      At the beginning when I was told about it everything seemed normal but after I paid money and started taking the course I came to know that it is not made for me. For me it sounds like pyramid scheme now. If possible m looking for refunds.

      I have read many of the reviews written here. Most of the complaints are from people who were looking for a way to get rich quickly. There is no such thing. It all comes down to understanding. Not enough questions were asked in order to fully understand. Then the individual felt tricked. I have been with WFG for some time now. It is everything I thought it was and hoped it was. There is so much training, help, and support every step of the way. Yes, there can be a lot of hype and excitement, and I get it. But I own my own license, which means I own my own business. I get to run my business the way I want. But I still have all the training and support and backing I need to run a successful business and help families into a better financial position. For those who have had a bad experience, I'm sorry you didn't connect with someone who could explain everything to your understanding. This business is like any other business. It takes work. Scams don't usually have you get state licensed or get a complete background check or comply with federal and state regulations. It's a great business opportunity for someone who wants to put in the work in order to reap the rewards of business ownership.

      Got sweet talked into paying the $125 for background check and $35 for study materials to take a test that anyone could take to become a financial agent/broker. When a companys website starts off by explaining why its not an MLM/pyramid scheme, thats already huge red flag. Theyre constantly trying to explain themselves on why theyre not like other MLMs. IULs are not the only way to financial freedom, and they guilt trip you by saying how much this business helps families. I would like to request a refund asap! Still cant believe I got tricked.

      Before I started at WFG, I worked as a technician in the telecommunications industry. I worked long hours, unpaid overtime and still struggled to pay my bills. I knew I wanted better, and that my family and I deserved better. But I wasn't sure how I was going to make it happen. After being introduced to this company, I saw the opportunity as a great way to at least learn about finance. I like the idea of owning my own business but I wasn't confident it was for **** got my license after being introduced to the firm in about 4 months. This was around late August 2020. Things had gotten worse with my job and I decided to quit my job and pursue a career in finance at WFG full-time. Let me make it clear, this was not suggested to me. I took the initiative to take an extravagant leap of faith because I was determined to do something different to give myself and my family a chance.I don't get the negativity around building a list and talking to people that you know. I don't get the negativity around the business model. If you are looking for an opportunity I hope you seek out one that works and I can say with absolute certainty that this business model at WFG works. You may not understand it, you may not like it but not everyone understands you or like you. I hope you get my point.Today, I am a proud senior broker with the firm. We have helped and continue to help many families since being here. If you are looking for a great company where you can build a successful firm for you and your family, WFG is the place to do it. The coaching, mentorship, training opportunities, and associations here are world-class. Don't allow the fear of the unknown to allow you rush to make premature judgements. This is an entirely new endeavor and the learning curve can be quite step. However, if you are willing to learn and grow your mindset, you have the best chance of winning. All the best!

      I've been in the company going on two years now. I haven't made anything, all my family and friends advised me it was to good to be true, or just a scam. I didn't listen though, I continued to play the game and learn as much as i could about the business. In the time period of me being in the business I've invested so much. I haven't actually learned much how money works other than learning the rule of 72 and the different brackets that get taxed. You get pressed to make calls, told that you should join events even when you don't have enough to get by yourself. They tell you the first thing you need to do is get insurance the moment after you sign up for the team. Some people in the business are actually genuine others have greed. I've invest more than 3k and haven't seen a return. So I Advise everyone to hear my message and think about it deeply how you feel about doing the job. Think about how your leader makes you feel, if they empower you or give you in it for themselves vibes

      In my own journey with WFG, I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact it has had on individuals and families alike. From helping young professionals kickstart their savings journey to guiding retirees through the complexities of estate planning, WFG's holistic approach to financial wellness has touched lives in ways that extend far beyond mere monetary gains.What truly sets WFG apart, however, is its unwavering dedication to empowering individuals from all walks of life to achieve financial independence. Through a comprehensive suite of financial products and services, coupled with unparalleled training and mentorship programs, WFG equips its associates with the knowledge, tools, and support needed to succeed in the competitive world of finance.I have met the founders and they are of high caliber and character. These bad reviews have no merit.

      WFG is a company that makes sure that listens to you and gets to tailor your needs accordingly so that what you get is suitable and affordable. The fact that they take time to explain as much as possible and answer your questions so that you understand what best suits your situation is awesome. Many of these folks who are writing negatively reviews might have never been able to pass their licensing exams or are just lazy folks who thought that WFG was a place where free money is distributed. You have to put in the work needed to make the money you want. It is a business. It is not a charity.
