Achieve PAGE 1 TURNING CORNERS, FINDING Nancy Siat & Kevin Wong FOUNDERS DOUBLE DIAMOND | NEW YORK U nlike most people who start an Amway™ independent business, Nancy Siat was well acquainted with the world of direct selling. While still living in Malaysia, she was a distributor for a direct selling Japanese skincare company. But her experience was not a happy one. “They would always find some excuse not to pay me what they owed me,” she says. So when she and her husband Kevin Wong moved to the U.S., she didn’t even think about the possibilities of working in direct sales. Instead, she took on two part-time jobs, working mornings in a beauty salon and afternoons in a restaurant. In fact, it was Kevin who first decided to pursue the Amway opportunity. “He started it on his own. I didn’t have the time or the interest,” recalls Nancy. But in trying to do it all by himself, Kevin was soon struggling. He wasn’t growing his business as quickly as he wanted to. He also owned a food import business that took his time. And, as he explains, “I wasn’t good with people like Nancy is. I needed her help finding customers and learning how to approach them.” PAGE 2 Achieve NANCY SIAT AND KEVIN WONG “The first time I visited the company, I met so many professional people who had succeeded in the business. I thought, if they can do it, why can’t we?” | NANCY SIAT Achieve PAGE 3 questions instead of going to Kevin. Pretty soon, they were coming to me for everything,” she laughs. But that was fine with both of them because as it turned out, Nancy had finally found a direct selling company that was a perfect fit for her. Ticket to paradise He finally persuaded his wife to join him, which was their first big turning point. The second came when Kevin surprised Nancy with a ticket to Ada, Michigan, where Amway was celebrating its 35th anniversary. “When I toured the corporate headquarters and saw all the manufacturing facilities and met so many professional people, including doctors and lawyers, who had become successful Amway IBOs, it really opened my eyes. I was so impressed with Amway! It made me feel very confident about being associated with such a great company.” That belief grew even stronger when she learned that Amway offers a Satisfaction Guarantee on products. “Knowing that I personally didn’t have to be responsible for the products and that any refunds wouldn’t come out of my pocket also made me feel good,” she recounts, remembering that not all companies operate by such standards. Perfect fit After she returned from Ada, Nancy’s role began to change in a major way. “I became very knowledgeable about the products, and people started asking me PAGE 4 Achieve “I really enjoyed helping people plan for their futures,” she says. “Most people I knew were working long hours in retail businesses or restaurants – getting up early, coming home late, and not making much money. I would explain to them that by using and selling Amway™ products, they could earn bonuses, and that they could do it part time to earn extra money. Best of all, they could be their own boss.” She stressed, too, that having an Amway independent business requires hard work, but there are lasting benefits for those who stick with it. She found that one of her favorite parts of the business was sharing products with people. She enjoys comparing Amway brands such as NUTRILITE®, ARTISTRY®, and SA8® with other wellknown brands to point out the differences. “When I was starting out, I used all the materials provided by the company to explain the features and benefits of our products,” she says. Now that she’s used practically all of them herself, she also uses her own experience to explain what makes an Amway product superior. “I’m very good at persuading people to see things my way,” she adds with a smile. “And when they find one product they like, they always come back for more.” NANCY SIAT AND KEVIN WONG Sensible weight management She’s especially excited about the BODYKEY by NUTRILITE™ weight management product line. “It’s such a healthy way to manage your weight,” she observes. “Some people want a product that will help them lose weight really fast, like you see the superstars do, but it’s not good for you to lose weight like that. It’s much healthier to do it in a way that helps you reduce fat, not muscle. I always tell people the test is clothes: When they start feeling looser, you know you’re losing weight.” Over the years, she’s realized that the things she likes to do most in life nicely complement her Amway™ business: She enjoys meeting people and sharing ideas with them, and she loves to cook, often doing demos using iCook® products. “It’s so easy to combine my hobbies with my business,” she states. “I’m very proud of our products and it’s fun to talk with people about them.” Achieve PAGE 5 “It’s so easy to combine my hobbies with my business. I’m very proud of our products and it’s fun to talk with people about them.” | NANCY SIAT There to help Nancy advises new IBOs to be sure they thoroughly understand any products before introducing them to friends or relatives. “I tell people if they have any questions or are confused about anything to get in touch with me right away. I’m here to help them.” She credits her own mentors for helping her and Kevin rise to each new level. “I feel so lucky and am so grateful to those who answered all my questions at the beginning and taught me the right way to do things,” she states, adding that both upline and downline IBOs contributed to her success. “Without their support, we would not be where we are today.” Her goal now is to keep helping others succeed. With the large group they’ve developed, that keeps her very busy. In their spare time, Nancy and Kevin like to hang out with their 15-year-old son, Victor. “He’s a very talented badminton player and is taking lessons from an excellent coach right now,” says Nancy. “His dream is to