The Federal Government offered me a promising opportunity in 1970, and I jumped at the chance to start a new chapter in'real life.' Soon after, I realised that'real life' was anything but a walk in the park.
After many promotions, it appeared to be a smart idea to purchase a home, especially given the likelihood of future professional progress and income growth. It didn't take long for me to discover that anything I created was immediately consumed in the home. After six years, it appeared that there was no end in sight.
I was prepared to accept any challenge that could assist me improve my circumstances. When I got home after a conference, where I had learned the first time about this company, I was giddy with excitement. I was able to achieve Platinum status in two years with the assistance of an extraordinarily supportive upline and a powerful system, despite my extreme apprehension about presenting the plan. I got even more driven to start my own business after my government position did not turn out the way I had anticipated. As a result, I quit my job after three years, at the age of 31, to devote my full time to growing my business. I moved fast through the ranks to Emerald, and after three years of Bill Britt referring to me as 'Mark Emerald,' I was anxious to follow my upline pals to Diamond Club.
Was it all worth it in the end? Yes, without a doubt! I can now afford my home, I travel the world'literally ', and I have no boss. However, I have as friends some of the finest people you could ever expect to meet, who embody the highest morals and ethical standards possible. And, because I don't have a job to go to every day, I have the time and leisure to take advantage of it all!

"The things you give up in order to be in this profession come back to you multiplied," Tom Cooper explains. He goes on to say, "As an illustration, "Tennis was something Connie enjoyed doing in college, but she placed it on the backburner to focus on growing our firm. We've given her the freedom to spend as much time as she wants with our children, Brittany and Brad, on our private basketball court."
There was a time in Tom and Connie's lives when life was not as sunny and carefree as it is now. When Tom started his job, he quickly discovered that office politics often had a greater impact on his or her future than the individual's performance. Tom was promoted to a senior position within two years after joining an international pharmaceutical business, and he soon rose to the top of the company's production rankings.
When Tom and Connie got married, Tom's supervisor learned that Tom was also running a marketing business. This was only three months after Tom and Connie had been married. He issued an ultimatum to Tom, saying, "Give up your business or you'll be fired." Tom made the decision to continue with his firm, despite the fact that he had just 300 PV.
"I was quite worried that someone could have such a significant impact on my livelihood," Tom explains further. That was the straw that broke the camel's back: "Having someone else in control of my career instead of me was the straw that broke the camel's back."
The pair had been making a comfortable living thanks to Tom's job up until that point.
Now that her husband has lost his job, she has a new mortgage to pay off, and she has lost Tom's work car, Connie has taken on the role of breadwinner. Connie had majored in medical social work in college, but finding a solid job in her profession was out of the question without an advanced degree. So she decided to go back to school.
Instead, she accepted a position selling coffee to corporations. "I was so self-conscious that I didn't even like selling Girl Scout cookies when I was a kid," Connie remembers. When I left for work to sell coffee, I would go in my car and drive somewhere where I would cry, and then I would begin knocking on people's doors.
Tom was able to get another job selling hospital supplies within a few months of his first. Connie left the coffee business at that moment and went to work at a bank to supplement her income. In her words, "it was something I enjoyed doing that gave me the mental freedom and time to concentrate on growing our firm."
When Connie became pregnant with their first child, she decided to leave her position at the bank. Tom resigned from his position shortly after. Because to this, the Coopers have been completely free since 1984. The fact that neither Brad nor Brittany have ever known a parent who had to leave them to go to work is the most crucial thing to note.
The six rolling acres of oak, dogwood, and holly trees that surround their country home, "Holly Hill," are watered by a creek that meanders through the woods. They particularly appreciate their in-ground pool and tennis court, which they can use together as a family.
Connie sums up their thoughts regarding Tom's pivotal termination many years ago by saying, "If we knew how to reach Tom's ex-boss, we would send him a thank you message!"
Tom and Connie Cooper are a power couple in the Amway industry thanks to their success in business together. They have been actively involved in the business for more than 30 years and have attained the Diamond level, which is a huge achievement in the Amway business.
