We were poor and had a difficult childhood. Since young, we nurtured a simple dream that we held onto resolutely – to live a blessed, happy and accomplished life. We were taught that by working hard, we could achieve a good education and earn a good living.

Overcoming various adversities while growing up made me (Ken) more confident and determined. I graduated from University Malaya, majoring in Civil Engineering, and worked for an established company thereafter. Everything went exactly as planned.

However, we found that we had drifted far from our dreams, so much so that it was impossible for us to fulfil them. We realised that the only way to do so was to establish our own business. We searched high and low for two years for a business that met our requirements and needs of minimal capital, continuous guidance and support, business and personal growth, secure and sustainable income as well as the chance to give back to the society.

At last, we found AMWAY™.

I was 31 years old while Carmen was 24 years old when we quit our respective jobs and focused on AMWAY wholeheartedly. We’ve seen many people come and go during the course of building our AMWAY business. We refrained from being like them and soldiered on by keeping our thoughts and actions simple. We set our sights on achieving two goals – qualifying as Diamond and as members of the Founders Council.

Our efforts eventually paid off. AMWAY improved our overall well-being and we have absolute freedom in determining how we want to live our lives. We have finally achieved an ideal and balanced lifestyle. We are now full-time parents to our lovely children.

We learnt to treasure, appreciate and be thankful to those around us. We also broadened our horizons by experiencing personal growth and widening our social circle. This business enriched our knowledge, equipped us with the right attitude and a positive mindset.

Our experience in AMWAY has taught us to enjoy the ride instead of focusing too hard on the outcome of the journey.
