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.
@@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
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
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.
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!
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!!!!!
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
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.
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
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!!!! 🙏🏼
@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.
I was involved with them for 3 years. I was young and naive at the time. I had believed everything my "coach" had told me. Wish I had seen something like this back then. I wasted a lot of time and money with them. I never liked the whole secrecy part and never telling people what it is that I was trying to get someone involved with.
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 ❤
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.
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
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!
WWG was the best thing that ever happened to me. They teach you how to break out of your comfort zone. Be a first class citizen, learn people skills and create good habits in your life. The hardest thing was breaking out of my turtle shell(comfort zone). Now I definitely didn’t build the biggest amway business. But I directly applied all principles learned from WWG and grew a traditional small business that did 1.9 million in revenue last year. I would do it ALL over again if I had to. I’m sorry you didn’t have the greatest experience but I had a totally different one. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors 🤟
Mike Nazarian you don’t get it man. I was going through tough times and had nobody and it was thanks to these guys and self development helped me realize what I truest want in life. Not just WWG
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.
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
WWDB/Amway changed mine and my wife's life literally, forever. We got out of $85k of debt in 3.5 years and just had our first baby. It replaced my wife's income, and it's on the way to replacing mine. I feel bad for people who find this video (that only has partial truths) and then they opt out because they think this is the "truth". I've been around the organization for 7 years, and the leaders of World Wide have hearts of gold. There's literally NO way you lost money. It's not lost if you apply the personal development to your life. Judging by the video, I assume that wasn't done. Learn to value personal growth and you won't have to post hater videos to try to earn your audience in life. Cheers,
Amway and WWG didn't do shit. You took what you learned from manipulating and lying to people and applied it to pay off the debt. Saving money isn't a new revolutionary idea amway/wwg came up with. You just finally did it. You literally lose money. You spend more on the products, going to the stupid major functions, 22 dollars for a board plan twice a month, driving around and spending money on gas "out in the flow", the regional bullshit and the amount of time you spent walking around stores hunting people to scam them. I know of all of them and they're all greedy scam artists. Bill Hawkins and the bakers...it doesn't matter who. You're drinking their tea and you're literally being scammed of your money. If you hit eagle and above, you are manipulating so many people and lying to their faces when you say you care about them. She literally states in the video and breaks down on how much money you are "making". Your cost to profit is negative. Leave before you waste any more money. I've built this business pretty solid and I'm telling you, leave and save your money. Stop drinking the Kool aid. Your upline does not give a fuck about you and this really isn't your business. Fuck WWG and Fuck Amway. A leech disguised as a blessing. Such a dishonest and disgusting way to try and make money and scam people. Fuck the functions and all the "this can change your life" bullshit. In order for you to even make money you have to have so many others not make any money. You are literally putting people in a worse spot. Ever since I left I have saved so much more money and my life has been so much more enjoyable and productive. And thank goodness it does not involve this scamway bullshit. Oh and fuck WWG again. Fake ass Puryears...if you are in it and reading this: Get out and run from these scum fucks. There is no miracle they are showing. I've been up there and built a solid business and everything your upline is telling you is bullshit and they just want your money...peace.
Here's the deal... Do you wanna start a business? Ok... What do you wanna sell? You're own handmade products? Setup a shoe store? Setup a restaurant? Setup a coffee shop? Setup a phone repair shop? So how much inventory do you need to buy? What equipment do you need to buy for your business? How big of a loan do I need to get started? What types of products in your inventory do you think you can sell easily? How much money will I lose on a monthly basis if I don't move my inventory? Who will your competitors be? Online competitors? Local competitors? If you startup a retail store thus you are sourcing your products from manufacturers, or distributors, do you still consider yourself an entrepreneur? After paying for the lease of your office space, employees, inventory, utilities and other business expenses, what will your profit margins be after you have to lower your prices to match your competitors? How will you handle returns in your store? I could go on...I think it's a good idea for anyone to consider the risks of starting up any business including those related to MLM. There are many MLM companies that provide quality comprehensive products with extensive money back guarantee. And setting up your own business requires you to self study on many things including accounting, business strategy, leadership and business management or else you can just learn through trial and error. Some MLMs provide you with professional development training that you can apply to your careers and other future non MLM business. Food for thought... Have a nice day.
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
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 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.
@@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
I went to a meeting tonight as a guest and it felt weird. Going into it I thought it was a pyramid scheme, but it felt down right cultish. The talk only confirmed that it was a pyramid scheme and I’m not naïve enough to get caught in amount of money they said I would make. This vid has confirmed that I will tell my mentor tomorrow that I will not go through with anymore of the recruitment process.
