This next couple owned three successful companies in the real estate industry, but
they began to fail during a real estate collapse of two thousand and eight
so they went in search of a business with stability
one in which they could buy back their time
a business that would give them a complete life makeover
invited to a pbr by his brother-in-law he hesitantly agreed to attend out of
respect
and took his wife along
they went into the meeting very skeptical
but came out hopeful that this opportunity would bring change to their
lives
today
they have not only changed professionally
but spiritually and personally
there now striving to help others discover the same opportunity and growth
that they found being a part of ACN
Please help us promote to the position of
regional vice president
wayne and laurie Luther
Well we're real excited about being here
when I was walking up on the stage I just
reflected back on several years ago when i was in a basement garage in Cameron
park california
and it was a gentlemen came in
and he was showing this business with four people in the room
and you know at that time i had everything
that people wanted in life. We owned three
traditional businesses
we were doing exceptionally well we had built the dream house
on ten acres
we had a second home in lake tahoe on the lake we had eighteen
condos in Hawaii that we owned
we had boats we had cars we had everything that people say that they want but what people didnt know when I was in that room and had my
arms crossed and i was totally skeptical because i had never done network marketing
in my whole life. I had looked at eighteen different companies because I did look at them
but i never did them
and this made sense
but inside, on the outside i was skeptical, but on the inside I had hope
I had hope
because what people did know was
my three companies were collapsing
in the real estate crunch in California
there was a bloodbath
i was scared to death
of what would happen to myself and to my wife
and what would go on for us
for us in the next couple years
and I was fifty six years old and you don't go back to corporate america at that age
to get a decent job
guys
and there's no such thing as a good job we all know that
so what happened was is that we just dug in and
worked worked worked went to work
I was totally uncoachable
but that it came to the point where I said you know what honey
we have no other choice we'e gotta do this
we've gotta make this work i don't know what we can do but we've gotta go for it
and when we dug in and went for it
i can tell you guys it went from tragic to magic
we've had to work hard
If you're in this room you're gonna have to work hard
it's not gonna be easy
but nothing easy is worthwhile
nothing easy is climbing a mountain
Oh I tell ya this is exciting everyone, but you know its not just about ourselves its about our teams promotion. We're so excited to be here today
because i'll tell you what i a few months ago
when Mr. Rathsmothson asked if my husband and I were coachable we said well of course we're coachable
he said well thats good because you need to go
open a new market
and I said are you kidding me that's crazy and I was scared I was
scared of the change
but you know what they always sayto change
you gotta step outside your comfort zone and I knew that we were to comfortable that we needed
to make that change so we headed off to houston
and my husband went first and I
I went two months after him
and when i got there I saw a different man
you guys it's all about the personal development. I saw a different man
he was up early everyday he was reading the personal development books he was the bible
he was exercising
he was taking
he was charting all his business
he was doing his dmo I started to do the same
and then we started to have success
I blew me away we started promoting att's we started promoting etl's more and
more and more of them
we started putting checks with commas in their pockets
it was incredible to watch the growth that our team was having and the excitement it was building in
their lives then we went on
to promote a hundred and forty day team cordinator and we really just realized
that it was just amazing and then we started being on the top charts, top charts TC, top charts
RD's
and here we are today as RVP's so it can be done.
Love you ACN
what we
what we found out is is that
for us
it's it's all about the journey
it's not about the destination it's about the journey
and we went through a lot of things
uh... in our life there it can so numerous and
actually you know in many times we felt like quitting just like everyone else did you
know but on were not quiters
there is no quit in us never been any in myself and my wife
and what we found is
we had to do was we had to complete
what we start
everything's about completing
what you start
so
that that's what it meant to me
what it meant to me was stepping outside my comfort zone accepting change and stepping out so I could grow and do more. So it really was about the personal development of me
and the difference I saw in my husband just the two months that we were apart when he came
and made that commitment where he came and he got focused
he got rid of the distractions
and he dove into personal development I couldn't believe the difference in him and then he was better able to serve others and become a better leader through that so it was really about personal development
