- Amway said what about WWDB? Today's video is about the basics of Worldwide Dream Builders. We will go over what WWDB is, Who started the company, what products they sell, the cost to launch your wwdb/amway business, and income disclosures. Worldwide Dream Builders frustrates me so much and this frustrates you as well!

if you have to pay a monthly subscription fee, you are a customer and not an employee... or in this case a distributor
I've been around the organization for about 4 years, and its changed a lot. They're a lot more up front about things than they used to be, especially incomes.
If you're going to join, make sure you get in with the right people. If someone's being shady or weird or arrogant, even about this, drop them. There are plenty of people building it who have huge hearts and genuinely want to help. Those are the ones you want to join with.
Its a difficult business to be in, and anyone making it sound easy or like its a free lunch you want to be cautious with. Its hard work.
So..........how much money are you making? because 4 years is a long time for a "business establishing" especially selling for company worth over 9 billion and debt free...
or is it your fault that you are not doing enough, not putting enough time, not training enough etc...etc...oh my personal favorite when Amway people make fun of 9-5 people but can't even offer your employees/"business creators" a basic health insurance, or pay the taxes which you can be penalized for if not paid quarterly....
Amway is 9 billion dollars and debt free is because most of the debt is incurred by the distributors buying the products themselves on top of paying yearly membership.....
@@AD-uh2ky Got me there. I also have a gym I never work out at, which I'm now realizing is the gym's fault as well. Thanks. Sorry I entered the conversation. It won't happen again.
True. I learned a lot while I was there.. some of the most wonderful ppl too. I still keep in touch. W/o them I wouldn’t be who I am now.
I run my own business now.
@@AD-uh2ky at the same time though in what line of any entrepreneurship do you have health insurance that you don't have to pay for yourself? That's not a fair criticism
I appreciate you sharing this. I am on the fence, but feel there is something they are hiding. This definitely helped laying out what I am looking at.
Did you manage to find out?
I left, I am focusing on other business ventures. More specifically digital marketing. Be warned, because the people who invite you to this Amway will cut you off. They definitely have a cult like mentality. I wish you best of luck in a real business opportunity.
Depending on who your state and who your recruiters are, there's a different game for each group.
I started at the beginning of Covid so I haven't had to go to any big meetings, lucky me. And my training line is called URA.
Thank you chica… This answered questions I had. Not going to do the zoom call tomorrow. Keep doing what your doing:)
😂😂😂😂😂
what are you doing now?
Amway e un attività seria. Purtroppo ci sono molti imbroglioni che si infiltrano nella rete distributiva di Amway per far credere che sia piramidale. Tutte balle, lascia perdere quello che dice questa ragazza perché non si può giudicare questa attività in 6 mesi..
i made it to the 3rd meeting and after seeing this i better off drop shipping and selling on ebay like i have been doing and i find it weird when the one guy told me they do marketing for apple, nike and so on and when looking at the video its different
Literally! Dropshipping is WAY better. You’re in complete control and can go by your budget completely. No recruiting, no time wasted, no manipulation.
Thank you so much for this video. I almost join them yesterday but my gut instinct said NO! Thank you
SAME my inner intuition told me no when I got a weird vibe
If you guys actually believe what she is saying, you probably would not do very well.
Really you lose an amazing opportunity. Don’t listen losers.
@@sheisgood123 lol so your 0
0003 mhhhh
This is not for losers!!, this is for ppl, that won’t settle for mediocrity!!
It’s not a business of your own if you are the mercy, censorship, and under control of amway or worldwide. Reach a certain pin and you will be censored on what you say and do and judged as well. A true business owner is just that the full owner and can do as he/she pleases with no one and I mean nobody telling them otherwise expect for the law!
Thanks my cousin is really into this saying "keep trying you can make it" I've spent 600 n spent alot of time recruiting is way to much especially now days thanks
How did you spend 200$?
Very informative video. We all thank you.
I just subscribed. I started my channel 4 months ago. I’m almost at 1000 subscribers. Keep doing what you’re doing. If I might suggest something, get a ring light and put some design work into your background. Another thing that really helps watch time is B-role. You’re very articulate and the content is intriguing. Keep going!
Thank you so much for the tips!!! It truly means so much that you took the time to give me pointers! 💚 I added a back drop and some more lighting in my next video. B-role is something I have to learn and practice, soon will be incorporating it. I subscribed to your channel and can’t wait to binge watch your videos. As a 5’2” shorty, I’m super interested in seeing your videos 🤗 Congratulations on the growth of your channel!!!! 💚
Thank you for this series of breakdowns, because I was able to send her your videos last night to prove to her my point of how this bs really works. Amazing job! You are helping so many people to see what's really happening. A lot of people are desperate right now, and they are reaching out to thousands of people during this pandemic. Taking advantage of people's vulnerability is a disgrace.
