Congratulations New Platinums!
Through hard work and unwavering
commitment, you have emerged
as IBO leaders and reached your
first milestone in this business.
This is worthy of celebration!
During New Platinum Conference,
you visit Amway World Headquarters
to see and learn more about the
company. Upon arrival, you’re
enthusiastically welcomed by
hundreds of Amway employees.
Many of you tell us it’s the
highlight of the conference. The
boisterous applause, cheers, and
whistles are given in recognition
of your determination, optimism,
integrity, and passion. Each of
you is a source of positive energy
and hope for fellow IBOs, future

Platinums Learn Essentials
BEST BUSINESS PRACTICES &
PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE
ARE A KEY PART OF NPC
for Growth
The average monthly Gross Income for “active” IBOs was USD $183 (in the U.S.)/CAD $206 (in Canada).
Approximately 53% of IBOs in the U.S., and 49% of IBOs in Canada, were “active.”
IBOs were considered “active” in months in 2013 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 $2,196 (U.S.)/$2,472 (Canada). 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 2013 were excluded.
Before registering as an Independent Business Owner (IBO) powered by Amway, you should read and
understand the AMWAY™ Business Overview Brochure, which contains important information for those
interested in becoming IBOs.
Following is the approximate percentage of IBOs in North America who achieved the illustrated level of success in the IBO Fiscal Year ending August 31, 2015; New Platinum Conference; 0.2%.

NPC gives new Platinums the opportunity
to meet and talk directly with their Amway
National Accounts team and experts
from Amway™ product and program lines.
They learn tips, ask questions, and
see new products, programs, and tools
during an expo designed just for them.
IBOs also learn about best practices
and get resources in educational
sessions that help them build strong,
sustainable businesses and become
the next generation of IBO leaders.
At the May NPC, new Platinum
Ron Jones could see the benefits of
educational sessions right away. “This
has certainly given us a better structure
and even more tools to make us effective
when we goal set with our team,” he said.
IBOs are taught by experts during NPC’s Product Experience
expo and educational sessions. They gain necessary product
knowledge and information to grow healthy businesses.
“When we started as
IBOs, we were told
about this opportunity
and that we could get
here. Now we’re here
and excited we found
this road to success.”
– Griselda Villatoro

Powerful Inspirations
for Success
LEADERS NEW & LEGENDARY SHARE EXPERIENCES AT BUSINESS MEETING
New Platinums came to NPC seeking
information about how to build productive
and successful businesses. And they got
answers from IBOs who’ve done just that.
During the business meeting on Day 2, IBOs
heard the experiences of Emeralds Ainsley and
Simone Lewis from Jamaica, who attended NPC
just last year. Ainsley and Simone shared their
journey: Before becoming Amway IBOs, they
led challenging lives in Jamaica, and in just five
years worked their way to Platinum in 2015.
10 achievemagazine.com
“When we came to NPC last year, it was our first
time at World Headquarters. After coming into an
environment where people cared about us – and
where we were treated like real people the company
respected and loved – we immediately started
telling our team how well Amway treated us. We
learned about goal setting last year, and we started
setting those goals before we even got home.
Our lives were literally transformed,” Simone told
the new Platinums. “When we started we wanted
nothing more than to pay our bills, but now it’s
about whose life we can change,” said Ainsley.

The Lewises’ inspirational example, and the motivational
words from a legend of the business, Legacy
Diamond Bob Andrews, showed new Platinums the
opportunities their Amway™ businesses can provide
are real and attainable with a positive approach.
(below) Yellow lanyards called attention to the amazing
achievements of full-volume Platinums. During the business
meeting, all full-volume Platinums stood up to be recognized.
“Combine optimism
with determination and
resilience, and you have
a strong foundation
and a force of nature
that can’t be stopped.”

Platinums Get a VIP
Welcome
Every new Platinum looks forward to the
Amway World Headquarters tour at New
Platinum Conference. This is their chance
to see the organization that supports their
businesses. It’s the opportunity to learn
about the history and fundamentals of the
company and Amway’s commitment to IBOs.
World Headquarters
Tour Is Amazing
The World Headquarters staff gives a warm
and impressive welcome. Employees line the
entrance and cheer as the new Platinum IBOs
walk a red carpet into headquarters. On their
tour of Amway manufacturing, research labs,
and customer service, the IBOs see firsthand
that while they are in business for themselves,
they are never by themselves – thousands of
Amway employees support them every day.
“You know that Amway is
an incredible business, but
coming here just makes it
so much more real.”
– Brendan Hammond

XS™ Energy Steampunk Circus
A Unique Celebration
Just for Platinums
EXCITING ENTERTAINMENT, FOOD, & FUN MAKE A GREAT NIGHT
At NPC, new Platinums learn from IBO leaders
who share tips on how to develop successful
businesses and teams. And they get valuable
information from Amway experts on how to
run and grow their businesses the right way.
But socializing with and getting to know
fellow new Platinums is also an important
part of NPC. So Amway created an amazing
celebration to do just that. Amway reserved
the Grand Rapids Art Museum for an XS®sponsored party in their honor. The Steampunk
Circus–themed event included a VIP dinner
of steak, pot roast, or portobello mushrooms
served with exotic Peruvian purple mashed
potatoes – and XS® Energy Drink mocktails.
There was also a unique macaroni and
cheese bar, where Platinums could customize
their own dinner with a variety of toppings.
A beautiful selection of desserts served by
circus performers and entertainers topped off
the event. The new Platinums were thrilled.

