PAGE 24 | | PAGE 25 CROWN AMBASSADOR A nna, Seung-Ho, and Jay arrived in the U.S. with not much more than one another – and a dream of making a good life in America. A former kindergarten teacher, Anna had to take a job as a waitress – the 11 p.m. to 11 a.m. “graveyard shift” – while Seung-Ho tried to bring in what he could as an oil painter, giving lessons and selling his own work. Creating the Dream Life Humble dreams When they first started their AMWAY™ business, Anna’s dreams were humble. “I just wanted to earn extra money to supplement my waitressing, so my first big goal was to make a thousand dollars a month,” she recalls. They had been living with Seung-Ho’s family and had moved into their own apartment, “but it was an awful place, only about 700 square feet, To make things worse, Seung-Ho came down with a stress-related illness and wasn’t able to help Anna “ There’s a new energy out there, a new attitude about Amway, and we can feel it.” – JAY KIM in a very bad neighborhood,” recalls Jay, who doesn’t even like to think about those days. Immigrants who come to the U.S. face challenges most of us cannot even much with their newly launched AMWAY business. But the situation only made her more determined. As one who believes the only way to solve problems is by taking action, she started working even harder. Start of a family business And she did have another good helper: 9-year old Jay. “All the materials were in English back then, and my parents needed a translator. So I took on the job!” he laughs. He’s been working alongside them ever since. Anna tells about how the three of them would sit at the kitchen table, writing out Korean translations on stickers, which they then put on the product catalog pages to share information with the Korean community. It was a time-consuming and arduous task. But it worked. imagine, from learning a new language to leaving their loved ones behind. W hen Michael, Anna, and Jay Kim arrived in New York City from Korea, they virtually had to start over. They were a small but strong family, and by sticking together, they achieved success beyond their wildest dreams. Today, most AMWAY materials, websites, and tools are all available in Korean – and many other languages – thanks in part to Anna’s influence. (Theirs is the largest Korean organization in North America.) Jay, Anna, and Seung-Ho Kim CROWN AMBASSADOR PAGE 26 | | PAGE 27 CROWN AMBASSADOR And in the meantime, their business has grown far and wide to become a very culturally diverse organization. Here in the United States, people of all ethnicities and backgrounds are part of the Kims’ business, and their growing international businesses include Canada, Korea, Vietnam, and China. “I used to think the world was big,” says Anna. “Now I feel that it’s very small.” Of course, their business involves a lot of travel, too, and the family is looking forward to their first trip to Prague in a few weeks. “We’ve always loved the AMWAY™ business trips,” says Anna, recalling their many journeys to Hawaii, Peter Island, and other gorgeous destinations. “When we were struggling financially in that tiny apartment, I always dreamed about seeing the world, so I am very grateful to be doing that today.” The big melting pot The Kims believe that having so many different ethnicities creates a positive dynamic and unique synergy for their business. “When you can’t speak English, you use more body language, people are more respectful when you’re explaining things, and the mix is also very interesting,” explains Jay. “So our gatherings are not as formal. Everybody’s trying to practice their English and at the same time, we’re learning about each other’s culture.” Dreams come true Another of Anna’s dreams came true a few years ago when she was able to buy her mother’s house for her in Korea. “It felt so good to do that for her,” says Anna. “We’ve tried to talk her into coming here to live with us, but she has so many friends there she doesn’t want to leave. She’s a very popular lady!” “Our meetings are very entertaining; they’re more like parties, really,” adds Seung-Ho. “We’ll have music, dancing, different ethnic groups will bring their traditional dishes to share, or maybe we’ll give away some prizes in between product demos. People socialize at our meetings – it’s another incentive to come – and we always have fun.” “My grandmother is also a very hard worker. She’s always had a ton of energy, so I think my mother gets her work ethic from her,” observes Jay, adding that he’s enjoyed watching his mother transform into the confident leader she has become. “She’s so wise. She continually amazes me.” Their lovely Long Island home is ideal for gatherings – a spacious living room, a large backyard with a pool, and a lower “ In Korea, there’s a saying about how the son with his younger, stronger back can lighten the load his parents level that serves as a combination dance floor (Anna’s big on ® ballroom dancing) and ARTISTRY “salon,” where women can sit, sample products, and enjoy some pampering. have been carrying, and I believe that applies to all ” second-generation IBOs. Asked what they enjoy most about the lifestyle their success has brought them, Anna says, “Really, I think the four fundamentals of our business – Freedom, Family, Reward, and Hope – are what we love in