The opportunity is exploding in Canada and specifically within Western Canada as we are now getting full fledged function sites and numbers keep going up.  There is even talk of Free Enterprise Day conference coming to Alberta next year which will be very cool.

Seems to be the negativity on this opportunity is really next to nothing as rarely come across anyone who has a negative view of Amway.  When I do, it always comes down to a person and not the company or opportunity.  This is an opportunity of working with people and sometimes people with lack of integrity or looking for that “get rich quick” slip through the cracks. 

So moving forward I’ll probably blog a few times a year however there just isn’t a reason to continually post every week.  For those looking at this opportunity and stumble across this blog, just make sure you ask all your questions before you are extended an offer. 

Best of luck in whatever you find yourself doing!

Its growing… I remember three years ago a room like this was only 200 people. Amway and WWDB in Alberta and Western Canada are booming!

Edmonton Alberta now welcomes Dean and Marcie Whalen as new World Wide Dreambuilders Diamonds in the Amway business.

Stay tuned. Pics to follow.

Again this Amway “thing” isn’t going anywhere it’s only getting stronger because of the growth and available opportunity to everyone.  Congrats!

We’re both really looking forward to the holidays and visiting both sides of our family. I hope all of you are enjoying the holidays visiting with friends, family and loved ones.  Enjoy this beautiful time of year and let all the worries from the past 11 months drift away, just enjoy the moment.

Wishing you a safe and prosperous holiday season.  Merry Christmas!

The lid has been lifted and there will be more Diamonds coming.  This Alberta and Canada market is growing like I’ve been saying for the last few years and this is the preverbal “proof is in the pudding”.  So to all our beloved Critics… told you so.

Congrats Whalen’s!

It was apparent by the sold out crowd at the INB Performing Arts Centre in Spokane that people are excited that Leslie has her own Family Reunion.  I should say sold out crowd along with 200+ people in the holding room as we busted through the seams.  It’s no secret that Family Reunion is one of the lowest attended functions but the vibe was overwhelming.  I think now that Leslie has her own family reunion it shows the gaps that need to be filled in Brad Duncan’s Family Reunion where the majority of Canadians were at Leslie’s.  It also creates some excitement for Leslie’s organization to grow now that Brad’s organization isn’t over shadowing Leslie’s.  All of this is good news and will help foster further growth. 

A lot of people shared that while they may not necessarily be where they want to be in business, they know exactly why that is and now exactly how to fix it.  Like we always say to people that are going through the process and people we’ve gone into business with, this takes work.  If you do the work you will succeed and it’s proven each and every single time.  Along with the transparency theme, we are not where we wanted to be obviously and while we know exactly why we are where we are, we know what we must do to move on.  Having been to Leslie’s Family Reunion, it’s inspired me almost like a new business owner (IBO).  Showing up to the Family Reunion we had no idea where to go, where the Eagle/Double Eagle line up was, where to pick up our badges, etc…So I went in with that attitude and opened up my heart and mind and let the function inspire, uplift and motivate me.

Functions are designed to teach in some areas but also uplift and motivate and it’s everything both my wife and I needed this time around.  I find you always get what you need at a function and that’s the beauty of it.  I hope those who went this year got what they wanted and they go and grow between now and FED 2012!

Attached are a few pictures of what was an awesome function

As most will know by following a long, World Wide Dreambuilders has four major functions a year.  This time of year is Family Reunion and what makes this year even more special is Leslie Wolgamont has her very own Family Reunion.  This is awesome because World Wide Group doesn’t create extra functions without growth and this is a true sign that Leslie’s business is growing, at least in our area.  No doubt about it as we have a couple of emeralds getting ready to hit Diamond Qualification.

I always find little nuggets from every function that helps me surge ahead or overcome things going on in our business.  You’ll never get everything out of a function, just like you never get everything out of a business conference most of you are used to.  I find the best way to prepare is figure out the 3-5 things you want to get out of the function and focus on that.  I am very excited to hear what the Wagners and Whalens have to say as they are obviously in our direct upline and are just going nuts right now with growth. If I can grab a fraction of what they know and apply it, it will only help us continue to grow.

I’m sure a few less than positive posts will come out on other sites and that’s fine.  I can tell you this, they will have no idea (as will I) what this year’s Family Reunion will be about or how its even done since no new Family Reunions have been done in at least 5 years.  I’ll give a summary recap once the weekend is over.  Safe drive/travel/flight’s to those who are making the trek to Spokane, Washington.
