CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER

orldVentures is so bold and visionary that
I am continuously struck by it. During my
20 years in network marketing, Ive had the
privilege of working for three of the largest companies
in the industry. Yet, despite their success, this is by far
the fastest-moving and most exciting company I have
ever been a part of. WorldVentures has something
many other companies dontheart and soul. There
are no traditional metrics to measure these ethereal,
yet profound key performance indicators. Add to this
our leaderships bold ambition and vision, and we
have the potential to be one of the top players in our
industry and beyond.
Founded on the principles of fun, freedom and
fulfillment, WorldVentures values its people above its
profits. This is one of the secrets of our success. By
shifting the focus from chasing revenue to changing
lives, weve built a loyal base of customers and
Representatives who are spreading the word about
our company and fueling phenomenal growth. Not to
mention, were selling a product everyone wants.
The results have been astounding! We run 16 major
events and hundreds of regional events a year.
Were on the verge of delivering 100 DreamTrips
per week, and well soon be in 30 countries. We
have a new app, a new tech platform and two
new internal businesses underway. If thats not
impressive, I dont know what is. Underpinning
these achievements are product excellence,
sustainability and innovation.

Whats even more exciting is we are just getting started. On the

horizon is a solidified global brand platform with upgraded brand and
style guides, and an agency in Asia to help us translate the brand worldwide.
We are moving toward a glocal focus as a global entity operating locally.
Weve also merged our brand, marketing communications and creative functions
into an internal agency to support the glocal evolution under new leadership by
a celebrated brand experience agency specialist. An example of our glocal effort
is the launch of 49 versions of the You Should Be Here video, which has been
customized and translated for each of our markets and includes DreamTrips of local
interest and local leadership testimonials.
Nothing unites global audiences like social media, and our ratings are on par with the
top network marketing companies in the world. Given our new campaigns and app
expansion plans, including plans to help our Reps and customers easily share the fun,
freedom and fulfillment so plentiful in our community, we are on target to becoming
a social marketing powerhouse.
With the help of some of the retail worlds best and brightest talent, we are developing
and further defining our products, driving value and creating a 360-degree experience
for our customers. Stay tuned for more exciting news on DTLocal, e-commerce and more.
DreamTrips are now under the direction of the new Travel Products division leader who
is structuring our team to deliver best-in-class products and customer experiences. We
expect to achieve 100 DreamTrips a week by the fourth quarter, driven by our qualityover-quantity motto. Every part of our 18-step process is being evaluated, enhanced and
measuredincluding strict service-level agreements with our global vendorsto ensure
delivery that meets our product and brand standards.
As you can tell, we are on the cusp of a historic shift, and there is no better time than
now to be a part of WorldVentures. Partnering with our executives, corporate talent
and field leaders, we are on course to become the most inspiring and sustainable
direct sales company in the world.

IZEHI PHOTOGRAPHY

In fact, shes always found her best success in

the company of others. And maybe thats why,
after her nephew approached her about the
WorldVentures opportunity nine years ago,
Gail called her friend Bobby Cochran, who
formerly reported to her at GM but had since
retired. It didnt take much convincing, and the
two decided to start a WorldVentures business
together, leveraging their combined strengths
to build something great. Just like their days at
GM, theirs is the perfect blend of personalities.
Everyone who knows Bobby loves him, Gail
says. And Im Type AI never stop working,
which can be a strength as well as a weakness.
We balance each other out.
With that spirit of collaboration in mind, Gail
says her favorite WorldVentures core value
is We Are One Big Team. Im passionate
about it. With that one team philosophy,
you recognize that everyone brings different
skills to the table. When you bring all of those
talents together, synergize them, live that
philosophy and put it into practice, something
incredible happens.
Its a philosophy she and Bobby have worked
hard to promote throughout their organization,
which they refer to as a cross-line team,
meaning they routinely share ideas and key
learnings and help anyone who asks, without
expectation of financial gain. While she and
Bobby have built an organization of thousands,
its a close-knit bunch, keeping in touch via
conference calls, a team website, and team
trips and events. We train together, work
together, acknowledge each other and
celebrate together, Gail says.
Further: We teach our team to help everyone,
regardless of lineage. Theres nothing wrong
with a little competition when its in the
spirit of fun, but unhealthy competition can
promote separation. It can be destructive.
Long-term, were more successful when we
embrace the larger WorldVentures team. We
let everyone know about our events so if we
have people from other teams in states where
we have active teams, and the rest of their
organizations are somewhere else, they dont
have to be alone. When we help each other,
ultimately, the company gains, and I know if
the company gains, I gain. Working together as
One Big Team means everyone wins. Integrity
and unity are everything to me.
She continues: There are no special privileges
for particular individuals or groups here.

WorldVentures welcomes all backgrounds. I was

in corporate America for 33 years and I never
saw anything that could compare to how this
company embraces people of all backgrounds.
I can see the commitment of this company to
be one team, and I want to instill this value in
my team. Everyone has an equal opportunity
to realize success. If we can continue to
capture that as a company and let it infiltrate
throughout the organization, I think well be
one of the top companies in the world.
Gail is keeping that One Big Team
mantra in mind as she looks ahead to
the next five years of her WorldVentures
business. Although she continues to work
as hard as ever, her end goal may not be
what youd expect.

company, she says. Theyre working hard

and helping a lot of people. Many ask me
when Im going to hit Double and Triple IMD,
but the truth is that I really have no personal
rank or income goals. WorldVentures has
enhanced my life so much, and at this point,
how much money and how many things
do I really need? Instead, Im going to help
as many people as I can with this awesome
company. Thats my mission. Im already
living my dreams. Within my organization,
weve got many young people in their 20s
and 30s, and theyre looking at another 20 or
30 years of work, at a minimum, working a
traditional job. There are people in their 50s
and 60s with no hope of retiring in the near
future. If I can help them reduce that even by
a few yearsfree them up sooner from a 9-to5 jobthats the legacy I want to leave. And I
have the right vehicle to do it.

WorldVentures is in, and a progressive city
like Dallas, Texas, was just the place for
Scott and Sheila to begin.