equal measure. And of course, the people. The relationship side of this business is something we truly value, being with like-minded people who want to better themselves.” With all the innovations the company has implemented in the past few years, from more training to the Amway image and awareness – ANNA KIM “I think the emphasis on health and beauty products has been very good for our business,” observes Anna. “Consumers are very interested in these types of products, but you have to focus on what they need, not on what you want to sell.” PAGE 28 | | PAGE 29 CROWN AMBASSADOR campaigns, the Kims believe it’s a better business than ever for those seeking the American dream. “The AMWAY™ business is the great equalizer,” says Seung-Ho, who loves the fact that so much of their efforts are centered on helping others succeed. “What makes our business so unique is that we don’t just sell you products, then disappear. We become part of your lives and you become part of ours.” “I know what it’s like to struggle,” he continues. “I want to help others reach their full potential and get the most out of life, just as we have.” Technology has made things much better, too, they say. “We encourage people in our groups to use all the great tools ® available that make it so easy to stay in touch, from Twitter ® and Facebook to websites and smartphone apps. Today, I can communicate with someone in Korea or Latin America as easily as I can with someone in New York, and it’s all done instantly!” says Anna. Gen Y defined Jay recently attended a company-sponsored seminar on Gen Y, but he believes that moniker refers not just to a certain age group, but to anyone who’s “current and up on all the latest technology. It’s more a state of mind, really, and if you’re text messaging, putting photos on Facebook, and most importantly, feeling young, hungry, and entrepreneurial, then I’d say you’re Gen Y,” he states. Speaking of generations, Jay has a natural, easygoing rapport with kids and serves as an ideal role model for second- generation IBOs. “People in our group are constantly introducing their sons and daughters to me so that I can talk to them about the business,” says Jay, adding that he also did his share of babysitting when he was younger so parents could attend meetings. “To us, the AMWAY™ business is totally geared toward family, from Steve and Doug taking over from their fathers to the second and even third generations of Amway employees, to the husbands and wives who work together and teach their children how to become entrepreneurs. It’s set up to be a multi-generational business,” continues Jay. “And our actions really embrace that. We’re a family business and we’ll always be a family business.” Extended family Jay says a lot of kids today might look at working with their parents as a negative thing, “but my message is, it’s not! It’s a good thing. I’m with my parents five days a week. We run our business together, we travel together, we have fun together. You only have one family, and they’re the people who love you the most. But really, our family extends beyond the three of us – everybody feels like family to us. It’s a huge community of people who want to be with each other. And that’s not like other businesses.” Giving back Giving back is also a big part of their business, and the Kims are currently in the initial stages of planning a family foundation. “We’re starting to think about where our passions lie, where we could do the most good, and just gathering ideas about what our foundation might focus on,” says Anna, explaining that in the past, their philanthropic efforts have ranged from holding fundraisers to donating to Amwaysponsored charitable activities. Anna’s dreams continue to evolve and she says her hope for the future is to “have someone who is not Korean, but has a Korean upline, get up on stage and tell their success story. I want our organization to represent all kinds of different people – Chinese, Vietnamese, Latin Americans, everyone! When I see how we break down barriers in our organization by getting to know one another as individuals, learning about one another’s cultures, focusing on our similarities rather than our differences, I really believe this could be a model for how world peace might be achieved. I’ve seen it happen in our organization. Maybe through our business connections we can spread this idea across the world.” At the rate this family is going, they just might succeed at doing that. The average monthly Gross Income for “active” IBOs was $202. U.S. IBOs were considered “active” in months in 2010 when they attempted to make a retail sale, or presented the Amway IBO Compensation Plan, or received bonus money, or attended an Amway or IBO meeting. If someone sustained that level of activity every month for a whole year, their annualized income would be $2,424. Of course, not every IBO chooses to be active every month. “Gross Income” means PAGE 30 | the amount received from retail sales, minus the cost of goods sold, plus monthly bonuses and cash incentives. It excludes all annual bonuses and cash incentives, and all non-cash awards, which may be significant. There may also be significant business expenses, mostly discretionary, that may be greater in relation to income in the first years of operation. | PAGE 31 RECOGNITION