Leigh & Cathy McCulloch joined Amway sometime around 1993 (they had earned platinum in September 1993). (they had reached platinum in September 1993). In 2004 they reached the status of Diamond. They live in Victoria and are members of the McKenna LOS.
SUCCESS STORY
For 25 years Leigh was deeply established in the corporate business sector. Leigh stated, “I was pretty much at desperation point, we couldn’t work much harder than we were, we had seven full or part time jobs between us, just trying to survive”. The business opportunity came around, from a guy at Leigh’s work, then Leigh looked at it from every perspective and felt, compared to a whole variety of other choices he was looking at that, ”this was the best possibility with the lowest risk he had seen”. Leigh understood that one day he may be on the ‘wrong side’ of a business merger and had been actively seeking for a means for he a Cathy to centralise their labour, earn the same money, but not continually putting in such a large effort. From his corporate accounting expertise, Leigh even ran a Dunn & Bradstreet check on Amway and found they had the highest rating of any firm in the world!
As you could imagine, for Cathy, time was originally a significant concern. As she adds, “I wasn’t very keen on getting engaged because I was already busy with our four children and all the committees I was associated with, plus work. Leigh has always been an excellent time manager but I was absolutely not”.
The accomplishment they have attained is clearly worth the effort. As Leigh adds, “I look at it like this - most people are bound by time and money as to what they can do and when they can do it. That is not an issue for us anymore. We now have options, which, in my opinion, is exactly how life should be.” The pleasure of winning as a member of a team has always appealed to Leigh, and being involved in this business provided him with the same feeling of accomplishment. According to Leigh, "It's fantastic to be a part of other people's achievements right now."
In his remarks, Leigh points out that the training and development system has been a crucial component of their success. In addition to CDs from people who have "been there, done that," books to assist me in growing on the inside, functions to instil confidence, and advice from mentors, we have gained knowledge and confidence in a variety of aspects of our lives. “We are just regular folks who have been able to achieve tremendous things in this business,” Cathy continues. As a result, we serve as a fantastic example to people all around the world, demonstrating that anything is possible and that you can achieve your goals.”
“There is no better model for manufacturers and service providers to get their goods to market,” Leigh says, referring to the way our business model is currently positioned in the marketplace and the fact that it has been able to adapt to substantial changes in technology over time. Taking part in the transformation of the market is an exciting prospect!”