NPC 2016
“You Have to Get Here”
PLATINUMS ARE HONORED FOR THEIR ACHIEVEMENTS
After a day at World Headquarters, it was time
for the most special and personal event of NPC:
the recognition dinner and celebration. The
new Platinums enjoyed an elegant dinner in a
beautiful ballroom before each of them walked
across the main stage to the cheers of their
fellow new Platinums and Amway employees.
This is what every new Platinum looks forward
to. It’s their special time – the moment they
are recognized for their individual success. It
will be the first of several memorable events
for many, and they all seem to know it’s going
to keep getting even better. “This made it
all real and worth the hard work, but this is
just the beginning. I’ll be back for my Double
Diamond Celebration,” said Tyler Wallace.
“This made it all real and
worth the hard work, but
this is just the beginning.”
– Tyler Wallace
The ceremony was a moving tribute that honored
IBOs for their successes and accomplishments.
When asked what they’d tell downline IBOs
about NPC, many new Platinums said the same
thing: “You have to get here.” Gabriela Garcia
already knows what she’s going to tell
downline IBOs about her NPC experience:
“Tienes que vivirlo” (You have to live it).

CONFIDENCE, KNOWLEDGE, &
PERSISTENCE DRIVE FAST GROWTH
The biggest challenge Wilfredo and Alondra
Escobar faced when they began their
Amway™ business was themselves. They
said they had trouble convincing each
other to really pursue the opportunity.
They came from different countries –
Wilfredo from El Salvador and Alondra from
Mexico – and were still adjusting to their
lives together. “But then we chose to use a
system from an Amway Approved Provider,
and were able to become a real team, and
a better couple, too. That made it easier for
us to help others,” Alondra remembered.
Once the decision was made, they dove right
in, becoming qualified as Platinum in one year
and Founders Platinum six months after that.
“We just kept qualifying, month after month,
until we reached that level,” said Wilfredo.
They say the ongoing support they receive from
Amway has been critical to their success. “The
training we’re able to access on Amway.com
has been very important to us, especially for
learning about the products we’re selling,”
said Alondra. Wilfredo added, “And now our
experience gives us confidence in ourselves and
helps us encourage our team. If they make some
sacrifices and put forth some effort to achieve
what they want in the future, they can do it, too.”
Wilfredo and Alondra say being persistent has
also been key. “If we have an appointment to see
someone, whether it’s to present information
about the business or talk about the products,
we are there,” said Alondra. “But if we don’t have
anyone on our agenda for the day,” said Wilfredo,
“we go and reach out to new prospects.”
They are motivated by the future they want
to create for their 2-year-old son, Fredy. “We
go out and work hard for him,” said Alondra.
“But it’s also about the other families we can
introduce to the opportunity, and the hope
that, with hard work and effort, they can have
this success in their lives as well. We’ve seen
the great things that are waiting for us, and
we want other families to have those, too.”

KEENA JONES & HER GREAT DANES BRING JOY

NPC 2016
ALONG WITH HER TRAINED GREAT DANE THERAPY
DOGS, BELLA AND ZOEY, KEENA JONES VOLUNTEERS AT
SCHOOLS, HEALTH CARE CENTERS, AND BUSINESSES
NEAR HER HOME IN AU TRAIN, LOCATED IN THE UPPER
PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN. Keena is quick to offer
an example of the benefits of pet therapy. “At a
nursing home with Alzheimer’s and dementia
residents, there was one lady who never talked.
After we visited for a while, she started smiling at
me. Then, six months ago, after visiting for over
two years, she started talking. The staff said that
she only talks on the days the dogs come.”
“Bella is laid-back and she
does really well with the
seniors, while Zoey has
more puppy energy, so
she’s better with kids.”
– Keena Jones
The impact of Keena’s work is all the more
remarkable considering she didn’t become
interested in pet therapy until 2010, after her
retirement following 33 years as a corrections
officer. “I was looking for something to do to give
back to the community, and I saw on Facebook®† a
woman who did pet therapy work in Florida using
her Great Dane. So I contacted her,” Keena said.
After she spent some time socializing Zoey as a
puppy and training her as a therapy dog, a local TV
station featured Keena’s story on the news. “Right
after the interview aired I was contacted by Pet
Partners [the leading therapy animal nonprofit in
the United States] and they said they would love to
have us as part of the group,” Keena recalled. She
was also approached by a local nursing home, and
they soon had a full schedule of visits all around
the area.
Thanks to each dog’s unique personality, Keena
and her Great Danes are able to help people with a
broad range of ages and needs. “Bella is laid-back
and she does really well with the seniors, while
Zoey has more puppy energy, so she’s better with
kids,” she said. But the work doesn’t only benefit
others, as her husband, Michael Moore, notes. “It’s
been nothing but positive, and it’s helped Keena
become more relaxed and self- confident.”

