Plume, John & Kathy Amway
Plume, John & Kathy
"We recognised a fantastic chance to have a common focus on our future."
" As proprietors of three businesses in their Michigan neighbourhood, John and Kathy Plume were considered a success.
In reality, Kathy worked 10 hours a day, six days a week as a hospital administrator and served on various committees.
John worked 12 to 15 hours a day running their carpet store, furniture store and moving business.
They also owned a real estate development company, a car restoration company, were members of a service club and were active in their religion.
They had little time to be together. Some people with their schedule might have used lack of time as an excuse for not establishing a new business. For the Plumes, it was their purpose to begin.
They had been married for 10 years and had no children. "Here we saw an opportunity not only to earn revenue to help support our other businesses," John says, "but a way to spend much, much more time together.
We recognised a fantastic chance to have a similar focus on our future. We had attained our target of time." Their main joy in life today is in being with their son, Jonathan, and daughter, Kayla."
Phillips, Louise Amway
Phillips, Louise
Louise Cole, nee Louise Williams, went diamond in the early 1980s while single; she later married (Paul & Louise Phillips), and subsequently divorced from him.
Cole, Richard, and Louise are the names of the three children she has had since remarried.
The Coles were BWW Diamonds in the Mike & Eileen Limburg Britt, Bill & Peggy frontline Emerald inactive) organisation under the leadership of Mike & Eileen Limburg Britt.
They have now become a part of LTD. Britt, Bill, and Peggy are the diamonds in Louise Cole's immediate upline. 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. It's great to live in a country that allows me to exercise that freedom by being in business for myself."

Overton, Clayton & Charlotte Amway
Overton, Clayton & Charlotte
"The opportunity to Make a Difference."
"Clayton Overton is an orthopaedic surgeon practising in California.
When the cost of his malpractice insurance increased from $7,000 to $25,000 in a single year, he and his wife, Charlotte, began seriously considering the possibility of starting a business.
Both had graduated from Tulane University in Louisiana and would be forced to return to their home states in order to take advantage of the lower insurance rates, unless they could earn more money.
"At the time, we were in the process of building a new home and discovered we couldn't afford it," Clayton recalls.
Despite the fact that many of Charlotte's friends and relatives laughed and thought the firm would fail or that she "couldn't do it," she says she and her husband were determined to make it succeed.
One year later, she was working full-time for them at their firm. The Overtons are now frequently on the road for business.
Clayton enjoys medicine and, as a result of the company's success, he no longer has to work 80-100 hours per week like he used to.
The fact that "he has a minimal patient load while he's in the office," according to Charlotte, "makes it enjoyable."
Clayton accompanied one of his sons to Bhutan for several weeks after he finished from medical school, just before he began his residency.
Clayton volunteered his surgical abilities there. Bhutan, which is high in the Himalayas and has only thirteen doctors, none of whom are orthopaedic surgeons, is a developing country.
Clayton brought equipment with him to the country and left it as a gift to the people there.