I literally just got back home from a meeting and it felt very culty. One person literally told me to stop talking to my relatives and friends if they said anything negative about the business. As soon as I got through my door I decided to do some investigating on Amway and within 15 minutes I came to the same conclusion as you.
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..
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
lizardstyle101 don’t usually waste my time on people like you but Amway is an American company. Literally standing for the American way. What research have you actually done?
@@alex18134 i was in amway. that is my research are dumb or stupid rapper 69 would say. Amway is a cult! The want to take peoples money! They want to brainwash you!
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.
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
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 😂😂
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.
Back in the '90's, I joined AMWAY and saw that their products were way more than what you'd pay at a regular store. I also hated the fact that you had to pay a ton of money to get the tapes, etc, etc. I went to a weekend meeting which I found ridiculous. You sat in a room for hours on end without a break. In fact, it was nothing more than an hours long pep rally. By time you got out, you were exhausted. I went home the next day. I quit AMWAY soon after that. After seeing this videos and others, I'm GLAD I quit. What a waste of TIME AND MONEY. Avoid this at ALL COSTS.
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..
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.
Quick question whats your income a month and what qualifies you to talk about a billion dollars business and make videos about it who you think will listen to you if your not a business analyst
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.
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!!!! 💚
They're drinking the kool aid. Weird of all these amway dick riders hopping on a video saying "say no to mlms"....hmm. Unfortunately they are all brainwashed. The ones being controlled are the ones who cannot see they are being controlled even though everyone else can see it.
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
Amway: "there are streets of gold to be harvested, come with me to a new world!" People: "Yay!" (They arrive) People: "Where is the gold?" Amway: "uuuuh... you cant see it!? Your just not working hard enough! But don't worry buy this book and you'll be able to see!" People: ...
It sounds like you’re not used to hard work and didn’t have your mindset shifted from employee to business owner. Everything in life is a pyramid, including a job. This video was a waste of my time. The vibe I got is from a lazy person frustrated that things didn’t work the way they wanted
Everything is shaped like a pyramid, not everything is a pyramid scheme. Why don’t you see Subway franchisees constantly having to defend that they aren’t in a pyramid scheme.
Technical its a pyramid scheme. I'm a small business owner so I understand how all this works. But to continue the reference. If I am going to go to the gym (cost of operations/startup costs) and workout (my hard work) and then get asked for more money for a trainer (percentage of working with another group) to see results. I could see why she would be upset. You can go to the gym and do the work without the trainer and still see progress. Im not hating on WWG. I am excited to sit down with my WWG contact and see if there is something they offer for actual business owners. If the service they offer will actually help me grow my business then great.
Probably because gyms just ask you for money every month expecting you to figure it out and the only way they will actually help you personally is if you give them more money for a personal mentor.
Worldwide was good with mentorship and coaching. Amway on the other hand was terrible. What I also disliked was when you ask people in the business in if they're close to financial freedom, they would dodge the question. They have good intentions, but definitely not an MLM I'd ever do again.
Here after the spring conference and all I can say is yeah, they are totally bull. Every meeting and audiobook is exactly the same and doesn’t teach you anything but fake motivational garbage. Glad I had only been apart of this cult for a few days before I left. I feel sorry for anybody that gets sucked in for the rest of their working lives.
I got recruited by my own personal banker in Tri-Cities, WA. My recruiter was Rosio Cardoza, she worked at a Keybank Richland, WA. I went in to deposit my check one day and I notice she was unusually nice. She was just coming with the compliments and being extra interested. She's such a great actor and she knows how to turn it on. She was a personal banker recruiting a a bank. Recruiting its customers. Do you know how wrong, how much of violation that is. The business is such bullshit. Constant brainwashing and manipulation on a deep visceral level. Do you wanna be free? Change your association, screw your friends and family members, they dot understand. plug into your upline, listen to audios, drop a Kate, drop the message, lol.
@@MarthaReyes You are awesome Martha. And beautiful as well. For someone to take the time to produce youtube videos about the scam that is WWDB/Amway takes a lot. A lot of people are in your shoes and do nothing after the fact. You're being vulnerable, brave, and courageous. Helping others. Your videos are presented with facts and you speak so clearly. You are very articulate. I support you all the Martha.
There is nothing wrong with being nice to people. If people were nicer to people more of the time, and tried to help people more, this world would be a better place. Gratitude for an opportunity to do something bigger and better than what the world generally offers it's something that we all could use. I wish everyone well and whatever they do. Anything worth wild goes to considerable effort.