I have a really good friend who got me to come to some meetings and I was earning a mentorship but I had a newborn and a lot going on so I didn’t continue. Thank goodness!!!! I feel like my friend would be offended if I tried to help her see the bigger picture. It’s really sad how many ppl Lose so much to these mlms
At least you're honest it's a business there going to be some winds and some losses that's how the business world works
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I had someone approach me about this. The gal seemed very nice. She asked me to read this book in like 3 days. Then met up with me a few times. Had me join some zoom meets and a live event by this guy Trevor Baker. I guess he is the big cheese or something. I liked some of the material she shared yet I was always on alert of what all this really was. Watching your video helps me see that I made the right choice. Thank you for talking openly about this. They are very secretive and only give you information in pieces as to keep stringing you along for the expectancy of something magical. I really do appreciate your honesty.
this is actually happening to me right now, after my 2nd zoom session with a "mentor" who's the older brother of an acquaintance of mine (I have a mutual friend I met the acquaintance through), he gave me enough information to look up everything online; I had thought everything was too good to be true and I was right. This is such a scam. He talked about start up fees and that where I crossed the line and also making commissions on every new person you get to join... Yeah.
Multilevel Marketers: "Haters are just jealous of your success and that you're taking action in your life. Anybody who is a hater is just a sad person with no propects"
Also Multilevel Marketers: *110 Dislikes on a video because a girl is giving an honest review after 6 months of trying the system*
I thought y'all were too busy cashing checks to care what the "haters" have to say?? How'd you find time to watch this video and get worked up over an honest review? Sounds like you do care what the haters have to say...
Should never mention what was it like to recruit people somebody must have talked her and her husband out of the business it takes money to she also probably had a small group of people not give it time to grow
It's the same thing as going to college you got to pay your intuition fee your classes books parking lot is a place of business. And you fell behind your classes and you got to be on probation for six months or a year , probably got to pay for that. And when you graduate you get your degree or your papers for the career that you want but you don't get it.
Good knowledge about the company God bless you more progress
I just really fucking hate that someone pretended to be my friend in the middle of a pandemic just to sell me some shit.
Thanks for your time. Had an acquaintance too interested in saying hello and visiting I sniffed the MLM scent.
This was so helpful! I was just trying to be recruited and bc I don't have a lot of time and patience to go through the "learning " process, I was told that "this is not for everyone " making me feel dumb! Thanks for letting us know what this actually is!
Sbagliato! Amway non è quello che crede o dice questa donna. Lei è stata vittima di impostori che approfittano del marchio Amway per derubare la gente onestà e sincera.Amway non ha segreti e ci sono milioni di persone in Amway che si danno da fare per aiutare altre persone a migliorare la qualità della vita. Se dai retta a questa donna che crede che Amway sia una truffa, ti sbagli di grosso!! Poi dice che Amway è stata fondata negli anni '70...tutto falso. È stata fondata nel 1959 nel Michigan (USA) da Jay Van Andel e Rich De Vos. Due uomini che hanno liberato milioni di persone dalla schiavitù delle attività tradizionali gestite da avidi datori di lavoro dove non danno meritocrazia ai lavoratori..e li sottopagano pure.
We just finished a Zoom conference with a couple that wanted to "help" us be more financially secure. As soon as we got off the line, we googled it and came across your videos. It seemed scammy to me anyway but I wanted the validation. Its too vague and the guy said he works in marketing, which threw me off and that were going to be debt free in 2 years --paying off 100K. Anyway, thank you!
People attempted to recruit us 3 times and only the third couple after the third meeting actually told us the name of the company. Only after did I realize it was so we couldn't google them and find content like this
Be very careful when you listen to ppl who are non successful this is such an entitled video it’s scary. If these ppl partnered with different people and found success do you think they would make a video? People who go to college and put in no effort drop out no degree. You don’t see them making a video of why college is a scam. Ask these people honestly what was your work habit? What type of ppl did you look to partner with? It’s always two sides
THEY ARE A TOTAL SCAM. DO NOT GIVE GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY.
You just not meant to be ❤️
George Kent I understand what you are saying but what is the percentage of people dropping out of college vs the percentage of those who graduate? Have you ever been to a major function such as FED? Take a look at the persons who are eagles and above and are on the floor vs the amount of persons in the nose bleeds. What is the percentage of anyone becoming a diamond? Remember the 1/3,1/3 1/3.
Really well done video Martha! I came across this video when I decided to research this whole Amway MLM thing. I'll share my brief story for any other people trying to understand what this is. I just got approached by a friend from high school asking if I wanted to join his business venture and I said I was open to hearing about it. Keep in mind it was more of an acquaintance, someone I knew existed in high school 10 years ago and thats about it. He reached out to me on facebook. I mostly did it as a friend and to give him benefit of the doubt. I am in no way business savvy or have any kind of background in business. I'm a mechanical engineer that is very content with my job and unfortunately I see how anyone struggling with their career especially in these times could be wrapped into this MLM.
Anyways, he gave me this very vague spiel about being tired of his day job and having kids and wanted to spend his time with them. He did a good job presenting it all. They try to really hit home and reel you in through the use of talking about kids, family, and making money without really working. To be honest I'm just a horrible candidate to be chosen for recruitment because I enjoy my job and the work effort I put in plus the rewards I get from it. I was being polite and said it sounded very interesting and I'll listen to more. Then introduced a friend and gave me a back story of retiring at age 30, which again thats not something I'm interested in but I listened. I agreed to a follow up to see a presentation from this his friend. Long story short they feed you the same lines over and over. They have a presentation designed to make everything look effortless. Things like this shouldn't exist. I am going to politely turn down his recruitment.
Your video really nailed down all the key facts and it was very interesting to watch and listen to so thank you. Glad you made it out of this situation.