1988 was the year that Tom and Connie Cooper joined Amway and began their business journey. Both of them were working full-time jobs at the time, and they were responsible for looking after young children. Despite this, they were resolute in their efforts to build a better life for themselves and for their family. They recognized an opportunity to accomplish what they wanted to do, and they decided to pursue it by joining Amway.
Tom and Connie were met with a great deal of difficulty in the beginning of their marriage. They had a hard time finding a balance between their full-time careers and the growth of their Amway business. They also had to contend with the fact that some members of their family and circle of friends did not support their decision to become Amway distributors and did not believe in the Amway business strategy. Despite this, they did not give up and kept putting in long hours of labor to achieve their objectives.
Tom and Connie finally began to see the fruits of their labor after a period of time had passed. They initiated the process of assembling a group of people who shared their passion for the Amway business and were as dedicated to reaching their goals. They assisted the members of their team in accomplishing their objectives by providing them with assistance and training.
Both Tom and Connie stressed the significance of continuing one's own education and growth. They held the belief that one's personal development was just as important to their success in the Amway business as the ability to sell items. They not only encouraged the members of their team to work on their personal growth, but they also offered the members with training and resources to assist them in doing so.
These days, Tom and Connie are widely regarded as two of the most influential people in the Amway business. They have been acknowledged for their accomplishments and have reached the Diamond level as a result of their hard work. They have also been asked to speak at a variety of occasions, where they have done so in order to motivate people via the use of their personal experiences.
Tom and Connie are not only extremely successful in their Amway business, but they are also deeply dedicated to serving their community in any way they can. They are active participants in a variety of social initiatives and have made efforts to better the lives of the people in their community.
To summarize, Tom and Connie Cooper are a prosperous business couple thanks to their work in the Amway organization. They have been acknowledged for their accomplishments and have reached the Diamond level as a result of their hard work. Their achievement is a direct result of the effort they put in, the attention they pay to their own growth, and the dedication they demonstrate to the formation of a powerful team. They are also dedicated to making a positive impact on society and giving back to the community that has given them so much. Their journey serves as a model for others who are interested in achieving success in the Amway industry by following in their footsteps.
"Being married to Pamela makes everything else in life seem insignificant in contrast."
Ben and Pamela Cooper have both enjoyed long-lasting careers in an industry known for its volatility, and they have done it by starting and growing their own successful businesses. Ben's professional career began at the age of eight, when he appeared on Broadway in the play Life with Father. Pamela began her professional singing career when she was 16 years old, and she and Ben met on the set of the film Wagon Train in Hollywood. She spent ten years on the road with the renowned Ray Conniff Singers. Ben is a talented horseman who is also a well-known fast draw specialist. He died at an early age on numerous occasions. Then I was shot in Arizona, carried through the desert, slain in Colorado, and hung in California," says the author. I constantly emphasise that while our industry may not appear to be attractive, it is far more secure than the movies!" He has appeared on 3200 radio broadcasts, 250 live television shows, 300 recorded television shows, 30 feature films, and dozens of commercials. However, "being married to Pamela makes everything else seem insignificant in comparison," adds the actor, who does not need to be asked. His speaking engagements have taken him all around the world, including China, where many of his through-line colleagues are establishing their own enterprises.
Dom & Pat Coniguliaro are Diamonds in Quixtar based in Lancaster, South Carolina. They have a lot of experience. They received their Emerald qualification in 1977 and their Diamond qualification in 1995. They are the largest Leg of the FAA Founders Crown Ambassador Dexter Yager's 65-member delegation. Founders Crown Ambassador 40 FAA Bill and Peggy Britt, as well as the BWW system's Diamonds, are their immediate upline. They have travelled the world to speak on behalf of Dexter Yager's organisations.
When the Quixtar vs. TEAM issue broke out in May of 2008, it was stated that the diamondship Coniguliaro had been discontinued as a result of this.
Louise Cole, nee Louise Williams, went diamond in the early 1980s while single; she later married (Paul & Louise Phillips), and subsequently divorced from him. Since then, she has remarried, and the couple is now known as Richard and Louise Cole. They were BWW Diamonds in the Mike & Eileen Limburg (Britt's frontline Emerald inactive) organisation, and they were married to a BWW Emerald. They have now become a part of LTD. Bill Britt is Louise Cole's first and most important upline diamond. Several diamonds and one EDC have been awarded to her by her organisation.