Yeah, I’ll vouch for you. I did Amway for 6 months and I got out. It felt like a cult. Members seemed to have a blind devotion to it as if this was the only way to be successful. I didn’t like having to in a sense sucker people into my down line. They would always tell me to invite someone to those weekly meetings but I couldn’t tell them what it was exactly. I was already working 2 jobs and going to school and they wanted more from me but it wasn’t realistic. I was initially told that I just had to put some initial work in but after that the products would sell themselves. Not true. To be successful in Amway requires a lot of your time. You won’t get far if it’s just a side gig. You’ll end up spending more than what you make(if anything really). You also have to have a salesman personality which I don’t to do this line of work. When I told my up line that I was out he didn’t take it well and said it was like “ending a relationship “ and told me “ you need to get your head out of your butt.” I was not compelled to continue after that.
Literally same here except I got out right after I "earned my membership," went to the first (and only) in person meeting in town, and saw first hand what it was really about. My "coach" started going off on a mindless tirade and yappin about how I was "a failure in life to my future self and family and haven't accomplished anything" and that's when I knew I made the right decision to quit lol. I've seen delusion but Acting like amway/ltd is the end all be all for success was something else, and dude really tried to talk me out of doing youtube💀💀 Anyways I let dude know how I really felt about him over text before I blocked his number for good. Never been more free and happier in my life
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.
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.
It's not a selling business, it's a buyers business. It's NOT Amway the company that is the problem, it's usually the people you might involve yourself with. What this company offers has changed countless lives. Remember, Amway is NOT the people and the people are NOT Amway. There are building practices and principles to make a person a success using the Amway vehicle, a proven fact. Also a proven fact if you are not taught, do not follow or unwilling to learn the building practises and principles, you have no drive desire or want a change you will eventually quit. This business is so simple stupid, it's (pro)sumerism not (con)sumerism. The majority of society will barely be getting by when they reach their senior years because they did not realize or just did not have the resilience to create for themselves other streams of income, alternative passive income. Look at your bank account, savings, retirement plan. Wake up people, you're losing.
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......
Wow! You are focusing on the wrong stuff. Like any business you need to focus on volume and salesmanship and in this case, doing it in just a few hours per week. Check out what a Ruby makes in even 20 hours per week and then show me another job where you can make that kind of coin part time.
Brad, I'm sorry pal, but most of the money is coming from retail purchases of downline distributors. Amway products are predominantly purchased by Amway distributors.
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
Thank You so much for your RUclips 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 RUclips channel. I really can't Thank you enough. I currently subscribed to your RUclips channel and really looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank You!!
Good job Martha! Not only is there a .03% chance to make diamond you still have to work to keep the diamondship or you can lose it. Plus those people aren’t as rich as they claim to be.
Every company has to keep working to keep the business success or else they lose their business. How do you think companies like Apple are still successful after all these years.
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!
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!
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.
I was part of them, paid to be a member and have our own social media play form and a messenger/ audio called Kate. After 2 months I cancelled my membership cause I’m loosing money instead. They even told me to look for another job that pays better so I can buy more products from anyway and that will lead to more passive income.
Do you have $50. 0000 dlls , to start a as business??,don’t think so!, every business requires investment!!!, this is such a small amount, for what we received, we don’t loose $, have to spend it anyway.
I just searched for “is WWDB still active,” and I came upon this video. It’s been over 15 years since I left. I find it interesting to see that it is indeed still active and they are still up to their tactics to make money off hardworking people. Thanks for making your video. I wish I had this type of information. Back then you just had to take their word for it and “trust” them to “help” 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!!
Excuse me! How is 600.00 a lot a money to begin your journey as a business owner to much money? Franchises start at 1 mil and upward. Explain this please?
2 years being CORE, family has collectively put in over 20 years. It's garbage, and lack of results is "you not trying hard enough", but keep spending almost 10k a year when only 1% are plat and above...
@Samuel Kim you no longer have blood. It is koolaid coarsing through your veins. 99.9% of people were skeptical as hell, I should've taken the hint sooner and realized they got it from minute one
@Samuel Kim I mean, I don't have to guess about the source of your credentials... a conman named Trevor. Continue having fun maintaining your platinum's way of life
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.
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 RUclips, 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 RUclips? 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips. 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.
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.
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 RUclips video. Message back on here if I need more help info
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 :)
It’s definitely not a scam. It’s a training system to help those achieve financial independence. Which is not an easy thing regardless what you decide to do. What many people fail to realize is that the only way you become successful is by helping your down line become successful. Plus you become a business owner and shop to support yourself instead of from multi billionaire, multi national corporation like Amazon.