Wow honestly, I met this girl randomly in Starbucks and she try to sell me this but she could never tell me what the company was or the business plan was to reaching "financial freedom" or retiring at 30 like her mentors that straight up seem like a GET OUT plot. So I met her three years ago and now she messages me out of the blue and I just wanted to know what this thing was about. I met her own zoom five since and still haven't figured it out til the last meeting and to found out its this so my long story short I asked her, "Are you happy with your choice , can you see yourself doing this long term" Her response straight up did not win me over she didn't believe what she was saying she kept bringing up her mentors being retired at 30, spending time with their daughter and going on trips...blah blah. I asked about you not your mentors. ANYWAYS, PEOPLE JUST DO YOUR RESEARCH AND DON'T FALL FOR EVERYTHING!
My sister got me into it... I never met a more brainwashed set of people in my life... all I remember from a Nuts and Bolts Meeting for I believe Josh and Aspen Baker who are a young couple maybe in their 20s when I last saw them when I was 17... anyways I remember Josh saying, “you have to come to these Board Meetings if you want to make it, I don’t care if your sick grandma is in the hospital... you come to these meetings to become an IBO...” I eventually was happy when my sister stopped bringing me since I started to hate what they stood for... WWDB is just another Pyramid Scheme ploy and promise to have you retire within 5 years... my sister has been with them for I believe more than 5 years and still nothing... not to mention my own brother-in-law since I’m no longer in it decided to tell me, “she won’t get it, she will never be capable of owning her business or having one.” I do believe there are some nice people but they are so brainwashed that this will help them become rich.
Your kid is not brain washed????, have ask for permission to go to the bathroom, go home sick, etc, every business requires capital Amway IS AND WILL BE THE BEST COMPANY WILL EVER EXIST!, just have to do the work!!!!!
Give me her info I want to Join
I’m not an amway fan but for a loved one to tell you “she will never make it, or have her own business” is a real problem. Talk about discouraging
My friend is in WWDB, and he’s not the same person anymore. It’s like they’ve brainwashed him into being a totally different person. He’s been directly involved with them since 2015 and still hasn’t made any type of money with them. I remember he would tell me and other close friends that we can’t be hanging out with him because out association would be the death of him and we’re basically responsible for his own shortcomings in life. Since then he’s turned into an anti-social person who feels super offended when you turn him down for trying to drag you into the WWDB/Amway cult. It’s wrong and I wish I could make him realize his mistake but that’s his problem now.
Yes!!, because people like this one talking going around and giving Amway a bad name, at the end money is not all that IS THE PERSON YOU BECOME!!!, if you are selfish, you not going to last in this business, is for ppl, that WANTS TO HELP PEOPLE, this is not for quitters
Grear video, Martha! I was almost roped in by these shysters. Recruited by two Hunbros who didn't even tell me the name of the organization until three meetings in. They pulled out all the stops on me. Prosperity gospel, dreams of retirement, falses promises. The best decision I ever made was not signing up for this scheme. Keep up the good work.
Just be honest just say it wasn't for you because you didn't have the confidence to do it
THANK YOU SO MUCH I ALMOST FELT FOR THIS SCAM TOO. I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SIGNING IN THE NEXT 1HR, BUT MY GUT FEELIN STOP ME AND I DID A LITTLE DIGGING AROUND AND I FOUND THIS VIDEO THAT COMPLITY CHANGE MY MIND ❤
ugghhhhh.... I didnt fall for it... the one that attempted to suck me in was just insultingly hamfisted... The guy I dealt with gave off suspicious vibes from the start... I specifically told him I was not interested in Amway.... then he tried to get me into it anyway. Also... its not running your own business... they can say that all they want... its a franchise as far as I am concerned
Yeah. You just become an arm Amway runs off
Straightforward and helpful, thank you!!!
What a great overview of World wide ! I was in it for 3 years, i didnt make anything. However , I did acquire a great foundation of success principles and how to build good daily habits. If your hearts not in it 110% its not going to work for you. With my own experience , It was too much considering its not actually your own platform or brand and I didnt agree with the strict applications of the partnership. Over time I grew as an individual and I wanted to run my own business on my own terms, instead of asking permission or "seeking guidance ".
I did find that this group has a sense of self entitlement, as if they re business model was better than others. And another issue i noticed is how they tell you that it doesn't matter what religion you come from , your welcome....but as time goes by they do ask you if you ve considering devoting your self to God as a Christian, I didnt like that. I could go on and on, but thats my two cents. And I agree with the Brainwashing comments as well!
Is a choice !! You don’t have to change your religion!, believe me that is not an issue, have to work hard!!, yes!!!, but is better than the compensation plan At your job, and work until you drop dead, and broke!ppl. Is afraid of work!!
I really appreciate you. This video actually HELPS people who need more information on this MLM business. I pray and hope it has helped others as it has me. Thank you so much
I really enjoyed your very detailed informative brake-down of WORLDWIDE DREAM BUILDERS and AMWAY.
I was calling my best friend for support because I recently discovered I was brainwashed by a cult and was a little uncertain about the direction of my life now... he said the “business opportunity” he had been offered sounded like a perfect fit for me and this is it. Thanks for the video, hope I can get him out
"Ah yes, you are recovering from intellectual control, let me adopt you into this motivational hive mind that will take your money too"
@@rachealminnskay4428 what my homie did to me smh
Lol! Next time they should buy you dinner first before they rape your mind!