AN EMOTIONAL JOURNEY
Scott and Sheila are both proud and humbled by the success theyve
achieved. Scotts collaboration with the executive team to create the first
presentations as well as world-class programs like Vacation Sooner has
benefitted company growth and stability immensely. The contribution has

not gone unnoticed. WorldVentures execs and leadership have the highest
regard for Scott and Sheilas insight and view them as members of a very
close-knit family. Scotts been a valuable partner and is a consummate
strategist and highly analytical problem solver, says President of
WorldVentures Holdings, Eddie Head. Yet, despiteusing our vernacular
his green perspective, the humanity of our industry is never lost on him.
He has the heart factor and is always thinking about the people impact,
and how we as a corporate team support our Reps and customers.

Today, Scott and Sheila are setting new goals as their team aims higher. To sharpen their focus,
Scott leads them in leveraging their strengths and overcoming deficiencies.

We want our people to rank up and realize their dreams. One of our goals is to have all of
our friends become financially free, he says. A lot of our short-term goals center around
friends who have become like family. Long term, we want to earn the million-dollar ring
and hit Double IMD.

Scotts strategy for building his business is based upon existing, tested
methodologies taught by company leaders, including one-on-ones and twoon-ones, travel parties and big events. Among the sales tools he uses are the
Advantage program, Living Proof and Vacation Sooner. Scotts love for his team
and his leadership are extensions of his belief in people, his devotion to God
and his genuine empathy for those who are not living up to their potential.

One of the things you have to embrace as a leader are people, and peoples
lives can get messy. This is an emotional journey. Most people will have parts
of their personality, including personal inadequacies, exposed for the first
time by this business. People get their feelings hurt and get frustrated. People
blame and get jealous. If one person is having success and someone else is
not winning or winning slower, that can bring out ugliness. Our overall aim
as leaders is to work with people who are willing to grow, change and adapt.
We need people with a champions heart who are humble enough to be
beginners. We cant help everyone; we can only help the willing.

A HIGHER PURPOSE
Scott and Sheila ask no more of their team than theyve given
themselves, so they speak from experience. Trial and error, and
failure and success are part of their story, too. Its why their team
follows and respects them. At UNITED in April, Scott offered
conference attendees tips on pushing through plateaus.

As he recounted his presentation, he says: When you hit a wall, its

an extremely frustrating place to be. Everyone who has won has been
there. One of the things I said was to know that there is some blessing
that will come out of this process. So fall in love with the process.

Sheila concurs: Live the moment that youre in. A lot of goaloriented people have a tendency to focus on the next goal instead of
relishing their current level of achievement and savoring their lives
on a daily basis. Weve been through the process and have come out
on the other side. I missed out on a lot of satisfaction throughout

SPORTS
SCOUT
||| BY MARC ACCETTA

y the time we graduate from high

school, we have spent somewhere in
the neighborhood of 15,000 hours
in a classroom. Thats a long time! During
those hours, we become programmed in
many ways. One of the ways is that we are
expected to get 90 percent or better on
our work if we are going to rise to the top.
Expecting to be successful is important,
but when you are trying to do something
remarkable, you are never going to succeed
90 percent of the time.
Professional sports scouts have to look at
their job in a very different way. Their job
is to look at hundreds of prospects to find
a handful of great players who can have
a major impact on their team. They dont
score 90 percent. They would be thrilled to
have 10 percent of the players they scout
become great players. The norm would be
more like 1 percent.
They dont get discouraged when they go to
a game to watch a player and he is not the
superstar the scout had hoped. They simply go
scout another player at another game. They
know that its rare to find true greatness.
When their careers are over, if they
discovered three to four exceptional players,

they will be held in the highest esteem

by their colleagues. Many of them would
actually be famous for simply scouting one
future great.
When you become a Representative with
WorldVentures, we teach you that you are
sorting, not selling. That is critical when you
are introducing prospects to the opportunity.
Its pointless to sell someone on becoming
a Rep if they are not excited to be one.
But the sorting doesnt stop there! The next
sort is to see who takes action to build their
customer base and team. Unfortunately,
many new Reps never take that step, so you
have to determine who is willing to take
action and who is not. The third sort is to
see who takes action. How many of them
start really leading? How many take the
initiative and become independent of you?
The fourth and final sort is to see who will
excel. Who has the passion and the talent to

Scouts have to be honest when evaluating

talent. They cant want it more for
the player than the player wants it for
themselves. Many players with talent have
a bad attitude. Others have a great attitude
but marginal talent. Its very rare to find a
player with both.
Thats the kind of math that a professional
sports scout understands. There are many
good players, and even a fair amount of
great ones, but there are only a handful
of game changers. A great scout looks at
everyone, but their true success comes from
sorting through large numbers of players to
find two to three superstars!
So, stop trying to turn every Rep on your
team into an Eric Grzybowski or a Bethany
Webster. Know that players like that are
very few and far between, and to have a
few of those players on your team, you
have to go through a large number of

be a superstar with us?

average players.

As you can imagine, every time you do

another sort, the numbers dwindle. If you
sign up 50 Reps, 20 take action. Of those 20,
only five may become true leaders. And of
those five, maybe only one will become
a superstar!

There is not an exact number, and there

is no guarantee you will even find them,
but when you make the numbers your
friend, you may just end up finding
enough game changers to create a
championship dynasty!

ime is a hot commodity that we are all

constantly trying to find more of. Whether
youre in pursuit of time to strengthen your
business, create more family memories, earn
residual income or a combination of all three, Ive
mastered the ideal technique to add customers and
Representatives daily.
The four-minute presentation is designed to
work for any Representative, regardless of how
much time you have. It all begins with your
posture and how you present the company as
well as how you entice the potential prospect
or customer.

up with the next question: If you paid for a

one-time membership as well as a monthly
fee, which allows you to earn commission,
would you do it? Then write Rovia in the
middle of the lines, circle it and say, Youre in
on that benefit as well.