Bill Britt likes to say that he got two (diamond) legs for the price of one when it comes to diamonds. Neither the Miller nor the Cole organisations were founded by the same prospect, who has since departed.
One of their most well-known downlines is Founders Emerald Lee Kessler, who was a well-known actress in Hollywood for a number of years.
She was working as an aerospace researcher for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in Hampton, Virginia, when she came across this business idea for the first time.
"I went to William and Mary to study to be a math teacher, but I switched to physics to escape having to take a public speaking class - I was terrified of speaking in front of an audience!"
She had been invited to a hotel meeting by a coworker in order to look into a business potential. "That night, I met folks who were enthusiastic about what they were doing and who believed in what they were doing. That's what drew me to this line of work in the first place "Louise recalls a time in her life. "I discovered a workplace that was really bothered by the fact that I was a woman while working in this industry. I don't appreciate being treated differently or worse than other men or women in the workplace simply because I am a woman. I just want to be recognised for the work that I do, plain and simple. That's just the way things work in this industry."
She was able to produce. Louise was the first single woman in the United States to attain Diamond level as a result of her hard work and determination. She has a very huge international organisation with hundreds of Platinums, several Rubies, and Emeralds as well as a downline Diamond and EDC organisation.
The ability to build significant personal relationships, achieve personal as well as spiritual growth, and be able to assist others in assisting themselves has been the most rewarding aspect of this company.
Louise's life has altered a great deal over the course of the last several years. "My first and only ambition was to be able to afford a sports vehicle, and that was all for the time being. My income, on the other hand, continued to climb until my part-time company revenue exceeded by a factor of several my NASA income. I filed my letter of resignation to NASA and, at the age of 35, I was no longer employed there! To this day, instead of going to work, I commute in a Mercedes and a conversion van for the kids, live in an exquisite home on a five-acre waterfront estate, and spend my mornings working out at the health club or playing tennis. I've travelled extensively around the United States and many other countries of the world, and I've been fortunate enough to be able to share many of these experiences with my parents and children."
However, the most significant shift has occurred as a result of her decision to become a single parent. "I married shortly after becoming a Diamond, and we have two amazing children, Andrew and Jessica, who are the joy of my existence. As a single parent, I am grateful for the stable lifestyle that this business provides for me and my children today. We adore this business and the freedom it has provided us, allowing us to travel wherever we want, whenever we want - and always with each other. The freedom to be oneself, both personally and financially, is liberating. This country provides me with the opportunity to exercise my freedom by operating my own business, which I appreciate greatly."
"We made a pact with ourselves that no one would ever have influence over our fate again."
You're young and ambitious, yet your guidance counsellor advises you not to try to get into a university. What do you do in this situation? You'll be assigned another counsellor! Ken Christopher had been working as a draughtsman for four years after graduating from high school and was dissatisfied with his position when an academic advisor advised him to stick with it. However, a respected YMCA administrator gave him a different piece of advice: he should get a degree in higher education. It marked a watershed moment. Ken went on to become an officer in the Canadian Army, received a master's degree, taught at two universities, and worked as a vice president of a development firm for nine years before retiring. The couple now has two boys named Robert and Douglas and is the CEO of a huge worldwide corporation. Mary Elizabeth worked as a teacher for 20 years before marrying him. They recently travelled to Maui with their entire family, including their grandchildren. "As Ken explains, "we are growing a significant corporation globally while concentrating our efforts primarily in Canada and the United States." "We are able to do so because of the business and the support we have received.
Chris and Judy Cherest are Diamond Independent Business Owners.
When Judy and I first discovered this business, we were just starting out on our dating journey, with no plans beyond tomorrow, no commitments, and very few absolutes in the form of values. Because the world of average thinking had triumphed over the nave hopes and ambitions of our youth, No money, no free time, and no actual friends, only acquaintances, were all that we have.