Emerald Reaching Emerald is a significant achievement, the result of sustained effort and successful leadership. As Emeralds, IBOs have demonstrated their ability to sell, recruit, train, motivate, and teach others to do the same. They have built healthy organizations and are reaping the rewards of their hard work. Kantha and TL Balasubramaniam | Pennsylvania Living the dream: “Our AMWAY™ business has given us a bright future and an opportunity to stay young,” says Kantha. “Without it, life would be so boring!” TL remarks, “We’ve seen many dreams come true through this opportunity, from becoming business owners, to having family join us in the business, to living in a beachfront home. But helping others succeed is the best reward!” Looking to the future: TL and Kantha feel it’s their duty to help people in India. “Our expectation of their success [in this business] is the greatest gift we can give them,” he says. “By helping people we’re taking care of our family’s future, too,” she states. Creating trust funds for their grandchildren and favorite charities is a priority for this energetic couple. Hai Yan Wu and Tommy Lam | California Living the dream: “We love the AMWAY business lifestyle!” says Tommy Lam, who owned a trading business in China. “There’s no pressure,” just a passion to share the products and opportunity with others. “In a conventional business, the focus is on self and making money. In Amway, it’s a shared vision and group effort. It’s spending time with people we enjoy, people we think of as family.” Looking to the future: Tommy and Hai Yan are looking forward to “traveling the world with our family.” Daughters Jessica (10) and Victoria (7) are particularly excited about checking out snow and the White House in Washington, D.C., later this year. Tommy says they’re blessed to have the support of his mom, who lives with them, as well as the loving guidance of their upline mentors. William Ng and Carey Chen* | New York Living the dream: “I was afraid of getting married and having children because I was broke,” says William Ng, a business banker. Now, thanks to his and Carey’s AMWAY business, “I feel like I have more control over my future.” The couple welcomed son Carsten 18 months ago and enjoy shopping, dining out, and spending time with friends and family. Looking to the future: “The goal is not to worry about life anymore!” exclaims William. He’s learned the key is to focus on their downlines’ success. Adds Carey, who works for a nonprofit, “We want to help many more people and charitiesin the future.” William believes money is not people’s major need. What they need is more time to enjoy life. That’s what Amway offers them! *Not pictured PAGE 32 | Gennadiy and Yelena Pavlenko | Oregon Living the dream: “I was eight months pregnant and busy when we learned about the AMWAY™ business opportunity,” says Yelena, who worked 12-hour days as a ® Realtor . After just eight months of working their AMWAY business, she was able to leave her job in real estate; Gennadiy closed his construction business a year later. “We dreamed of sending our children to private school – and now we do,” he says. Looking to the future: David (10), Timothy (7), and Danny (4) love having their parents volunteer at school. “We’re looking forward to more vacations with them,” Gennadiy says. “In Ukraine, we could not express our faith or achieve what we have here.” Adds Yelena, “We’re so thankful to God for bringing us to America, where we’ve experienced true freedom.” Wei Sun and Chu-I Liu | Nevada Living the dream: Wei “Wayne” Sun loves sharing the AMWAY business opportunity. “We’re working hard to offer it to as many people as we can. We can really help people through this business,” he says. Wayne believes he and his wife, Chu-I Liu, make an excellent match: “I’m good at meeting people, and she’s good at leading our team. I never envisioned this lifestyle,” he muses. Looking to the future: “No question about it, our next step is Diamond,” Wayne states. The couple hopes to follow in her parents’ (Holly Chen and Barry Chi) footsteps and achieve Crown Ambassador someday. For now, they’re enjoying being home with daughter, Elizabeth (3), and their baby boy, born in February 2011, when they’re not out “recharging people’s hope batteries.” Dean and Marcie Whalen | Alberta Living the dream: Dean and Marcie have a new boss, and her name is Isabelle Violet (born December 2). “The great thing is, we can take turns feeding her,” says Marcie, since both no longer have outside jobs. “We’ve been able to plan our future since starting our AMWAY business (at just 23 years old),” says Dean. “Our goals are starting to manifest now. It’s pretty cool!” Looking to the future: “We believe in three levels of freedom: debt free, job free, and chore free,” states Dean. “We just hired a personal assistant to free up even more time.” Adds Marcie, “We’re looking forward to sharing our blessings with other people,” including those on their team, their parents, and more children. “We can’t wait to travel the world with them!” The average monthly Gross Income for “active” IBOs was $202. Approximately 46% of all IBOs were active. | PAGE 33 RECOGNITION Sapphire Achieving Sapphire exhibits dedication to building a sustainable balanced business and mentoring others to do the same.

