“We have to embrace change if we
want to grow”—Josephine held on to
this maxim when she realized a few
years ago she was ‘stuck.’ She was a
schoo l physician while her husband
Leslie worked for a transportation
business. She finally thought of join-
ing Amway later on, seeing success
and a much bigger sense of financial
freedom that then rippled to her fam-
ily’s benefit.
It was all about “waiting” for Wei Xu
and Zhigon Ci back in China—wait-
ing for their day-off, waiting for pay-
day, waiting for retirement. Both found
themselves lost, with no clear path
and direction in their career. They
would soon be introduced to Amway
mentors John and Judy Ding, who
then flew to the Philippines to start
building their Amway business. Here,
they found a new dream and purpose.
“We believe there’s a mission for us
by the arrangements of God, to help
more people in the Philippines and to
achieve the goal not just through hard
work, but also through the support of
the world’s best company, best prod-
ucts, and best mentor team,” they say.

After working as a businessman and
an accountant in a shipping compa-
ny respectively, husband and wife
Remigio and Anastacia found them-
selves preparing for retirement. They
would, however, leave retirement as
an idea when they discovered Amway
later on. (Remigio saw Amway’s
agri-products to be effective in his
farming biz!) The couple would then
get themselves oiled again to pursue
a career as ABOs. Stressing the im-
portance of financial independence
in their age while raising a family,
Anastacia shares, “My husband wants
me to stay home and live a simple life.
But I decided to retire early and fo-
cus on my Amway business instead. I
want to leave a legacy to my children.
And little by little, he understood.”

He’s no stranger to Amway—he grew
up taking Nutrilite, and his mom used
to be in the business back in China.
But his own journey into the compa-
ny started later on. Zhengzhong was
then working as at a telecommunica-
tion company in China, and then flew
to the Philippines with his friend Meng
Fei to pursue a jewelry business. He
would get introduced to a team leader
from Amway, and then find himself fas-
cinated enough with it to start his own
Amway business. Zhenzhong, who
loves trying new ventures and taking
on challenges, ultimately reached his
goal to become a Platinum ABO. On
his next goal to reach Diamond status,
he says, “I do believe that if everyone
can do it, I can do it, too!”
Jiuhan discovered Amway rather in
the most unfortunate of circumstanc-
es. She was a sickly kid, who’d get
confined at the hospital twice a week
and take lots of meds. This altogether
let her miss out on most of her child-
hood, until Amway came into the pic-
ture. Jiuhan would then rely on Amway
supplements to better her health and
finally get her to live a much better
life. She later signed up as an ABO. “I
know this business is really good. With
Amway, I hope I can help more people
like me. I am confident that I can do
better in the future,” she shares. Jiuhan
credits her success to her leader and
father figure David Sun, next to her
mom who is also an ABO.

Melanie found the Amway busi-
ness as the perfect opportunity for
a career, so she excitedly grabbed it.
While she was introduced to the busi-
ness through a friend, she was al-
ready using the products herself—in
fact, she still uses them to this day!
The now-successful ABO’s top tricks
of the trade? “Don’t let anybody steal
your dreams! Just pay more attention
to your business, because in the end,
you’ll realize it’s all worth it.”
“In the beginning, I didn’t think I can
do this business,” shares Wan Yo, who
came across Amway while work-
ing in a Chinese temple here in the
Philippines. This career eventually un-
furled a blanket of opportunities for
this foreigner—despite living far from
her homeland and away from her
loved ones—to prosper. Wan Yo even-
tually worked her way up to be a top
ABO, finding the Philippines not just
as a good place for business but also
her second home.
