Building their Amway business together has enhanced the lives of Botswana's Doreen and Mmetla Masire in many ways.

"As we get to spend time together, our relationship has become closer and we're more understanding. We have also met people from different backgrounds who have enriched our lives tremendously," says obstetrician and gynaecologist, Doreen.

Both she and Mmetla, an electrical & electronics engineer, work fulltime in their respective professions in Gaborone and build their Amway business part time.

"In May 2006, a colleague, who has since become a great friend and mentor, suggested Amway as something that would allow me to spend more time with my family. My husband joined me a year later, having seen my determination and commitment and that the system really works," says Doreen.

The Masires attribute their success as Independent Business Operators to "consistent commitment, even when things are not going so well and great support from our 11-year-old twin sons, Ame & Tumo and our team mates.

"This is a truly amazing opportunity, open to anyone, regardless of background, provided they are willing to work and learn.

The most compelling reason for us to build this business is to overcome our time bankruptcy. We would like to replace both our full-time incomes in the next two years to allow us to do the things that matter, like spend more time with friends and family, as well as do meaningful work," say the Masires.


Born and bred Namibians, Maryna and Marius Hough, dream of being free to take to the road and sleep under the stars whenever and for as long as they want!

The Houghs believe that building their Amway business together is bringing them ever closer to realising their dream.

"When the mother of a best friend of our son, Michael, 21,invited us to join the organisation in 2005, Maryna was a full-time secretary for an orthopedic surgeon and Marius was self employed in the office equipment business.

Our constantly-growing business has enabled Maryna to resign from her job and achieve her goal of being a full time mom to four-year-old Minette and moved Marius to seriously considering early retirement.

Being a successful Independent Business Operator is thanks to Network 21, the team work and spirit of members, and our relentless pursuit of our jointly visualised dreams to be financially free, be full time parents and go Emerald by the end of 2009.

We'd like to help others achieve their dreams, just as we believe we'll soon be free to take to Namibia's roads and enjoy our beautiful landscape, whenever and for as long as we want."
