 From
a tough life to a life of adventure.....After
over 18 years in the GNLD business, the Junios are living the lifestyle of luxury
and adventure. "It's been a great opportunity being involved with GNLD.
We've been receiving monthly bonus checks from different countries and we're
traveling the world! We are able to help people, and the fantastic
opportunity allows us to live a wonderful life as well," says Joe.
Before the Junios got involved with the GNLD business, they were living a
tough life. Joe recalls, "We were financially indebted and I've had
various illnesses like high-blood pressure, colon cancer, arthritis, and
more. Despite our full-time jobs, our dream to finance a college
education for our children was remote. Then, we were introduced to GNLD.
Remarkably, I started to feel better after taking the products. And much
more, our enthusiasm rose to a high when we received a bonus check for
$10,000 only after 3 months in the business!"
The Junios are living beyond their dreams. "We have sent all our children to
universities of their choice, and have given each of them a brand new car.
We've built our 5-bedroom dream home in California's Silicon Valley with a
magnificent view of the San Francisco Bay area, and a vacation house in
Hawaii. We became debt-free and we've made profitable investments. We also
enjoyed traveling to exotic worldwide destinations like China, Tahiti, The
Caribbean, Mexico, Germany and Spain."
 She once lived in
fear.... fear her car
wouldn’t run, fear her house would be taken from her, fear she
couldn’t provide food for her children. But
3 Ruby Director Maria Andrade
now states with conviction, “I am no longer afraid.” Less than
four years ago, Maria became a GNLD Distributor, and her life began to change
quickly. Maria Andrade now stands confident with GNLD.
At first, Maria was cautious when President’s Team member Senen
Alberto Sanchez introduced her to 5 Diamond Directors Diana
Ramierez and Dr. Joaquin Gonzales. “I had been with other
companies who did not offer the same support as GNLD,” she
explains, “and at first I thought it would be the same. But day
by day, I felt more confident.” Maria was first impressed by
GNLD’s exceptional products, and then by the
exceptional
training she received. “Once I started taking the products, I
knew GNLD was different. I had been on several prescription
medications, but soon I was medication-free.”
 With no formal background in nutrition, Maria appreciated the
extensive training she received from
Dr. Joaquin and Diana. That
training, plus the new-found security she felt with the company,
led to a confidence Maria had never previously experienced. And
as her business grew, her fears diminished. Soon, she was able
to discard the “tin can” she drove and buy a new car. She became
confident that she would be able to pay her bills each month,
and actually begin to enjoy many other “extras” she never could
have
before. With the support and assistance of her husband, Rolando,
Maria is truly enjoying a better way of life. “Family is
everything to me,” she says with obvious pride. “The health of
my husband and my children is my number one priority. Our GNLD
business has brought us closer together, knowing that there will
always be money for food on the table and all the necessities in
our lives.” Spending time with her
husband and her children has been a wonderful benefit of Maria’s
GNLD business—an extra you can’t put a price on.
Maria’s
passion for her GNLD business is evident in every conversation
she has. “This will be my career for the rest of my life. I am
in a position to improve the lives of every person in my
downline, and that is my goal.”
These days, Maria often sees herself in women who approach her
to ask how they can change their lives. “I first introduce them
to the products. They see my confidence in the products—and in
the company—and they begin to take them. I tell them, ‘First,
take the products; then we’ll talk about the business.’” When
these new customers return—and they always do—Maria begins to
teach them about the GNLD Opportunity. “Most of the Directors in
my group were housewives with no previous work experience. I
tell them to begin with their testimonial—like they heard me
give mine—and to stand with confidence.” “Confidence” and
“courage” are two words that describe Maria Andrade. “Anyone who
wants to put in the work can be successful at this business,”
she proclaims. And they, too, can live without fear!
 A
lifestyle worth working for! GNLD’s 3 Diamond Directors,
Delmar and Shirley are
already reaping rewards—and setting a shining example for team
leaders everywhere. “It’s very important to lead by example,”
Shirley nods. “Of course things happen along the way that take
people’s focus away from the business and the team, but if team
leaders don’t stay focused and show the way, then teammates have
no one to follow. It’s up to the leaders to keep everything in
focus, and to keep everyone believing in the possibilities.” For
the Carmacks, those possibilities include the power to help
others realize their GNLD dreams. “I’m going on 20 years with
GNLD, and I’ve accomplished a lot, both financially and
personally,” Delmar admits. “Now, my goal is to help others
accomplish the same. There are lots of people out there working
hard, really trying, and I want to help
them reach their goals. In fact, helping others makes me want to
give even more effort than I did 20 years ago!” Not
surprisingly, Shirley couldn’t agree more. “I’m just so excited
to see Distributors who are much younger than we are finding
their niche in the GNLD business—including my son and his wife!
We’re so excited about that, because these young Distributors
really are the future.” Maintaining a steady focus on new
Distributors has been vital to the Carmack’s success from Day
One, and it’s not something they’re about to change. “We always
share our beginnings with new Distributors, and we focus on our
easy-to-duplicate system,” Shirley explains. “Sure, some new
Distributors may not identify with a 3 Diamond Director,
but they’ll certainly find someone within this wonderful team to
look to, someone who will inspire them to say, ‘If they can do
it, so can I!’ That’s because we have people from every
walk of life on our team. We have people who come from within
good circles of influence, and we have others who arrive with no
belief in themselves whatsoever—but the GNLD Opportunity is
equally great for either! Our team is a great big family; we
work with each other, we have fun with each other, we pull for
each other, and we love each other. That’s all very important to
our success.” And when the Carmacks talk about success, you’d
better listen! “Our GNLD business has allowed us to invest
heavily in real estate over the years, and that’s allowed us to
go a bit overboard every now and then with our toys,” Delmar
chuckles. “My motorcycles and the Viper are fun, but I also
believe those things are very important to our business. This is
a lifestyle business—and people want to see what the business
has done for you! People don’t work for money; they work for the
things money buys. So you can’t just talk about all the money
you’re making and expect people to follow your lead. You have to
show them that you have a lifestyle worth working for.”