What many people fail to realize is that the only way you become successful is by helping your down line become successful. Translation: I work hard to keep them in the scheme so that I don't loose the money they are getting me.
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 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
I’ve been doing this for 2.5 yrs and haven’t lost a dime. What she doesn’t tell you is that within 3 months your company pays for itself. There also isn’t a black box, no one uses cd’s
Congrats on being part of the 10% of people in MLMs who don't loose money. How many people have you recruited and financially harmed to stay where you are?
@@chaysejensen2638 is it true you get a commission when you get people registered under your IBO? I keep getting told “We don’t get anything for signing you up” I just want the truth.
Pretty hypocritical that you are making money on youtube warning people about your failed attempt at business ownership through WWDB and Amway. I was an insurance agency owner for 12 years and my overhead was $2,000 per month and there was no mentorship. I'm an IBO for less than $100 overhead per month. Sorry, but it's not the get rich quick deal you had hoped for. It's great products that you will buy and use yourself and if you don't like them there is 180 day money back guarantee. I didn't hear you talk about that? In the end, whatever business you go into, it's rarely a get rich quick opportunity. Your lack of willingness to do the work and grow yourself into a successful MLM business owner reflects more on you than the 60 year old company AAA rated by the Better Business Bureau. Additionally, Apple, Microsoft, Office Depot, Home Depot, Macys, Bed Bath and Beyond, Best Buy, and many more great companies sell their goods and product through the Amway website. You must be smarter than the BBB and all the lawyers employed but those great companies since they are willing to stand behind Amway. You failed and are bitter so here you go robbing others of an opportunity they may be successful at. Good luck making money off them with your get rich quick scam on youtube.
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.
Just like any business, you will pay to start and you won’t earn profit right away. You will work long hours and put in everything you have. It’s not meant for everyone. Best of luck on your endeavours.
Agreed, but I think Amway oversells how easy it is to get rich with them while giving the illusion that you're a business owner when actually you're just an independent contractor/customer.
I went to 3 meetings then to the Night Owl. It felt very cultist and told my mentor No Way starting this up. He was quite rude on oh you don't care to win, Amway will win without you. Glad I didn't put Any money into this!
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. 🤷🏽♀🤷🏽♀
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…
At the “big” functions, tickets sales far exceed 1 million dollars. I takes no genius to know who gets that cash. The big pins know this becomes common knowledge as newbies become accustomed. Many would continue, knowing about all this “stuff”, if they could make it too. However, market saturation occurred decades ago, and you just can’t sponsor in any meaningful way, because nearly all have been “prospected” before (or collide with those in other MLMs, who want you in their’s). You’re just beating a dead horse.
Someone made the joke about the glut of MLMers prowling social media nowadays. Inevitably 2 from different companies are unknowingly trying to hustle each other - "like two magicians trying to impress each other with magic tricks".
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!
@@nicholeh3025 I've had toxic employers as well but none nearly as bad as the toxicity in WWDB because they learn your life inside and out. Privacy is frowned upon and they use your weaknesses against you. And no, I lost a substantial amount of money with zero return on my investment over 3 years. Check out Ze and Melody! They describe in more detail what really happens behind closed doors in WWDB.
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 RUclips 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.
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'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.
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!!!
Everyone has the same opportunity. To win in anything you must learn from the best and do what they have done. Here’s the key to success everybody..it’s hard work.
CORE for 2 years straight, resulted in nothing but disillusionment, lost relationship, and being years behind others in my age group. 1% plat and above, costing 8k/year? That's the worst investment I've ever heard of
I founded my own non profit and have started/failed at starting 2 different companies. I was offered the WWD opportunity of a lifetime. I was wondering if you exclude WWD is Amway a decent program for a side hustle? I know you said only 48% make that but if I'm not paying out the wazoo for audio books and an app is it possible for me to be an amway member and get quality items for my family and get some close friends and family to buy from my store and I make a profit?
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
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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
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.
I was involved with them for 3 years. I was young and naive at the time. I had believed everything my "coach" had told me. Wish I had seen something like this back then. I wasted a lot of time and money with them. I never liked the whole secrecy part and never telling people what it is that I was trying to get someone involved with.
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

This is not for losers!!, this is for ppl, that won’t settle for mediocrity!!
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 ❤
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.
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!
