Free Enterprise Day 2

FED 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-logo

 

  • 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…

So what's this all about?

wwdb Now that I’ve introduced myself I’ll talk a bit about what I’m going to blog about here and what my involvement is with this business that is always controversial.  My wife started with World Wide Group back in May of this year and I was quite skeptical when she was telling me what she was getting into.  Naturally I had concerns and needed answers.  So where did I look?  The Internet.  Well I sure found a ton of information and a lot of it was bad, I mean really bad.  So my skepticism grew and tensions with my wife grew as well because she was interested in this but I was saying hey read this, read that.  After a bit I said I want to meet these people you are associating with so I can either feel more comfortable or say lets run for the hills.  (I will not be posting peoples names, maybe fake ones if need be)

Now don’t get me wrong, I trust my wife 100% and know she wouldn’t do anything stupid or put us at risk.  I just wanted to meet the people she was associating with so they know that I have questions and have concerns.  I did further research and formed questions that I wanted answers for.  When I met this couple my back went up immediately and I was guarded.  I wanted them to know I was very skeptical and wasn’t going to let them off easy.  I ended up listening to what they had to say and what my wife was getting into.  I also asked my questions and got a few answers that put my mind at ease with some of it.  In the end I have to trust my wife and let her do what she is passionate about.

There was one thing in all of this that put my mind at ease a bit and it was the fact the team that my wife was going to join had some former Lululemon managers on it.  Why did this help put my mind at ease?  Because Lululemon stands for a lot of good core values which are not commonly found in a lot of businesses.  Core values such as quality, integrity, balance, entrepreneurship, greatness, and fun.  Its these core values that the team my wife is joining has and with that puts my mind a bit at ease.lululemonSo it’s now October and my wife has been apart of this business for 5 months now.  I have not really been invested in what she does, she runs her own business and I support her in anyway I can.  However I’d like to support her more now and want to understand exactly what she is doing and what she plans to get out of this.  I’ve attended a few meetings and met more people that are part of her team and all seem like normal people.  I mean they are just like us, how can they NOT be normal?

FED

I think the best way to fully understand what my wife is getting into and the community of people she is associating with is to attend what is called Free Enterprise Day “FED”.  What is this about?  This event focuses on patriotism, freedom, and the rewards that can be obtained from living in a country founded on the Free Enterprise System.  Free Enterprise is defined as:

An economic system characterized by private ownership of property and productive resources, the profit motive to stimulate production, competition to ensure efficiency, and the forces of supply and demand to direct the production and distribution of goods and services.

Is there anything wrong with that?  Nope, that’s how 99% of private business’s operate.

Anyway I’m really hoping to get some good information out of this weekend to share with everyone and I will continue to share more about what I’m experiencing here with this business my wife is in (World Wide Group).  I’m not going to be feeding you Kool-Aid because that’s not what I’m about.  If I find something that is fishy they I will report it.  If I find something that’s good, then I’ll report that as well.