Forty-three years ago,
Shirley Eggert
could not have envisioned
the impact a “vitamin company” would have on her life. Shirley
was a full-time nurse who worked her GNLD business on a
part-time basis. With four children, money was always needed for
“extras,” so Shirley kept a special drawer with extra GNLD money
for these expenses. Shirley loved the products and enjoyed
saving extra money, but she was still shocked when, one day, she
suddenly realized that her part-time endeavor had become a
half-million dollar business! “I hadn’t even been to a meeting
at that point!” she confides. “I started thinking, If I can do
that much business part time, what can I do full time?” Shirley
soon found out, and within a couple of years, she had a million
dollar business. One memorable afternoon, she discovered her
“extra money” drawer had over a thousand dollars in it! As the
years progressed, Shirley enjoyed the benefits of her GNLD
business—her “grand lifestyle”—without taking the active role
she previously had. “I wasn’t working as hard as I used to,” she
laughs. Then she met Bill. Initially, Bill was only interested
in what the products could do for him; he definitely was not
interested in a business opportunity. “I had been involved in a
multi-level marketing company once before,” he explains, “and it
left me disillusioned.” Bill’s previous experience cost him
time, money, and—worst of all—credibility with his friends. “I
didn’t do the research on the company that I should have,” he
admits. Fortunately, Bill soon discovered The GNLD Difference.
As a former tennis and golf coach, Bill had always led an active
life. He suffered shoulder pain due to rotator cuff problems,
but GNLD’s Salmon Oil quickly made an impact on the pain, and
Bill became interested in learning more about the business. Not
making the same mistake twice, Bill learned about the history of
GNLD and was impressed not only by the quality of the products,
but also by the integrity of the people. “I am very excited
about this business. I love telling people about the history of
the company—how long it’s been around and that the Founder,
Jerry Brassfield, is still part of the business.” The Eggert’s
business has been re-energized. “We complement each other
perfectly,” interjects Shirley. “I am the product expert, and
Bill is the business expert.” Bill is particularly excited
about the new PROVitality. “It’s very exciting,” he says. “It
provides tools that allow others on our team to duplicate our
business. It gives new Distributors instant rewards, and that
creates wonderful excitement.” Shirley adds, “It’s the kind of
business you don’t want to retire from. Bill’s passion is
contagious. We’ve recently signed up several new Distributors.”
Shirley continues, “GNLD has provided me with a lifestyle many
people barely dream is possible. We recently purchased a
five-bedroom home on a golf course; we travel whenever we want;
we own the boats and cars that we want; and best of all, we’re
working our business together.”
When Martha Torres came to this country in 1989, her first job was
helping someone clean their house. As the years passed, she took
care of her family—husband, Ernesto, and four daughters—and worked part-time in food service at a local high school. The
work was physically very demanding: food preparation, pushing
heavy food carts, and then washing dishes. “I was tired all the
time, and
thought, THIS is my life. This is all that is going to happen to
me,” she recalls, wistfully.
Ernesto worked as a welder, and their family income was limited.
Things she could not afford included separate bedrooms for her
daughters. Although they had the room, in order to defray
household costs, they needed someone to live in their extra
bedroom. Martha and Ernesto often could not afford nice clothes
or the new school supplies their daughters wanted. “It broke my
heart many times when I had to say, ‘No, we can’t afford it,
’”Martha confides. “And it always made me sad that they never
had a real bedroom set. We only had mis-matched pieces, and
nothing extra like end tables or even a desk to do their
homework.” About eighteen months ago, fate changed the
lives of Martha and Ernesto. Ernesto had such severe back
problems that he was anxious to try GNLD’s products when he
first heard about them. His improvement was immediate and
dramatic—and he became a Distributor! While Martha was happy to
witness Ernesto’s new health and mobility, she couldn’t help but
resent the money he spent. “I was so mad. I said, ‘We don’t have
$49 to spend on this!’” After seeing the continued benefits to
Ernesto’s health, though, Martha began to learn more about the
products—and The GNLD Opportunity—and she realized that perhaps
their new income could make up the $49 investment. But when
their first bonus check arrived in the amount of $7, Martha was
not happy! “I laughed but then yelled, ‘They are liars! I knew
we shouldn’t have spent the $49.’” She now laughs at the memory.
“I felt a little better when our second monthly check was close
to $50, but still…” her unsaid thoughts trail off. “By the sixth
month, our check was over $1000, and I knew this Opportunity was
real.” Ernesto and Martha’s most recent monthly check was over
$9000—and their lives sure have changed!
“Ernesto and I
always wanted to travel the world, but the only place we visited
was Mexico to see my parents. Now we have been to Lake Tahoe and
Nashville, and soon GNLD will pay all our expenses to Cape Town,
South Africa! “I used to have very low self-esteem, and my
daughters knew this. Now they know I’m a business-lady, and the
two oldest help with our business. When the checks come, they
say, ‘That’s my mom’s check.’ They are so proud, ”Martha
continues, beaming. “Since joining GNLD, our lives have
completely changed. We enjoy healthy foods. We used to go to
fast-food restaurants every day, but now we have a refrigerator
filled with healthy foods.” And speaking of refrigerators,
Martha and Ernesto were happy to discard their old one and
replace it with a brand new one. Martha has also recently
ordered new bedroom sets for her daughters—complete with
matching end tables, mirrors, and a full computer station!
Other
changes in the Torres household include the woman Martha
recently hired—to help clean her house!