What we discovered was a firm founded on principles and values, as well as an environment that celebrated the notion of realising one's full potential and defining one's own self worth. The downside risks and headaches of traditional enterprises are absent from this venture, which eliminates the need for us to spend our time continually dealing with damage management.
We became enthused fast, and armed with the confidence that comes with being inexperienced, we demonstrated our business strategy to 150 people in the first six months before sponsoring our first pair. However, as Bill Britt points out, we hammered on the piano for a long enough period of time that we eventually learned how to play. We went Platinum, then Ruby, and then purchased both of our freedoms, all within three years of each other, allowing us to concentrate on reaching Emerald and Diamond in the following years.
It's been over two decades since Judy and I have worked for anyone else. Wake up whenever we want, spend our days with the people we've decided to love the most in life, and individually raise our three lovely girls, Kristen, Courtney, and Jennifer - it's a wonderful feeling! We have no bills, and we spend our time doing "family activities," rather than "things that must be done to make a money." It is the wonderful life... to be able to do what you want rather than what you have to do.
Having the support of friends, the spiritual grounding we had gained through our studies, financial security, and the time to care for Judy while she was recuperating in the hospital and at home was extremely beneficial when Judy was diagnosed with a serious illness a few years ago. This would not have been the case had we not gotten involved in our business, building ourselves and others while we could, so that the business we had created could take care of us when we couldn't.
Having the privilege of truly owning yourself; of having the leisure time to get up when rested; to spend an afternoon lying in a hammock; to work out at the spa; to go golfing or shopping with your buddies; to have lunch with your spouse or friends; to participate in sporting events; to share important moments with your children; to spend your entire life on vacation; or to simply stay at home and enjoy your life.
We have what the majority of the world is looking for: a life filled with purpose. We are ecstatic about what we have been given, but much more so about the lives that will be touched as a result of our efforts and the incredible vision that we will undoubtedly fulfil in the future.
Cherest Amway, Chris Amway, and Judi Amway are three people who have been instrumental in advancing the world of business and entrepreneurship. Even though most people have never heard of them, the work that they have done and the achievements that they have attained have left an indelible mark on the business world and have motivated a great number of others to follow their ambitions.
Cherest Amway is a successful entrepreneur and businesswoman who has made a name for herself in the field of direct selling. Her birth year was 1946, and she spent her childhood in Michigan, where she established a strong commitment to hard labor and a passion for assisting other people.
After receiving her high school diploma, Cherest started working for Amway, a company that specializes in direct sales and was established by the family of her future husband. She advanced rapidly through the company's levels and eventually became one of the most successful distributors in the business. In 1972, she was the first woman to be named to the Amway Board of Directors after receiving a position there through a nomination.
Cherest was well-known for her creative marketing strategies as well as her ability to excite and inspire those around her. She had a significant role in the development of the Amway Business Opportunity Plan, which went on to serve as a model for other companies in the direct selling industry.
In addition to her work with Amway, Cherest was active in a variety of charitable and volunteer activities around the community. Together with her husband, Jay Van Andel, she established the Van Andel Institute, a medical research organization with the mission of discovering treatments for cancer and other illnesses.
Cherest passed away in 2004, but her influence will be remembered for generations to come. She is known as a trailblazer for women in business and a pioneer in the field of direct selling, which she helped to develop.
Jay Van Andel, one of the original founders of Amway, is the father of Chris Amway, who now runs the family business. He was born in 1959, and he spent his childhood in Michigan, where he developed a strong passion for business and for starting his own company.
Chris got a job at Amway just after he finished his undergraduate studies, and he advanced rapidly through the company's levels. He held the position of Vice President of Marketing for the company and was an essential contributor to the development of new goods as well as marketing tactics.
Chris's involvement in charitable activities and volunteer work in the community were in addition to the job he did for Amway. In addition to his role as Chairman of the Board at the Van Andel Institute, he was a fervent supporter of scientific investigation in the medical field.
In 2004, Chris passed away, but he left behind a legacy that was marked by creativity and leadership. In the annals of business history, he will be known as a forward-thinking entrepreneur who was a fervent supporter of medical research and who was instrumental in shaping the direct selling sector.