Heres how the four-minute presentation works:

Finally, present the advantages of earning

residual income by asking, Wouldnt it be
cool if you could sell those products and
every time you sold that product you could
make commission? Then dive immediately
into explaining the WorldVentures business
system, which states that every time you sell
a product, you make direct commission. I
encourage you to use the real estate broker
and agents example to explain the business
system. For instance, if youre the broker, you
have agents underneath you who give you a
portion of their sales when they close a deal.
The same concept works at WorldVentures in
that every time somebody you bring in sells a

Creating Your

HIGH L I
||| BY DERRON WALKER

am a bottomless pit of passion! Im always telling people, If you

need some, borrow mine! I believe passion is contagious. When
I came to WorldVentures, I didnt really know how to build this
business. I just knew how to lead with my heart and how to sincerely
help somebody else. I lead with and I follow my heartthats what
drew me to WorldVentures.
This company is moving in a direction that excites me, and I have a
deep trust for its leaders. They are leading where I want to go. So,
in everything I do, I follow the vision of WorldVentures. I believe
in and practice the 10 Core Values. I follow my personal values as
well because it is vital to have your own values in your life and in
business. When people follow you, they follow your belief, they
follow your vision and they follow your values. Following my values
drew me to WorldVentures, which makes me a strong leader. I coach
my team on a set of values that makes us a powerful force.

FOLLOW THE HIGH LIFE

Values pave the way to success, so my team follows the HIGH Life.
That means act with Honesty, Integrity, Gratitude and Humility. You
need all four aspects of the HIGH Life to win in life. So, how do we put
these values into practice? I like to tell people that everyone in this
business and in your life is walking around with two buckets. One
bucket is full of water and the other is full of gasoline. You have the
choice of which you want to pour on any given situation.
I tell my team if someone comes up to you to gossip about a travel
party and you join in, you just poured gasoline on a situation that
you needed to pour water on. You need to douse the flame of ill
talk with a statement as simple as, I think they are a great person
and Im not going to talk about them that way. Negativity is just
as contagious as passion; you have to have tools to put it out. If
someone on my team becomes a Senior Representative, you know
Im going to pour gasoline on that because positive energy on your
team will create momentum when you follow the HIGH Life. I tell
my team that we need to police each other in a positive manner.
We edify each other and speak with positivity because what you do
today pays you tomorrow.

KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE

I was listening to an audio of Byron Schrag where he said, The
wave is coming. It doesnt matter if youre in a big boat or a small
boat. When the wave comes, you will rise, but if you are not in
a boat, you will drown. We really come together as a team at
travel parties by practicing the principles of the HIGH Life. Using

24

the analogy of passing an imaginary basketball,

when we are in the room, we are a team, and we are
strongest when we act as a force. There are going to
be bad apples at your travel parties. There are going to be
people who just dont get it, and there will be people married
to a negative mindset, so we pass the imaginary basketball,
keeping our eyes on the prize.
Imagine a real basketball is being passed at a travel party and you
look at your phone, meanwhile someone passes you the ball. What
happens? If youre not paying attention, it hurts you and the team.
So we all stay present and attentive. During testimonies, we keep
our statements to 30 seconds. I say, My name is Derron Walker. I
am a professional drummer. I first heard of WorldVentures at 2:30
a.m. two and a half years ago. It has been a blessing in my life.
Come play with us. In my testimonial, I speak with brevity and
honesty and dont make it into the talk about me show.
On my team there is no talking during presentations. This edifies
the presenter and shows respect. Edification is my favorite part
of the business; its just fun to speak highly of someone else. At
travel parties, Representatives wear red name tags and the guests
wear blue. My team doesnt talk to each other; we look for someone
with a blue name tag and make them feel comfortable. Have fun!
Its not a travel job, its a travel PARTY! Exude positive energy, pay
attention and laugh! They are going to catch fire if you are on fire;
thats what happens.

SIGNIFICANCE AND FREEDOM

I was busy before WorldVentures, juggling life, family and work,
wondering what I could do to make my dreams a reality. To make
this business work, you have to get into the right mindset. A lot of
people will look at where they are in business and be dissatisfied,
then blame the business. I bet if youre not doing as well as you
want to in business, youre probably not doing things as well as you
want to in your life in general. I am humbled to look at the areas
where I need to learn and grow.
This business is always teaching me. We talk about the why of what
we do. For me, the reasons are significance and freedom. Significance
is creating momentum and acting with integrity to create growth
that reaches beyond my direct benefit. The idea of generating growth
and changing lives fires me up! Before WorldVentures, I felt so little
freedom in my work. I was a number. Now I am a successful person. I
show people how to follow where I am going.

Story?

||| BY COURTNEY ROUSH

orldVentures can write so many

unique and unforgettable chapters
in your life. The most meaningful
story youll ever tell is the one that shares your
personal journeywhy you joined, how you got
here, where youve been, what youre doing and
where youre going. Its the story that, in one
snapshot, illustrates why youre traveling your
lifes journey on the WorldVentures path. If you
havent taken the time to write your story, now
is the time to put pen to paper.
Do you realize the impact you can have on
others? As you gather your thoughts, recall
your successes and your failures, because they
made you who you are today. Dont leave out
the obstacles; those details will allow people to
relate to you and trust you. This isnt an easy
business. Overcoming rejection is challenging,
perseverance is challenging, remaining
optimistic and hopeful and passionate is
challenging, but every day you rise to the
challenge, and so can they. Set the expectation
that success doesnt happen overnight, but
with gumption and determination, you can get
thereand the rewards are beyond measure,
heightening your perspective of the world,
not to mention your emotional awareness and
social responsibility.

Include details about your life before

WorldVentures. How were you introduced to
the product and business and what moved you
to say yes? Moved is the opportune word
here because this is an emotional journey.
If you promote it solely as a financial way
out, youre not seeing the big picture. This
company changes lives. What has it changed
in yours? What is your whythe thing that
is closest to your heart that gets you out of
bed in the morning? What moves you to see
further and do more?
As you write your story, communicate the
arc of your experience. What were your early
days like, and how were you able to press on?
How did you develop a team? This can require
a shift in mindset as you ask others to view
themselves through the lens of leadership,
often for the first time. How have you
inspired your team to overcome their own
obstacles? Which trainings inspired you? Who
are your mentors?
Where did you travel on your first DreamTrip
and what kind of impression did it make
on you? What are some of your proudest
achievements and toughest challenges?
What have you seen in the world and in this

business that have changed your life? If youve

participated in a WorldVentures Foundation
VolunTour or service excursion, what did
that mean to you and what did you learn?
Whats your vision for the future and your
teams future? No person is an island, and this
business drives that point home, day in and day
out. Were all in this together. The only way to
fulfill your dreams is if you take others with
you. Cultivate awareness and authenticity on
your team. Discuss the impact of cooperation
and the importance of community, of being
there for others, of teaching and learning from
your team, and of becoming the person you are
today through the process. If you could tell the
person standing in front of you just one thing
about what WorldVentures could bring to his or
her life, what would it be?
When you present the WorldVentures lifestyle,
keep in mind that its a gift. That person sitting
in front of you could very well be mired in
debt, working long hours and unable to afford
a vacation. He or she might be searching for
a way to make a difference in this world and
to be more present in life. Youve chosen a
powerful calling for your life. Now its time
to help others view their lives through the
WorldVentures lens.

