Before joining AMWAY as full-time AMWAY Business Owners (ABOs), I ran my own name-card printing business while Jane was an assistant manager in an international bank.

When our sponsor first shared the AMWAY business with me, I signed up as I thought it was a good opportunity to gain more contacts to expand my existing business. Eventually, I felt attending the meetings was not worth the effort. My upline continued to follow up on me and kept inviting me to join AMWAY-sponsored events, though I declined each time.

One day, she invited me to attend a launch organised by AMWAY. I convinced myself to attend the event to look for potential customers for my printing business but surprisingly, I was inspired by another person who had also joined AMWAY at the same time as me. After gaining better knowledge about AMWAY’s business philosophy and values, I realised that AMWAY could actually offer the lifestyle Jane and I have always desired.

To me, the biggest challenge was trying to convince Jane about AMWAY, as she had always viewed direct selling negatively. I explained that I would barely have time to spend with her and there would be no financial security if I continued running my conventional business. After she understood the reasons why I wanted to build the AMWAY business, we attended various AMWAY events together, where she managed to learn that anyone who nurtures a dream and believes in AMWAY will succeed in this equal and transparent business opportunity, regardless of their educational or personal background.

Making the right choice goes hand-in-hand with working hard. We focused on building up our business, one step at a time, and took one year to become full-time ABOs. Our mentors, Diamond Shawn Lee & Priscilla Liau, were always there to guide us with useful advice on personal growth and team leadership.

During the course of building our business, we faced various objections from friends and family. However, we have always viewed those challenges as a source of motivation that spurs us to grow while making us stronger and more distinguished. We strongly believe in the “Sharing is Caring” mindset and have always shared the AMWAY business and its products with those around us. We’re pleased to see that our hard work has paid off and that our parents, who initially had a negative impression about direct selling, have now become our enthusiastic business associates.

We’ve been invited to join the AMWAY Leadership Seminar in Alaska, Japan, Los Angeles, Dubai, Paris, Sydney, Hokkaido, Auckland and Las Vegas. We’ve realised that the pursuit of wealth is not the sole purpose of life. We’ve fulfilled our dreams and now we’re equipped with an even stronger sense of mission to help more people to succeed and enjoy the quality lifestyle like we do.

Believe in what you do and persevere. AMWAY provides an excellent platform for people to build their own business and, in the process, to help others succeed. Your downlines will look up to you for guidance and inspiration. Set a good example - that’s the only way to take your team members to greater heights.

Jane and I would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Lum Swee Meng & Chan Lee San Betty for introducing AMWAY to us. Special mention goes to Emerald Chong Juang Kai & Patricia Li Siok, Diamond Shawn Lee & Priscilla Liau, Founders Emerald Lee See Hik & Wong Ching Beng, Diamond Gan Yok Lee & Huang Chen Tow, Executive Diamond Robert Yap Kim Choo & Lily Yee Lai Wah, Executive Diamond Cheong Kwee Fatt & Ng Kim Mooi, and Crown Siew Fang & Celia Wong for their support and encouragement. We would also like to take this opportunity to thank Crown Ambassador Peter Lee & Choi Kit and all leaders in our organisation for their guidance, other AMWAY business associates, and AMWAY staff for their cooperation.

Dare to dream, and dare to charge ahead! This is the only way for us to succeed!
