OK, so what do you get when you bring together Hungarians, Romanians, Czechs, Slovaks, Slovenians and Croatians with a sprinkle of staging, a slice of audio/visual, a dab of international speakers and a whole lot of Network TwentyOne??? CERC of course!

“What an outstanding event we had in Debrecen, Hungary with thousands of attendees people from 6 countries of Europe! ABOS from Hungary, Romania, Czech, Slovak, Slovenia and Croatia waited with enthusiasm for the highlight of the business year – The Central European Regional Conference, and it didn’t disappoint them.

31 Diamonds, 13 Executive Diamonds and above, 67 Emeralds and 48 Founders Emeralds and over 600 Platinum+ in the front rows showed the power of Network TwentyOne leadership and support coupled with the world class business opportunity which is Amway.

One of the main highlights of this function was certainly the main guest speaker, representing not only the energy and knowledge he is having but also the second generation of Network 21 – Founder Diamond from the USA, David Dornan. His speeches gave such a momentum and spirit to the audience…… hard to describe in words.

On Saturday morning there was “Blue Jeans” meeting with over 500 young people under the age of 25 listening to David Dornan. What a powerful speaker on stage during just one event Crown Ambassador, Hans Nusshold. His speeches showed the balance of huge experience and an unbelievable vision.

Real Achievers, as our motto for the event was, came together not only to learn from the best but also to celebrate those who already “climbed the hills of challenges and hard work” celebrating new Emeralds and new Diamonds!

We had the first sparkling moment Saturday evening with the celebration of the first Founder Emerald from Slovakia; Andrea and Ivan Kartac. They have reached the Emerald and Founder Emerald level in the same business year. The highlight of the Saturday evening was the New Diamond recognition. Ibolya and Imre Leviczki came into the venue with a spectacular celebration. These were real memorable, actually unforgettable moments that showed to all what can be reached in the Amway business with the support of Network TwentyOne.”

Ho Chi WOW! This is our first iReport from Ho Chi Minh. I’m always amazed but never surprise how universal the concept of opportunity infused with training and support is embraced across countries and cultures.

“We just concluded our second WLS in Vietnam, and the atmosphere was electric, as Vietnam IBOs were inspired by great talks from Diamonds, Ariel and Ambec Driz, Double Diamond, Simon Thompson, and Executive Diamond, Mamie Jones, as well as wonderful talks from local leaders. Ariel demonstrated the business concept simply and articulately and by the time the event concluded, each person in the venue believed that they too could build this business.

Looking forward to the next WLS on March, 2014!”

If for nothing else I wish I were at the event because it was held at the “WOW” connection center … ahhhh, wow!

“Autumn WES of Turkey was conducted on November 09 – 10 in Istanbul. The ABOs and their guests filled WOW Convention Center to listen a world class mentors, Bob & Terry Andrews. Bob made great teaching on the topic of “how to change” on Sunday, and it completed all presentations in parallel of the theme of this event “Achieve”.

The audiences celebrated all successful ABOs throughout Saturday, and the recognition was at peak when they applauded new Founder Emeralds on the stage Saturday evening.

Michelle D’Alliard added color to the event with her presentation on YouthExtend.

All participants agreed on that this event is one of the outstanding one, and a signal of great success in next coming 2014.”

Never a dull moment in the world of Network TwentyOne. There is not a weekend that goes by where Amway business achievement is not celebrated on a Network TwentyOne stage.

“Dreams were again made & achieved last October 19 & 20 in Manila Philippines!
The weekend was held in the newly opened SMX Convention Center in the new high-end SM Aura Mall, at the heart of the fast rising Commercial/Business District “The Fort” in Metro Manila.

A lot of new achievers inspired everyone to keep on dreaming and reaching for their dreams!
It was a very special weekend indeed for new Sapphires Allen & Myra Cloma & New Emeralds Gerald & Christine Novales, who were very emotional & elated!

Special guest speaker Diamond Vasantha Bhargava was welcomed with open arms as she inspired more FIlipinos to grow, learn & succeed!

Amway Philippines was there to show their full support with no less than Amway Philippines Country Manager Ms. Leni Olmedo sharing some new promotions & initiatives herself on the Network TwentyOne stage!

May 2014 bring more success to everyone across the globe! Happy Holidays from your N21 Philippines Family!”

New Diamonds, Double Diamonds, Executive Diamonds … Ok now you guys are just showing off .     Seriously, around the world we celebrate your success and congratulate the amazing achievements of the Russian market. Поздравляем!