35

Take a DreamTrip

If you chose this path because you

wanted more out of lifemore fun,
more opportunity to live your life to the
fullestshouldnt you be taking advantage
of every opportunity to do just that? At
WorldVentures, we like to say that to have
more, we must do more. Its a valuable
mantra, but its easy to get caught up in the
doing and neglect the having. Fortunately,
the solution to striking a balance between
the two is right under your nose. When was
the last time you took a DreamTrip?
Deep focus and determination are integral
to building your business, but so is your
sense of fulfillment. Happiness can
significantly raise your productivity level
and, for many people, theres no greater joy
than the idea of seeing and experiencing
the world while building amazing memories
with family and friends.
Not only do you get to enjoy the excitement
and wonder of exploring a new place, but you
have the opportunity to grow personally as
well. Imagine how your worldview will shift
when you expose yourself to new cultures
with deep, rich histories and diverse groups

36

of people. Peak life experiences like these

will help you learn more about yourself and
the world.

Explore the Product

Aside from personal growth, taking a

DreamTrip opens up many new avenues
for your business to thrive. By immersing
yourself in this community, youll be able to
truly understand the product you spend time
pitching to others. And what better way to
bolster your sales message than to say youve
experienced all it has to offer firsthand?
Instead of telling someone that you guess
riding an elephant in Thailand would be
a good experience, you would be able to
describe how rough the animals skin felt to
the touch, and how surprised you were that
such a large creature moved so gracefully
beneath you.
Though it might sound too good to be
true, its entirely possible to grow your
business just by taking a vacation. When
you embark on a DreamTrip, youll be
traveling with other DreamTrips Members
who are also looking for ways to enhance
their lives. Theyre on a DreamTrip, arent
they? By sharing that experience with

them, youre making a connection

neither of you will forget. Its an
opportunity to build relationships with
like-minded people who can impact
your life for the better while witnessing
something truly amazing.

Take an African Safari

For example, you could set out on an

African safari this December. On this
particular DreamTrip, you would spend
four nights on Lake Kariba in Matabeleland
North, Zimbabwe, getting up close and
personal with some of the bushlands most
magnificent wildlife during the day and
spending your evenings tucked comfortably
away at a luxurious lakeside resort. You
could tell future members about the marvel
of Victoria Falls and what it was like to be
within a stones throw of lions, hippos,
giraffes and more.
What are you waiting for? If you started
your business because youre seeking
more abundance, a DreamTrip is the
perfect place to start. Theres no better
way to reap the rewards of your hard
work than to show belief in the product
youre selling.

I N S PI R E

The Hero in You

/// BY CHANCELLOR PAGE

LONNIE ALI & NANCY LIEBERMAN

s comparative mythology legend Joseph Campbell so

beautifully conveyed, we are all on the journey of life.

We are all in flux. We all face obstacles that

we must overcome to realize our significance,
reinvent ourselves and emerge anew. We
are all heroes. And whether its this triumph
of character that allows us to appreciate
the achievement of others, or whether we
intuitively know, one things for certain: We
are moved by the magnitude of spirit. So,
when we encounter an original whose talent
unmoors expectations, whose heart unites
communities and shapes generations, whose
rise from adversity augments his acclaim, we
are lifted vicariously and are never the same.
Muhammad Alis storied career is as much
about the spirit of compassion as it is
about his legacy as professional boxings
undisputed heavyweight champion of the

44

world. While Muhammads clout and finesse

eviscerated opponents in the ring, his
goodwill out of it is the capstone to his glory.
His valiant humanitarian efforts with his
wife Lonnie have promoted understanding,
freedom and dignity for three decades.
Boxing was just a means to introduce me
to the world, Muhammad has said.
As a 10-year-old, Basketball Hall of
Famer Nancy Lieberman was dazzled by
Muhammads confidence and charisma. I
was watching TV, Nancy recalled, and this
man came on and said, Im the champion
of the world. I beat Joe Frazier like I beat
George Foreman like I beat Sonny Liston
back in 1964. I am the greatest of all time.
I was mesmerized and I walked into the

kitchen and looked at my mother and said,

Im going to make history. Im going to
be the greatest basketball player ever. Im
going to be the greatest of all time.
Nancys professional career was fueled by
Muhammads passion of character. She
accomplished everything she set her mind to,
on and off the court. The parallels between
the two athletes are striking. Both of them
came from very meager beginnings, Lonnie
said. They didnt have much, but they used
what they had. Nancy had a basketball, and
Muhammad had his hands and a pair of
gloves. They made themselves into something
with just those materials. It wasnt anything
fancy, but they made a life for themselves
and theyve affected the lives of so many.