NPC 2016
IBO AMANDA READY RECEIVED THE AMWAY
2015 HERO AWARD FOR GENEROSITY AT
ACHIEVERS 2015 BECAUSE OF THE LIFECHANGING WORK HER NONPROFIT IS DOING
IN AN IMPOVERISHED AREA OF COSTA RICA.
Like all other Hero Award winners, Amanda
received $10,000 from Amway, which she
in turn has used to help more people in
need through her organization Ready to
Empower (RTE). When she was presented
with her award, Amanda told the audience
at Achievers, “You have no idea how many
women this will help.” Today, she realizes
the donation’s full impact. “It gave me
hope for the first time in years,” she said.
A trained therapist, Amanda works as a
consultant to other nonprofits and small
businesses, and she donated virtually all of
her income to RTE. Now, after the donation,
she says, “For the first time in two and half
years I can take a minute and really focus
on Ready to Empower. It gave me a cushion
so that I can concentrate on fundraising.”
RTE provides services for impoverished
women in the San Ramon area in Costa
Rica. It’s a Work for Service (WFS)
organization, meaning the women receive
job training, health care, and other services
in exchange for support programs that
address each woman’s particular needs.
Urgent help recently came to Vanessa Torres just
when she needed it. In Costa Rica, governmental
regulations can remove children from a home if
conditions are determined to be a health threat.
Vanessa’s home had dirt floors. During one
rainy season they became mud, which ruined
most of her belongings and, worse, created
unsanitary conditions that made her family ill.
Threatened with losing her children,
Vanessa reached out to RTE for funds to
pour a concrete floor. Vanessa received
those funds and is currently repaying
them through its WFS program.
RTE provides a variety of programs, including
assistance with education, health care, and
wellness. But, according to Amanda, the
most pressing need is adequate housing.
This has led to an exciting new partnership
with Habitat for Humanity Costa Rica. >
“Habitat for Humanity offers more than just amazing
housing support. They remind the women in our
programs that they are important, cared for, and not
forgotten – because feeling valued is priceless.”
– Amanda Ready
(above right) Through RTE’s assistance, Vanessa Torres was able to replace her home’s dirt floors, keep
her children, and protect her family’s health.

(left) Amanda’s first meeting with
Habitat for Humanity Costa Rica.
“My goal is to truly
practice what I preach
to the women in our
programs, which is
that they are important
and they have to take
care of their own
needs in order to take
care of others.”
– Amanda Ready
IN MARCH, AMANDA INVITED MARTHA HERNANDÉZ
BARRANTES, A PROGRAM MANAGER FOR HABITAT
FOR HUMANITY COSTA RICA, TO TOUR RTE’S
FACILITY AND DISCUSS THE AREA’S NEED FOR
EMERGENCY HOUSING. “Habitat for Humanity
offers more than just amazing housing support,”
said Amanda. “They remind the women in our
programs that they are important, cared for, and not
forgotten – because feeling valued is priceless.”
The details of the new partnership are still being
finalized, but its benefits should be felt later this
year, according to Amanda. “I think if all social
support organizations worked together in this
way more people would benefit and we would
be able to change more lives,” said Martha.
“Ready to Empower’s Work for Service program
is one we want to ally with because it is changing
the mentality of the poorest in our country.”
22 achievemagazine.com
Martha added, “The persistence of social,
economic, and labor gaps perpetuate the
vulnerability and discrimination of women.”
Amanda says that’s why RTE also offers a
variety of programs that focus on mental health
and social services programs. “Whatever their
circumstances, these women often create a
cycle of poverty and unhealthy living conditions.
There is real, therapeutic power in sharing
and talking, and our mental health program
provides a safe place for that to happen.”
Amanda is deeply grateful for the support –
financial and otherwise – she’s received from
Amway. “Being an IBO has provided me with the
opportunity to connect with an amazing group of
people who have been advocates for me and RTE,”
she said. “My goal is to truly practice what I preach
to the women in our programs, which is that they
are important and they have to take care of their
own needs in order to take care of others.” ■