There are certain things in life that you will never be able to wrap in a sparkling paper. Delight, inspiration, joy, smiles. Not to be wrapped, but to be gained at an event of Network TwentyOne. The weekend-seminars of the fall were brimming with emotions that resonated long after the functions ended. There was a celebration of success of Network TwentyOne affiliated Amway Business Owners from all over Russia – a multitude of recognitions which revealed a matured team of leaders whose decision has been firm enough to spur passion for new achievements.

New Diamonds Irina Ilina and Vladislav Zolotov, Marina Grigoryan, Galina and Sergey Zvezdunovy, Svetlana and Pyotr Miroshnikovy, Marua and Vladimir Lepshokovy, Marina Kurtsaeva and Arkady Yeremeev; new Founder Diamonds Vyacheslav Petkevich and Mariya Voytovich, Svetlana and Alexander Samokhiny, Galina Istomina; new Founder Executive Diamonds Irina and Sergey Shevelyovy; new Double Diamonds Julia and Yevgeny Zoteevy; new Founder Double Diamonds Marina Zolochevskaya and Sergey Alyotkin. Phenomenal number of new high pins! Phenomenal momentum that must help inspire new ambitions in all leaders worldwide.

Is it just me or do Peter and Debbie look like they are singing a duo in the photo to the right? I can hear it now as I type… “Islands in the stream, that is who we are…” Channeling their inner Kenny Rogers and Dolly Pardon no doubt. 

Nice to hear from the amazing Network TwentyOne team in Thailand. What a testament to an amazing business opportunity and world class business training and support!

“Our Weekend Seminar was conducted in Pattaya, Thailand at the famous Royal Cliff Hotel & Resort. All participants came from all over parts of Thailand and traveled to a get away resort (100 miles) to join the seminar. Crown Ambassador Peter and Debbie Cox were the featured guest speakers and they both were outstanding, their talks were so strong & genuine, motivational and very well complimented by the Thai crowds.

Along with Peter and Debbie, came a group of his international IBOs from India, Philippines & Malaysia to support them. On Sat. night, we had recognized 3 new Emerald couples followed by spectacular entertainment and we recognized a new Diamond couple from the South of Thailand in Had Yai, Mr. Udomsak & Umaporn. They both are truly a product of hard work, upline support, a proven Amway business opportunity and had proven that even though they lived far in the South of the country, they both achieved with the help of  Network TwentyOne’s Business Support Materials, Ongoing Education Programs and world class functions and seminars.

They gave a heartfelt speech that was very inspiring. It’s a wonderful night to remember.”

Great events in the USA. I got to catch a few of the talks from both of the events and I’m proud to report that my comprehension of South African English has improved greatly.     Amazing teaching and a rich atmosphere of success and belief was on tap for both of these exciting seminars.

“One Winter Conference, two Incredible Weekends!

We kicked off our Winter Conference on the West Coast in sunny Southern California. Special guest, Founders Executive Diamond Kevin Harris joined us all the way from South Africa to be our guest speaker. He shared some insightful teaching, honest experience, and glimpses of his sweet life back home! We also heard from other talented speakers throughout the weekend- Dave Dornan, Jim Janz, Mike Wilson, and more. Celebrating recognition, as always, was a blast and encouragement.

The next weekend we headed to Atlanta, GA for our East Coast Winter Conference. This weekend we had the pleasure of hearing from not only Kevin but his wife Tamsine as well. What an awesome couple! We learned so many practical, yet challenging, steps to grow our businesses. The weekend ended with a bang with Nancy Dornan speaking and Kevin and Tamsine sending us out with new goals and tools to use.

Can’t wait for Summer Conference!”

I’m a little late in posting this one guys…been having too much fun at all these WES’s around the world! This expert iReport comes all the way from Malaysia. Sounds like an incredible weekend full of strong teaching. There was a Gen Y segment at this weekend…maybe at the next I can do a Gen Awesome talk? Just a suggestion…

“We rounded of the year with a fantastic WLS in Kuala Lumpur, thanks in large part to all the speakers who graced the stage and the IBO’s who came from all parts of Malaysia and Singapore. Ray Keller was our international guest speaker and he blew everyone away with his wit, wisdom and inspirational stories. One of his topics, “Attitude dependent on circumstances” was extremely impactful. He was sharing how important it is, to not have your attitude be depicted by the circumstances you are in. Many came away commenting that was one of the key take aways from the weekend.

The stage was also shared by Diamond direct Nahu, Emerald direct Neo, Sazli, Joe Wong and Tan Ai Wyn. We had a special Gen Y segment via video feed from Peter Cox which was well received. Janil did a fantastic product talk on supplementation that was both informative and humorous. Everyone left happy and looking forward to the next WLS.”

