Amway, WWDB & Dreams?

I have been in touch with an IBO who is in WWDB. Apparently dream building is a big part of WWDB. While it is good to have goals and dreams, I find it somewhat interesting to know that only a select few people in WWDB ever reached these goals and dreams because of their involvement with WWDB and Amway. In fact, despite claims by our upline that WWDB was the "best" and more profitable LOS, there is little or no evidence that this is true. I have not seen many new diamonds emerge from WWDB, but on the contrary, I have seen evidence of WWDB diamonds having their homes foreclosed and/or involvement with bankruptucy. Somme WWDB leaders who taught that WWDB saves marriages got divorced. Ain't that a kick in the shin?

In my opinion, this dream building approach is simply a tactic to get a prospect interested in the opportunity and then the upline will tell the prospect that the way to achieve these dreams is to be dedicated to the system (WWDB). This is the same system that has few new diamonds and diamonds in apparent financial difficulty. These dreams may also help to retain some IBOs in the system as it would seem that quitting Amway and WWDB means these dreams are no longer attainable.

If you are an information seeker or a struggling IBO, a question you may want to consider is whether your dedication to Amway and WWDB progressing you towards these stated dream or if you are simply channeling your money into products and training materials which helps achieve other people's dreams?

Below is an excerpt from a WWDB IBO about dreambuilding:


So that’s why we have pictures and words of affirmation around our house. When you come into our condo you’ll see words like “Overcome”, “do the opposite of the masses”, “The best is yet to come”, “Play Injured”, “Are you living a dream, or just living your life”, “Break through the wall of fear”, “We' re all in” and more. We believe these things motivate us and give us a dream. Then you’ll see stuff on our fridge like pictures of Kelowna where we want to live, Wineries, because we love wine, in my office you’ll see a picture of a Breitling Chronomat B01 watch because that’s the watch I want, you’ll see magazines with inspirational things in them that relate to us. It’s these things that keep our dreams alive.

It’s so important to do this whether you are building this business or not. This what i’m writing about is part of the 95% of what we do with World Wide Dreambuilders. The 5%, the Amway Global portion is the vehicle for the 95%. You need a dream, goals and passion so that you have something to work towards.

We’ve got BIG dreams, and so should you!

  1. Not to mention they say you can be financially independent in 1-2 years by budgeting and buying scamway products in order to save convience and money. Also, 2-5 year plan for you to reach success. Crock of bull!!

    1. No, they don't want you to budget. They want you to "pour out" your money into WWDB.

    2. In my experience, budgeting is not only engaged but taught. It is a part of preparing someone for signing up. Putting people on a budget. Now, the problem lies in the teaching that you should not follow your budget if you can't afford a function, go anyway. Generally though, they also teach to go make some extra money by doing odd jobs, driving uber, stuff like that. But some downline definitely teach you to go into debt to get to a function. I would not personally teach that bc if you contradict yourself byv telling someone to go on a budget and ten tell them it's okay to go into debt for functions, you're seeing them up for financial ruin. I would rather someone not go to functions than end up massively in debt. Unfortunately, it is true that it is a self-perpetuating system that funnels money to the diamonds. WWDB I mean. I definitely would not agree that the WWDB system has zero value. But the real problem is that they constantly contradict themselves when it comes in conflict with making them $$$. Amway isn't a scam and multilevel marketing can be a great way to make extra money if built right, they are not pongo schemes AKA pyramids, that's an outright lie. Ponzi scams only ever exchange $, you must sell products in Amway and any other proper multilevel, now some do abuse the format, but Amway, while not perfect, is definitely one of the better companies. The problem is that WWDB allows no real critical thinking, no deviency of thought, and it's their way or the highway. It insures methods don't improve and people sho what they're tools instead of truly being free. Real freedom is choosing for yourself, good or bad.

      You are no better than WWDB if you don't show people to really choose for themselves. I think your blog is great, flawed, but great. I have watched you interact with people, and it is often not much more useful than how I see diamonds treat people. You have to give Peele information and let them mashes up their own mid or your just another boss telling them what to do.