For 35 years, Nancy has held free clinics

and basketball camps to build confidence
and self-worth in children in Dallas/Ft.
Worth. Since 2010, Nancys non-profit and
engine for service, The Nancy Lieberman
Foundation, has collaborated with the
WorldVentures Foundation to create
DreamCourtssafe places to play for boys
and girls in underprivileged communities
across the United States. To date, 17
DreamCourts have been constructed. The
most recent was established at the Harry &
Sandy Rosenzweig Branch of The Boys &
Girls Clubs of Metro Phoenix, and named
in honor of Muhammad and Lonnie Ali.
Im humbled, Lonnie said during the
DreamCourt unveiling. To have the opportunity
to affect a childs life in this community and in
any community is a gift. Nancy Lieberman has
given us this opportunity, and even though our
name is on here, its really about the lessons
that Nancy has learned in her life growing up
and the lessons Muhammad has learned growing
up. This court gives children an opportunity to
come together and make friendships for life.
There will be a lot of life lessons learned here
teamwork, how to solve differences, conflict
resolution, how to work together, how to make
and abide by rules. So many times, kids dont
get that free play or structure. And its with free
play that they learn how to make decisions and
how to handle things. This is a great place for
kids, and a great place to be able to nurture

them and give them a safe haven to come to

after school and during the summer hours.
At the DreamCourt commemoration in Phoenix,
Nancy addressed the children in attendance.
We all have our story about how we came to
this point in time. I was blessed to not have
my father at home; to not have lights, to not
have heat and to be one grandparent away
from food stamps. I was blessed. I was not a
victim. I was a victor. Muhammad taught me
to be fearless in everything that I do in life. He
taught me to believe in me. He gave me a will
to win. I will challenge you like he challenged
me. Theres going to be a lot of people in life
who will tell you what you cant be; how you
look different or how youre white or youre
black; youre a girl, youre a boy, youre young,
youre old. Theres going to be so much thrown
at you. But if you want something, you have
to believe in you. You have to love you and

Local Attraction
/// BY MICHAEL J. LEWIS

ERIC ALLEN, INTERNATIONAL MARKETING DIRECTOR

ince joining WorldVentures, Eric Allen

has watched many Reps venture far
beyond their local areas and experience
huge success and wealth. But for him recently,
the key to achieving International Marketing
Director has been staying local. Really local.
As in, his home state of Indiana, where he lives
in Whitestown, a small city about 25 miles
from Indianapolis. Thats where the 38-yearold former college basketball coach has been
focusing his attention, and its paid off big-time.
Between finding new customers and leading
by example, Eric has shown that staying
close to home can yield huge results.
I found theres a lot of untapped potential
just by staying close to home, Eric says.
Eric has long been highly self-motivated
in WorldVentures, and hes been passing
that motivation along to more than
just his team. His four children are all

46

aware of WorldVentures, with 12-yearold Bryce the most interested.

I really work hard so I can leave a legacy
for future generations of my family, Eric
says. Bryce is starting to notice a lot
of things about my lifestyle, about how
his dad is more present than most of his
friends dads, and how great that is. He
wants to be a part of this someday.
Part of Erics success has been his ability to
build trust and show transparency in his WV
business. He says he does that by following
the Golden Rule, and also by answering every
question he gets openly and honestly.
Ive been fortunate to attract high
quality, transparent people on my
team, Eric says. If you set unrealistic
expectations on what people can expect,
you dont attract the right kinds of people
you want to be in business with.

Eric says he has seen people in direct sales

promise the moon and then face disappointed
new acquaintances. Instead, he combats
skepticism with open-mindedness.
Im not trying to beg or promise anyone
anything to come join us, Eric says. There
are obviously people who have been turned off
to direct selling, and some of them wont be
interested in whatever you have to say. Im a
firm believer that closed minds dont get fed.
Im looking for positive people everywhere.
Eric believes that the companys core
values create an environment of trust,
and his track record aligns with the
authenticity and contribution that has
put WorldVentures on the map.
He continues to build, brick upon brick, the
foundation of fun, freedom and fulfillment for
future generations, worldwide and especially
those who have joined him close to home.

RANDY AND WANDA WEBB

INTERNATIONAL MARKETING DIRECTORS

48

hen Randy Webb looks back on the journey to

International Marketing Director, one of his
favorite stories to tell is about breaking bread
with a family in Little Rock, Arkansas. It was a brand-new
market, and the Representative who started it was the
sign-up of a sign-up of a sign-up, but Randy could see
something special about this Representative, this family.
But before we get into that story, theres something
you should know about Randy and his wife, Wanda:
They have no patience for disingenuous leaders or
anyone who will step over other people to achieve
their goals. Fourteen years in the military as a pilot
has imbued Randy, and Wanda for that matter, with
the ability to size up a leaders integrity at a glance.
And when IMD Eric Grzybowski sat Randy and Wanda down
at their first in-person meeting and envisioned, You guys

WorldVentures, driving hours and hours just to attend

a Regional Training in Dallas, and then hours more to
a special presentation by Dr. David Pietsch. Anaas now
needed help breaking open the Little Rock market.
As Randy tells it, We did the presentation and everything.
People signed up, but the biggest part of that visit
was sitting at their kitchen table with the entire
family. We just talked about the vision, and I was fully
transparent with them about where I was, who I was. Kinda
told some secrets of my life, what I wanted out of
WorldVentures. It was an emotional conversation and
the key to developing a sustainable relationship with
Anaas and his family.
Wanda chimes in, If you ask anyone on our team who
works directly with us, I think they would consider us
friends before they would consider us mentors. And thats

Eric saw potential in the Webbs and committed to help

them. Its that commitment to treating each teammate
as the person they can become, instead of the person
they are in that moment, that put Randy in Little Rock,
Arkansas, sitting at a kitchen table surrounded by a
family that was open to the WorldVentures lifestyle.

are going to be IMDs in WorldVentures, the Webbs knew

they were staring into the eyes of a man they could follow.
Wanda recalls: Everything about him from his head to his
toes, everything in his body, his posture, the way he said it, the
way he blinked when he said it, let me know he was serious.
Eric saw potential in the Webbs and committed to help
them. Its that commitment to treating each teammate
as the person they can become, instead of the person
they are in that moment, that put Randy in Little Rock,
Arkansas, sitting at a kitchen table surrounded by a
family that was open to the WorldVentures lifestyle.

TREATING PEOPLE RIGHT

Randy was in that kitchen because of Anaas Hobbs.
Anaas had already shown his commitment to

a goal; not because we strive to be liked by everyone, but

we strive to treat people right. Even if they never put a
soul in our business, some people need WorldVentures
not for income; they need it for a healthy, social,
positive life. And if we treat them as outcasts because
we cant build a team with them, were missing it.

CHASING THE DREAM

As driven as Randy and Wanda were to reach IMD and create
the lifestyle theyve been dreaming about, their vision is
biggeras big as the team theyve built, Weve set the bar
high for ourselves, and weve also fallen in love with the
stories on our team, Randy says. And if you start thinking
about the people on your team, theres never a finish line.
Good thing for Randy and Wanda, WorldVentures
will always be One Big Team.

