But to really appreciate where they are today, you need to know some history. A truly miraculous recovery John’s miraculous recovery is one of their greatest blessings. His ordeal had been harrowing. Shot in the head and left for dead, he managed to crawl under the bed and get to a phone, which wasn’t plugged into the right jack. Amazingly, while he lay there, unable to get through to the police, the other phone rang. It was their friend and fellow IBO, Jack Spencer. That call saved John’s life. When their son, John III, was born in 1980, he had serious health issues. After being in intensive care for four months and recovering from major surgery, he finally came home to join the family, which included 3-year-old sister Kristin. Their fragile baby still needed round-the-clock care, and after a few weeks, John and Jennie Belle were exhausted. As Jennie Belle recalls, “My parents came, and they took the kids and me to their place in North Carolina so I could get some rest and John could get some work done while we were gone. “I had just fallen asleep when my dad got the phone call: John had been shot in a robbery and I needed to get home immediately. They didn’t think he’d make it through the night.” 4 It’s no exaggeration to say that over the next several months – years, really – their Amway™ business and their faith were the lifelines that pulled them up, gave them hope, and helped them heal. It started with the more than 5,000 pints of blood people in many organizations across Amway donated for John. “Our own organization pulled together to help with everything from meals and baby-sitting to carrying on with scheduled meetings,” says Jennie Belle, adding that they’ll always be grateful for the prayers and support they received throughout John’s long recuperation. Going to the well “It’s terrifying to think what would have happened to us financially without this business,” says John. “Our medical expenses were astronomical, and there’s no way either one of us could have worked at traditional jobs under our circumstances. “But we’ve always said, ‘You have to dig your well before you need it,’ and thank God we had done that.” They had just finished college when they first heard about the Amway business. A co-worker of Jennie Belle’s introduced them to the Amway business opportunity, the one and only time anyone had ever approached them about it. They looked at each other and said, “What if this idea really works?” “And then we just followed the ‘recipe’ that our upline taught us – discipline, focusing on goals, being persistent, and having a willingness to be mentored and learn to grow,” explains John. “And it did work!” They still marvel at the life it’s helped them achieve. “The peace of mind is the best thing,” says John. Just do it! Jennie Belle says one of the biggest obstacles she sees with people embarking on an Amway business is “just getting started.” “You can stare at the pool all day long or you can jump in,” adds John. “Don’t make this an intellectual journey, just do it!” John and Jennie Belle say one of the most important things they did – and still do – is to “let leaders become leaders. In other words,” says John, “don’t smother them, but create an atmosphere in which they can grow and do what they need to do. The sooner you realize it’s not about you, it’s about other people – their dreams and wants and needs – you’ll start to experience growth.” CROWN | CROWE FAMILY LEGACY Another benefit? The fact that they were able to continue operating and earning income from their Amway™ business during John’s recovery. (They qualified as Executive Diamonds a year before John III was born, having left their traditional jobs behind when they were in their twenties.) What’s most satisfying to them is that not only did their business thrive as they kept moving forward, it also provided lifelong friends who became wonderful role models for Kristin and John III, both of whom followed in their parents’ footsteps and started their own successful Amway businesses. Positive approach to life has appeal Growing up in the Crowe household, says Kristin, was “amazing. My brother and I always say it was like Camelot. Our parents were always so positive, so upbeat and faith oriented. They really led by example. They never talked negatively about anything, even behind closed doors. Kids see and hear a “One of the most important things we did (for our kids) was let them struggle on their own. Like a caterpillar that emerges as a butterfly, you can’t open up that cocoon and make it too easy for them. Struggle is part of the victory.” JOHN CROWE 5 lot. And my brother and I thought the way we lived was so awesome that we always knew we’d want to start our own Amway™ businesses someday.” When Kristin met Dave Dussault, she found her own knight in shining armor to help her do it. Together, they started their Amway business in March 2000. They went Diamond in 2005 and Founders Diamond in 2006; they qualified for North American Growth Council in 2011. Kristin says one of the highlights