compete as a professional, but he’s very PAGE 6 Achieve NANCY SIAT AND KEVIN WONG good in academics, too. Who knows, maybe he will end up going to business school and starting his own Amway™ business someday.” family would have this kind of life,” she says about their beautiful seaside home and its gorgeous surroundings. “It’s so comfortable and peaceful here.” Nancy says no matter what Victor decides to do, as his mom, she just wants him to be happy and successful in life, like she and Kevin are. “I never dreamed our It’s certainly a much different life than when she was working two jobs to make ends meet. “In that world, everything was so unstable, you never knew how much money you would be taking home each week,” she notes. As for where they are today, Nancy says, “It is all thanks to my husband, who had the foresight to believe in this business; to Amway, who provided everything we needed to be successful; and to the many friends we have made who helped us continue moving forward.” “To others who are on the same journey, I say set your goals high and aim to be recognized with a new pin every year.” The average monthly Gross Income for “active” IBOs in Canada was $198. Approximately 48% of IBOs in Canada, were “active.” IBOs were considered “active” in months in 2010 when they attempted to make a retail sale, or presented the Amway IBO Compensation Plan, or received bonus money, or attended an Amway or IBO meeting. If someone sustained that level of activity every month for a whole year, their annualized Gross Income would be $2,376. Of course, not every IBO chooses to be active every month. “Gross Income” means the amount received from retail sales, minus the cost of goods sold, plus monthly bonuses and cash incentives. It excludes all annual bonuses and cash incentives, and all non-cash awards, which may be significant. There may also be significant business expenses, mostly discretionary, that may be greater in relation to income in the first years of operation. For the purposes of the calculation in Canada, individuals who were IBOs for less than the entire year in 2010 were excluded. Achieve PAGE 7 PAGE 8 Achieve Achieve AMWAY HERO AWARDS 2013 Independent Business Owners are a special lot, so it was no simple task selecting the recipients of the fourth annual Amway Hero Awards for Determination, Generosity, Leadership, and Patriotism. PAGE 9 Drawing strength from her family, friends, and faith, this IBO resolved to be an inspiration and hope to others. For Renee DeSilva, family has always been a source of strength. She credits her deep connection with her sister Jennifer Smeenk and her brother Reggie Nicolas with making it through the untimely losses of both of their parents. “Our parents instilled a bond between the three of us,” says Renee, “and it was only made stronger after we went through the experience of losing both of our parents together. We’re even closer now.” Her family was also there to help when Renee’s husband Alan died in a car crash just a few months before the couple’s fifth wedding anniversary – a tragedy that Renee says she couldn’t have managed without her faith and the support of those around her. PAGE 10 Achieve “I had a choice of whether I’d let this end my life,” she says. “Whether I’d do nothing and let it defeat me. But I want to be an example of being able to overcome. I want to be strong.” For her persistence in the face of personal loss, Renee DeSilva is awarded the Amway Hero Award for Determination. A journey together A few months after her father passed away, Renee attended the 2002 World Youth Day in Toronto – a global festival for young Catholics. That’s where she began spending time with Alan DeSilva, a boy she had grown up with in Edmonton, Alberta, and knew as a distant acquaintance. AMWAY HERO AWARDS 2013 PAGE 11 Achieve Six months after the friends returned from Toronto, Renee’s mother had a stroke. “I remember praying to God, ‘I just lost my dad. If it’s your will, please give us more time,’” Renee says. “And my prayers were answered. My mother lived exactly one more year before passing away.” Alan was at her side through it all. “We became best friends over the course of a year and a half,” she says. “We grew together, and he helped me walk that journey.” Their friendship blossomed into romance and after dating for four years, the couple married in May 2008. They became Independent Business Owners the same year. Strength to carry on Together, the DeSilvas built a successful Amway™ independent business while raising two children, 4-year-old son Gabriel and 3-year-old daughter Anjali. But Renee’s world changed after Alan’s accident in February 2013. I “I knew I could not have handled this tragedy without God’s grace and love,” she says, “and without the amazing people in my life who opened up their hearts to grieve and walk this journey with me.” Many cared for her in practical ways: cleaning the house, watching the kids, praying, and just being there. “I didn’t cook a meal for two months!” she says. “It truly is a success story of people’s amazing hearts, compassion, and love.” Renee was also heartened by the fond stories that she heard from the students and colleagues of Alan, who had been a biology professor. “It helped me to know that he effected change in the world,” she says, “even though he was only 30.” Renee is determined to be a source of inspiration for her own children. “I’m going to have to rise up from this, so my kids can rise up, too,” she says. Network of support Before Alan’s passing, the DeSilvas were working toward their dream of attaining Diamond; after, Renee let the business slow so she could concentrate on grieving and healing. Then, she says, participating in the BODYKEY by NUTRILITE™ 90-Day Weight Loss Challenge gave her a positive goal to focus on and a chance to reconnect PAGE 12 Achieve AMWAY HERO AWARDS 2013 Renee was the winner of the 2011 IBO Talent