Pillars of Leadership
/// BY PAIGE RODGES

BUFFY CHANG AND HOWIE SUN

INTERNATIONAL MARKETING DIRECTORS

hat happens when you make

a career bettering the lives of
others at the expense of your
own? Thats where Buffy Chang and her
husband Howie Sun were before they found
WorldVentures. Howie, a third-generation
acupuncturist, worked as a physician to
treat and remedy pain for his patients while
he and Buffy struggled to keep up with
the demands of expanding their clinic.
Buffys world travels started early. Growing
up in Taiwan, she and her mother would
take yearly international vacations. Buffy
developed a passion for travel, a love of
other cultures and skills as a linguist. These
experiences would lay the groundwork for
her future opportunities at WorldVentures
as an International Marketing Director.
Buffy and her husband accomplished all
they set out to do in their careers; they
were running a successful and lucrative
acupuncture clinic in Seattle, Washington.
Where will we be in 20 or 30 years?
they asked. From the outside, they had

50

a life others envied. In reality, they were

tired from promoting their business
and only seeing their children long
enough to put them to bed at night.
The architect who built Buffy and Howies
acupuncture clinic was a Facebook friend.
They began to notice pictures posted of
his family vacations. Even their children
were traveling and they always posted
photos with a blue banner that read,
You Should Be Here! They wanted to
find out how this life was possible, but
it would take more than a year before
Buffy and Howie were ready to jump in.
We had no direct sales experience to
start out with. I was afraid of sharing this
opportunity with friends at the beginning,
Buffy says. They sold their clinic, dissolved
other income streams and focused on
WorldVentures full time. And after two years
in the business, Buffy and Howie increased
their income, the time they spent traveling
with their children and the opportunities
to make friends and support loved ones.

WorldVentures has given me the opportunity

to inspire people and give them hope,
Buffy continues. I want to be an advocate
for courage, calling people to step out of
their comfort zones and to allow them to
make a dent in the universe. We all deserve
better, but people are too afraid. I want to
be a living example of WorldVentures core
values, and be contagious about it!
Buffy identifies with the core values of honesty
and integrity. These are the pillars by which
she leads her team. She doesnt believe in
hype or selling the WorldVentures lifestyle
by making promises: WorldVentures is good
enough. We share it with passion and honesty.
As Buffy and Howie move toward making
their personal goals of traveling, improving
the lives of family members and building
their oceanfront dream home a reality, theyre
expanding their business. Theyve traveled the
world and are using past experiences to enrich
their business today. Theyre earning more
than enough for themselves and enough to give
back and make a difference in the world.

MELANIE LEVITZ

NATIONAL MARKETING DIRECTOR

y age 5, South Florida-native Melanie

Levitz was being raised by just her
mother, who was originally from
Israel. Shed weekend with her father, who
hailed from upstate New York. Both parents
were extremely independent, and Levitz
knew shed inherited that trait. Growing up
around arguments and drug addiction, Levitz
quickly decided what she didnt want in life.
My sister was born when I was 14, and I
had to become a second mother to her, as
her father was not in the picture, Melanie
recalls. I realized that I wanted to become

Wayne Nugent and everyone who

52

the inspiration for her to look up to, and at

that point I decided to enroll in the Junior
Reserve Officer Training Corps in high school.
While attending, I knew that the military
would be my route for success and to travel
the worldfulfilling a dream of mine.
After high school, Melanie joined the U.S.
Air Force, specializing in Aviation Resource
Management. The military taught me how to
be a leader and a supervisor, she says of her
12 years serving her country. I experienced
a taste of what its like to travel and to live
among different cultures. The structure I was
taught in the Air Force prepared my mindset
to follow direction. In WorldVentures, we
always teach If you want what someone
has, just go do what they did. I always
asked questions and looked for guidance
on how to improve and become great.
Mission accomplished. After five years with
WorldVentures, Melanie has finally achieved
a National Marketing Director position.
Its a humbling experience knowing that

friends whove joined and locked arms

with me believed not only in me but in
themselves to win, she says. Theyre
becoming such great leaders and creating
many more great leaders on their teams.
No one becomes successful alone. When
you help others achieve their dreams, yours
comes along with it. I believe when you do
the right thing all the time, God will provide.
I just thank WorldVentures, Wayne Nugent
and everyone who never gave up on their
dreams so that we can live ours as well.
Melanie believes the key to her WV success
has been treating it as a full-time business.
What business do you know that opens every
other day or once a week? she challenges.
Imagine you joined and it cost $100,000.
Treat it like a business and the income will
come. Stay consistent! And, more importantly,
never quit! As Wayne Gretzky said, You miss
100 percent of the shots you dont take. If you
really think about how simple this concept is
and just do it over and over again until you
win, all your dreams can become a reality.

SETTING
THE EXAMPLE
/// BY FELICIA FULLER

heres more than a semantic distinction

between a coach and a leader, according
to WorldVentures National Marketing
Director Jonathan Henderson. And he, of all
people, should know. After all, hes been both his
entire adult lifeat home, on the baseball field
and in the boardroom. But while coaches and
leaders leverage their knowledge to guide and
instruct, its the latter group that truly inspires.
As a coach, your players have to do what
you tell them, whether they like it (or you)
or not, Jonathan says. In WorldVentures,
you have to get people to follow you.
That requires leading by example.

Influence, vision and trust are the embodiment

of that exampleinfluence to amass the
right team, vision to plot a viable strategy
and trust to maintain team momentum
in the face of possible defeat. Jonathan
had already begun honing these traits as
an investor and entrepreneur in multiple
industries, including consulting, online
technology and even baseball training. But
it wasnt until he joined WorldVentures
that his leadership potential kicked into
high gear, and training was the nexus.
I tell everyone, WorldVentures is a personal
development company disguised as a travel
company, he explains. The training is what

keeps me involved. By being part of it, Im

helping others become their best selves. Its
also allowed me to become the person I was
meant to be. The fifth company I started
was a baseball training center, so Ive always
been a coach, but WorldVentures allows
me to reach people at another level.
Jonathan and his wife, Julie, were
introduced to WorldVentures three years
ago at the invitation of a friend. Already
successful in their own right, given
Jonathans entrepreneurial conquests
and Julies retirement income as a
dental hygienist, they werent seeking
another business opportunity. But the
idea of saving on travel appealed to their
stewardship and sense of adventure.
Im a very open-minded person, so I
was amenable to at least looking at it,

the most rewarding, professionally and

personally. And as their star has risen, so
has the number of people theyve inspired,
empowered and assisted along the way.
Not least among them are their children:
16-year-old Elijah and 15-year-old Grace.
WorldVentures has been the best thing
thats ever happened to our family,
especially my daughter, Jonathan shares.
My daughter accompanied me to national
training events at age 14. She was so shy
and reserved back then. Now shes one
of the most outgoing people youd ever
meet. My son is a competitor playing
baseball on a national level and being
recruited by universities at age 16.
This company is making an impact on a lot
of peoples lives in many ways beyond the
monetary. We build people and I love that.

