Before becoming a full time AMWAY Business Owner (ABO), I had many different jobs, i.e. as a car accessories dealer, a motorcycle mechanic and a car salesman, while my wife was a clerk.

When we decided to build our AMWAY business, both my wife and I made learning our priority. We attended every meeting regardless of the weather and was rewarded with new knowledge each time. We persisted in seeking personal development, improving our communication skills and boosting our self-confidence.

AMWAY may not be a business that you're interested in, but it is a business that helps you to fulfil your dreams and give you the time to pursue the things you are really keen about. If you're a dreamer, let's realise our dreams together and embrace an all-round successful life.

After less than five years of hard work, we qualified for the AMWAY Leadership Seminar (ALS). Since then, we have been invited to numerous exotic places including Hong Kong, Beijing, Hawaii, Paris, Seoul, South Africa, New Zealand, Osaka, Tokyo, Hokkaido, Melbourne, Perth, Gold Coast, Sydney, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

After qualifying Diamond, we were invited to the inaugural Regional New Diamond Rally cum International Film Festival held in Busan, South Korea. The trip featured a series of exciting programmes and an informative business session hosted by AMWAY's top leaders. It created a firm foundation for the future development and sustainability of our career, thus setting us on the right path for our A60 goal.

In 2017, we are looking forward to the much anticipated African Safari experience in Tanzania and the upcoming ALS on the ultra-luxurious Mediterranean Cruise. Thanks to AMWAY for transforming our ordinary life into an extraordinary one, while making our life more colourful.

The biggest obstacle in building a successful AMWAY business is to overcome the challenges within yourself. We believe that success is a combination of foresight, faith, planning, positive mindset, perseverance and action. Through AMWAY, we've come to recognise our sense of self-worth, while adding value to other people's life. More excitingly, we're able to enlighten and brighten the life of various individuals as well as nurture their dreams.

In AMWAY, it's not about how many people you outperform; it's about how many people you've helped that matters. Nobody is perfect in this world. Only a high performing team can help you create a successful career. The biggest threat in life is when you lack crisis awareness. The biggest trap in life is when you rest on your laurels.

In AMWAY, you need to put in effort before you can excel. You learn before you reap. You have to conduct yourself well before you can make things happen. You help people in order to build your own career. You can't build an everlasting, sustainable enterprise without conforming to AMWAY's philosophy and rules. So, let's strengthen our faith as we forge ahead towards a more successful career!

Last but not least, I would like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to my family members, friends, team members, Executive Diamond Liew Keang Yaip & Kim Hai, Emerald Heng Peck Lang, Founders Executive Diamond Tan Kim Hoe & Jit Wah, Diamond Tan Boon Hoe & Ng Giok Ten, Diamond Mohd Aris Akib & Noraya Hamid, Diamond Vincent & Rina Yong, AMWAY co-founders Rich & Jay, AMWAY Malaysia staff, as well as leaders and Diamonds who have offered us their assistance on our journey to qualify Diamond.