IBOs LOVE
Amway Tours
IBOs WHO TOUR AMWAY WORLD HEADQUARTERS
IN ADA, MICHIGAN, OR THE NUTRILITE CENTER
FOR OPTIMAL HEALTH IN BUENA PARK,
CALIFORNIA, GET AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE.
As Rebecca Stockton, Supervisor of the Amway
Experiences and Tours at World Headquarters,
explains, “Tours show IBOs the strength of Amway’s
research, manufacturing, marketing, and IBO
service facilities.” The tours are designed to show
the massive support for IBO businesses. “We feel
it’s our job that, when they come here, they see
the business is the real deal,” Rebecca said.
Offered year-round at both World Headquarters and
the Center for Optimal Health (COH), the tours are
given to visiting IBOs and guests from around the
world. The COH in California hosts over 20,000
annual visitors and conducts tours in five languages.
Both Amway World Headquarters and the Nutrilite
Center for Optimal Health offer a world-class
experience of exhibits and interactive displays
of products and Amway history. Visitors at COH
walk through a re-creation of Nutrilite® brand
28 achievemagazine.com
Amway Tours
Founder Carl Rehnborg’s original laboratory and
see scientists testing actual nutritional products.
At World Headquarters, the tours show visitors
the high-tech research equipment and the Amway
History Exhibit that tells the story of founders Rich
DeVos and Jay Van Andel from their first business
ventures to the global company of today.
The most fascinating moments for many IBOs
come when they are asked to test products and
give feedback. “It’s more tangible when they can
participate like that,” Rebecca said. At the end
of her tour of World Headquarters, IBO Maria
Martinez said, “What we learned here today
empowered us to go and teach others.”
Amway tours demonstrate that while IBOs are
in business for themselves, they’re never by
themselves with the support of thousands of
Amway employees. For Amway staff, the tours
are the opportunity to thank IBOs for their
hard work in growing amazing businesses.

Congratulations
NEW Emeralds
Miguel and
Elvia Rubio
North Carolina
What they did before: Miguel worked in
construction, and Elvia cleaned houses.
Dreaming big: Miguel and Elvia Rubio
are proud of their success and happy
with the positive changes Amway has
brought to their lives. “A lot of times we
think to ourselves, ‘Why didn’t we do this
sooner?’” Elvia said.
Raj and
Manjit Madhar
Ontario
What they did before: Raj was a truck
driver and still is today. Manjit worked in a
plastics factory.
Dreaming big: Raj and Manjit Madhar’s
success is extraordinary. Just 14 years
ago, Raj spoke little English and Manjit
worked in a plastics factory. “But I had a
dream inside of me,” Raj said. “Now I can
speak in front of 5,000 people.”
They believed from the start that there was
real hope for more financial security through
their Amway™ business. Their first large
check enabled them to pay off all their debt,
and Manjit was able to leave her job eight
years ago. Raj plans to leave his soon.
Both Miguel and Elvia are now able to
dedicate themselves full time to their
Amway™ business. “It has given us the
freedom to decide for ourselves how to
manage our time,” said Miguel. Since
becoming IBOs, they’ve been able to take
their four children to a theme park in
Orlando for the first time. “It was a dream
come true,” recalled Elvia.
They realize that their success depends
on motivating others. “If you want to do
small things, do them on your own. But
if you really want to do great things, you
have to do them as a team,” said Miguel.
“In this business there is no
such thing as luck. There is
only education and action.”
– Miguel
Today, they like to travel with their children –
daughter Anmol, 11, and son Arshir, 8 –
and they both drive new cars. And soon, the
family plans on moving into a large new home.
“It’s not like we’re just building a business.
We’re introducing other people to healthy
brands,” Raj said. Manjit added, “Amway
has changed our lives for the better.”
“Early on, we realized this was
something we could do – there was
hope, and we could build on it.”
– Manjit
R ory and
MacKenzie Fulcher
Nebraska
What they did before: Rory and MacKenzie
were marketing consultants and still are today.
Dreaming big: Rory and MacKenzie
Fulcher’s introduction to the Amway
opportunity came when they were in college
– he was a business student and MacKenzie
was a pre-veterinary medicine major. Both
believed in the opportunity from the start.
“I was convinced,” said Rory. “I was so
excited I couldn’t sleep!”
Today, their success allows them to give
money and time to their church and other
organizations they care about. And their
close family now includes the community
they’ve built with their Amway team. “Our
oldest daughter loves her ‘big friends,’ as
she calls them,” said Rory laughing.
Soon their Amway™ business may allow the
Fulchers to leave their traditional jobs.
“This business has replaced our daytime
income many times over,” said MacKenzie.
“We are excited to live life on our terms and
be 100% in control of both time and money.”
“I was convinced the first night
that I saw the Amway IBO
Compensation Plan.”
– Rory
The average monthly Gross Income for “active” IBOs was USD $183 (in the U.S.)/CAD $206 (in Canada).
Approximately 53% of IBOs in the U.S., and 49% of IBOs in Canada, were “active.”
IBOs were considered “active” in months in 2013 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 $2,196 (U.S.)/$2,472 (Canada). 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 2013 were excluded.
Before registering as an Independent Business Owner (IBO) powered by Amway, you should read and
understand the AMWAY™ Business Overview Brochure, which contains important information for those
interested in becoming IBOs.
Following is the approximate percentage of IBOs in North America who achieved the illustrated level of success in the IBO Fiscal Year ending August 31, 2015; Emerald 0.0413%.