of her life was going to their first Diamond Club. “I had experienced it all before as a child of Diamonds, but to go as an IBO with all the hard work that’s behind it, and to rub shoulders with the people who had been my heroes for so long – it was very special.” Dave smiles when he thinks back to how they first started out. “I was cynical and wanted to do things my own way,” he recalls. “But Kristin’s parents were such great mentors that I finally decided to listen to what they had to say.” In the meantime, John III started his Amway business. Like Dave and Kristin, he, too, wanted to earn the respect of those he respected, especially his parents, by building it on his own. “There’s nothing I’d rather be doing than teaching others about freedom and free enterprise,” he says. And when he qualified for Emerald in 2011, the entire team had a huge celebration. “People don’t even know how much John has overcome,” says Jennie Belle, referring to her son’s health challenges, which continued beyond infancy. “He has become a great leader. Everybody respects and loves him so much.” “It’s really important for second-generation IBOs to build their own businesses and create their own identities. The best thing John and Jennie Belle did for us was to just set an example of what great leadership is all about.” D AV I D D U S S A U LT 6 CROWN | CROWE FAMILY LEGACY “I always knew I wanted an Amway™ business, but I wasn’t sure I had what it took. I went through a lot of personal growth to earn the respect of those I respected. And as close as we’ve always been as a family, we’ve grown even closer by growing the business together.” JOHN CROWE III 7 CREATING THE FAMILY LEGACY: LESSONS LEARNED With three thriving businesses, the next step was logical: integrate them. And thanks to a formal succession planning process with Amway, they were able to do that. Today, they have a family legacy that can passed down to future generations, including the Dussaults’ four children. (John III isn’t married yet.) That legacy started years ago as Kristin and John III were growing up, and they saw what their parents had achieved through hard work, a positive attitude, and staying focused. In fact, Kristin, John III, and son-in-law Dave are all quick to share the many lessons they learned from John and Jennie Belle, and what was most valuable to them in terms of building their own businesses: “Rather than push us, they created more of a pull. They’d say, ‘If you want to experience this kind of lifestyle, you know what you need to do to get it.’” “They were fantastic role models; always positive and upbeat. Even with all of the health challenges, there was never any ‘woe is me’ talk. Even in private, they were always cheerleaders for each other, uplifting one another and emphasizing each other’s strengths.” “They taught us at an early age how to set goals and how to work hard to achieve them.” “My parents cut us off when we reached 18! No more trips or rewards until we earned them ourselves – they’d actually send us postcards from places, which drove us crazy!” “They showed us what a great marriage is all about and how working together as entrepreneurs, serving others in an environment of excellence, can create financial security and peace of mind.” “They let us ‘fail forward.’ When we stumbled in our businesses, they didn’t come running to pick us up; they let us learn by our mistakes. We started at zero PV, just like everybody else.” “They taught us that the key to success is personal growth and never letting leadership get stale. You have to constantly be moving forward, building relationships with people and developing new leaders. They are still passionately involved in the business.” “They are consistent leaders, completely transparent, the same at home as they are on stage. They do not compromise on principles and they stand by their word.” As for the references about cutting the kids off when they reached college age, “That was dad, not me!” laughs Jennie Belle, noting that the kids didn’t exactly go hungry. But as John explains, he was just following the advice of one of his mentors. “I asked Dexter Yager his philosophy on raising kids (they have seven) and he answered, ‘It’s simple: don’t spoil them!’” The average monthly Gross Income for “active” IBOs in the U.S. was $198. Approximately 48% of IBOs in Canada were “active.” 