Welcome to My
Freedom From Ian and Yvonne

Having returned just a month or
two earlier from Papua New Guinea over 35 years ago, we
were working very hard in multiple jobs struggling just
to pay the bills . We had 3 small children when we
first saw this opportunity to get into business for
ourselves, and could only hope it would work. We had
never done anything like this before, and without
the structure of a building pattern or a support system
we stumbled through the first two years. We would not
have lasted except for the mentorship of a couple who, as
part of the team, kept encouraging us through our first
“baby” steps. When we got started, the corporation behind
the business plan had newly arrived in Australia just 18
months previously with a very limited product base of
just 12 products and a total 12 year history and track
record. All of this meant that we were able to develop a
good side income, but we still only saw ourselves as
self-employed rather than actual business
owners.
However, when we took about 12 months out of the business
to tackle Yvonne’s health challenge in the early 80’s our
business carried us through brilliantly and enabled us to
devote the necessary time for Yvonne’s recovery from
black melanoma cancer, and as a result we now began to
view this project quite differently.
It was around this time that Ian pensioned off his plumbing
tools and with continued business growth lifestyle goals
began to manifest. Our children were able to attend a
private college. Our holidays became more frequent and
instead of trips to the river, where we had acquired a
holiday shack, now we co-owned a house-boat. Instead
of travelling to Tasmania, now we travelled to Europe
and beyond, and we could fill a whole website with all
the places we have been. Instead of leaving our children
with friends, now we took them with us on extended trips
around the world. Instead of declining charity requests, now
we looked for ways to participate.
As a tradesman
and a typist we did not bring ready skills to this
opportunity. Both of us had been
trained to use our hands more than our minds. Building this
business has been a saga of constant learning in an
environment of fun and excitement; learning about people but
more specifically about ourselves and the enormous potential
we have within us to create a better world for our
family.
We have followed this business from it’s infancy, through
it’s turbulent ‘teens’ to a highly productive position today
where it is able to take on the world… and win!
We reached 'Platinum' and ‘Ruby’
in 1975, and as we kept discovering more of our potential, went
on to reach ‘Emerald’ in 1980 and ‘Diamond’ in 1988.
More than anything else, this business offers the wisdom of
a personal development ‘system’ that has been of
immeasurable value to us. The books we read continue to
change the way we think and the listening resources
introduce us to people who through vision and strength of
character achieved what seemed impossible. We wouldn’t
be the people we are today without the seeds of greatness
that the system has sown into us.
The many friendships that we have made through the years
have enriched our lives. We love the diversity of people and
watching the light come on in a person's eyes as hope and
then confidence begins to blossom. We love fanning this
flame of possibility by being life enrichers, by encouraging
people to see the potential in themselves of who they can be
and the difference they can make to their own and another
person’s destiny. The future is enormous as we all continue
to have fun, make money and make a difference.
Yvonne:
“The development of a system created an environment that
allowed us to grow as people. We learned that you could take
control of your thoughts and design your own future. It gave us
an environment where we could associate with other successful
people, become free ourselves and help others to do the
same”.
Ian
adds:
“In the twenty-first century and with the advent of the
internet, the potential of this business is far greater than
anything that has yet been achieved. It is far easier to build
this business today than ever before”.
Yvonne
continues:
“Today we get an incredible sense of satisfaction knowing that
we have an opportunity to share—a way for others to identify
their possibilities and to succeed. We love being able to
recommend an environment for growth, challenge, huge personal
rewards and the unlimited potential for everyone to achieve
their dreams”.
Ian:
“Knowing that you can play a part in helping others to achieve
provides the greatest buzz. As they succeed financially
and begin reaching towards their full potential through
the supporting sysem, there is truly a great sense of
fulfilment."
Are
You Looking?
If you are looking
at this idea for the first time or even the second, we would
like to first, encourage you to let
your desire for more out of life drive you to
search out and find a specific reason; a "why" that
translates into a time limited goal you
can believe in and commit to, that will spur you
into action. Taking action will in turn fire up your
original desire to a higher intensity. Within these three
principles of DESIRE > BELIEF > ACTION is the engine
of all growth.
Secondly, seek out a team mentor with whom
you can share your goal and together work out a planned
strategy so that your action is conducted constructively and
focused on building your future.
Third, listen, read and learn from the
system material available in CD's, books and functions to
develop your personal and people skills.
Fourth, associate with successful people
and ask for help. Going it alone is for loser loners. There
will be team members at every level who are more than ready
to assist you in your enterprise until you have developed
your leadership skills, confidence and
expertise.