NPC 2016
Achieving Emerald requires a strong demonstration of an IBO’s ability to sell, sponsor, train,
motivate, and teach others to do the same. Emeralds have built healthy organizations and
are reaping the rewards of their achievements.
Fer nando and
Carla Z avala
Miguel and
Gloria R angel
Texas
Illinois
What they did before: Miguel drove a
forklift, and Gloria packaged fruit.
What they did before: Fernando
was a restaurant cook, and Carla
cleaned houses.
Dreaming big: Making ends meet took a
toll on Miguel and Gloria Rangel. “Before
we started the business I had very bad
habits,” said Miguel. Gloria added, “My
life was just work, work, work.”
They attended a convention and
immediately believed starting their own
Amway™ business together could improve
how they communicate with each other
and family life with daughters Victoria,
11, and Stephanie, 2. And they were
right. Today, their communication skills
are strong and they get to spend quality
time with their daughters.
“We don’t worry about whether we
will be able to pay the light bill or the
water bill. We feel unburdened and
we understand each other better as a
couple,” said Gloria.
“The most rewarding thing
is touching other families’
lives and watching them grow
and improve.”
– Miguel
Dreaming big: All it took was a check
for $6.55 to make Fernando and Carla
Zavala realize that the Amway opportunity
offered them hope for a better life.
“We were having a rough time financially,”
said Fernando. “All we did was work to
pay the bills.”
Ivan and
Angeles Cuevas
Tennessee
What they did before: Ivan was
a housepainter, and Angeles was
a homemaker.
Dreaming big: Ivan and Angeles Cuevas
credit Amway for their success and for
life changes that energized them in ways
they never thought possible. Ivan was
convinced about the opportunity from
the start, but it took Angeles a while.
“I thought ‘Amway is really changing
him,’” she remembered, “so I dove into
the business, too.”
But that first check motivated them.
Now freed from working for others,
Fernando and Carla value what they are
able to do for others. “Through Amway
we’ve seen couples and families really
become closer,” said Fernando. And Carla
added, “People with low self-esteem can
now look others in the eye because they
know that they are winners.”
“The secret to our success is
listening and focusing on others,
and helping them achieve their goals.
Our success comes after that.”
– Fernando
Building their business also improved
their relationship. “Now we are a better
couple because we are always together,
focused on our goals,” said Ivan. They
agree wholeheartedly on what Amway
has done for their lives, but Angeles said
it best. “Amway opened a lot of dreams
for us. Any goal we set, we can achieve.”
“We give people hope and
that’s what keeps us going.”
– Angeles

congratulations: Emeralds
José Manuel and
Lupita Valadez
Illinois
What they did before:
José Manuel delivered pizzas, and
Lupita was a cashier.
Dreaming big: José Manuel Valadez
describes life before he and his wife
Lupita were introduced to Amway as
“stuck in a rut.” But they saw the
opportunity offered a better future and
began building their business full time
immediately. Now they describe their
lives as completely changed, with less
stress, more time with their children, and
best of all, said José Manuel, “We are
able to offer the opportunity to others,
so they can build a business and a
better future for their families.”
Pedro and
Mireya Mejía
Wisconsin
What they did before: Pedro installed
windows, and Mireya was a hotel
housekeeper who also cleaned houses
on the side.
Dreaming big: A new friendship led to
Pedro and Mireya Mejía’s introduction
to the Amway opportunity. Now they
enjoy the time their success allows
them to spend with their children.
“When we started educating ourselves
for the business, we realized that it
could also teach us how to be better
parents,” said Mireya, who went on
to explain, “Changing in order to be
successful in the business starts with
changing at home.”
The Valadezes’ goal is Diamond, and
they know how they’ll get there: “By
having a good attitude, knowing how to
form relationships with people, and most
important, by being completely honest at
all times with the team, other IBOs, and
customers,” said José Manuel.
“We control how we spend
our time in order to build the
business and an even better
future for our family.”
– José Manuel
They emphasize that the business
is driven by Amway™ products. Pedro
says that growth is based on building a
balanced business of using products,
getting to know them, selling them to
customers, and sponsoring others to
do the same. “We have to keep sharing
the opportunity and blessing the other
IBOs and business leaders who taught
us how to get closer to other people,”
Mireya said.
“Thanks to this business I have
been able to become stronger as
a human being.”
– Pedro
Juan Carlos
and Imelda Lopez
Utah
What they did before: Juan Carlos worked
in construction, and Imelda worked in a
bakery, a Chinese restaurant, and a food
distribution warehouse.
Dreaming big: Juan Carlos and Imelda
Lopez spent little time together, living
paycheck to paycheck, and, as Juan Carlos
describes it, “waiting for the weekend
to come.” But when Imelda’s co-worker
introduced them to the Amway opportunity,
they realized they could improve their
finances and family life.
Today they are more financially stable
and able to spend their time as they
choose, balancing time spent building their
business with that spent having fun with
their children, Vanessa, 9, and Carlitos, 5.
“We decide for ourselves what we do,” said
Juan Carlos.
They are also loyal to Amway™ products and
their team. “When a new IBO comes to our
house, they see an Amway house,” said
Imelda. Juan Carlos added, “Now we see
‘work’ as helping someone reach a new pin
level. Our job is to inspire others and help
them realize that they can do it too.”
“Now we see ‘work’ as helping
someone reach a new pin level.
Our job is to inspire others and
help them realize that they can
do it too.”