Rich DeVos, one of the original founders of Amway, is the parent of Judi Amway, the current CEO of the company. She was born in 1955 and spent her childhood in Michigan, where she fostered a great interest in business and became an entrepreneur. Her year of birth was 1955.
Judi started her career shortly after receiving her bachelor's degree by accepting a position with Amway, where she eventually held many different positions. She was well regarded for her knowledge and experience in marketing and sales, and she played an important role in the creation of new goods and marketing tactics.
In addition to her work with Amway, Judi was active in a variety of charitable and volunteer activities around the community. Together with her husband, Doug DeVos, she is a dedicated supporter of a wide range of charitable organizations, and together they have given away millions of dollars to assist those in need.
Today, Judi is still very much involved in the working world, and she maintains her position as a market pioneer in the direct sales industry. She is well-known for her unwavering commitment to make a positive difference in the world and to assisting others in accomplishing the goals that they set for themselves.
Three people who have had a substantial impact on the business world and the direct selling industry are Cherest Amway, Chris Amway, and Judi Amway. They will be recognized for their inventiveness, leadership, and unwavering commitment to assisting others in accomplishing their objectives. Their legacies continue to encourage new generations of business leaders and entrepreneurs to follow their passions and make a positive difference in the world.
When Ron Camp, Babs' brother, presented the Camps with a marketing strategy, he had just been voted Georgia Coach of the Year, and the Camps were excited. He enjoyed what he was doing, but he was well aware that, as a teacher and coach, he was finding it difficult to provide for his wife and two young girls.
Ron wasn't overjoyed at first, but having grown up in public housing projects without a father to provide financial support and no mother to supervise his children, he was willing to go to any length to allow Babs to stay at home with his daughters.
Ron felt comfortable conversing with people who were wearing football helmets, but conversing with anyone else was a difficult task for him. Although he had to overcome many obstacles early on, he was confident that if others could create this firm, he could as well!
Ron died as a result of a sudden heart attack on October 4, 1993, while jogging with his daughter Lisa in the park. He was in excellent physical condition, and he made exercise a regular part of his daily routine. His untimely demise at the age of 52 came as a complete surprise to everyone who knew him. Babs was compelled to call on every ounce of divine and inner strength she could muster up. God, as well as her friends and business "family," who travelled from all over the country to grieve Ron's loss and to support and encourage Babs, did not let her down. Ron was a terrific husband and father, as well as an outstanding leader in their business. He will be profoundly missed, but his family and a large number of friends will remember him with much love and dedication.
A few years earlier, while still in college, Babs had been so terrified of public speaking that she had chosen the only two majors and minors that did not require her to take a public speaking course. While she and Ron were establishing their company, Ron was the one who did the majority of the speaking. It has been difficult for Babs to speak on stage by herself, but when Bill Britt informed her that she had a wonderful message to share with people about how Ron had provided for her, the challenge became more rewarding and less difficult for her to face.
Babs's outstanding leadership has enabled the Camp organisation to continue to develop and prosper over the years.
As Babs puts it, "Ron's dreams will live on through his family, through his grandchildren, and through the outstanding, competent leaders he has left behind him."
Babs' life took on yet another new chapter on January 17, 2004, when she tied the knot with Stan Chambers. Stan had been introduced to her by Ray and Carroll Youngblood, who were her business acquaintances. After ten years of running her firm on her own, Babs is delighted to have found a business partner who shares her enthusiasm for the industry.
Mike and Robin Carroll received their Emerald qualification in 1991 and their Diamond qualification in 1994.
They have one frontline Diamond, Frank & Lynn Radford, who were married in 1994.
James works as the chairman and professor at a medical university. It had taken him 28 years of schooling, which included a BS in biology, a DDS in dentistry, an MS in teaching, and a PhD in microbiology and immunology, as well as board certification in oral pathology, to achieve that JJJOOOBBB!!!
After reviewing the business plan, he recognised that the residual income component of the business, along with the lifestyle afforded by the Diamond level, far surpassed anything that a career as a doctor could possibly provide. Karen agreed to assist, despite her initial reluctance, and within 17 months, they had attained the Platinum level. Karen then retired from her nursing position to become a full-time mother to her four sons, and she became completely enamoured with the idea of starting a business to meet the requirements of their entire family.