Lol wait what
Thanks for making this video just attended a meeting and it didn't feel right with my gut
Thank You so much for your TH-cam video on Worldwide. I was approached at a Barnes &Nobles store. I was really intrigued by everything that was presented to me at first. Then I did the zoom call. After the zoom call I spoke with the person that presented this to me. He texted over to me a link that had Audio and Amyway products and other things in the link. My intuition was was spot on that this was some kind of scam. I am very familiar with Amyway and the company since it is from my home town. I did my research and then stumbled upon your TH-cam channel. I really can't Thank you enough. I currently subscribed to your TH-cam channel and really looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank You!!
Thank you so much for this video
Thank You! i just joined few weeks ago and finally I decided to quit for good!
A few weeks. So weak. I love millennial quitters
@@theamwaymantv4690 I’m finally in a position where I can do this. Just no up line in my area
I don’t have an upline in my area either and there have been diamonds And even a HIGE EDC’s who built it alone due to a falling out in the upline. Check out a man with a dream TH-cam video. Message back on here if I need more help info

@@m.f.culler9012 if u need any more info or help let me know
Thank you so much for this.
i almost joined them… thanks to you!
Love the emotion in the video.
Holy shit. The AMWAY defense here and in the likes, is insane.
Just speaking the truth
@@JRMiracleman Nah, it's predatory, cultish, and ultimately a poor life choice.
@@northwestclasspnw7974 So you say.
We lost thousands, too. Also was I the only one who thought the board plan meetings in the middle of the night were weird? Lol. Thanks for explaining everything perfectly in this video!💗
That has to do with what organization your with everyone works different and its not mandatory unless you really want to succeed and put that time into it in the middle of the night. Because the organization I'm in does not do that.
LxsGirl we put lots of time and effort into it. Staying up all night multiple times a week, spending all our weekends at meetings & events, etc. it’s not for everyone, but I wish you luck.
@isabella same here!! We wasted so many time and money and the guilt of leaving our kids to babysitter so we can go to meetings not even including the travel from state for major event.😤 we take another year to build financially..
They are at nigh bc normal people work during the day
How in the world you lost thousands? 🙈🤣 Is based on products. You didn’t use or ate what you bought or sold it?
Waw I wish I found this earlier. But what a great information
my older sister is in worldwide and know a lot of her friends in it. Great people. she hasn't had a job for 2 years. shes 25. I would do it but i'm passionate about environmental engineering. Lol I mean to each his own i guess
Thank you for your comment and for taking the time out your day to watch my video. I’m happy for your friend finding success. I hope nothing but the best in life for you! I’m so proud that you are taking a career path in environmental engineering, that is so cool. Thank you for being so passionate and willing to make a difference in our environment! We need more people like you to take action. I’m simply here sharing information however like you have said to each their own. Thank you again Adam!!!! 🙏🏼
Mada 22 I’m looking for an up line if she’s interested
@Samuel Kim why don’t you shut the fuck up and accept that EVERY WORD you have heard from these people has been a lie. Let me try and break this down. THEY. ARE. LYING. TO. YOU.
But thanks for disclosure :)
Thank you! This was broken down great and answered much of my intuition! I don’t have the time to go to 5 meetings and hardly know what it’s about. I bailed on the third meeting because they push you to have “faith” in what they do without disclosing anything! Its cult like conditioning!
When I was in it back in the 1990s. I would get a cassette tape every week. Sometimes it was a double in which case I get 2 tapes on standing order. Listening to the tapes made me feel good but had no instructional information about building a business......
Hey there I just subscribed. Clear and concise! Job well done keep going 👍
Thanks for the support!! 💚
Great video! It really surprises me that some people want to still push these bogus pyramid schemes as an independent business. You are still working for Amway and putting money into their pockets, that is not your business. You are simply an independent contractor. Not a business owner. When you have your own business, you get all the profit, of course there are expenses to having your own business, but again, whatever profit you make comes back to you. You don't have to give a percentage of it to another company.
🎯
Your comment doesn't make any sense.
@@MadanSingh-rq2kt maybe try reading it again? 🤷🏻♂️
You said it yourself. Business owners have expenses. You're paying the manufacturer, staff, landlord et al. It's no different from giving someone else a cut of your profit. That's not what's shady about Amway.
The shady thing about Amway is they bilk your money through the books, courses, products you have to buy while promoting a system that ultimately makes you a slave to your upline.
I couldn’t agree more, it’s a profiteering game. The ones that make money in Amway, make money off of the people that lose money. Absolutely awful
Thank for the information!
Thank you so much for this video my son almost joined Amway and wasted his time and energy. I've already been involved in 2 different Pyramid schemes they are I convoluted Colts who do not care about anyone but their own pockets.
Britt World Wide is in the US
thank you for your video,almost joined thankfully listening to my gut plus your video put it in perspective. watched 4 zoom of there meetings left the 4th one because they are all repetitive, same story, same graphs with and same diagrams.
Good video. My wife and I were in WWDB for 2 years; PM me if you would like some more info about our experiences and losses there.
I’d like to know more. I’m on the fence
Can you comment your experience here? Please and thank you.
