Happy Canada Day!
Today is Canada’s 143rd birthday and such its always nice to reflect about this amazing country that we live in. As a special treat to this Canada Day, Queen Elizabeth II was present in Ottawa for the celebration which is always a pretty cool sight. However the Prime Minster just looks as awkward as always. He just isn’t a people person that’s for sure and it shows.
I think we as Canadians and as North American’s take living in this country for granted. We have such amazing freedoms that many many countries do not have and we need to constantly take a step back and recognize that. We also live in a country that supports Free Enterprise which allows us the ability to own our own business which to no surprise is part of what this blog is about. That’s one freedom a lot of countries do not have and we are very fortunate.
So enjoy this 143rd Canada Day whatever you are doing!
Why I am a World Wide Dreambuilder
A lot of people I’ve talked to, mostly friends or acquaintances have asked me a few different main questions. Why are you doing this? Will you be successful? Isn’t that going to be a lot of work? and a lot of other related first type of questions. Every time I hear those questions it reminds me of why I’ve joined such an amazing organization called World Wide Dreambuilders. I joined because first of all I have a dream… no actually… I have A LOT of dreams. When I look deep down and think to myself is the current vehicle that I’m in going to allow me the chance to explore those dreams? To be quite honest no it won’t. Maybe the very small dreams. But what about the BIG dreams? Does your current vehicle allow you the ability to live those big dreams you have? I highly doubt it and if you can then I respect that however a lot of people never do get to experience their dreams. We have one life to live and I’m going to explore any opportunity that will allow me to live my dreams to the fullest.
So you might ask, well what kind of dreams are you talking about? Well I’ll give you a few sample dreams that I have that I don’t mind sharing:
- First and foremost I want my wife to be able to raise our children at home and not stick our kids in a daycare or day home. Why should she dress up for another man and then come home and put on her lulu’s for me?
- We want to get out of debt and stop paying for things with credit.
- We want to be able to take our family on a family reunion somewhere nice and pay for it cash.
- We want to spend more time with our family and less time working for someone who doesn’t care about our family
- We want to travel the world and show our kids the world
- We want to spend good quality time with our kids and give them the best of our day, not the worst of our day when we come home from a job
- We want to be able to give more to the charities that matter to us.
These are just some of the dreams we have that we will be able to fulfill and make happen by being associated with World Wide Dreambuilders.
See I’m sick and tired of being sick and tired of being sick and tired of being sick and tired of being broke. No I’m not saying broke as in I cannot afford to live in our house or make our car payment but I’m saying being broke to the point where can you put 1 paycheque in the drawer and not spend it? How about a full months salary and not spend it? Could you do it? If you are 100% honest I bet you you cannot do that. 85% of the population lives like this, pay cheque to pay cheque and have little savings. If you were laid off tomorrow how long could you make your payments on your house, car, utilities? Think about it.
Now having said all that can you see why maybe I’d want to put a hard honest effort into something that could free me of that? At least free my wife of that? Give myself, my wife and my kids a better life? Why WOULDN’T you want to at least TRY that. Does this take some scarifies and some hard work? You bet it does, but doesn’t the end justify the means? Think about it.
What are you willing to sacrifice or give up to give your kids and family a better life?
Do I think this is the only business that can do that? Yes. Show me a better business that can do this, show me a better way and I’ll look at it. But I’ll tell you what, you won’t find it. Show me a company that is putting over 60 million dollars in incentives back into your pockets, you can’t. Show me a company that instead of cutting back advertising and marketing is actually increasing that by 500 million dollars CASH. You can’t.
So why do I do this? I do this because I believe this is the right vehicle that will make those dreams I listed above come true. What vehicle are you in that can do that?
Think about it…
Free Enterprise Day 3
Today is the final day of Free Enterprise Days here in Portland. It’s been an amazingly long eye opening weekend filled with emotion and motivation. Listening to speakers that have been freed by this business is very uplifting and motivational. I believe it’s one of the major reasons why this event is held.
The last day today will be the one I’ve been looking forward to the most. I also got a taste of things to come last night when I listened to Brad Duncan speak briefly about his experiences. Today he will speak a bit longer and close out the Free Enterprise conference. Brad is an amazing speaker and really just speaks to the truth with no bullshit. You don’t have to be in the business to listen to Brad, just listening to how he speaks about his life is enough to get you motivated about anything. However, if you want the type of life he has then it takes a bit of work and determination to follow the guidelines this business has set out. Can you make a lot of money? Yes. But more importantly can you show others how to be free and make a lot of money, and from what I’ve seen this weekend, the answer is simple. YES
I just wanted to write a bit here before I have to pack up and go eat some breakfast. I’m really pumped for this afternoon so I’m just going to get ready for it
Before I do go, one cool thing that you should also be pumped for is the fact Brad Duncan is going to be coming to Edmonton to speak. That is not something that happens very often. This guy is a Crown Triple Diamond and has taken a very specific interest in Edmonton because of how fast and powerful this area of Canada is. I highly recommend you make it to this event anyway possible.
Free Enterprise Day 2
Just to let you know I am NOT in the business at all at this point. My wife is the one at this time that is full ahead with the business. I am here at Free Enterprise Days to support my wife and to get a better understanding of what this business is about, what can be achieved, and how to be free. I’m updating and maintaining this blog so that I can record how things are going good or bad.
Having been at the sessions all day today I can tell you I sure am motivated and excited just from a guest point of view. I can see why the people that are actually in the business go to these events as they can help recharge, rejuvenate and help you focus on the goals that you have set out for yourself. I totally get that. It also helps you get around people who are higher then you which are referred to as “uplines”. These people are where they are because they have worked hard and persevered when people have shot them down or said “this isn’t for me”.
Now there is one thing that bugs me about being down here and at this event which I could do without. It’s not really about the business but more about the attitude of the American people. They are VERY patriotic in an arrogant way. It just amazes me the differences between Canadian and American culture and really how different we are even though we are on the same continent. I don’t get much into it just that it turns me off when I have to listen to propaganda that is not always true.
Either way the Free Enterprise System is why we are here this weekend and to listen to how people have made successes from this system. To say I am not excited for what my wife is doing would be a lie. Having heard two people on the stage from the same city I’m from (Edmonton, Alberta) really excites me because I know the team that my wife is on will only get better and have great success. This successes wouldn’t be possible without the help of the Amway Global company. Yeah yeah I said the word Amway. OOoooOOOooooh! Let me give you a few quick stats about Amway and what type of company they are. I’ll go into more details on Amway in another post but I’ll give you this to think about.![]()
- Amway made 8.2 Billion dollars this previous year
- Amway is in 80 different countries
- Amway just celebrated 50 years in business
- Amway is a 100% debt free company
- Amway has no stocks or shareholders
If this is such a bad and “illegal” company then how is it still in business with stats like that in an economy such as this??

I’ll write more later about Amway and how its incorporated here however Amway and it’s products are only the method to all of this. The main goals here is providing mentorship, and building dreams so that we can become free.
That’s all for now. Thanks for reading…