Jonathan recalls. I understood the concept

of saving money. I thought I would just
refer the product to four people and get
my fee waived. Then I started thinking,
I should do this as a business.
His instincts were on point. Today, he and
Julie are on the cusp of hitting International
Marketing Directora goal they aim
to achieve before the North American
installment of A View from the Edge in October
this year. Their long-term target is Triple IMD,
something Jonathan likens to lightening
striking three times in the same placerare
but conceivable. Of all their achievements,
the couple counts WorldVentures among

LEADERSHIP & HEART

igh school sweethearts Rudy and Salina Atilano

are no strangers to hard work. They married
young and spent the next 14 years building
a family and immensely successful careers from the
ground up. They created a lovely life for themselves, but
the daily grind required to maintain it was starting to
wear on them both. I remember standing on our back
porch, watching our children play, and wanting more,
Salina says. They were searching for more time to
spend with their kids and more freedom to enjoy
lifes blessings.

That evening out turned into the deal of a lifetime.

The duo started their business by devoting 30 minutes
of every evening to making calls and setting up
presentation appointments, but it was clear that they
would need to do more to achieve more. It wasnt
until BootCamp that the switch really flipped, Salina
says. Under the expert care of Scott Ross, the Atilanos
developed a tried-and-true system for success and
havent looked back since.
Salina attributes much of their success to treating every
person on their team like family and building up their
confidence and trust. We remember exactly what starting
out was like, Salina says. Were honest about what it was
like to start out and how we overcame obstacles. We are
all equals in this business. Because of Salina and Rudys
leadership and heart, their team has grown in leaps and
bounds in three years, allowing them to enjoy life and
spend more time with their kids.

egional Marketing Director Nathaniel Stallworth

has always found strength in family. Growing
up in Bedford Heights, Ohio, Nathaniel became
a natural leader due to his extensive household. As a
result, he began working at an early age and missed out
on opportunities to travel and create memories.
That is, until he found WorldVentures.
Previously, Nathaniel was a certified welder and machine
operator. However, an unfortunate incident placed
him on disability. But there was a silver lining: the
introduction of WorldVentures, which changed his life.
A friend of mine reached out to me and he showed me
a presentation, Nathaniel says. When I saw the video
and everyone enjoying DreamTrips as One Big Team, I
knew I was in.
Over the past two years, Nathaniel has taken about 10
DreamTrips. His favorite experience was a DreamTrip
to Cancun, Mexico, where he went on various
excursions and even spent a day on a private island
with other Representatives.
Part of WorldVentures is the mindset, he says. You
have to have an open mind and be willing to join,
so that right there breaks the barrier of any other
company. That adds to the trust and time you dedicate
right away.
As Nathaniel continues to trust in WorldVentures,
he encourages his team to attend every national and
regional training event. He believes that trainers in
all markets provide different and new perspectives to
selling the business, which is critical to understanding
the various ways in which the products can help others.
You have to have vision when it comes to your team,
Nathaniel explains. Its really important to know where
the company is going and where you want to go with
it. Growing a large team means you have to constantly
develop yourself, know as much as you can about the
products and trust that youre going to succeed within
the WorldVentures family.

FAITH

The opportunity came to Rudy in 2012 when a client

told him about WorldVentures, but Rudy wasnt sure it
was the right time. However, fate was persistent. Three
months later, the opportunity came to him again in the
form of a Facebook event invitation touting free pizza
and drinks. He decided it was worth a look. I thought it
could be like a date night! Rudy jokes.

onor, Embody and Expand trust is a

Trust and transparency are the foundation this RMD
uses to build belief in the business.

Do I deserve peoples trust? As a leader, if I can build

HADIATU DUMBUYU
Regional Marketing Director

adiatu Dumbuyus life shifted in two short

months. As she was preparing to travel to
Cincinnati, where she would donate a kidney
to her brother, an old acquaintance introduced her to
WorldVentures. Although she was already the owner
of a successful marketing company, something told
her to pay attention. She signed up and her business
grew massively.

About six years ago, Akil took a leap of faith after

he received a phone call from his childhood friend,
Director Ray Texeira, who presented a concept he
could believe in, and something that was fulfilling:
traveling the world.

That explosion of growth was difficult to manage at

first. The team fought for structure until, eventually,
the momentum of growth fizzled. It wasnt until she
began working with other leaders to train and get
motivated that she understood what it was going
to take to be successful: consistency. Be crazy
consistent, she says. Thats what got me to this
rank and thats how Ill get to IMD.

Since then, Akil has made it his mission to lead by

example. He emphasizes the importance of attending
every national and regional training event to better
understand the products and other Representatives
teaching methods. Additionally, he listens to the
audio trainings and reads entrepreneurial success
books to keep his mind sharp.

Hadiatu believes in the power of speaking from the

heart. Rather than using scripts, she bases everything
off of her gut instinct about a person and their needs
and is up-front about what it takes to do this business.
Im very transparent during presentations. I want
everyone to win, but I let people know that the person
they are today isnt the person theyre going to be later.

Being at events helps me be a better person, he says.

The most beautiful part is that Im no longer the
same person I was when I joined the company. One of
the best things Ive gotten is personal development,
which has kept me in this business since Day One.

For Hadiatu, this business is about helping people. I

grew up watching my parents taking money out of their
checks to send back to Africa, even though they didnt
have much to spare, she says. That same spirit of giving
guides Hadiatu on her journey at WorldVentures. I
went to Cincinnati to save my brothers life and then
found a way to save a lot of other peoples lives, she
reflects. I found a purpose.