Jim and Karen are now completely debt-free thanks to their new business venture, Diamonds. They spend the most of their time at their home in Midlothian, Virginia, but they also like to spend peaceful time with their family, friends, and business associates at their riverside retreat. They relax, fish, and participate in water activities with their boats and jetskis while at the marina. While assisting others in achieving the dream of "Health, Love, Wealth, and the Time to enjoy them," their greatest satisfaction comes from seeing people achieve their goals. Jim and Karen have developed their business on the foundation of their commitment to their family. Their four sons, Chris, Reid, Colin, and Sloan, are the centre of their attention. Jim is also the Assistant Dean at a medical university, in addition to operating a huge corporate enterprise. His 28 years of schooling had included a bachelor's degree in biology, a DDS in dentistry, an MS in teaching, a PhD in microbiology and immunology, and board certification in oral pathology, all of which contributed toward his current position.
When he first viewed this business plan, he understood that the residual income component of the business, as well as the lifestyle available at the Diamond level, far outweighed anything that being a doctor could possibly provide him with. Karen agreed to give the business a go, despite the fact that she was not as enthusiastic as Jim was at the start. Within 17 months, they had attained the Platinum level of achievement. Karen immediately retired from her nursing position to become a full-time mother, and she was completely sold on the business as a method to provide for their family's needs while also assisting other families in their time of need.
Jim and Karen are completely debt-free, with no outstanding debts or mortgage payments. They spend some of their time at their penthouse property on Brown's Island in Richmond, Virginia, which has a view of the James River and is perfect for entertaining. At other times, they love spending time with their family, friends, and business acquaintances at their two Potomac River homes. They have two children. With their 25-foot speed boat with 360 horsepower; a 26-foot fishing boat; a 17-foot duck hunting boat; and jet skis, they can relax, fish, and enjoy water sports on the lake. SUNSET is one of the most spectacular aspects of any day spent on the river.
In addition to the numerous monetary advantages, their greatest satisfaction comes from assisting someone else in realising the dream of 'Health, Love, Wealth, and the Time to enjoy them.'
"We began to hope that our part-time business may generate enough cash to support us full-time."
When Laura and Bob Baron achieved a successful business level, she remarked, "The only location Bob commutes to anymore is downstairs to his office following a night of watching Sesame Street with our daughters." Although the girls are grown up now, Bob and Laura still have the same amount of time flexibility. They worked hard and consistently to establish their firm, and sixteen months after the birth of their second daughter, they were both able to resign from their previous employment positions. In order to pay off past business obligations and build a new home, they began travelling to various parts of the world and establishing businesses in a number of those countries. “We've flown over the waterfalls of Kauai in a helicopter, trekked through the jungles of Mexico on horseback, and leased a yacht to explore isolated islands in the Caribbean,” Bob explains. Today's corporate market is worldwide, and there is no practical limit to how far it can expand. This part-time endeavour opened the door to a once-in-a-lifetime chance of world-class significance."
Prior to launching their Amway firm, the Ayers worked as school teachers in the local community. Both of them were in their late 20s when they decided to leave their professions to pursue their entrepreneurial dreams. The Ayers family currently resides in the city of Orlando, Florida. Toby Ayers is currently married to Mia, with whom he has two daughters who are both Diamonds who recently qualified. Chris and Connie Leesburg qualified directly in 1995, and Ruby qualified directly in 2003?
Gary and Nancy were formerly a part of another LOA, which fell somewhere in the Yager sponsorship hierarchy. Their public explanation for the breakup was that their upline had abused them. Many years ago, before they went Emerald, they transferred to BWW. Their affiliation with the LTD organisation has subsequently been established, and they recognise Larry Winters as their upline Diamond. In September 2009, they were re-qualified as Diamonds for the second time.
Samir and Theresa Attalah are Diamonds who have their headquarters in Redmond, Washington. Samir is an Egyptian immigrant who arrived in the United States without knowing how to speak English when he began working in the business. Samir earned his Emerald certification in 1993. After that, he married Theresa, and the two of them earned their Diamond certification in 1997.