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 Gross Income would be $2,376. Of course, not every IBO chooses to be active every month. “Gross Income” means the amount received from retail sales, minus the cost of goods sold, plus monthly bonuses and cash incentives. It excludes all annual bonuses 8 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. For the purposes of this calculation, individuals who were IBOs for less than the entire year in 2010 were excluded. Before registering as an Independent Business Owner (IBO) powered by Amway, you should read and understand the Amway Business Opportunity Brochure, which contains important information for those interested in becoming IBOs. CROWN | CROWE FAMILY LEGACY Living humbly Clearly, the Crowes followed that advice, and they are very proud of their children’s humility – and their success. “We always tried to live humbly and keep everything down to earth,” says Jennie Belle. “When we were going through the hard times after John’s injury, we realized you can be miserable and make everybody else miserable, or you can be a shining light and bring joy to the world. I learned along the way, too, that there’s always someone who’s worse off than you.” Their positive attitude continues to serve them well. For example, John was an outstanding athlete before the shooting, which left him partially paralyzed. But he didn’t let that stop him from participating in outdoor activities. He loves to be on and in the water – jet skiing, fishing, and swimming. And when Jennie Belle goes for a run, he’ll ride alongside her on his three-wheel bike. The family also believes strongly that they are “blessed to be a blessing” and, like many of their downline organizations, are involved in all kinds of philanthropic work, supporting causes both locally and globally, especially those that focus on the needs of families and children. Helping Wounded Warriors Perhaps most dear to their hearts is the work the family is doing through the Ripple Effect, a nonprofit organization. Last spring, Ripple Effect held its first-ever Wounded Warrior golf tournament to raise funds for the Wounded Warrior Project, which helps soldiers injured in conflict adapt and succeed as they return to civilian life. “They are the real heroes,” says Dave. as they jokingly refer to it. Dave’s dad and his wife now live in a new home there, too. The grandkids – Maximus, Tristan, Audriana, and Harper – all under six years old – love having both sets of grandparents so close by. As for whether the next generation of Dussaults and Crowes decides to keep building on the family legacy, Dave and Kristin say they’re doing just what John and Jennie Belle did – or rather, didn’t do. “When our kids get older, we’re not going to push them to become third-generation business owners,” says Dave. “What we are doing is inspiring them to become great leaders, to stand by their principles, and to understand how this business works. Because at the end of the day, we want their hearts to be in it and we want them to be passionate about what they do. We strive daily to set a good example for them.” Considering who David, Kristin, and John III all learned from, they have a proven formula. “Our business has always been about family,” summarizes John. “It’s like I say to the kids, ‘When you build your business, you’re also building our business, which may one day be your business!’” And that’s what having a family legacy is all about. Family close by The Crowes and Dussaults have homes near one another on a 26-acre property, the “family compound,” 9 10 ACHIEVERS 2012 | “IBO BILL OF RIGHTS” WELCOME TO ACHIEVERS 2012! Achievers is Amway North America’s largest recognition event. Part celebration, part motivation, part inspiration – it’s an amazing five days you’ll want to experience for yourself. Join us for a look back at the 2012 celebration in Washington, D.C. 11 PREPARING FOR ACHIEVERS Rehearsals dominate the days leading up to your arrival! We’ve pulled back the curtain to share a behind-the-scenes look at the fun! 12 ACHIEVERS 2012 | “IBO BILL OF RIGHTS” 13 THREE SIMPLE WORDS SANDY SPIELMAKER, BUSINESS MEETING, ACHIEVERS 2012 Three simple words that carry so much meaning. Our forefathers didn’t try to create a perfect world or an ideal society. They wanted to give us – we, the people – the opportunity to build that society. They didn’t write that we have a right to happiness. They wrote that we have the right to pursue happiness. It wasn’t about GIVING us everything we wanted. It was about securing for us the freedom and opportunity to GO OUT AND GET IT. “We the People” was never meant to be a finished product or a complete idea. It’s a generational work of art that we are improving … perfecting … perpetuating every single day. “We the People” could have been written for and about each one of you. Freedom. Family. Hope. Reward. When Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel created this company and identified the values Amway would represent, they could have very well been carrying out the vision of Washington, of Franklin, of Jefferson, of Madison. These go to the heart of what “We the People” is all about. We’re using these values to write the story of our own lives, to build a better future for the people we love, to create a more perfect union. If we were to create our own “IBO Declaration of Excellence” – an “IBO Bill of Rights,” one might say – what messages would we want to send, in our own modern-day version of “We the People?” We dedicate ourselves to these principles … 14 ACHIEVERS 2012 | “IBO BILL OF RIGHTS” 15 LEARN THIS IS A LIFELONG, NEVER-ENDING LEARNING First, we dedicate ourselves to maintaining a passion for learning.