Akil says the secret to continued success is

surrounding yourself with individuals who hold
different perspectives.

CHARACTER

You can be confident in something, but if people

dont trust your character then they dont trust
you, he concludes. If people take the time to not
just swing their axe, but actually sharpen it, they
will be successful.

LIKE MOTHER, LIKE SON

BY SCOTT KRAMER

JULIAN BERNARD
Regional Marketing Director

ochester Hills, Michigan native Julian Bernard

and his three brothers were raised by their hardworking mother, Dr. Patricia Bernard. While she
was extremely busy earning her PhD, Dr. Bernard also
instilled the values of hard work and determination in her
boys, ensuring they had a platform for improvement and
were in a good position to succeed. Today, Dr. Bernard and
Julian are Regional Marketing Directors, a feat that would
not have been accomplished without the belief of the
mother and the dedication of the son. Turns out, the fruit
doesnt fall far from the tree.
Julian has been the driving force of this mother-son team,
mainly because he knows what it takes to succeed, after
he hit rock-bottom elsewhere. Julian was managing a cell
phone kiosk in a mall. My job was to stop people walking
in the mall to try to convince them into switching over to
our phone service when they had no intentions of buying
a phone in the first place, he recalls. You can imagine
how many times I got told no each day. I realized it was
a numbers game, and the more people I greeted, the more
phones I would sell. So transitioning into WorldVentures,
people telling me no didnt bother me.
Although his mother initially signed Julian up for
WorldVentures in 2005, and he continued to see the success
of this aunt, Gail Spears, he didnt take the business
seriously until one fateful phone call. Years passed, and
he continued working six-day, 60-hour work weeks. Then
Dr. Bernard called, saying she was having dinner with Cofounder and Chief Visionary Officer Wayne Nugent, who
wanted to meet Julian. Wayne said he used to work for
Verizon, and knew what it was like to go from hero to zero
every month, Julian says. We laughed and then he asked,
Is what theyre paying you worth the amount of hours
youre putting in? My answer was absolutely not. That
conversation resonated with Julian. Attending Momentum
2012, Julian saw the big picture. People were winning at a
very high level. I felt if they could do it, I could too.

WorldVentures has since helped him develop personally

and cultivate his relationship with his mother. Working
with her has been good, he says. She appeals to the
baby boomer crowd and I appeal to the younger crowd.
Its also brought us closer together: We travel and spend
more time together than ever before.

APRIL CONSULO

rowing up in Northern California, a

career in songwriting led April Consulo
to Nashville, Tennessee, where she has
spent the last 20 years. April is a California Hall
of Fame singer/songwriter and has performed
with nearly 50 major country artists. She is
also a former vice-mayor of a community
near Nashville, a top 5 percent realtor in the
nation and the CEO and founder of WOMEN:
Word of Mouth Entrepreneurial Networkers.

April was introduced to WorldVentures by

IMDs Robb and Kim Campbell the same
week she was sworn in as the vice-mayor of a
beautiful lake community near Nashville. What
motivated her at the time was her search for
an income stream for her 501(c)(3) for children
and her WOMEN nonprofit empowerment
program. She thought WorldVentures could
be the answer to her fundraising needs. Her
instincts were spot-on as she now works daily
on WorldVentures and her two nonprofits.
Never taking a day for granted, April has
written songs her entire life. She followed her
dreams with no regrets. However, when she
lost her mother to cancer, she realized just how
completely shut down she was and was not
living by her own advice. She quit songwriting
and touring, and buried herself in her day-today work. Once WorldVentures entered her life,
April went to a life-changing training event: A
View from the Edge. April realized that she did
deserve to be happy and have joy and travel
with her family. After the training event, she

PERMISSION TO LIVE
/// BY JENNIFER BRANDON ELLIOTT

knew she needed to share her story with as

many people as she could, so she authored a
book. She was passionate to let others know
its OK to live without guilt and make as many
memories on this earth while they can.
Besides her accomplishments as a songwriter
and author, April considers becoming a
WorldVentures Regional Trainer and sharing
the stage with IMDs and corporate trainers
her greatest achievement. She loves sharing
her story with the WorldVentures family
and learning from the best. The impact
WorldVentures has made on her life is notable.
By sharing her gift, she has witnessed others
grow, all with the added gifts of freedom
and financial success. April attributes her
teams success to having them sign up for
the Advantage program that comes with
access to Voyager magazine and DriveTime
University training. She also hands out
the WorldVentures core values sheet to
reinforce the integrity of the company.
WorldVentures is Aprils daily mission work.
Her belief system has been a conduit to
greater experiences, including fundraising
for an Atlanta DreamCourt and helping
design a 96-foot custom-painted mural for
the kids of the Boys & Girls Club. What
a blessing it was for the children at the
Atlanta Boys & Girls Club, she says.

She points out: Be prepared to pay your

dues and dig the ditch! It took me over five
years to start opening and performing with
the greatest country artists in the world. I
thank God every day that I was willing to work
hard and pay my dues to get there! Nothing
worth having comes easily, but the rewards
are far greater than you can imagine.
When people are just starting out in
WorldVentures, April tells them the importance
of discovering their why. Knowing why you
joined is key. To promote DreamTrips, she
immediately reviews the weekly email from
WorldVentures and integrates any new products
or DreamTrips that were just announced into
her live presentations and meetings with
her prospects for the upcoming week.
Her favorite DreamTrip does not just stop
at one. From a cruise to NASCAR to the
Team Mega Trip and LEGOLAND, I have
loved all of the DreamTrips that I have
been on. My biggest joy is watching my
family and team having fun together and
knowing the lifelong memories they are
collecting thanks to WorldVentures.

without that, the rest is just words!
Sunita Thomas

Deliver and Promote Excellence! Because
without saying a word you are creating a
trusted and productive culture with a definitive
direction. When you step away from your
accomplished work, will it be considered
a masterpiece?
lajuanlauderdale
My favorite core value is Fun, Freedom and
Fulfillment because its contagious!
macroscopical
Honor, Embody and Expand Trust because
the lack of that could be a tremendous deal
breaker to the success one can have. #wvlife