Show. Her original video submission can be viewed at: AchieveMagazine.com/ibo-talent-show-2011-finalists with others. Her team lost a collective 69 pounds and 138 inches, winning a prize for their success. “I’m happy that this award honors Alan, his story, and all his hard work toward our dreams.” “The challenge kept me in touch with my team,” she says. “Now that I’ve reinvented my role, I’m re-fired up to get my business going again.” Now Renee is sharing her story to empower those around her. “It feels good to instill hope,” she says, “and be future-focused. When I do that kind of work, I feel a closeness to Alan. Our dream was together, and I feel him very near to me, still helping with that journey.” As a couple, Alan and Renee each had their own strengths in the company: Alan was out in front, presenting the IBO Compensation Plan, while Renee made sure all the pieces came together. Now she’s overcoming her fears and presenting the Plan on her own. “I’ve made a commitment to become a Diamond,” Renee says. “I found inspiration by looking through issues of ACHIEVE® magazine for single women who have made Emerald or Platinum. If they could do it, I knew I could do it, too!” An inspiration to others Renee’s business team has seen her through these hard times, too. She notes the significant help of her sponsors Frank and Lorraine Mikolas, who are “amazing people with huge hearts for my family and the team,” as well as her uplines Mike and Lori Bourgeois. “I’m really thankful for their friendship and for their help in keeping a positive attitude,” she says. One way she shares this positivity is through her voice – Renee is a talented singer. “I’ve always enjoyed singing,” she says, “and performing at church. It’s a lot of fun for me! Music can lift people up, and it keeps them going.” Renee says spreading this joy is what means the most to her. “For me, a hero is someone who is a source of inspiration and hope to others,” she says. Achieve PAGE 13 This second-generation IBO couple gives generously around the world and at home. Talking about their charitable work makes Amway™ Independent Business Owners Jody and Kathy Victor somewhat uncomfortable. “We don’t give back for the recognition,” Kathy says. Instead, the Victors have made generosity a way of life. Over the years, they have supported a number of diverse causes, including the American Heart Association, a scholarship fund at The Ohio State University, and the Back to the Wild wildlife rehabilitation center. Jody even received the Polish Heart Award from the government of Poland in concert with the Roman Catholic Church for his work overseas – creating free enterprise business opportunities for people and helping build public recreation facilities throughout the country. But as often as they make personal donations, they also contribute to causes anonymously, wherever they see a need to be filled. “That’s just how we do things,” says Jody. “We’re here to help.” PAGE 14 Achieve For their decades of quiet philanthropy, Jody and Kathy Victor are the recipients of the 2013 Amway Hero Award for Generosity. Giving that lasts As Crowns Jody and Kathy explain, generosity is about making a lasting difference, and that kind of giving means the most. “We like to create things,” says Kathy, “instead of just donating.” Those efforts began in 1981, when they were approached to help fund a baseball field for youth in their community who needed a place to play. A former baseball player himself (he was an all-star second baseman) with a lifelong passion for the game, Jody leapt at the opportunity and together the couple financed Crown Field in Ohio – complete with an electronic scoreboard, dugouts, fencing, sod outfields, and bleachers. AMWAY HERO AWARDS 2013 PAGE 15 Achieve A community that cares While they support national organizations, Jody and Kathy say they feel a responsibility and true conviction to give back within their community. This extends to helping even at the individual level. The Victors have continued to support Crown Field for 30 years while expanding its facilities. Now the field even offers youth events and an XStreme Baseball Academy – a program where kids can hone their skills while learning valuable life lessons. “It teaches them about character while they play the game,” says Jody, “about having a good self-image, and overcoming obstacles like fear and procrastination.” The Victors are also actively involved in the U.S. Dream Academy, empowering at-risk children through innovative after-school and mentoring programs that incorporate technology. One of the founding members, Jody serves on the board of directors, and both of the Victors donate their time and resources to helping children succeed. “We just wanted to find a way to stop this cycle,” says Kathy, “of each generation of at-risk kids following the next.” Above all, Jody and Kathy say they cherish being able to provide others with so much joy. “God has blessed us greatly,” Kathy says, “and when God has given so much to us, it’s our duty and our pleasure to give back.” In 2011, Walter Kobak, an 87-year-old man with disabilities, was having trouble getting a wheelchair ramp built for his house. Walter couldn’t get down his front-porch steps on his own and had to ask the local police force for assistance whenever he wanted to leave his house. The city told Walter he needed to apply for a zoning variance before he could build the ramp. The application cost $200. “We read about Walter’s problem in the local paper,” says Jody, “and we immediately knew we wanted to help.” On the day Jody arrived at Walter’s house to drop off the funds, a local news crew was filming Walter’s story, and they asked to capture Jody’s act on camera. “It was pure chance,” Jody laughs. Soon, the Victor’s gesture sparked an outpouring of support from the Danbury Township community in Ohio. The local Home Depot offered the necessary