The San Fernando Valley becomes a successful leader of a multi-level marketing team, until the dark side of success comes knocking at his door. I couldn't put the book down. Buzzello tells the story with heart and hutzpah that has been lacking in literature. I couldn't help but think every young person entering his career could learn a thing or two from this book.

Assume this was therapy for the author. Very sad story. I should have believed other reviews that indicated too much detail on how mlm works. (And next to nothing on law) But clear message for readers: stay away from these schemes. I've seen family members get sucked into the pressures they present while touting Christian values.

A quite interesting and thinly veiled account of the operations of a company we have all had interaction with. Is this how it really was/is? Well worth a read.