Two rules for a happy life.. never buy a timeshare and never join an MLM
WWG was the best thing that ever happened to me. They teach you how to break out of your comfort zone. Be a first class citizen, learn people skills and create good habits in your life. The hardest thing was breaking out of my turtle shell(comfort zone). Now I definitely didn’t build the biggest amway business. But I directly applied all principles learned from WWG and grew a traditional small business that did 1.9 million in revenue last year. I would do it ALL over again if I had to. I’m sorry you didn’t have the greatest experience but I had a totally different one. Best of luck to you in your future endeavors 🤟
How come this has less likes than negative comments? 🤔
his just part of them and wants to convince you. its all bs. dont even waste your time. do what motivates you in life. you dont need to wwg bs
Mike Nazarian actually I found my purpose through leveraging WWG bro.. it’s just a tool to help you think. You don’t need to be part of the business
@@stoicg6970 there are books for that, and you learn by experience.
Mike Nazarian you don’t get it man. I was going through tough times and had nobody and it was thanks to these guys and self development helped me realize what I truest want in life. Not just WWG
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.
I just really fucking hate that someone pretended to be my friend in the middle of a pandemic just to sell me some shit.
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
WWDB/Amway changed mine and my wife's life literally, forever. We got out of $85k of debt in 3.5 years and just had our first baby. It replaced my wife's income, and it's on the way to replacing mine.
I feel bad for people who find this video (that only has partial truths) and then they opt out because they think this is the "truth". I've been around the organization for 7 years, and the leaders of World Wide have hearts of gold.
There's literally NO way you lost money. It's not lost if you apply the personal development to your life. Judging by the video, I assume that wasn't done.
Learn to value personal growth and you won't have to post hater videos to try to earn your audience in life.
Cheers,
Are u still in?
@@lethallines5898 of course
Amway and WWG didn't do shit. You took what you learned from manipulating and lying to people and applied it to pay off the debt. Saving money isn't a new revolutionary idea amway/wwg came up with. You just finally did it. You literally lose money. You spend more on the products, going to the stupid major functions, 22 dollars for a board plan twice a month, driving around and spending money on gas "out in the flow", the regional bullshit and the amount of time you spent walking around stores hunting people to scam them. I know of all of them and they're all greedy scam artists. Bill Hawkins and the bakers...it doesn't matter who. You're drinking their tea and you're literally being scammed of your money. If you hit eagle and above, you are manipulating so many people and lying to their faces when you say you care about them. She literally states in the video and breaks down on how much money you are "making". Your cost to profit is negative. Leave before you waste any more money. I've built this business pretty solid and I'm telling you, leave and save your money. Stop drinking the Kool aid. Your upline does not give a fuck about you and this really isn't your business. Fuck WWG and Fuck Amway. A leech disguised as a blessing. Such a dishonest and disgusting way to try and make money and scam people.
Fuck the functions and all the "this can change your life" bullshit. In order for you to even make money you have to have so many others not make any money. You are literally putting people in a worse spot. Ever since I left I have saved so much more money and my life has been so much more enjoyable and productive. And thank goodness it does not involve this scamway bullshit. Oh and fuck WWG again. Fake ass Puryears...if you are in it and reading this: Get out and run from these scum fucks. There is no miracle they are showing. I've been up there and built a solid business and everything your upline is telling you is bullshit and they just want your money...peace.
Here's the deal... Do you wanna start a business? Ok... What do you wanna sell? You're own handmade products? Setup a shoe store? Setup a restaurant? Setup a coffee shop? Setup a phone repair shop? So how much inventory do you need to buy? What equipment do you need to buy for your business? How big of a loan do I need to get started? What types of products in your inventory do you think you can sell easily? How much money will I lose on a monthly basis if I don't move my inventory? Who will your competitors be? Online competitors? Local competitors? If you startup a retail store thus you are sourcing your products from manufacturers, or distributors, do you still consider yourself an entrepreneur? After paying for the lease of your office space, employees, inventory, utilities and other business expenses, what will your profit margins be after you have to lower your prices to match your competitors? How will you handle returns in your store? I could go on...I think it's a good idea for anyone to consider the risks of starting up any business including those related to MLM. There are many MLM companies that provide quality comprehensive products with extensive money back guarantee. And setting up your own business requires you to self study on many things including accounting, business strategy, leadership and business management or else you can just learn through trial and error. Some MLMs provide you with professional development training that you can apply to your careers and other future non MLM business. Food for thought... Have a nice day.