building materials for the ramp at a discount, and employees donated their time to help with construction. Even the police who had carried Walter down the steps showed up to swing hammers. Jody explains that just one small gesture has the power to inspire a greater impact. “Walter didn’t realize that other people cared so much,” says Jody. “And it was made possible out of everyone’s generosity – whether money, time, or elbow grease.” Watch WKYC Channel 3’s story on Walter at: tinyurl.com/walterkobak PAGE 16 Achieve AMWAY HERO AWARDS 2013 Photo below: Angela Wilhelm G Family legacy “We hope we’ve taught our children the importance of giving to others without expecting anything in return,” says Kathy. For the Victors, the Amway™ business and giving back are true family values. Jody’s parents were among the first three IBO couples when Amway was founded in 1959. All of their children are also IBOs – son Joe and his wife Kelli (Founders Platinum); son Steve and his wife Marcia (Sapphire); and daughter Terri and her husband Greg Fraumann. Along the way, generosity has always been emphasized, and they’ve all taken that to heart. “Giving back is a necessary part of being human,” says Kathy. “It doesn’t matter if it’s a little or a lot. It makes a difference in your life – and in the lives of others.” Achieve PAGE 17 This IBO couple mentored and supported others worldwide, creating a legacy of leadership that lives on. Bill Britt lived by three mottos. “One was ‘May the work I have done speak for me,’” says his wife, Peggy. “The second was ‘Honor and courage’ – that was the patriotism one. He appreciated the freedom in his country. And last, ‘The Lord is my shepherd.’” After Bill passed away in January 2013 at age 81, Peggy placed these three sayings in a shadow box in their home, displaying the values that guided the couple to their success in both life and in work. The Britts are Founders Crown Ambassador, the highest achievement in Amway. Independent Business Owners for 43 years, Bill and Peggy made a career of helping other IBOs succeed, creating a network PAGE 18 Achieve of support around the world and instilling in others the values needed to become leaders themselves. For a lifetime of guidance, Bill and Peggy Britt are the recipients of the 2013 Amway Hero Award for Leadership. A born leader As Peggy recalls, Bill was a leader from a very young age. He was one of eight children and took on responsibility to help the family get by – doing things like managing two paper routes to provide extra money. “He always had to work hard for anything he got,” says Peggy. “It was out of necessity that he drew from his inner being to rise to the occasion.” AMWAY HERO AWARDS 2013 PAGE 19 Achieve Time and again, Bill’s leadership shone. As a young man enlisted in the Army – Bill served in Korea – he was chosen to go to cavalry school. He finished second in his class, despite having no prior college education. Later, after meeting and marrying Peggy, Bill spent just a year as assistant to the city manager of Raleigh before he became a manager himself: first in Sanford, North Carolina, and then in Goldsboro, North Carolina. Alongside Bill was Peggy. Where Bill was outgoing and engaging, Peggy was calm and gentle, supporting him from the wings. Everyone knew that Peggy was Bill’s “quiet strength,” a hand of support that made sure every detail was just right. B “We started the business jointly,” says Peggy, “and he progressed and was very, very busy. He showed the Plan a lot. He traveled a lot, and at the same time held down his position as city manager in the little town we lived in.” And wherever they took the business, success followed. “Bill had no problem in creating a lot of activity and excitement in people,” says Peggy. “He was ‘Mr. Motivator,’ and I was his helper, staying home and tying loose ends together.” Bill and Peggy grew their business as a team, eventually making it their full-time jobs and establishing BWW, one of the largest global IBO organizations in Amway, with networks spanning five continents. Throughout, Bill and Peggy focused on helping others succeed. “You could not outgive him,” says Peggy. “Bill always said the meaning of success was if one person, or a situation, was better off because he was there.” A perpetual legacy What mattered most to the Britts was ensuring that the IBOs they worked with were not only good businessmen and businesswomen, but strong leaders in their own right. “Bill was always in the spotlight,” says Peggy, “and that was fine with me. He was always a leader, a born leader.” Team effort When Bill heard about the Amway™ opportunity, he was balancing several commitments. He was a city manager, a student pursuing his master’s degree in public administration, and an officer in the National Guard. But after many discussions with Peggy, they both recognized an opportunity for self-fulfillment and financial freedom that they couldn’t pass up. PAGE 20 Achieve “Bill would say a good leader would be one who could be depended upon, who was trustworthy,” says Peggy. “Who was honest. Would stand on his word.” Bill lived by these values and helped the IBOs he worked with understand their importance. “Always take care of the people AMWAY HERO AWARDS 2013 in the field first before yourself,” says Angelo Nardone, Executive Diamond and member of BWW’s Management Operating Committee. “Always put yourself last in everything you do. That’s a lesson we’ve always learned.” The Britts also encouraged those they mentored to appreciate other key aspects of life. “You learn about relationships, and you learn about health,” says Shivaram Kumar, Double Diamond and fellow Management Operating Committee member. “You learn about having fun, laughing all the time, and uplifting people.” Peggy explains that anyone can make a difference if they put their mind to it. “It’s very, very humbling,” says Peggy. “People look up to us, but