Luis R uiz Ortiz
NPC 2016
Andy Wu and
Angela Huang
California
What he did before: Luis was an audio
editor for an Amway Approved Provider.
California
What they did before: Andy was a
contractor, and Angela owned a
day-care center.
Dreaming big: Luis Ruiz Ortiz had a
good job. “But something in me told me
that I can do something more,” he said.
“I realized that while the opportunity
offered me the hope of a better lifestyle,
for others who were less fortunate, it
offered a real lifeline.”
Luis sees team members achieving
Platinum as rewarding as his own
success, and his drive to help others is
stronger than ever. “Now I can live life
to the fullest. I don’t have to run to a
traditional job every morning. But I still
have a commitment to help more people
achieve real freedom and make their
own dreams come true,” he said.
While Luis enjoys reading and exercise
during his free time, he’s intent on
reaching Diamond and, eventually, Crown
Ambassador. But the only way to do that,
he says, is to continue doing what has
brought him to Emerald.
“I still spend the majority of
my spare time sharing this
wonderful opportunity with
more people, so they can
benefit from it, just like I did.”
– Luis

Dreaming big: Andy Wu installed an
eSpring® UV Water Purifier for a friend
and, impressed by the product, asked
about it. The friend then showed Andy
and his wife, Angela Huang, the Amway
opportunity.
Efr aín and
Jarumi Hipólito
California
What they did before: Efraín and Jarumi
sold novelty items at a street stand.
Dreaming big: A local TV personality
who frequented the restaurant Efraín
and Jarumi sold novelty items outside of
introduced himself and told them that he
knew of a better way. “We knew we had
to change the way we were living, and we
were excited,” said Efraín.
Now they’re building their business full
time, and their success has given them
more time to spend with their children,
son Calvin, 17, and daughter Emily, 11.
They believe in the Amway opportunity
because it’s built on principles and values
their family lives by. “We have built the
capacity and capability to help others
achieve our level of success. This gives us
a tremendous sense of accomplishment,
and that is most rewarding thing of all,”
Angela said.
“I love the products, the business,
and the company.”
– Angela
They immediately invested a lot of time
into learning more about the business,
driven by the knowledge that becoming
educated about the business and
products was the way to get ahead. Today
they are driven to give others hope. Efraín
and Jarumi emphasize to their team that
education is what the business is all
about. “It takes more than just filling out
an application. You have to get informed,
work hard, go out there, sell products
to customers and keep sharing the
opportunity,” Efraín said.
“We know that because of
what we do more families can
be rewarded.”
– Efraín

congratulations: Emeralds
Tim Fenelus
and Yendi Gerve
Haiti
What they did before: Tim ran a
construction company and worked in
telecommunications, and Yendi was an
architecture student.
Dreaming big: Months after Tim Fenelus
lost his job, he and his wife, Yendi
Gerve, decided to build their Amway™
business full time in February 2013. By
June, they had already become Silver
Producers. “We live with the excitement
of chasing our dreams,” said Tim.
“What we believe, we can achieve.”
Javier Frias
Amway has given them freedom to
spend more time with their 5-year-old
daughter, Yakira Winonah, and Yendi is
expecting their second child soon.
California
What he did before: Javier worked
in construction.
Dreaming big: Personal and financial
setbacks left Javier Frias, as he describes
it, “without hope.” Impressed by the
changes in his sister’s life after she had
become an IBO, his own introduction to
the Amway opportunity provided a sense
of direction. He became driven.
Now Javier uses his time as he decides
and enjoys strong relationships with his
children – all of them IBOs. In fact, one
daughter’s Platinum qualification resulted
in Javier reaching Emerald. He believes
that as long as they work together, the
Amway opportunity can change the lives
of many. “There are a lot of people out
there who deserve to be as happy as I
am now,” he said.
They say the Fast Track Incentive
Program has been useful in training
new IBOs, and their own use of Amway™
products like Nutrilite® Garlic Heart Care
and the Artistry® Men Skincare System
has made them confident to recommend
and sell them to others.
“We’ve found that building this business is
really about helping other people stand on
their own two feet,” said Tim. “It’s about
making them believe in themselves.”
“We live with the excitement of
chasing our dreams. What we
believe, we can achieve.”
– Tim
“Amway has given me the
freedom to become someone
else’s hope.”
Alfredo and
Digna Pacheco
Dominican Republic
What they did before: Alfredo and Digna
were politicians and still are today.
Dreaming big: Alfredo and Digna Pacheco
learned about the Amway opportunity
and teamwork when they left their first
meeting. Their car battery was dead, and
the IBOs attending the meeting helped fix
it. “That’s when we realized that solidarity
is common practice in Amway,” said
Alfredo. “And that’s when we made up
our minds to join.” They learned the Plan
fast and put in a great deal of effort right
away, becoming Silver Producers in three
months and Platinum five months later.
Amway has had an impact on how they
perform their jobs as politicians. “Now
we exercise leadership in a whole new
way,” said Alfredo. “Everyone participates.
Incorporating that into other areas of our
lives has led to great success.”
They are constantly busy but would have it
no other way. “Meetings with our team feel
like family gatherings. We relax and laugh
together, all while building the business,”
said Digna.
– Javier
“The business can transform us
as people, and if we allow that
to happen, life is going to smile
at us.”
– Alfredo

