An Inheritance from One Generation to the Next Jody is well conscious of his excellent fortune, having grown up as the son of genuine networking pioneers.
According to Jody Victor, "I'm extremely lucky to have gotten off to such a strong start with Plan B."
The success of my parents' networking efforts enabled us to live an extraordinary lifestyle. You can conjure up whatever scenario you want.
But put the stuff aside for a moment. Some of the non-material features of the networking lifestyle are far more essential than the material ones.
For me, our way of life meant that I never had to witness my father come home from work grumpy, moaning about his company, or kicking the dog.
Because of the high level of activity in our home, watching television was not a priority.
“There was always something more fun to do!” Other legacies include: Jody's drive and ambition can be attributed to his refusal to simply sit back and observe passively as his parents provided him with a comfortable lifestyle.
Despite his young age, this young man possessed the will and ambition to start his own organisation.
Jody had already achieved Emerald status at the age of 27 and was in the process of qualifying for Diamond.
That's when he met Kathy, who was a member of his organization's lower level.
They first met in 1975 and quickly formed a friendship, which bloomed into a romantic relationship a few years later.
Jody and Kathy tied the knot in 1981.
“Jody and I are quite similar,” Kathy says, and she adds, "and we discovered that immediately away—especially in our attitudes toward business.
” Jody agrees, saying, "Kathy and I both believe in the need of maintaining a single-minded focus on growing the firm.
" I could tell she was on the fast track to success right from the beginning. Now, as a member of the Victor team, I'm delighted that we've achieved success together.”
"Let's postpone the honeymoon," says the couple.
Jody had gained Double Diamond just a few months before they got married in May 1981. And, very soon after they were married, Kathy and Jody achieved Triple Diamond (in July 1981) and then Crown with their combined efforts (in August 1981).
“As Kathy pointed out, we are quite similar. Consequently, when we were married in May 1981, we chose to postpone our honeymoon because we were competing for the Crown!”
“You bet!” says the author. Kathy bursts out laughing. “It was well worth it in the end. Since then, we've taken several honeymoons, and I anticipate that we'll have many more.”
The Legacy Is Still Alive “One of the things that both Jody and I appreciate about networking is that it gives you the opportunity to share an almost limitless amount of skills and practical information with others.
Firstly, just as Jody's parents shared information with him, we are able to share this information with Stephen, Terri, and Joe as well.
“Our children have played an important role in our company,” she observes.
“That is one of the reasons why this firm continues to grow and prosper.”
Jody goes on to say more. “And, of course, the act of giving does not stop with family; it only begins with family.
As well as helping complete strangers turn their life around, we have the ability to help anyone in need. It is a great feeling, I must tell you,” he continues, to know that you have the potential to serve others.
Suddenly, you can't help but feel good about yourself!”
Jody and Kathy Victor have achieved success in a variety of areas.
Steve and Marcia Victor, his son and daughter-in-law, are carrying on the family tradition as Brand New Founders Platinum.