we feel that we really have not done that much at all. It’s not that unusual.” Peggy believes that if Bill were here today, he would share her feeling that this award reflects not simply a personal success, but the success of many IBO leaders around the world. “He would accept it very humbly and thank everyone,” says Peggy. “He would say, ‘This is not my Hero Award, it comes from my heroes. And I have many heroes in this business.’” Achieve PAGE 21 After a distinguished career as an Army Ranger, this IBO has found new purpose in defending the American dream – through Amway. When Lynn Burnett enrolled in the United States Military Academy at West Point at age 18 to join the Army, he didn’t know what to expect. While he came from a military background – his grandfather served in World War I, his great-uncles fought in World War II, and his father served in Korea and Vietnam – much of his family had been members of the Air Force, not the Army. After a while, some difficult experiences at the Academy left Lynn questioning if the Army was what he wanted to do. “I was young,” he says. “I assumed that my experiences at the Academy represented exactly what the Army would be like after graduation. And at that time, I couldn’t see myself going through that for six more years.” So, in what he now describes PAGE 22 Achieve as a moment of immaturity, Lynn dropped out of school and found a job at a local restaurant. But a couple of years later he realized he wasn’t living up to his potential. He enlisted as a private and joined the U.S. Army Rangers. Lynn rose through the ranks during a distinguished 13-year career where he served in the 3rd and 2nd Ranger battalions. He was a machine gunner, platoon leader, combat patrol leader, Ranger instructor, and the first black Ranger officer in the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. For his humble service to America, Lynn Burnett is the recipient of the 2013 Amway Hero Award for Patriotism. AMWAY HERO AWARDS 2013 PAGE 23 Achieve ‘A patriot, but not a hero’ “I was willing to put my life in harm’s way to protect this country,” Lynn says, “to protect our freedom. As they say, ‘Freedom isn’t free.’ We have the obligation to protect it with our lives, or our children will be in bondage. I never paid that cost, but I’ve risked it. I think a patriot is someone who does that.” But despite risking his life, Lynn insists that he’s not a hero. “A hero is someone who dedicates their life to helping lift people up and allowing them to become greater than they could become on their own. Someone with selfless sacrifice, who changes the lives of other people.” “It’s difficult to feel like I deserve this award,” Lynn says. “Mike Carroll? He’s a hero.” (Mike Carroll was awarded the 2012 Amway Hero Award for Patriotism.) “Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel are heroes. Their great-grandkids will know what they did. They’re leaving a legacy.” Finding purpose again After he left the military, Lynn spent time in corporate America, working as a financial manager at a company in Seattle. He had a desk, a 90-minute commute, and a 90-hour work week, but no higher purpose – until a client introduced him to the Amway™ opportunity in 1994. PAGE 24 Achieve Lynn had seen the Amway IBO Compensation Plan before, and had always turned it down. But this time, something spoke to him. “I’m a man of faith, so I don’t think I was led to this business by accident,” Lynn says. “I was introduced to it 19 times, and God said ‘I’m going to give this guy one more chance.’” This time, Lynn took the chance – and thrived. Currently an Emerald, Lynn is in qualification for Founders Emerald and expects to qualify for his Diamond pin within a year. He lives in Seattle with his wife, Jo, and his two daughters, Grace (12) and Hannah (8). For Lynn, the Plan was a way to regain the purpose he had felt when he was a Ranger. “I wanted to impact people’s lives in a positive way and serve my country again,” he says. Giving back As an IBO, Lynn says he now has the time to volunteer with Jo and their daughters at their local USO, where they support soldiers and their families through activities like providing meals before deployment, organizing care packages, and recording messages and videos for loved ones. AMWAY HERO AWARDS 2013 I “Since I can no longer serve,” says Lynn, “the next best thing is helping those that keep us free. It’s the least we can do for the people that put their lives on the line to preserve our freedom.” Lynn also says his kids love being able to help out and say thanks. “It means so much that my kids are learning the importance of serving their country at such an early age,” says Lynn, “and the importance of giving back. I want them to continue the tradition of service that their great-grandfather started.” Amway and patriotism “Amway: The name says it all,” he says. “When Rich and Jay started The American Way Company, they wanted to give others an opportunity to participate in the American dream.” According to Lynn, people lose track of the American dream – they think it’s a house, a white picket fence, a dream car, and 2.3 kids. “The American dream is freedom,” he says. “That’s why people come here. That’s why this country was founded.” But personal freedom is only one part of the American dream. “You can have personal freedom, like we do in America, yet not have the economic freedom to take advantage of it. You need to have personal freedom and economic freedom. That’s what Amway is all about.” “I’ll be in Amway for the rest of my life,” Lynn says. “This is all my wife and I want to do. To help people understand and engage, help them start the business and build it. It’s close to my heart.” Achieve PAGE 25 PAGE 26 Achieve AMWAY HERO AWARDS 2013 ‘Tis the Season to be Giving Celebrate the Season of Giving with a gift that will make a difference in the life of a child living with disabilities.