CONTEST ENDS MARCH 31! e c n e i r e p Ex PAGE 54 | IBOAI Election Results T he Independent Business Owners Association International (IBOAI) is the primary advocacy organization for IBOs in North America. It advises Amway on every facet of the business, from products and promotions to operations and business guidelines. IBOAI Board and Amway North America work together to bring positive change and to make certain the business is better for every generation. The founding families built this process into the business when it was established in 1959 and it continues to this day. The Board of Directors has full responsibility for governing all official activities of the IBOA International. This group meets three times a year. Special meetings may also be called as often as necessary to handle important matters that arise. The newly elected 2012 IBOAI Board of Directors: • • • Kathy Victor, Chairman Bob Andrews, Vice Chairman Brad Duncan, Past Chairman Many of the responsibilities of the IBOA International are fulfilled by four committees that report directly to the Executive Committee during their regularly scheduled meetings. These four committees are: Awards & Recognition Committee Angelo Nardone, Chairman; Joe Markiewicz, Vice Chairman; Ignacio Alvarez; Brad Duncan; Matt Tsuruda Business Operations Committee Kathy Victor, Chairman; Kanti Gala, Vice Chairman; Alberto Aguilera; Doug Weir; Howie Danzik Legal & Ethics Committee Marketing Advisory Committee Terry Andrews, Chairman; Theresa Danzik, Vice Chairman; Julie Duncan; Lata Gala; Sandy Hawkins; MaryBeth Markiewicz Two additional committees round out the leadership of the IBOAI – the Hearing & Disputes Committee, established to participate in Conciliation Procedures, and the Governance & Oversight Committee, established to review Board actions and operations to ensure the IBOAI remains aligned with the principles of integrity, responsibility, and corporate governance. Hearing & Disputes Committee Jody Victor, Chairman; Bob Andrews; Glen Baker; Doug Weir Governance & Oversight Committee Jody Victor, Chairman; Bill Hawkins Bob Andrews, Chairman; Steve Woods, Vice Chairman; Greg Francis; Leif Johnson; Zbigniew Rek | PAGE 55 ACHIEVE ONLINE FLICKR.COM/ACHIEVEMAGAZINE Enjoy more event photos: ® The Achieve Magazine Flickr photostream has hundreds of images from Achievers ’11 that we haven’t included in this issue.

To get started, head over to: AchieveMagazine.com/submit PAGE 56 | Parting Thoughts Brad Duncan served as Chairman of the Independent Business Owners Association International (IBOAI) last year. As he turns over the reins to Kathy Victor, we spoke with him about his experience. What was your proudest accomplishment during your tenure as Chair? It was when we came to Ada to meet with Amway employees and talk to them about what it’s really like to be an IBO out in the field. Of course, we meet with the executives all the time, but to sit and answer questions and tell our stories to hundreds of people – everyone from product development to marketing – and educate them about what we do on a day-to-day basis was just a great experience. We talked about how we’re more like teachers than sales people; we teach people how to own and run their own businesses. I think those sessions were very valuable. We’re all on the same team, and the more we can understand one another, the stronger we’ll all be. Speaking of unity, you said you felt the Board was more unified than ever right now. Can you talk more about that? I’ve served on the Board for more than a dozen years, and I’ve never seen it as unified as it is today. When you think about the fact that we’re all from different organizations all over the country, and most of us have been in the business for many years, with our own leadership styles, you’d expect some discord. But we all respect one another and get along really well; there are no hidden agendas, and we all agree on the direction the company is going. We support and encourage one another, just like we do in our own organizations, and it’s very satisfying to be a part of that. I’m not sure people really understand what a big deal the IBOAI Board is, but we do a lot of work behind the scenes. What do you see for the future of Amway? I see a lot of growth. We have incredible leadership with Doug and Steve; their hearts are in the business and we wouldn’t be where we are without their leadership. And the Amway financial situation is incredibly strong; it’s the only family-owned company I know of that is totally debt-free. Here we are in the middle of a recession and we had two $1 billion months last year! I’m very excited about the future of this company. Any advice for the new Chair, Kathy Victor? Kathy is one of the most efficient and capable people I know. She will do a fantastic job and is to be commended as the first woman ever to serve as Chairman of IBOIA – a tremendous accomplishment! It was an honor to serve with her as my Co-Chair in 2011 and I wish her the very best of luck. | PAGE 57 ©2012 All rights reserved. Printed in the USA. LA3911N