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 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 went to a meeting tonight as a guest and it felt weird. Going into it I thought it was a pyramid scheme, but it felt down right cultish. The talk only confirmed that it was a pyramid scheme and I’m not naïve enough to get caught in amount of money they said I would make. This vid has confirmed that I will tell my mentor tomorrow that I will not go through with anymore of the recruitment process.
Good Luck taking the blue pill.
I literally just got back home from a meeting and it felt very culty. One person literally told me to stop talking to my relatives and friends if they said anything negative about the business. As soon as I got through my door I decided to do some investigating on Amway and within 15 minutes I came to the same conclusion as you.
Dude the same thing happen to me lol
Good. Protect your friends and make sure they don't fall for this scam!
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?
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
Taking advice from someone who failed and gave up on something based off a bad experience, negative perspective, and misinformation... I could never
Amway is crap
A bunch of Indians are running it.
The CEO is from india lol
Its a cult and a bad environment to stay in.

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.
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.
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.
Back in the '90's, I joined AMWAY and saw that their products were way more than what you'd pay at a regular store. I also hated the fact that you had to pay a ton of money to get the tapes, etc, etc. I went to a weekend meeting which I found ridiculous. You sat in a room for hours on end without a break. In fact, it was nothing more than an hours long pep rally. By time you got out, you were exhausted. I went home the next day. I quit AMWAY soon after that. After seeing this videos and others, I'm GLAD I quit. What a waste of TIME AND MONEY. Avoid this at ALL COSTS.
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 lost my car with this company. I'm better off with a great paying job where I'm happy 😁
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.
Quick question whats your income a month and what qualifies you to talk about a billion dollars business and make videos about it who you think will listen to you if your not a business analyst
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.
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!!!! 💚

I really enjoyed your very detailed informative brake-down of WORLDWIDE DREAM BUILDERS and AMWAY.
It sounds like you’re not used to hard work and didn’t have your mindset shifted from employee to business owner. Everything in life is a pyramid, including a job. This video was a waste of my time. The vibe I got is from a lazy person frustrated that things didn’t work the way they wanted
Amen.
Everything is shaped like a pyramid, not everything is a pyramid scheme. Why don’t you see Subway franchisees constantly having to defend that they aren’t in a pyramid scheme.
Incredible company, why doesn’t everyone at the gym lose weight?.......
Yup
Technical its a pyramid scheme. I'm a small business owner so I understand how all this works. But to continue the reference. If I am going to go to the gym (cost of operations/startup costs) and workout (my hard work) and then get asked for more money for a trainer (percentage of working with another group) to see results. I could see why she would be upset. You can go to the gym and do the work without the trainer and still see progress.
Im not hating on WWG. I am excited to sit down with my WWG contact and see if there is something they offer for actual business owners. If the service they offer will actually help me grow my business then great.
Probably because they do not put in the effort. They do not want to make the sacrifices that are necessary to lose weight.
Probably because gyms just ask you for money every month expecting you to figure it out and the only way they will actually help you personally is if you give them more money for a personal mentor.
@@JRMiraclemanyou poor sheep
Worldwide was good with mentorship and coaching. Amway on the other hand was terrible. What I also disliked was when you ask people in the business in if they're close to financial freedom, they would dodge the question. They have good intentions, but definitely not an MLM I'd ever do again.
"You wouldn't believe it if I told ya." 😉
Here after the spring conference and all I can say is yeah, they are totally bull. Every meeting and audiobook is exactly the same and doesn’t teach you anything but fake motivational garbage. Glad I had only been apart of this cult for a few days before I left. I feel sorry for anybody that gets sucked in for the rest of their working lives.
I got recruited by my own personal banker in Tri-Cities, WA. My recruiter was Rosio Cardoza, she worked at a Keybank Richland, WA. I went in to deposit my check one day and I notice she was unusually nice. She was just coming with the compliments and being extra interested. She's such a great actor and she knows how to turn it on. She was a personal banker recruiting a a bank. Recruiting its customers. Do you know how wrong, how much of violation that is. The business is such bullshit. Constant brainwashing and manipulation on a deep visceral level. Do you wanna be free? Change your association, screw your friends and family members, they dot understand. plug into your upline, listen to audios, drop a Kate, drop the message, lol.
That is so wrong!!! It’s truly disgusting the level these people go just because they are so brainwashed!!! I’m glad you got out!!
@@MarthaReyes You are awesome Martha. And beautiful as well. For someone to take the time to produce youtube videos about the scam that is WWDB/Amway takes a lot. A lot of people are in your shoes and do nothing after the fact. You're being vulnerable, brave, and courageous. Helping others. Your videos are presented with facts and you speak so clearly. You are very articulate. I support you all the Martha.