Eddy and Anita Rosales met through
Amway, married, and within five years
reached Founders Emerald. “And now
we’re going for Diamond,” Eddy said.
They both overcame challenges in starting
their business. Eddy says it was initially
difficult to get people to really see the
opportunity. “But we overcame that by
having good information and by thinking
of better ways to address people’s needs
that go beyond money,” he said.
Anita was shy at first, but she says the
training and educational materials Amway
provided helped. “I conquered those fears
and grew as a person,” she said. “Now I feel
confident in what I’m doing for my future.”
C O M P L E M E N TA RY S T R E N G T H S:
TOO L S O F IN SP I R AT I O N :
Their unique talents combine to create a dynamic
and successful team – and this is something
they realized from early on. “In this business,
logic and emotion go hand and hand,” Anita
said. “He is the logic, and I am the emotion.”
Eddy and Anita say they’re inspired by the
success stories of people who have reached
high levels in the business. They say these
stories give them the incentive they need for
their own success. “They help us overcome
our fears and think outside the box in terms
of what we can aspire to,” Eddy explained.
“I’m like a teacher at school – more rigid and
direct. Anita is more flexible and enthusiastic,”
Eddy said. “She does the planning and
organizing, and she never hesitates to tell me,
‘I think that the best thing for us to do is …’
Her strengths make up for my weaknesses.”
“In this business,
logic and emotion
go hand and hand.”
– Anita

Anita also uses the word teacher to describe
her husband. “He has an incredible logic behind
every explanation that he gives,” she said.
“The way he explains the business and products
and performs demonstrations is fantastic.”
ACT TODAY, NOT TOMORROW:
Both Eddy and Anita are motivated by a
simple truth: “We are in this world for a short
time,” said Eddy. “There are things that we
must do, and we shouldn’t postpone them.
In this business you have to live in a very
motivated, focused way. We live more than
most people in the same amount of time.”

criteria make this very special reward easier to reach

among the first to enjoy the new Diamond Dreams.
This new fiscal year carries added excitement as
we prepare for a major event: A60, Amway’s
60-Year Anniversary Celebration in May 2019 with
leaders from around the world. September 1, 2017,
is the start date to qualify for the largest ever gathering
Mandalay Bay is the trademark of Mandalay Corp.
*The new Diamond Dreams program begins with trips earned during
IBO qualification year September 1, 2016–August 31, 2017. Qualifiers
can choose from four location options effective September 1, 2017.
**Qualifications during Performance Year 2018 (begins
September 2017, ends August 2018).
The average monthly Gross Income for “active” IBOs was USD $183 (in the U.S.)/CAD $206 (in Canada).
Approximately 53% of IBOs in the U.S., and 49% of IBOs in Canada, were “active.”
IBOs were considered “active” in months in 2013 when they attempted to make a retail sale, or
presented the Amway Independent Business Owner Compensation Plan (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 $2,196 (U.S.)/$2,472 (Canada).
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 2013 were excluded.
The IBO Compensation Plan offers monthly and annual bonuses that IBOs can earn in accordance
with their contract with Amway. IBOs also may qualify for the Amway “Growth Incentives Program (GI
Program), a collection of discretionary programs separate from the IBO Compensation Plan and that
can vary from year to year. IBO eligibility for the GI Program is at Amway’s discretion. The GI Program is
available only to IBOs whose conduct demonstrates high ethical and business standards aligned with
the goals and objectives of Amway and its related businesses.
Following are approximate percentages of IBOs in North America who achieved the illustrated levels of success in the IBO Fiscal Year ending
August 31, 2015: Diamond 0.0163%; Diamond Club & Executive Diamond Club; 0.05%, Diamond Dreams; 0.02%.
For more details on qualifying for the GI Program and other requirements, see information on Amway.com or contact Amway Sales. Before registering as an IBO, individuals
should read and understand the Amway™ Business Overview Brochure, which contains important information for those interested in becoming IBOs.

Founders Platinum IBO Builds a
Healthy Life
Business
B
&
with Nutrilite® Supplements
Since becoming an IBO in 2013, Jamaica-based Tsarita Nkrumah
has used Nutrilite® supplements to fuel her business. Combining
her knowledge of the products, her loyalty to a plan, and – most
importantly – her 100% commitment to the business has helped
her achieve Founders Platinum in a short time.
“Action equals change in life, and committing
99% to anything is not good enough.” – Tsarita
TSARITA SHARES THREE KEY TIPS
1. BE THE PRODUCT EXPERT
2. INVEST IN HEALTH
3. UNDERSTAND CUSTOMERS
Product knowledge is a key part
of Tsarita’s Nutrilite®business.
Tsarita uses the Nutrilite®
Supplement Guide both
as a learning tool and a
visual for her customers.
Tsarita knew her customers and
started with products that fit
their lives. Of her supplement
customers, 80% who use Nutrilite®
Men’s Pack or Women’s Pack
started with Twist Tubes.
“I use my Nutrilite® Supplement
Guide and Optimal Health catalog.
You get educated as soon as you
open them. Everything you need to
show the quality and credibility of
the Nutrilite™ brand is right inside the
catalog cover. I also take Nutrilite®
supplements every day so I can talk
about my experiences genuinely.”
“People like to be
associated with # 1,
so I start with that.

