Andrew & Claire MacKay Johannesburg Chartered Accountant / Listed Company CEO and Teacher "This extra-ordinary opportunity has allowed us to build a significant business and create real financial freedom within a relatively short period." The best of Amway: The Mackay family is a living witness of what can be achieved through the Amway opportunity. As Andrew Mackay explains, 'This is an almost entirely risk-free business opportunity, with extraordinary credentials, which in one's part-time allows you, over a relatively short period of a few years, to build a significant business. It has enabled us to create real financial security and to create more free time (that rarest of commodities) to pursue our passions (inter alias: wilderness, birding, theatre, family), and to truly be there for our children as they grow up.". Andrew worked long hours in a demanding, highly stressful corporate and business environment and Claire worked in a so often underrated, very stressful, teaching job. They had a good standard of living, but no time to enjoy it! In spite of putting in many hours of work they always had to deal with the underlying fact that the corporate world is very fickle and that corporate security can be very unsure, facts that complicate managing your own traditional business and enjoying a normal family life. For both Andrew and Claire juggling full-time careers, managing their own business and raising four active children meant that there was hardly any time to follow their passions and spend enough time with each other and their children. Reaching Emerald has enabled Andrew to reduce his conventional business responsibilities significantly and spend more time following his personal interests and spend time with his children: a true testimony of genuine financial freedom … to take back ownership of your life! . Working in the Amway environment brought about many unexpected bonuses of which one has been working with and getting to know other IBOs as close friends. They have met the most extra-ordinary people and have enjoyed sharing the journey of achieving success and seeing genuine pride in everyone's efforts. One of the most rewarding elements of the Amway business opportunity is sharing the joy of offering others a truly unique opportunity to better their own and their family's lives. To the MacKays their life has changed to having almost everything of the best: they are part of a business that is at the leading edge of some of the most major business trends of modern times; a business with non-existent barriers to entry: nominal financial investment, no business background necessary, it holds no threat to one's existing career or businesses and it has the backing of some of the most successful companies in the world. The most important of everything that Andrew and Claire achieved since joining Amway is the joy of spending quality and quantity time with their four daughters, supporting and following each one's passion, ranging from swimming, to dancing (ballet and Irish Folk Dancing) to rhythmic gymnastics … and more than anything they are glad to be the full time parents their daughters need, to keep up with their growing passions! |
Jonathan & Lizette Liesching East London, South Africa Anaesthetist & Pharmacist / Owner of Wellness Clinic Jonathan (Jon) and Lizette both come from busy medical professional backgrounds. Jon is an anaesthetist and Lizette is a retired pharmacist, who is now managing a small weight-loss clinic in conjunction with building their Amway business. The Lieschings have been a part of the Amway Business since 1999, but it took a while before they realised that the business could be a 'real' opportunity and could bring about huge success, change and financial and 'time' freedom. Achieving Sapphire status is a testimony of the 'real' business opportunity and the 'real' growth it has brought about in their business and personal lives over the past three years. Jon and Lizette's prime reason for building their Amway business was to win their ongoing battle against time: Lizette has now stepped out of her professional roll as a pharmacist and the couple is working hard to afford John the same opportunity. As Jon and Lizette say: 'We both had to learn and grow in our leadership rolls and acquire more leadership skills, something we are still working on! Reaching Sapphire is one more step on our path to Emerald, Diamond and beyond. We cannot imagine life without being a part of our extended Amway family!' The Lieschings have been blessed with three beautiful, talented daughters, Carla 22, Nicole 18 and Michaela 7. It is one of their most important goals to be on a business level that will afford them the chance to spend more quality time with their daughters. One of their greatest joys are the three generations of their family involved in the Amway business; working together has definitely strengthened all family-ties. With their success they have also managed to make another dream come true: funding a project to educate gifted, underprivileged children in the Eastern Cape. | |||||||||||||||||