@@jaylen8822 Amway corporation isn't connected to wwg. Maybe you're confused?
@@ed7519 I took from this that wwg is the scam not necessarily amway
There is nothing wrong with being nice to people. If people were nicer to people more of the time, and tried to help people more, this world would be a better place. Gratitude for an opportunity to do something bigger and better than what the world generally offers it's something that we all could use. I wish everyone well and whatever they do. Anything worth wild goes to considerable effort.
Yeah, I’ll vouch for you. I did Amway for 6 months and I got out. It felt like a cult. Members seemed to have a blind devotion to it as if this was the only way to be successful. I didn’t like having to in a sense sucker people into my down line. They would always tell me to invite someone to those weekly meetings but I couldn’t tell them what it was exactly. I was already working 2 jobs and going to school and they wanted more from me but it wasn’t realistic. I was initially told that I just had to put some initial work in but after that the products would sell themselves. Not true. To be successful in Amway requires a lot of your time. You won’t get far if it’s just a side gig. You’ll end up spending more than what you make(if anything really). You also have to have a salesman personality which I don’t to do this line of work. When I told my up line that I was out he didn’t take it well and said it was like “ending a relationship “ and told me “ you need to get your head out of your butt.” I was not compelled to continue after that.
Just went to a meeting last night and thought it sounded like a honest pyramid scheme.
Literally same here except I got out right after I "earned my membership," went to the first (and only) in person meeting in town, and saw first hand what it was really about. My "coach" started going off on a mindless tirade and yappin about how I was "a failure in life to my future self and family and haven't accomplished anything" and that's when I knew I made the right decision to quit lol. I've seen delusion but Acting like amway/ltd is the end all be all for success was something else, and dude really tried to talk me out of doing youtube💀💀
Anyways I let dude know how I really felt about him over text before I blocked his number for good. Never been more free and happier in my life
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.
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.
When you partner with a company don't you just directly deal with them? Amway is Amway, WWDB is WWDB.
World Wide Dream Builders is a division of Amway. It has been for a long time
WWDB is the coaching and mentoring side of our business and amway is the business opportunity!
@@Travistrejo True. They are separate companies and have nothing to do with each other.
It's not a selling business, it's a buyers business. It's NOT Amway the company that is the problem, it's usually the people you might involve yourself with. What this company offers has changed countless lives. Remember, Amway is NOT the people and the people are NOT Amway. There are building practices and principles to make a person a success using the Amway vehicle, a proven fact. Also a proven fact if you are not taught, do not follow or unwilling to learn the building practises and principles, you have no drive desire or want a change you will eventually quit. This business is so simple stupid, it's (pro)sumerism not (con)sumerism. The majority of society will barely be getting by when they reach their senior years because they did not realize or just did not have the resilience to create for themselves other streams of income, alternative passive income. Look at your bank account, savings, retirement plan. Wake up people, you're losing.
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......
Wow! You are focusing on the wrong stuff. Like any business you need to focus on volume and salesmanship and in this case, doing it in just a few hours per week. Check out what a Ruby makes in even 20 hours per week and then show me another job where you can make that kind of coin part time.
Brad, I'm sorry pal, but most of the money is coming from retail purchases of downline distributors. Amway products are predominantly purchased by Amway distributors.
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
Thank You so much for your RUclips 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 RUclips channel. I really can't Thank you enough. I currently subscribed to your RUclips channel and really looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thank You!!
Good job Martha! Not only is there a .03% chance to make diamond you still have to work to keep the diamondship or you can lose it. Plus those people aren’t as rich as they claim to be.
Exactly! It’s so mind blowing!
Every company has to keep working to keep the business success or else they lose their business. How do you think companies like Apple are still successful after all these years.
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!
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!
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.
My sister is in this cult like mlm. All she does is try to sell stuff at family gatherings.
I was part of them, paid to be a member and have our own social media play form and a messenger/ audio called Kate. After 2 months I cancelled my membership cause I’m loosing money instead. They even told me to look for another job that pays better so I can buy more products from anyway and that will lead to more passive income.
Do you have $50. 0000 dlls , to start a as business??,don’t think so!, every business requires investment!!!, this is such a small amount, for what we received, we don’t loose $, have to spend it anyway.
@NOrna ATTRIDGE but if you did spend 50000 dollars to start a business it would be 100 percent your business
I just searched for “is WWDB still active,” and I came upon this video.
It’s been over 15 years since I left.
I find it interesting to see that it is indeed still active and they are still up to their tactics to make money off hardworking people.