Ill help you both out, DO NOT JOIN THE CULT they will get you down and lestn info about you, just to pressure you into becoming one of them, they will legit tske your money they dont care about you fr.
Got into Amway back in 1989. Back then you couldn't find out this information. If it was available I never knew it. Nobody I knew knew either. Had no idea back then that the upline were making 85%+ of their money from books, tapes and functions. Just like the 97.5% who don't make a profit, I had to get out before very long. I have friends who even moved from San Antonio to Houston,Tx. to be closer to their upline. They went into horrible debt and had to quit. They were both working and they got financially ruined. It is an upspeakable evil what these upper half of the top 1% are doing to these people, the only thing that can be done about it is what YOU are doing. Putting out the information. Thank You. Mark from Arkansas.
I meet a couple two weeks ago who said they had traveling friends and that if I meet them it could help me travel… I only had 2 in person meetings and since the first meeting it felt shady…because they didn’t even mention what it was their friends did that allowed them to have a nomads lifestyle
even after I asked….the second meeting I learned and I didn’t know anything about Amway… the second meeting made me a bit convinced… but instincts told me there’s something shady about them after the Zoom meeting Speech i wasted time in…made me lol deeper into this Amways…n I’m thankful for this…
Yes!, they don’t say it, because ppl, like you give Amway a bad reputation, not fair, going around killing ppls, dream!
New Year, New Opportunities, New Possibilities. Let's Go....
How many active Amway IBOs are there?
They almost got me!!! I didn’t like the secrecy,
The constant meetings with out telling me about the organization. My mottos is : too many secrets= too many lies
Same....it's so damn secretive i thought they sold drugs...or that it was illegal or a cult
😄😄😄
Allora sei capitata nel team sbagliato. Nel mio team non ci sono segreti e il mio mentore mi sta veramente aiutando a fare l'attività. Cerca di informarti meglio direttamente ad Amway e denuncia ogni cosa sospetta. Molti imprenditori leader Amway sono stati cacciati da Amway perché si sono comportati disonestamente con quelli che si avvicinano per la prima volta al business di Amway. Non credere a tutte quelle bugie che dicono su Amway. Amway NON È PIRAMIDALE!! Un anno fa qui in Italia Amway ha denunciato un leader che imbrogliava incaricati e clienti e faceva parte di una setta satanica. È stato denunciato e arrestato per truffa aggravata con finalità a estorsione e manipolazione mentale. Riusciva a convincere con l'ipnosi a comprare i prodotti e a iscrivere le persone costringendole a fare sesso con lui. È finito in carcere! Come vedi Amway non transige che ci siano disonesti nell'attività.
I figured that’s how it works when they started explaining it to me, it’s funny how there way of commission works, they tell you there not recruiting people but they are. They show you different status like you need 12legs to become platinum and what that actually means is each person needs to pay like $2k per year and you will be making $166 per month from one of them but that’s impossible. To at-least get 12people cause if you do you’ll make 2k per month but still the person might cancel and you’ll lose money, there are so many risks involved with it clicked so fast when they started explaining. And I told them let me first make money from selling on Amway and pay for the WWG at least so that I can actually make a profit and they very much focused on the WWG subscription and that did not make any sense for me to lose 2k per year with out a tested proof, all your doing is brining more people to subscribe to WWG and you get 30% cut from it that’s it nothing more nothing less.
STAY BLESS..THANK YOU ❤️
What I want to know is how much money you have to get back money by points an they will send you a check ?
Thanks for the info 👍 ❤
Personally I’m not in any of those things but if I may ask how different is it “recruiting” than it is “getting subscribers” on this? All businesses need to have people in it to work? Either way, you’re awesome keep it up!
Having a TH-cam channel is providing content that if people enjoy, they can support. Recruiting for an MLM is knowingly coaxing people into a situation where 90% of people will loose money.
I have a dead end job, however it is excellent for helping me keep a roof over my head and food on the table. If I wanted to develop a side business with minimal investment and examples of success that would not interfere with my job, what would you suggest?
@ET phone home do you or people you personally know have success selling on ebay?
@ET phone home just having fun!
Just don't see how that would be better than the money I make working overtime at my job or growing a team and creating on going income as an alternative.
@TK Kirkland soooooo sell junk to people so they can get their shopping high??? Then throw away after the feel good sensation is gone..
Basically destroy the planet ok got it jeeez
@TK Kirkland just saying. So think about it... live with needs not wants save your money.....money isn't everything..
Lol
@TK Kirkland sure... I can send it so you can have it with those diamonds that you have from WWG.. as you live the dream
Good job, Thanks for the info
hahaha I was under my "mentors" wing and freeballing the meetings and had access to allll of their content. I guess they were "impressed" that I was 18 at the time, so I guess they really wanted me there because I was the youngest one there. Oh well, can't have it all. 🤷🏽♀🤷🏽♀
Two rules for a happy life.. never buy a timeshare and never join an MLM
This stat is for Founder's Diamond. What about regular dimonds?
They just got me and now I'm at the fourth step in the process. They seem really nice (maybe not) and idk how to tell them that I want to quit
Hi Lisa, I just recently got a call from someone because my number was given to them. It's simple chica… Your time and energy is valuable just tell them it's not for you, and thank you anyway. Goodluck… You got this!!!
A very appropriate time to use ghosting
@@poeticaffect2956 so are you giving to give the opportunity to her?