Achieve PAGE 27 Reaching Emerald is a significant achievement, the result of sustained effort and successful leadership. As Emeralds, IBOs have demonstrated their ability to sell, recruit, train, motivate, and teach others to do the same. They have built healthy organizations and are reaping the rewards of their hard work. Roger Cui | New York Living the dream: “Growing up in this environment (as a second-generation IBO) made me feel like life is full of options,” Roger says. “I can genuinely say I want to pursue medicine because it interests me, not for the money. My Amway™ business will always be there for me and gives me plenty of financial stability, so I don’t have to worry about school loans.” Looking to the future: After completing his medical schooling, Roger plans to do clinical work, research, and community service in the field of oncology. He already volunteers with the American Cancer Society and Asian Americans for Hope. “Amway doesn’t just teach you how to be a successful entrepreneur; it also teaches you how to be a contributing member of society. I’m also looking forward to a great retirement, thanks to my business!” Thelma and Francisco Domínguez | Dominican Republic Living the dream: “By the grace of God, the debt from our computer business is history!” Francisco says. “The most precious gift our Amway business has given us is freedom from that hectic pace of life.” Now instead of waking to an alarm clock, he and Thelma wake up when the kids – Sebastián José (4), Shantalle Marie (2), and Sarah Marie (10 months) – do. Looking to the future: “Our desire is to be with the people in the business – those who brought us in, those already on our team, and those yet to join us,” he continues. “The example we see in our Diamonds is what we would want to be for other people.” Thelma adds, “We also dream of a beautiful house and traveling around the world with people from our team.” Menranda and K.C. Kwan | Texas Living the dream: “K.C. and I have learned the meaning of life is to offer a hand up to others, which is a beautiful thing,” says Menranda. Their Amway™ independent business, of which their daughter Amorette (25) is a part, “has brought our family closer together,” he says. It has also provided a sense of security for the couple, who’ve faced some health challenges in recent years. “I don’t worry about money,” K.C. says. “It’s given me peace of mind.” Looking to the future: “We feel so fortunate to have found this business and for the loving guidance of our upline,” Menranda says. “We need to advance to the Diamond level so that we can show people: You can do it!” Adds K.C., “I like having control over our time, our income, and where we live. It’s total freedom!” Read more about each new Emerald qualifier at: ACHIEVEMAGAZINE.COM > ACHIEVEMENT > EMERALD STORIES PAGE 28 Achieve Living the dream: Hari (a business development manager) and Jayanthi (a registered nurse) are passionate about traveling with family and friends. Thanks to the income from their Amway independent business, one of their dreams came true this summer when they visited the Taj Mahal in India with their college-aged children, Akash and Preethi, and upline mentors. “Seeing our kids’ expressions was worth every effort we’ve put into this business!” declares Jayanthi. RECOGNITION | EMERALD Hari and Jayanthi Narayanan | Massachusetts Looking to the future: “In 2016, our plan is to take our children on an Alaskan cruise to celebrate their graduations,” Jayanthi adds. “But we always keep in mind what our upline mentors have taught us,” says Hari. “‘Success is how many people are better off because of your influence.’ Once we leave our corporate jobs, our mission is to influence many more people to succeed in Amway.” Adan and Mayi Ordoñez | Florida Living the dream: Forced to leave Venezuela due to a political situation, Adan (an engineer) and Mayi (an accountant) overcame many obstacles to build a successful landscaping and housekeeping business. While it provided a good income, “We worked Monday to Monday,” he says. Since discovering the Amway business opportunity, they’ve surpassed their previous income, allowing them to sell their traditional business and find “more balance in life.” Looking to the future: “The best advice we’ve received is to keep learning – don’t stay put,” Adan says. “The enemy of success is believing this is as good as it gets.” He and Mayi, along with their children Adan Jr. (17), Valentina (15), and Kamila (10), yearn to see more of the world and contribute to making it a better place. “We want to convey a vision of a different life and the transformation that is possible through Amway,” Mayi notes. María Luisa Silva and Joel Ordoñez Petit | Florida Living the dream: “Amway is the complete package: the best corporation, the best products, the best educational system,” proclaims Joel, who worked with his brother Adan in traditional business and later followed him into the Amway™ business. “When I heard we could have more control over