Callender, Wayne & Suzanne Amway
Most days, weather permitting, the first sound you'll hear as you approach Wayne and Suzanne's lovely home, is the rhythmic thumping of a tennis ball. After looking at numerous properties, the tennis court on this property was what sealed the deal for Wayne. Wayne says, "Suzanne and I entered the yard first." I didn't even have to go into the building! '
The focus Wayne brings to his tennis game, he also brings to his Quixtar business. He and Suzanne know precisely what it takes to start a successful business. 'I ask people three questions, says Wayne.' What are they hoping to achieve? When do they want it? What would they be willing to sacrifice or delay for it? Three tells me how serious they are about questions one and two.
Wayne and Suzanne were willing to give up plenty to get their Quixtar business started. When he was young, Wayne moved to New York City. Suzanne was born in Jamaica, and moved to the U.S. for a job in the airline industry, where she met Wayne. Both had successful, lucrative airline careers. They saw each other very little. They both worked at the airlines but came to resent their hectic lifestyle after they were married. Then came the day the airline sent memos to all employees about possible layoffs. The first child was born, which jeopardised both of their jobs. Suddenly, their new Quixtar business shot to the front.
When Wayne and Suzanne first saw the Quixtar business plan, they considered it a side-hustle. Now, they were inspecting closely. Once they began their Quixtar business, Wayne began to look at his job in a different light. He began to relax. His attitude completely changed. Many asked, 'What happened to upset you?' It was because I knew I would never have to work there again. I had options.
To ensure a better future, Wayne and Suzanne began making sacrifices. Free time was devoted to their enterprise. No TV. No family trips. Less tennis. They focused on growing and building, and connecting. So we'd meet folks everywhere, claims Suzanne. It's at playgrounds, tennis matches, and everywhere! From there, the opportunity arose readily.
As a result, Suzanne quit her job, and after that, Wayne also decided to leave the job scene. Before I retired, my boss inquired about the business. I decided to sponsor him! '
A large number of the Callender's downline are West Indian heritage. Many people discuss inequality, says Wayne. As a result, one has an equal opportunity to be unequal.
A great challenge is to watch people lose their hopes. They believe they can do it, and we know they can.
Wayne and Suzanne keep the enthusiasm and excitement high in their group. The Platinums dine every year in style and every year they throw a lavish picnic for all of the other employees. Special recognition is due to them, adds Suzanne with a smile.
Her other lessons from stage involve learning about motivating. Even before she was confident, she was extremely reserved. She prepares her notes beforehand, but she disregards them once she is on stage and speaks from the heart. It has fans.'
'We don't really need to take vacations anymore' claims Suzanne. This job allows us to live in different places." '
My goal in the corporate world was to reach the top of the ladder. Then, I noticed the managers' lifestyles. I was looking for a better balance in my life, including more time with my family.
Family is their whole world. They have two teenage sons, Justin and Brandon, and 'Mr. Jason, three years old. Being home with her family is the finest aspect of this job for Suzanne. Their family surrounds them, they feel encouraged by their downline, and they are proud of their business.