Pretty inspiring- new silver producer at 70 years old. You are never too old to build this business! I don’t ever want to hear that excuse again

“Indonesia Weekend Seminar was held 7-9 March 2014 in Jakarta Tennis Stadium, also attended by many people from outside Jakarta who knows they do not want to miss learning from our Guest Speaker.
This time we have Anand & Vasantha, Diamond from India. They shared their inspiring story, valuable experience for many IBOs in Indonesia. They also made the Earlybird registrations go up.

For the recognition we have a 70 years old new Silver Producer…amazing…

Great events!!! 3 days of great sharing and learning experience for all of us, and finally we hope to give you more report on our next exciting WES Seminar.”

2 unprecedented weekends in Ukraine. Network TwentyOne ABOs and leaders are courageous- fear does not stop them in their business or from attending WES’s! I am so proud of and inspired by these guys…I’m getting emotional…don’t cry N21guy, keep it together!  

“We are happy to say we had truly amazing WES’s few days ago in Kiev! For a number of reasons these were outstanding events in the history of such seminars in Ukraine. First of all, we are all tremendously grateful to everyone who had the courage to participate in these WES’s. In particular, to our guest speakers Amgad Ghabriel (Australia) and David Vanderveen (California, USA). Not only their speeches were powerful, inspiring, motivating and teaching, but also their coming to Ukraine was great support to all Leaders & ABOs in Ukraine! For which everyone in N21 Ukraine expresses their deepest appreciation. It is hard to overrate this.
In this time N21 seminars are incredibly important – the fact that became obvious when the seminars were held. We were overwhelmed by general uplift of the participants, their will to invest even more in the business and thus help and serve their country to their best. Participants of both WES’s were delighted to see and listen to the speeches from the stage of Alexey Mautanov & Vera Archipova, Igor & Valeriya Kharatin, Taras & Irina Demkura – these certainly were some of the most powerful messages throughout the event. Made one feel that both Amway business and N21 team will come through any challenges…

To crown it all, these WES’s left one with the understanding that some really important transformations happened and great faith in the bright future of Amway business in Ukraine.”

Russia knows how to have a weekend seminar, check out all those incredible speakers! Wonder why I wasn’t asked to speak… Congrats to new Founders Diamonds, what an awesome accomplishment. Can’t wait to recognize more!

“Another unmissable sequence of Network TwentyOne events in Russia starting in February, ending in the end of March! An unbeatable combination of guest speakers – Justin and Lauren Stern for St. Petersburg, Simon Thompson, Sergey and Svetlana Apraksin and Galina Vashchenko for Yekaterinburg, Peter Merz with Alexander and Svetlana Samokhin for Omsk, Janos Demeter for Moscow, Irenke Nemeth and Per Mansson for Rostov-on-Don, Les Hetnal with Susanna and Genrikh Arutyunyan for Kazan. They gave absorbing speeches with thought-provoking delivery of the basic idea of Amway business and Network 21 system.

Weekend seminars resonated as strong as possible. Richly emotional and highly informative talks gave precious new feelings, the speakers approached the souls of the listeners and beholders with a rare degree of intelligence and experience, relishing each word in manner of a true Network21 Leader. A recognition of new young Founder Diamonds Konstantin and Olesya Zolochevsky added significance to events – they amazed with their endless energy, overflowing positive vibes and unflinching focus.”

Wow, what a weekend! Fantastic speakers, exciting recognition, helping others in need, and a Channel 21 launch! Whew, keep it up Hungary

“The latest Weekend Seminar in Hungary was in the early days of spring, in the well-known and popular Arena Hall in the town of Veszprém. As the weather was nice and sunny, so were the souls; we had a happy, well going experience. As usual, we had two guest speakers, a Diamond from the US, Mike Wilson, and another Diamond from Russia, Viecheslav Pitkievich.

Mike Wilson is a very smiley, cheerful man, who enraptured the audience and really made them enthusiastic. As he had his birthday during the seminar, we had the chance to celebrate him on the stage. Viecheslav Pitkievich is a young leader, who gave us his youth power in his speech. The audience enjoyed his humorous teaching.

This event we could celebrate a new Founders Platinum couple on stage. At this Weekend Seminar, the first time in Hungary, we introduced the Channel-21 Hungarian version. It was propagated through the whole event, explained, and everybody could try it, who bought a ticket to the next seminar – as they got a one month subscription free! Because of the Ukrainian crisis, we organized a donation in the name of Network of Caring cooperated with Red Cross. We could collect money, food and cleaning products for the needy. 

Another successful seminar to focus on to set your goals NOW!”