Then I talk about the quality
of the supplements, and
about investing now instead

‘Are you going to invest in

you now, or are you going to

IBOAI®
®†
IBOAI Lends Support
to New Platinums
and All IBOs
A
s the voice of all IBOs, including new Platinums,
the IBOAI®† consistently lends support and
inspiration to the emerging leaders during
New Platinum Conferences (NPC) – and beyond!
After new Platinums complete their conference
registration, the IBOAI®† staff welcomes them to
Grand Rapids, Michigan – home of the IBOAI®† offices
and Amway World Headquarters. Bob Andrews,
long-standing IBOAI®† Board Member and current
IBOAI®† Chairman, spoke about the “Foundation of
Success” during the NPC business meeting. He
encouraged Platinums to build a strong foundation
filled with optimism, determination, and resiliency. Bob’s presentation at NPC is one of many ways
the IBOAI®† leadership partners with Amway to
offer meaningful recognition events, programs, and
educational workshops for IBO leaders. In the planning
of events, as well as during events like NPC, Achievers,
and Diamond Club, recognized IBO leaders like Bob
and Terry Andrews, Jody and Kathy Victor, Howie and
Teresa Danzik, Bill and Sandy Hawkins, and several
others add the value of experience and expertise.
IBOAI®† leadership knows it takes hard work to build
a business – and they understand how beneficial
support can be for IBOs on their journey. It’s why they
believe in the IBOAI®† and the value of membership.
Jody Victor reminds us, “At just $1 a month, the
rewards of membership far exceed the cost.”
Bob adds, “IBO members are represented by
25 Diamonds on the IBOAI®† who are constantly
working with Amway on their behalf. They work
tirelessly to help ensure the Amway opportunity
remains the best opportunity out there.”
“Through partnership between the IBOAI®† and Amway,
we’ve made great strides in moving this business
forward,” said Jody. “For example, the business
enhancements implemented in recent years are
remarkable: long-term growth incentives, Accreditation
Plus, succession planning, paperless registration,
and revisions to the Rules of Conduct.” Through it all,
Rick Abraham provides legal counsel to the IBOAI®†.
As a dedicated member of the IBOAI®† executive
committee, Bill Hawkins has witnessed the Alternative
Dispute Resolution process in action and endorses
its performance on behalf of all IBOs and this
business. Bill explains, “The IBOAI®† offers this
resolution process to help ensure IBOs are treated
fairly and the Rules of Conduct are being followed.”
The IBOAI®† consistently adheres to the philosophy: open
communication is key to business success. Regularly
scheduled conference calls between IBOAI®† leadership
and leaders in the field provide updates and welcome
feedback. To keep the field informed, the IBOAI®† shares
important information and events through The Voice
eNewsletter, IBOAI.com, ibofacts.com, Facebook®††,
Twitter®†††, YouTube®‡, and Instagram®‡‡. IBOs have online
access to accounting tips and advice by Joe DePetris,
CPA, at IBOAI.com. For questions, the dedicated
staff of the IBOAI®† is available by phone or email. In addition to all the benefits mentioned above, the
IBOAI®† chairman reminds us, “IBOAI®† membership
provides you the opportunity to be part of an
Association created by the business pioneers
with Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel – all to help
protect the future of your family business.”

It Keeps Getting Better
Because of You – Thank You!
You are all amazing. I’m constantly in awe of your commitment, achievements, and
leadership. You’ve crossed several milestones this past year, and I thank you on behalf
of all the Amway North America staff who continue to support you every day.
I’ve truly enjoyed spending time with many of you during several meetings this past year. From New
Platinum Conferences, where we were proud to celebrate the very first leadership milestone, as you
learned and planned for your future goals. To Achievers, which brought together the largest group
of IBOs to experience new ideas while recognizing the newest high achievers. To Diamond Club in
Hawaii, where Amway celebrated many new leaders for their exceptional performance. And at this
year’s North American Growth Council in Singapore, where we partnered together to lay strategic
focus on “key elements” with the intent of building a healthy and sustainable business.
It’s a great pleasure to reward and recognize our key leaders
at Amway events because you have worked hard to move
to the next level of leadership in the Amway business.
I’m especially excited about Amway’s 60th Anniversary
in Las Vegas in May 2019. It’s the largest-ever, oncein-a-lifetime global gathering of Amway’s top leaders at
Diamond and above, and you have to be there. We’re
working with NAGC and IBOAI®† leaders on building an
exciting special program for Emeralds who meet specific
growth criteria leading up to the momentous A60 event.
There’s no better time to continue to grow your business!
We have fantastic leadership in North America – all of
you. Every achievement, every level you reach, every
event you qualify to attend is a recognition of your
accomplishments. I’m thrilled to honor you at each of
these events, and thank you again for your success. This
is your business, you set your goals, and you are the fuel
that drives it. But always know that there are thousands
of people that stand behind you to help you succeed!
My best wishes for another great year.