Do you go direct to Amway now? Cut out middle guy?
I'm fairly certain that you purchasing the motivational books doesn't give a commission to your coaches/mentors. It doesn't affect your PV or their BV so they aren't actually making money off of you buying a book. The only money made is through purchase and sale of product and then the duplication of that process.
A regular business owner does something or has a skill that they market to the public. They then expand or duplicate that skill or service by hiring workers. Its the same thing. The only difference is there is no set pay. Yes you could make nothing based on your work ethic but you could also make more than your mentor or coach. It simply depends on who you are. And as far as products go we've loved everything we've tried thus far aside from the meal bars. And the only unreasonably priced item we've come across so far has been their water bottles.
😂those mentoring tapes is just another stream of income for amway/people at the top. Why listen to them when youtube is free
Thank you! You saved me!
How long were you in wwdb for?
This was one of the most straight forward and easy to understand videos out there. My good friend and her hubby just got sucked into this. I pray they get out sooner than later.
April Chesterfield thank you 🙏🏼
Your awesome 😎 keep it up
Martha, you did such a great job explaining this. Thanks.
Thank you so much Peter.
I'm an active IBO. Martha you made your point. I'm focused in my retail sales, my customers. I have one leg with a Diamond in depth. I've been in the Amway business since 2009. I liked the way you presented the facts. Thank you
What does "one leg with a diamond in depth"?
@@northwestclasspnw7974 you reach the 25% pin within the first couple of days if not the first of the month. It's really nice.
You have a Diamond in your Downline?! I hope you’ve got good width because you’d be getting a decent check from having a Diamond in one of your legs
@@JDotWill yes I have
@@panivino28 Well good for you. Who’s the diamond if I may ask? & how much is your bonus check from that leg if you don’t mind me asking?
I got here because some dude tried to get me to join Amway yesterday. I saw threw is BS pretty quickly. Guys Start your own business, you can do it. You don't need to be in a MLM. I started a small Upholstery business 4-5 years ago after I was laid off due to low gas prices I was in the oil industry. I'm loving it. I work my ass off but I keep the rewards not some dude in an upline. I get to work on what I want when I want my only boss is whom ever walks in the door every day
I only saw threw the BS because right after high school I worked for Vector Marketing/cutco so I had made that mistake once already.
That’s awesome! Congratulations on your success in your business👏🏼👏🏼 May I ask where did they try to recruit you?
@@MarthaReyes its convoluted some guy who owns a local repair business stopped at my business in August of last year. He asked if any of us in the business park needed any repairs, but we didn't need any repairs at that time, we exchanged business cards and he left. A few months later this guy sends me some really awkward text messages I thought it was an attempt to build rapport, I thought he was just trying remind me that he does repairs and wanted me to keep his business in mind for the work, not a bid deal I do that with clients as well. I forgot about it then months later, yesterday I get a call to my business line after hours and from a number i didn't recognize. it was repair guy, he is trying to get me to join Amway. He wouldn't straight out say it was Amway at first so I decided to hear him out because I had a few celebratory drinks due a completed project we had just finished. normally I shut that crap down and won't listen. once he came out and said it was Amway I was done listening. and time someone says "do you want to make some extra money one the side" or "whats your side hustle" I am wary. I usually work 8-14 hours a day this is my main hustle and my side hustle. I'm all hustled out
Gold Ridge Design: Cutco makes excellent cutlery.
@@ed7519 their marketing practices are not the most ethical and not sustainable for the sales reps. The product is fine.
So you live in the S quadrant....
I had a question. What if you did what they taught and did the 2 to 5 year plan. What would of happened to you? I know you quit after 6 months but what about the people who didnt quit and stuck it out?
I was there for about 4 years. I did not become broke, but I wasted a lot of time trying to build My bussyness. I only earned a couple of bucks, but the products are kinda expensive and hard to sell. The only way I could see to qualify or get a certain level, was by overstocking, or by overstocking someone else. Sure I was a fool by following a dream that was someone else's, but I was really desperate.
I got a buddy involved with these people directly and he’s been in there since 2015 and he hasn’t made a single penny. He’s still loyal to them though, which is his own downfall
You would go broke and you would lose all your friends as they would get tired of you constantly trying to sell to them.
If you are putting the numbers through the process you’ll be rich. We like teaching, put 150 people through the process in a year and you’ll have your foundation to become a diamond, which is true. But everyone that makes these videos are not doing the work so they automatically think PYRAMID SCHEME 😂😂
@@Travistrejo That’s because it is a MLM Pyramid Scheme.
Thank you so much
We were in WWDB from 1990-1997, until Jack Daughery created his own organization. We were so broke, and would skip car payments to attend functions. Of course our upline discouraged not paying bills, but what they discouraged even more was missing functions. To miss functions was to earn their scorn and to be less deserving of their time and attention. Leaving babies weekends for years and years. So much time and money wasted trying to find favor with people who care nothing for you, knowing you are also just a number. I never felt worse about myself than the years I spent in Amway. It took distance to realize and understand this.
This may have happened after you left WWDB, but did you ever have a CD with a song about CommuniKate? I know I had it around 1999-2001ish but can’t find it for the life of me
@@KimberlyFine9595 Never heard of it.
