Story of Success
Raj and Sangita Shah both grew up in Gujarat, India, in working-class homes. Sangita arrived in the United States with her parents as a teenager in 1978. She went to Rutgers University after high school and received a degree in accounting and finance. Raj earned his master's degree in business in Baroda, India, then moved to Cleveland State University in December 1982 to pursue another master's degree in computer science.
Raj and Sangita met in the United States and married in October 1988 in New Jersey. Raj and Sangita were both working for the same company when Sangita's parents, Mahendra and Ranjan Soni, approached them about starting a business in 1990. Raj was a software engineer, and Sangita was an accountant. They had a good combined professional salary and all the benefits, but Raj despised the nine-to-five schedule.
Raj had always wanted to run his own company, be his own boss, and give his wife the option of being a full-time mother once they had children. They saw this company as a means of realising their ambitions. Raj and Sangita did not recognise the potential of this possibility for the first eight months of their business. They give thanks to God for Raj's upline, Kulin and Mina Desai, who pushed him to enrol in Britt school in May 1991. Raj learned the success principles taught by Bill Britt at Britt School. "This business went from our heads to our hearts, and we made the quality decision to build the firm," Raj says, citing this epiphany as well as meeting people from all walks of life who were successful. It wasn't easy being 600 miles away from their sponsor, but with the help of the Britt-Michigan team and upline support, they gradually began to flourish. "In this business, we took two decisions," Raj explains. "The first was to get started, and the second was to never quit." They were at the Platinum level when their first child was born in April 1992, and Sangita quit her job to be a full-time mom. Raj's seven-year career as a computer engineer came to an end in 1994. Raj and Sangita are grateful to Kanti and Lata Gala, their upline Diamonds, for believing in them and serving as role models. The Shahs are now full-time parents with three children, spending quality and quantity time with them. "Treat your business as if it were a multimillion-dollar business rather than a hundred-dollar business," Raj advises.