our time and finances and keep our kids (Luis Fernando, 9, and Alejandro, 1) out of day care, I was sold!” he says. Looking to the future: “If someone told me I could continue building my Amway business but not make a single dollar, I’d find a way to do it!” Joel states. “I cannot explain the depth of love and appreciation we feel, not to mention the satisfaction of continually growing.” For María Luisa, the prospect of “helping people on all levels” fuels her desire to keep reaching out with the Amway opportunity. José Manuel and Rosa Ramírez | Dominican Republic Living the dream: “This business is like a new adventure every day!” José Ml. says. “As you help people live a better life, your business grows.” So do your options. Last year, José Ml. sold his store. “I’m really happy he’s home now and has more time with our son (José Ml. Jr.),” says Rosa, a financial supervisor who is expecting their second child in December. (José Ml. also has another child, Federico, 14.) Looking to the future: “The liberty an Amway™ business offers is incomparable,” Rosa continues. She’s looking forward to experiencing more of it when her maternity leave arrives and she leaves her job permanently. Then they can spend more time at the beach with the kids and travel more. “We also want to build schools here where kids can learn about entrepreneurship,” he says. The average monthly Gross Income for “active” IBOs in Canada was $198. Approximately 48% of all IBOS in Canada, were “active.” Achieve PAGE 29 Babu and Anu Mangipudi | Arizona Living the dream: “The annual Achievers Invitational trips are our favorites because of the way we’re treated,” says Babu, who loves globetrotting with Anu. Daughter Neha (10) and son Dhruv (4) also enjoy the travel associated with their parents’ Amway independent business. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or a trip to India (where they have family, business associates, and family members who are business associates), seeing the world never grows old. Looking to the future: “Our next goal is to free Anu from her job (as a database administrator),” says Babu, a former electrical engineer. “Then we’ll have even more time for travels. We also want to provide a better lifestyle for our parents and a good education for our kids.” Adds Anu, “This business is the best opportunity to achieve what you want out of life and help others.” Paramesh and Bharathi Nalval | New Jersey Living the dream: “Changing pin levels makes life more exciting,” Paramesh declares. “It validates that this business works.” For the couple, who originally were poised to go Emerald 10 years ago, the taste of triumph is sweet. “People [on their team] lost their dream and quit,” Bharathi recalls with tears. “But we didn’t give up on our dream,” Paramesh adds gently. “That experience taught us to keep going, and I’m proud of that.” Looking to the future: Now they’re looking forward to spending increasingly more time with their family here (son Thejas and his wife Christina, and son Thushar) and in India, and getting to all those places on their travel wish list. “Definitely London, Paris, and Venice,” Paramesh says. “And definitely first class!” Bharathi adds. Paramesh also plans to reduce his hours as an IT consultant. Dileep and Chitra Pargaonkar | Georgia Living the dream: “Because of our Amway business, we can make frequent trips to India,” Chitra says. “We were also able to put our sons (Rajas and Tejas) through exclusive colleges.” Moreover, Chitra did not have to return to work as originally planned. “I cannot imagine our life without Amway,” Dileep says. “Not just financially, but the whole package.” Looking to the future: That “package” includes exclusive, high-quality products, personal development, and many new friends. “We want to help a lot of families succeed in Amway,” Chitra says. “We also want to travel more, support more charities, and spend more time with our family.” Adds Dileep, “This business has taught us an unwavering optimism and the dogged determination to succeed, not only in the pursuit of our Amway goals but in all aspects of life.” Sitti Sereethoranakul | New York Living the dream: Sitti knew the drawbacks of traditional business ownership from listening to his dad, the owner of a traditional business: “Unending responsibilities and limited freedom.” So as a college student, Sitti began actively looking for a different business model – and found it with Amway. “You don’t have the headaches of staffing, accounting, and inventory. The Corporation advertises nationally, and experienced IBOs mentor us at no cost!” Simply put: Amway equals ability plus opportunity. Looking to the future: When he eventually takes over his dad’s business, “I will use whatever I learn from building my Amway™ business to help improve it,” Sitti says. “My goal now is Diamond so that I have the time and money to dedicate to church ministry,” he adds. He’d also like to travel to Bangladesh to meet the child he sponsors through World Vision®.

