It was founded in 1990 by Jim and Nancy Dornan, distributors with Amway, originally to support their Amway network in the United States and Australia. Through Network Twentyone those towards the top of the pyramid have the opportunity to create and promote motivational courses and literature directed at the lower tiers and aimed at encouraging them to recruit more members and thus to extend further the base of the pyramid. This material is known as Business Support Material (or "BSM"). The promotion of BSM to the captive market represented by the lower levels of the pyramid providing the IBOs ("Independent Business Owners") at the top with an additional and independent source of income to that derived from bonus payments arising from the sales generated by the lower levels of the organisation. The income of those who are at the top of the pyramid is derived substantially from the sales efforts of several or perhaps many levels of IBOs below them Network TwentyOne operates in more than 35 countries and is considered one of the largest Amway related organisations in the world.In 2007, the UK Government Department of Trade and industry petitioned to ban Network 21 and Amway with the complaint of "distributors more focused on selling their motivational books, tapes and seminars to salespeople than peddling Amway merchandise". The petitions were later dismissed after major reforms to fix company faults were made.In 1997 the organisation was the focus of a controversial Polish documentary, Witajcie w życiu! (Welcome to life!)."@en }