DOWNLOAD YOUR SCREENSAVER NOW AT ACHIEVEMAGAZINE.COM 51 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. Ángel and María Aguado | California Living the dream: “I was always working extra hours just to pay the bills,” says Ángel. Now, thanks to their Amway™ business, the bills are paid, “we enjoy having and doing things we couldn’t afford before, and we get to choose how we spend our time,” he says. “I can visit my mom in Mexico and not worry about the boss getting mad – because there is no boss!” Looking to the future: Ángel and María are looking forward to showing their kids – María Janet, 19; Alexis, 15; and Ángel, Jr., 10 – the world. “I would love to see Paris and London,” María says. “I also want to give my parents (who live with them) the best.” Most importantly, Ángel adds, “We want to be an example to downline IBOs and help them achieve their dreams.” Elier and Marta Luisa Aguiar | Florida Living the dream: “We came here (from Cuba) with dreams of prosperity, but neither of us could find work in our fields without repeating our educations.” So Elier became a construction-equipment mechanic and opened his own shop. “It was exhausting work,” he says. Marta Luisa found work as a medical assistant and phlebotomist, and returned to school. Now both are fully engaged in building their Amway business. “We’ve discovered a vocation for life,” she says. Looking to the future: Making time to spend with their family is most important to the Aguiars, who recently became grandparents for the first time. “We dream of having our entire family reunited,” Elier says. “We also want to spend quality time in beautiful places around the world. And we want to inspire others to achieve great things in this business!” Yolanda and Leoncio Croes | Aruba Living the dream: “I feel so different!” Leoncio says of the last few years. After losing his job with Aruba’s Tourism Authority in early 2011, he and Yolanda refocused on their Amway business and took it to the next level: Emerald. “I know where I’m going now,” he says. “We’re growing and learning every day, and being blessed by the fundamentals of family, reward, freedom, and hope.” Looking to the future: “Our vision is to reach Double Diamond in the next five years and leave a legacy to our children and grandchildren (Leony, 21; Leyon, 18; Loney, 17; and A.J., 4). The two oldest are IBOs, and the youngest can’t wait (to be one)!” Leoncio says. “We’re also excited to finally formalize our Live Your Dream Foundation, which serves underprivileged families on Aruba and Curacao,” Yolanda adds.

And it’s only going to get better!” He and his wife, Vanessa, love that they have more control over their time now and a stable home life for their boys, Tyler (7) and Dylan (4). “Having that peace in our home is everything!” says Vanessa. Looking to the future: While travel, a bigger home, and private schooling are on their radar, Warren and Vanessa are most excited about “going out and making a major difference in people’s lives,” he says. “We’ve had an incredible example of mentorship,” she adds, “and we want to pass it on. This business makes you want to be a better person. We’ve grown so close through this business.” RECOGNITION | EMERALD Warren and Vanessa Frie | New York Prakash and Anjana Karani | Georgia Living the dream: After attending their first Amway business conference, the Karanis “got really focused on bringing Anjana home (from her job in computer programming).” It took almost two years to replace her income, “but it was exciting to see it was possible,” says Prakash, an IT manager. “I have the luxury of setting my own schedule and being here for our kids (son Mayank and daughter Manisha, both 12),” she replies. Looking to the future: The family loves “being active, especially outdoors, and learning new things,” he shares. “Last year we took up martial arts and I play tennis late at night to burn off energy.” Adds Anjana, “We want to make things happen this year so that in 2014, Prakash can be home to devote more time to our team and our family.” Zhao Li and Jingtao Zhao | British Columbia Living the dream: “Amway totally changed my life!” Zhao states. “Our business has given us more income, plus the freedom to travel.” In addition, Zhao believes ® NUTRILITE nutritional supplements – her introduction to the Amway business – have contributed to good health and well-being. “I love learning and sharing about nutrition,” she says, “because I’ve seen how it’s benefitted my life.” Looking to the future: “Only Amway gives me time to look after both my family here (husband Jingtao and daughter Enn, 6) and in China,” she says. “I want to be with my mom, who’s 80, as much as I can, so I spend two months in China every year. I could’ve never done that working in accounting!” Zhao’s next goals are “to be Diamond within three years and help six downlines reach Platinum.” Adam Marks | New York