After a highly satisfactory experience with NUTRILITE® supplements, she decided to build an Amway independent business, “because I felt comfortable sharing the products with people,” she says. Now, thanks to training from her upline, she’s also comfortable sharing the Amway opportunity with others and teaching them to succeed in turn. Looking to the future: “My daughter (Helena), who’s in college, has joined me and is great at sharing the products with her peers,” Haiyan says. “I’m hoping through our business to help my husband retire sooner so we have more time to travel and spend as a family.” Learning to interact with others has been a challenge for the former engineer. “But it’s a good challenge. I’m very much enjoying it!” Anatoliy and Olga Yena | California Living the dream: “Amway has brought to our lives the freedom to be at home in the world and still build our business,” says Anatoliy, who started his Amway independent business as a college student in Ukraine. He and Olga reached Platinum before graduation and Emerald by their first wedding anniversary. Currently Diamonds in their homeland, they decided a few years ago to enter the Russian-speaking immigrant market in the U.S. Looking to the future: Daughter Sofy (6) is a world-class traveler like her parents. Says Anatoliy, “We’re enjoying going first class now to bring the Amway opportunity to others.” The couple is grateful for the example of their upline (including Anatoliy’s mom, Founders Crown Ambassador Natalia Yena, and Double Diamond Zbig and Sophia Rek) “and to the business partners who’ve become our family,” Anatoliy says. Jayoung Yoon and Jay Ahn | New Jersey Living the dream: Jayoung, an opera singer, and Jay, a cancer researcher, started their Amway independent business to make extra money. “But we’ve gained so much more than that,” the vocalist from Korea says. “We have made precious friends we love like family. I also love the personal development aspect of the business. And I’ve learned to prioritize my time well, proving you can have a successful Amway business and career.” Looking to the future: “Jay has a mission in life: to help orphans,” Jayoung shares. “When we heard about this opportunity, it renewed his hope of seeing that dream realized … In time, we’d like to see Italy and Vienna. I’d also like to publish a CD of my music.” More than anything, “I want to share this feeling, this hope, with other people,” she says. “Hope empowers people.” The average monthly Gross Income for “active” IBOs in Canada was $198. *Not pictured Approximately 48% of all IBOS in Canada, were “active.” Achieve PAGE 31 Achieving Sapphire exhibits dedication to building a sustainable balanced business and mentoring others to do the same.

Achieve PAGE 51 2013 A s we look to our future and developing the next generation of leaders, we are proud to announce the latest news regarding the Founders Memorial Scholarship Program awards. The Founders Memorial Scholarship Program, in honor of our first Amway Independent Business Owners – Jere and Eileen Dutt, Fred and Bernice Hansen, and Joe and Helyne Victor – was established in early 2013 to keep these pioneers' names, leadership, and legacy in front of new generations of IBOs. More than 50 years after they started their Amway™ businesses, we see the impact of their work and leadership in the lives of their families and of every IBO who embraces the Amway opportunity as a way to reach his or her own American dream. The scholarship program is one more way of helping IBOs and their children reach their dreams. During this inaugural year, the IBOAI and the families of the IBOs for whom the scholarships are named – the Dutts, the Hansens, and the Victors – have each partnered with Amway to generously match the original amount, raising the value of each award to $15,000. A big and heartfelt "Thank you!" goes out to the IBOAI Board, Jody and Gina Dutt, Karen and Jerry DeBlaay, Susan and Skip Ross, and Jody and Kathy Victor for such a generous gesture in supporting this important program. Learn more about each of this year's scholarship winners and about their reactions to learning they had been selected to receive an inaugural Founders Memorial Scholarship at: AchieveMagazine.com/ founders-memorial-scholarship. Start thinking about your application for next year's program. The 2014 program will opens for entries on February 3, 2014.

Who they are, what they do, and the people they influence may differ, but all are distinguished by their profoundly selfless actions and unwavering commitment. For IBOs past and future, the founding members of the American Way Association will always be heroes. In 1959, Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel, along with a few top IBOs, established an organization that would serve as the voice of Amway’s Independent Business Owners, promoting their interests and protecting their rights. To this day, this “voice of the IBO,” represented by the IBOAI®, is a vital component of the Amway™ independent business opportunity and is what makes it unique in the direct selling industry. For this, we have Jere and Eileen Dutt, Fred and Bernice Hansen, and Joe and Helyne Victor to thank. They served as role models for putting people and their needs first, working hard to achieve success, and structuring their businesses to involve their families. now, their leadership continues to impact the lives of their families and every IBO who embraces the Amway opportunity as a way to reach his or her own American dream. In honor of their contributions, the IBOAI, Amway, and the founding families have established a program to help develop the next generation of leaders. The Founders Memorial Scholarship Program offers the: · Jere and Eileen Dutt Memorial Scholarship · Fred and Bernice Hansen Memorial Scholarship · Joe and Helyne Victor Memorial Scholarship These three scholarships will be awarded annually to IBOs or their children. Each serves as a testament to the heroic work of the founding families, as well as encouragement and support for the leaders of tomorrow. The IBOAI is guided by an elected Board of Directors and continues to thrive as it interacts with Amway on the development of products, programs, and events. The association’s strong partnership with the company is proof that the founding members were visionaries.
