“We are extremely proud to be
part of this community.

”

“We started our entrepreneurial journey in a “brick and mortar” business in 1997, when we bought a community newspaper in a small town called Maleny, in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland in Australia.

Cameron is a professional journalist, and had been working as the Commercial Features Editor on the Coast’s largest daily newspaper, and I had been working as a Child Protection Officer. So this marked the beginning of our lives as self-employed people.

We had a one-year-old baby, and we mortgaged our house to buy our business. I think that many people around us thought we were insane to make this decision (I suspect we were), but we were very determined to make our own way.

 We worked and built our business over ten very long and hard years. So often in this industry, we hear people talk about how hard it is to work for a boss, but it is rare that you hear the boss’s story. The responsibilities involved with employing staff can be very stressful.

At the end of 2006, we sold our business to a large media company, APN Australian Publishing, and managed our newspaper on their behalf through the transition. To cut a long story short, this experience reminded us of the reasons why we wanted to be self employed.

At the beginning of 2008, we made the leap into a well-known MLM, and were very excited at the thought of growing a lucrative business, from home; in our own time, and without all of the other things we were anxious to get away from in our brick and mortar business.

 Unfortunately, we found that our experience was similar to that of so many people in traditional MLM and network marketing.

We made the decision to walk away from it fairly quickly, because we were not prepared to use the “old school” marketing methods we were being taught to build our business. They were simply not a good fit for us. And we were disturbed by what we felt was a “churn and burn” attitude amongst the successful people in that company. Good business should represent a win win situation for everyone involved.

At the beginning of November 2008, Cameron found this business model, and we were so impressed by what we saw that we joined straight away. We feel incredibly privileged to be part of these communities.

 We attended our first conference in March this year, and being able to personally meet the founders only strengthened our conviction that this was, without a doubt, the place to be in the network marketing industry.

The ethics, integrity and commitment to education of all of these people inspire us every day.
 We can see the potential to achieve whatever we want unfolding in front of us, and what makes this realization even more exciting, is the knowledge that we can help other people to kick whatever goals they want in their own lives as well.”