Living the dream: At just 17, Adam realized that “the Amway business was the complete package: It offered incredible income potential, plus the time to enjoy it.” The son of a successful businessman, he says, “I knew the headaches of traditional business and the sacrifice of time it required. I’m happy that my Amway business is at a point where I can enjoy the unparalleled lifestyle it provides.” Looking to the future: “In five years, I see myself in my dream house, married, and with a family,” Adam says. “I love boxing, so I will probably pursue it for fun, maybe even own a private gym. I’ve seen too much success in this business to choose to live a second-rate life.” The average monthly Gross Income for “active” IBOs in the U.S. as $202 in 2010. Approximately 46% of all IBOs in the U.S. were “active.” 53 Plinio and Triana Mejía | Dominican Republic Living the dream: “I wasn’t much of a dreamer before starting our Amway™ business,” says Plinio. “But our sponsors made us part of their dreams and taught us the importance of visualizing what we really wanted. Now we have images plastered all over the house!” Triana, a pharmaceutical rep, has been home full time since their second child was born. Plinio looks forward to joining her when he retires from the Army at the end of this year. Looking to the future: “Our kids (Derianh, 12; Camila, 4; and José Sebastián, 10 months) just love the adventure of travel, so we definitely see ourselves doing more of that,” says Triana. “We’re eager to give them every opportunity,” including the best camps and universities, Plinio adds. “We know we can help a lot of people from other countries with this business.” Luisa and César Mateo | Dominican Republic Living the dream: “Our life was full of obligations that come with a traditional business,” says César, former owner of an auto parts store. Today he and Luisa have time to vacation together – “at the same time!” she adds – and enjoy their grandsons. The best part about leaving the rat race behind? “Being able to help others,” he says. “Amway is the school of life, where you learn to live truly and effectively.” Looking to the future: “I see myself accomplishing my life’s purpose in the next five years,” Luisa says. “I want to establish several activity centers around the island to help kids who have nothing.” Adds César, “I want to become an extension of God’s hand and bring joy to my people and the world. There’s no time to lose!” Steve Mazzurco | New York Living the dream: “I wanted my upline’s lifestyle,” says Steve, who started his Amway business in college. “If professional baseball didn’t work out (Steve played in the minors for two years), I knew my business could give me more than a career as a stockbroker could.” Today he enjoys having time to golf, hit the gym, and take his new sports car on the open road. Looking to the future: “It’s never been about me changing pin levels. It’s about helping as many people as possible, who share this journey with me, to achieve their dreams and goals. That’s what pumps me up!” People are the heart of the Amway business, he believes. “My life is blessed with great mentors who have helped me feel fulfilled and in control of my destiny.” Read more about each new Emerald qualifier at: ACHIEVEMAGAZINE.COM > ACHIEVEMENT > EMERALD STORIES 54 RECOGNITION | EMERALD Juanita and Vicente Navarro | Washington Living the dream: “We started our Amway™ business for the potential money,” Juanita admits, “but now we’re building it to leave a better legacy for our family and to help other families succeed in this country.” Vicente adds, “We also appreciate having more time to spend together and with our kids,” (Francisco, 19 and an IBO; Vincent, 13; Emily, 7; and Victoria, 1). Knowing they can pay for college and travels brings “more peace of mind,” she says. Looking to the future: “We’re planning a week in Hawaii with our kids this summer,” Juanita continues. “We’d also like to spend more time on the beaches of Florida, which remind us of where we grew up in Mexico. Money was scarce in our childhood and now that we have a better lifestyle, our first goal is to have our own house.” Alondra and Rubén Osorio | Texas Living the dream: From working 10- to 12-hour days and “barely having time to see each other, let alone start a family,” to working together to “take hope to others for a better life,” the Osorios’ life has changed dramatically, thanks to their Amway business. They have time for personal interests like exercise and travel, and enjoying parenthood. Their daughter, Rubi, 4, is the joy of their life. Looking to the future: “We want our family to keep growing,” says Alondra, who loves no longer having to set an alarm for 4 a.m. Rubén is studying to become a personal trainer and would also like to earn a degree in automotive repair “because I love cars, especially taking them apart and putting them back together!” His dream is to run part of the Great Wall of China. Damaris Patrocinio | Dominican Republic Living the dream: Damaris “saw a big difference between an Amway business and a traditional business. There’s minimal investment and a lot of possibilities. And what I saw then was only the tip of the iceberg!” Having owned two traditional businesses before – and going bankrupt – Damaris was ready for a new start. Today, “Money is no longer an issue,” she says. Looking to the future: Damaris is excited her children, Maria del Genesis, 21, and Rafael Ernesto, 14, have embraced Amway. “My vision is to expand my missionary work. There are a lot of women who’ve lost hope because they don’t have anyone telling them, ‘You can do it!’ I want to be that person.” Damaris is also starting a foundation for children with cancer who can’t afford care. The average monthly Gross Income for “active” IBOs in the U.S. as $202 in 2010. Approximately 46% of all IBOs in the U.S. were “active.” 55 Nieves Botello and Manuel Rufino | California Living the dream: Manuel and Nieves were at the point of separating when they learned about the Amway™ business opportunity. “We worked six days a week picking berries and didn’t even have the same day off,” she says. “Thanks to this business, we found time together to dream of a better future for our family (Angélica, 19, and José, 15). Now we can help our moms, travel, and just enjoy our kids.” Looking to the future: Nieves is eager to learn English “now that we have the time. But more than anything, we want to continue helping others see the potential of this opportunity.” Manuel adds, “Sometimes we think about moving, but people keep popping up!” As fellow field hands take note of their success, Manuel and Nieves realize the fields are ripe for the picking. Hugo and Angélica Vargas | California Living the dream: “People ask, ‘Were you always this cool?’ I say, ‘No. I used to have a job, too,’” deadpans Hugo, who has overcame his anxiety attacks since starting their Amway business. He and Angélica owned several traditional businesses over the years that took their toll on mind, body, and finances. “The beauty of Amway is now we’re able to help others live more productive, more meaningful lives,” he says. Looking to the future: The Vargases recently remodeled their home, which they saved in the 11th hour from foreclosure. Still, Angélica dreams of “someday having a bigger, pretty house for my family,” (Tanya, 19; Diana, 18; Leslie, 13; and Priscilla, 10). “We hope our story helps others believe they can do this, too,” Hugo says. Shirley Wong | New York Living the dream: Shirley, looking to improve her life, started by using ® NUTRILITE products. “I was happier and healthier, and began sharing the products with others. They, in turn, experienced similar results. I felt more confident as my financial situation improved, thanks to my Amway business. The free time I’ve gained is great as well!” says the former owner of a cell phone store. Looking to the future: “Even though you are an Independent Business Owner, you are not doing this business alone,” she says. “That’s the beauty of Amway: You don’t have to deal with the challenges all by yourself.” Besides feeling fortunate for the support from her team, Shirley’s excited to travel more, especially to India, where she’s sponsoring two children (through a child-advocacy ministry) she hopes to meet one day.

The IBOAI Board works diligently with the Corporation at events, in meetings, on the phone, and online throughout the year as the powerful advocate for your business. Are you aware of how this association got its start? The IBOAI has a rich history of over 50 years committed to “preserving the past, enriching the present, and inspiring hope for the future of the business.” It also has the honor of being one of the largest small business trade associations in the world! Meet Your 2013 IBOAI Board: The Organization’s Driving Force In January, the new 2013 IBOAI Board met in Grand Rapids, Michigan, with the purpose of welcoming the newly elected members to the Board. Five new members – Theo Galan, Pedro Lizardi, Juanita Maldonado, Vinny Pappalardo, and Steve Yager – took the oath of office and promised to serve with honor, integrity, and principle. And, as Rich DeVos advised the IBOAI Board in 1991, to “never lose the spirit of the business!” Your IBOAI Board, elected by qualified Platinums and above, governs the official activities of the association and acts in the best interest of all Amway IBOs. Currently, 21 IBO leaders serve on IBOAI Board committees, along with two members of the Governance & Oversight Committee. The association’s No. 1 goal when it began in 1959 as the American Way Association continues to be its main priority today: Fairly represent all North American IBOs, regardless of Line of Affiliation (LOA) or position in the Line of Sponsorship (LOS).