Samir arrived in the United States with only $40 in his pocket. He worked as a janitor in order to fund his education at Bible college. Later, he worked as a paper route driver while pursuing a Master's degree in computer science at Seattle Pacific University.
When Samir first walked into the business, he didn't realise the potential. Samir did little more than utilise products and attend a few meetings for over two years straight. Samir was promoted to Silver after seven months with the help of Brad and Julie Duncan's friendship and coaching, and he was promoted to Ruby in three months after making the commitment to take the business seriously.
Samir and Theresa met as IBOs when Samir was a Ruby, and they became fast friends. As Samir progressed through the Emerald, they became more acquainted. Theresa had already seen the plan before joining the company, but it wasn't until she saw it again that she realised how much better her life could be if she followed it. She was pursuing an MBA while working as a corporate sales representative, but she desired something more than what the corporate world could provide.
Samir and Theresa worked together to establish a diamond business. Angelique and Matthew are their three children. Michael is the eldest of the three. Neither of their children has ever witnessed their parents working for someone else. Instead, their children have witnessed them bless others by assisting them in the growth of their respective enterprises.
Mike is the self-proclaimed president of the "Network TwentyOne Midweek Surf Team," which meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays. After graduating from the University of Hawaii and working as a sales manager for the Sheraton Hawaii Corporation, Mike Apele decided to become a flight attendant for United Airlines in order to pursue a lifestyle that would allow him to be more independent. Denise has a bachelor's degree in fine arts from the University of Washington and shares Mike's enthusiasm for scuba diving and the great outdoors. Currently, they are preparing to build a ranch-style home on a piece of property on the big island of Hawaii. “We have made a significant amount of progress,” they both assert. “Anyone can succeed in this company if they are willing to learn. This is something we firmly believe from the bottom of our hearts. It is not the amount of money that you earn that has actual value in this situation. It is the person that you must become in order to get the money. We continue to count our son Bo and daughter Jordan as the greatest blessings and sources of inspiration in our lives.”
Kent and Jackie Allen are BWW Diamonds from Kentucky who are involved with the organisation. They began working for Amway in 1979 and achieved Diamond status in 1994.
Kent Allen and Paul Miller were classmates in high school. Kent met Jackie when they were both in high school. He was working as a pharmacist in Ayden, North Carolina, when Paul offered them the opportunity to join his company. It took them five years after witnessing Paul's success before they asked to see the business plan again and decided to join forces.
Success for Kent and Jackie Allen will be determined by their perseverance, hard effort, and positive attitude as they work toward their goal of obtaining Diamond status.
The couple started their own independent business while Kent was working as a pharmacist in a drugstore in the little town of Ayden, North Carolina, where the two of them had grown up. Jackie and Kent, who had been high school sweethearts, were the parents of two beautiful girls at the time. They had hopes and goals for their family, and starting their own business was the first step toward realising those hopes and dreams.
Being back in their hometown and working together again brought Kent and Jackie closer to their parents, who had played such a crucial part in loving and motivating them to work hard and care for others throughout their childhood. Their upbringing in a tiny town and on a farm instilled in them strong family values, humility, patience, and a deep love and faith for their heavenly Father.
Paul Miller, a high school classmate and personal friend of Kent and Jackie's, assisted them in starting their firm. They set high expectations for themselves right from the start: "Diamond!" Instead of four years, they were able to achieve their objective in fourteen, as a result of their patience, hard work, and tenacity, which they had acquired. Kent and Jackie are the type of folks who "can do" anything. They never wavered in their determination to achieve their aim.
Kent and Jackie have three kids, Amy, Dava, and Claire, who are the source of their greatest joys in their lives. Seeing their girls participate in sports activities brings back memories for Kent and Jackie of their own participation in school sports events as children. Jackie used to stand by and cheer for Kent while he competed on successful athletic teams that won state championships and went unbeaten during their seasons.
Perseverance, hard effort, and a "can-do" mentality have opened many doors of opportunity for them, not only in terms of what they can provide for their family, but also in terms of what they can do for other people. The friendships that are formed along the journey are priceless. They have received blessings they never imagined were possible as a result of their winning mindset.