I had a friend like that. Trying so hard to sell me stuff I already had to just save 10 dollars or get him on better status with his company, he realized after 4 years and 20,000 dollars he lost by given them that he was conned. He literally kept defending that company till the top leader of the company was arrested for 20 years and all the other ones got 5 to 15 years a piece for conspiracy and other huge fraud and tax fraud… and now that buddy is another company with the same tactics. All I noticed he loved was the energy he got from the conferences they had with thousands of people jumping up and down. I guess some people are addicted to being hyped up with false realities. Poor guy wasted all the money he saved up for college and still works for his dads company that he will never leave.
Stop and think about this! How much was Amway, how much was WWDB? If you look at Amway and it's business/ IBO rules of conduct and policies you will see, no where did AMWAY ever require anyone to join WWDB, Yager Group, Network 21 and the list goes on! Those years you mentioned 1990-1997, not much was on the internet and thus you wouldn't have known this because you would have had to call AMWAY itself to ask if you needed to join these groups or if you could fly solo aside from them. It was never AMWAY fault! AMWAY/ALTICOR is the manufacturer of the products and the affiliate membership to sell those said products. WWDB and groups like it, Organizations that linked/networked together under AMWAY membership to form there own LLC and to grow as basically one huge marketing platform. I am telling you the truth! Not Amway fault the Quixtar/WWDB empire came falling down! By WWDB doing and there doing alone!
I was part of worldwide for six months in 2018 from March - September and you were extremely accurate with everything you said here. Surprised how nice you were about it. Thanks for what you do. Inspires me to want to do this as well. People need to know this
Very informative I have been approached by it as well but I’m doing my research and your video is very informative thank you
Maybe checking out some creditable sources would be better? If you were writing a college paper and said you got your information off of TH-cam, you would’ve received an F. Make sure you do your research through creditable sources, such as, BBB, Euromonitor, etc.
What about Pearl status? Lol. We were one of 3 couples that helped the upline reach Pearl status at their request to help us "go direct". It only cost each couple $10,300. The upline talked us into buying those door alarms back in the early 1980's in the amount of $10,300 to get to "direct status". We all ended up with cardboard statues all through our houses. Contrary to the belief of the upline, sales of these as a hot item in sales do not come through, Turned out nobody wanted to buy them and we couldn't even give them away. We were scammed by the upline and worse, deceived by the upline.
I am still trying to process on why people don’t questions their boss or the company they work for but actually question a business like this. People want to have the rich life without putting the work.. if this video un-motivates you from building a business like this then you were bound to quit so you are doing the person that invited you a favor. This video is just a filter :)
Just to say the least, this is what it is said about making it as an actor.
“The majority of people who attempt to make a sustainable career as an actor fail to do so, and it is incredibly difficult.”
This statement is increíbly similar to every other “get rich” paths… 😂 so do yourself a favor, respect what people do and put yourself to work. Nothing in life comes for free.
The whole video, you voice was cracking 💔 I’m so sorry you went through that. A really good friend of mine got into WWDB, and she’s just not the same person anymore. It’s sad to see how much her mind has changed. Also, what a huge conflict of interest when they don’t disclose that they’re going to get a commission for those purchases.
Actually the lottery it’s .000001 or something like that. Don’t get on WWDB just buy what you need/ like and sell as much as you can/ want. With time you might get to 25% bonus plus profit. Don’t spend more than what you feel comfortable or can afford.
Times have changed, when I was in "the buisness", we didnt have all these apps cause they weren't created yet and wed still listen to tapes. For my mental sanity I'm glad I got out when I did. Thanks for sharing.
Ya, just had someone try to get me into this. I was sure from the start that it was fishy but was curious to see how they get you. I feel bad cause the guy that was trying to recruit me admitted he wasn't making much but he would be in good shape in 3 years while he's telling me I can make six figures in 2. Not sure if he really believes that or is stretching the truth but I feel bad for him lol.
I agree with a lot of what you said. And I wanted to say thanks for taking the time to record and edit this video! The only thing I disagree with is your logic on the percentage chance thing. What you said would only make sense for randomly generated numbers. It's not like you have 1000 people in a room and then AmWay will randomly pick a lucky contestant to be a "diamond". I understand the emotional pain though. Glad you got out of your situation :)
From a individuals ibo standpoint becoming a diamond may as well be random and I think for away its somewhere around 1/10,000
Hey Martha, great job explaining it. I actually went through the process and I’m glad I did not launch. I almost did but that gut feeling really saved me. I looked up people’s stories and after watching them my eyes were completely open. I’m glad you got out! Keep moving forward!
BrynBlk same here
Thanks for explaining things out. I’m glad I listened to you before the recruiting process. I’ve changed my mind.
Thanks a lot
SAME!!!!
These comments make me so happy. Go buy some nice food with that $100 you saved and get back to you focuses!
almost got sucked into this bull shit thank god im doing all the research I can on it
Thank you so much for the video. Had someone try and get me to sign up and glad my instincts were right. Seemed so shady especially like with you I really couldn't get a good answer on most my questions. Thank you so much for helping me not waste my time.
I just have a question for you. Do you know so well Martha that just for this video you can make a decision?
It’s weird just to believe in someone that you don’t know, TH-cam is free and anyone can say anything. Go and find information from the right place and then take a decision.
My sister is in this cult like mlm. All she does is try to sell stuff at family gatherings.