Thanks for making your video. I wish I had this type of information. Back then you just had to take their word for it and “trust” them to “help” 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!!
Excuse me! How is 600.00 a lot a money to begin your journey as a business owner to much money? Franchises start at 1 mil and upward. Explain this please?
Because you’re not a business owner, you’re a glorified salesman
Because you have a .003% chance of even making any money!
What results did you create, from work you did?
just 6 months? How many times did you show the business plan?
2 years being CORE, family has collectively put in over 20 years. It's garbage, and lack of results is "you not trying hard enough", but keep spending almost 10k a year when only 1% are plat and above...
@Samuel Kim you no longer have blood. It is koolaid coarsing through your veins. 99.9% of people were skeptical as hell, I should've taken the hint sooner and realized they got it from minute one

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 🙏🏼
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 RUclips, 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 RUclips? 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips 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 RUclips. 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

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
It’s definitely not a scam. It’s a training system to help those achieve financial independence. Which is not an easy thing regardless what you decide to do. What many people fail to realize is that the only way you become successful is by helping your down line become successful. Plus you become a business owner and shop to support yourself instead of from multi billionaire, multi national corporation like Amazon.

Pretty hypocritical that you are making money on youtube warning people about your failed attempt at business ownership through WWDB and Amway. I was an insurance agency owner for 12 years and my overhead was $2,000 per month and there was no mentorship. I'm an IBO for less than $100 overhead per month. Sorry, but it's not the get rich quick deal you had hoped for. It's great products that you will buy and use yourself and if you don't like them there is 180 day money back guarantee. I didn't hear you talk about that? In the end, whatever business you go into, it's rarely a get rich quick opportunity. Your lack of willingness to do the work and grow yourself into a successful MLM business owner reflects more on you than the 60 year old company AAA rated by the Better Business Bureau. Additionally, Apple, Microsoft, Office Depot, Home Depot, Macys, Bed Bath and Beyond, Best Buy, and many more great companies sell their goods and product through the Amway website. You must be smarter than the BBB and all the lawyers employed but those great companies since they are willing to stand behind Amway.

I went to 3 meetings then to the Night Owl. It felt very cultist and told my mentor No Way starting this up. He was quite rude on oh you don't care to win, Amway will win without you. Glad I didn't put Any money into this!
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. 🤷🏽♀🤷🏽♀
Britt World Wide is in the US
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!
At the “big” functions, tickets sales far exceed 1 million dollars. I takes no genius to know who gets that cash.
The big pins know this becomes common knowledge as newbies become accustomed. Many would continue, knowing about all this “stuff”, if they could make it too. However, market saturation occurred decades ago, and you just can’t sponsor in any meaningful way, because nearly all have been “prospected” before (or collide with those in other MLMs, who want you in their’s). You’re just beating a dead horse.
Someone made the joke about the glut of MLMers prowling social media nowadays. Inevitably 2 from different companies are unknowingly trying to hustle each other - "like two magicians trying to impress each other with magic tricks".

BrynBlk same here
I was sucked into their system for 3 years of my life and it's incredibly toxic.
OMG! Same here! Exactly!
Did you make money? Toxic has been my experience in all of my employment. So unfortunately that isn’t something I run from.
@@nicholeh3025 I've had toxic employers as well but none nearly as bad as the toxicity in WWDB because they learn your life inside and out. Privacy is frowned upon and they use your weaknesses against you. And no, I lost a substantial amount of money with zero return on my investment over 3 years. Check out Ze and Melody! They describe in more detail what really happens behind closed doors in WWDB.
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 RUclips 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.
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'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
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?
Everyone has the same opportunity. To win in anything you must learn from the best and do what they have done. Here’s the key to success everybody..it’s hard work.
CORE for 2 years straight, resulted in nothing but disillusionment, lost relationship, and being years behind others in my age group. 1% plat and above, costing 8k/year? That's the worst investment I've ever heard of
I founded my own non profit and have started/failed at starting 2 different companies. I was offered the WWD opportunity of a lifetime. I was wondering if you exclude WWD is Amway a decent program for a side hustle? I know you said only 48% make that but if I'm not paying out the wazoo for audio books and an app is it possible for me to be an amway member and get quality items for my family and get some close friends and family to buy from my store and I make a profit?
Amway is separate from WWDB. You can join Amway without WWDB.
Modern Day Miyagi it actually is, I’m currently in the business and my family buys the products from me
Yes, you can tbh sell the iteams without the bs, but what you want to do is just do that
