Becoming
millionaires from a networking company in the Philippines is not new. We’ve heard quite a number of successful
ones. However, when the achievement
reaches millions in foreign currency like US Dollars, then, it’s really worth a second look. Wow!
Give or take 45 Million Pesos just from networking alone? It’s definitely not your mother’s part-time
direct -selling business. This is
something big!
Tomorrow, Nu Skin Enterprises Philippines with offices
at 15th Floor Octagon Building, San Miguel Avenue will mark another
milestone. Two of their distributors
will be recognized as members of the company’s exclusive Million Dollar Circle.
Other members are mostly Americans,
Japanese, Koreans, Singaporeans and a handful of Europeans. Filipinos Pax and Gina Paculaba will be
joining those ranks.
I’ve
known Pax and Gina for a few years working for Nu Skin Philippines. Quite an unassuming couple with a very simple
lifestyle, at first glance, you never
think they are in the caliber of million dollar earners.
Pax
used to work as high-flying Area Manager for Pepsi Cola. He was enjoying the perks of a 22-year old
sales professional ~ admiration from peers, 6-figure income, house/lot, car and
generous stock option. He was
already eyeing a higher position,
preferably company Vice-President, in whichever company he can move to.
What
he didn’t realize that his career progression, would cost unto his personal
life. The more he went up
the ladder, the more he had has to work harder, spend time at the office
to keep his position. His health
deteriorated, and he was spending less and less time with his family.
Gina
was a promising junior architect when she married Pax. She knew that she was sharing Pax with
someone else, “he was practically
married to his job.” It almost went
spiraling down until an unfortunate incident happened but eventually became a
blessing in disguise. “Pax had a nervous
breakdown which woke him up to the real essence of life.”
When
they were introduced to the Nu Skin opportunity, it was the perfect timing. They were in-need of an alternative vehicle
to success. “We wanted more from life!
It’s not just having the money to carry-on the lifestyle we want for ourselves,
but most especially, the time freedom to enjoy them.”
Well,
the rest they say is history. “You
have to know what you want, believe that you deserve it and work hard to get
it,” Gina says. “I realized that we also have to discover what drives us and
use it to move forward because very often, the path towards achieving dreams is
littered with obstacles that very often stop most people in their tracks.”
“Our
passion for having a family and being able to spend an infinite amount of time
with our kids is important to us,” Gina says. “Together, we want to design
the ideal family environment where both of us are present in raising our
children and, most of all, have ample quality time for our marriage. Our core
desires are clear to both of us, which is why we are successful today.”
Nu
Skin will celebrate Pax and Gina’s success tomorrow, 24th of March
2012 at the Reception Hall of PICC.
Aside from Pax and Gina, they
will also award the top business leaders in the Philippines.
Two
powerful speakers will be at the event to share their success stories, as well.
Traci
Schumacher, a 10-Million Dollar Circle Member from the US, whose expertise is
weight management and has been a coach to celebrities like Faye Dunaway,
Timothy Hutton and Lara Flynn Boyle.
Michiko
Graf, a 20-Million Dollar Circle Member from Japan. Michiko used to be a housewife whose passion includes tennis, boating and water
sports. She even dabbles in singing, was
even a vocalist of a local band. But,
she wanted more from her life, and wanted to get involved in any kind of
business. When she was introduced to Nu
Skin, her drive translated to developing a business so huge, she was even one
of those who really opened Japan to network marketing.
I’m
so excited for my friends in Nu Skin Philippines for this current success. We often say, we are only successful as a
company, if our distributors become successful in their business!!
Wish
I am there with you guys, Go double,
double! Run, Philippines, Run!
