Welcome to My Freedom
From Ian and Yvonne  

 

 Ian & 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.