Thanks for the video. My husband's niece just cold messaged me trying to get me join WWDB. I told her how concerned I was and told her to get out! She doesn't care.... I hope she doesn't lose alot of money and gets out while she can.
She's brainwash. It can be hard. My husband is join Amway and it has created an issue.
I lost my car with this company. I'm better off with a great paying job where I'm happy 😁
My girlfriend was looking for some new friends on an app and she was approached by someone pretending to want to be friends. My girlfriend says that she felt like she was being interviewed every time they spoke. The other girl wanted to meet me and once we agreed we got in a zoom call and she started a presentation. I can’t tell you how mad I am, what this girl did and is doing is disgusting. Pretending to want to be friends just to sign up people with an MLM. She has no idea what my girlfriend has gone through, it’s just disgusting what they do. As soon as I saw that she had WWDB website up on the screen I immediately said no. Thank you for making this video, hopefully people watch it and don’t fall for this pyramid scheme.
Martha, I truly appreciate you making this video. People need to be aware and knowledgeable of what’s out there especially the people who get approached vaguely. However, I was and I think I’m still an IBO who was active on and off with WWDB. One thing that did bother me was the money that I was spending and yes it is expensive. But, it’s expensive period to start and own a business period (shocker). I currently stepped away from them and started a business myself outside of MLMs so a traditional business. You are all over the place and I didn’t really get your point with what you were saying, you said you were going to tell the truth about wwdb but all I really heard was speculation and criticism which anyone can be a critic, my 3 year old did it this morning when I asked him to eat his beans. You also touched on Amway not endorsing WWDB which they clearly state after each and every audio so that makes me question if you really were listening or reading the material and disclosures, which is designed that way to avoid any law suits. It is heavily regulated by the FTC which in the hood we would say, “you got to watch out for them alphabet boys” The FBI, LAPD, the DEA etc. Point is it’s nothing to mess around with. You also didn’t like the fact that up line makes a commission or money off the books you buy from the website. So who does the money go to when you buy your audible books? I know your speaking from experience and trying to “help” people but I can’t help but to feel like you don’t realize your being sort of a hypocrite. First off, your on TH-cam, judging your thumbnails and taking a look at your new videos your trying to attract more people with cute thumbnails, good graphics and content, so your pretty much trying to make this a full time thing which will make you money in the long run. Do you know the statistics it is to make money off TH-cam? It’s very slim, do you know the statistics it is for people with gym memberships to actually get fit, very slim, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to stop trying to eat a quesadilla loaded with beans and 2 sodas on the side every few hours or stop running because of those statistics and I’m pretty sure when you look up statistics for TH-cam stars your not going to stop making videos. “Taking advantage and vulnerabilities” huh (with an open mouth going uhhhhhhhhhh) I think before you post you got to really think about what you say and why you say it. If I was a teacher or coach grading you for your work or performance I would give you a D-. My experience is this, WWDB was an amazing opportunity, the mentorship, the coaching, and overall the friendships you make in that business are incredible. Everything that they have taught me I still use today in my traditional business. Look up how much a life coach charges and you will be blown away vs the education that this business will give you. There’s a video where this guy on TH-cam is asking rappers for advice and coaching and the fees they charge just for a little bit of advice is nuts. Just look up how much money a football coach in the NFL makes just for coaching. My advice is, if you are approached by someone from WWDB, take a chance and soak in the association. Learn and listen to what they listen to it’s amazing what it does to your brain. For example Extreme Ownership, Start With Why, The 5 Love Languages, those are some amazing books that aren’t directly affiliated with Amway or WWDB just the education they give you. I am very grateful that I was shown this business and although I probably am not going back because my business is doing good, I’ve seen people because I was in it for over 5 years start from the bottom and actually make a good living and 6 figures from. I’ve seen proof that this business works it’s just you have to make so much sacrifices and that’s something I had issues with. It’s definitely a lifestyle not a hobby just like Martha made it sound like. 6 months come on home girl get real. I hope you become a really good TH-cam developer, and make it big I really do but dang I think you need to check yourself big time and give that biz a little credit, it got you making TH-cam videos. That’s a start, I know after 6 months your not going to quit just because you aren’t making money yet. You know you will eventually you just have to put in the work which is the mindset you need starting and doing any business period. Form Amway to TH-cam. Good luck and again thank you for sharing.
You make a lot of sense in your rebuttal...very fair and real in your comments. My wife and I built the business in early '80's, part of the Bill Britt Org which morphed into WWDB..we had a great upline and learned so much that changed our life and approach to life post-Amway. Life and circumstances got in the way and we allowed that to derail us...but we're forever grateful for the experience. We got involved when we were 26 and 24 and it was like a post-grad education about business, psychology, free enterprise, leadership and on an on. We met some of our best friends, to this day AND found a new life in our spiritual walk as a result.
Careful, your inner guilt for sucking people into a money black hole is showing
Gaetano DiPasqua that warms my heart knowing that. It changes your life for sure if you are around for a while. Bill Britt is awesome!
Racheal Minns Kay Take it how you want, I appreciate you for taking the time to read what I posted and comment. But your wrong, that isn’t my intention at all.
Thank you so much for this video I dodged a phat bullet, keep it up👍
Great job explaining everything! Right on point!
Thanks Victoria!!! 💚