Hot off the press- a sizzling iReport from Turkey! Need a break from the Winter weather? Warm up with this encouraging update from Turkey. I’m sensing a trip in my future…

“We were in Antalya on March 08-09 for Turkish Weekend Seminar. Although it was still winter time the atmosphere was almost hot like the weather outside. The guest speakers, Founder Executive Diamond Kevin & Tamsine Harris from South Africa played a great role for this heat. All audience were repeating his Turkish words “HAREKETE GESH! – Take Action” in a great excitement on Sunday session. They were great!
The panel locked all people to the stage on Saturday evening, which took place first time at a WES in Turkey. People felt themselves at the stage with the panel participants while listening their interesting and even funny stories in this business.
Now, we are looking forward to getting together again at July WES in Istanbul this time. Be there!”

What an uplifting report from Vietnam. Excited for these IBOs and what they are a part of. Can’t wait to see more from them in the future!

“It might be the smallest Weekend Seminar in Network TwentyOne. But it still was full of excitement. Our IBOs are inexperience and hungered for knowledge. We really appreciate the contribution of overseas leaders who come from far away to help us building this business with a strong foundation.

Thanks to Double Diamond Simon Thompson & Diana Choo, together with Executive Diamond Mamie Jones, Founders Emerald Stephen Chin and all local leaders who spent time and efforts to share their experience and inspiration!

We found out that we need a positive environment to protect ourselves and our business as well.”

That’s right. I’ve got an exclusive sneak peek at the brand for the next WES. Well, I guess I kind of gave it away with the title, didn’t I?

Check out this short video here.

Get excited to see MOVE at your next weekend seminar! In your life and business, what does MOVE mean to you?

Next on my bucket list- go to 1 of 8 WES in India! I don’t know who I would rather learn from- Mike Wilson, Simon Thompson, or Ray Keller? Impossible to choose!

“The Convention for the month of April 2014 kicked off in 8 cities across India. Among the International Speakers we had the Diamond Direct Mike Wilson from USA, whose personal interaction mesmerized the Bangalore audience. Double Diamond Direct from Malaysia, Simon Thompson impressed the Delhi audience and Diamond Direct from USA, Ray Keller enthralled the Mumbai audience. Along with them we had an amazing line up of speakers from across India who added to flavor to the meet.

The Interaction between the Panel participants and the audience was vibrant. This was the first time a format like this was used at a convention organised by Network 21. Many people from the audience participated in the interactive discussion with the panel of Platinum’s present. The vibrancy of the interaction echoed among the participants and was very interesting.

As always the most exciting part of the convention was the recognition. It was amazing to celebrate the new achievers.”

Booking my ticket for their next WES. After reading this, I do not want to miss the next one!

“Getting ready for WES in Tallinn nobody could expect that it is going to go that way. IT WAS REAL BOOM OF EMOTIONS.
Friday was summarized by our Guest Speaker: Massimo Bini- Executive Diamond from Italy, who gave everyone just fantastic lesson of Amway Business Building and Management based on Network TwentyOne learning system. His three speeches at WES were just one great lesson for everyone starting from those who are 1st time at WES up to Diamonds and above.

Saturday end up with tears while listening to Olga Levashova- Diamond from Ukraine, who touched everyone’s hearts and ensured that to have bright future it is only your decision.

On Sunday, Mats Holmberg- Diamond from Finland, ended WES with great Kick of Motivation to really MOVE forward and achieve new levels at next WES. It could not be better speech for the end of Sunday session.

In addition to those three great speakers, we had speeches from local leaders, who assured that this market is in good hands and it is going to grow.

Event was unforgettable also thanks to extraordinary set up, that took the breath away of many leaders who had been at many WES’s before.

But now, we are looking forward to GO DIAMOND in Hungary and following it Free Enterprise in Finland, where all Scandinavia and Baltics leaders are coming together to celebrate FREEdom with Dave and Jules Dornan- Founder Diamonds from USA.”

Remind me next May to check out the WES in the US- I can learn from all my favorite speakers in one place!

“The East Coast of the US had an awesome WES in Atlanta, Georgia, May 16-18. The guest speaker was Diamond Staffan Ohlson. He is an excellent communicator and shared much wisdom and insight, in addition to his interesting story. We were lucky also to hear from David and Jules Dornan, Marg Hays, János Demeter, Andrew Mackay, Mike Wilson, Pete Matz, Jackie Lowe, Nancy Dornan, and a panel. Whew! Each leader teaches and inspires in unique ways, I know we gained considerable knowledge  from all of them and are very grateful for their willingness to share with us.

These are just two of the nuggets of wisdom shared that weekend!

Pete Matz:” Winners never quit. They adjust.”

Jules Dornan:” You can learn the hard way, or trust the leaders.”

On the West Coast, we had a conference in California May 30-June 1. Guest speaker Ali Ghannadan shared immeasurable vision, teaching, and experience. Mike Wilson kicked off the seminar Friday as only Mike can do! The weekend was full of inspiring, smart speakers who developed the theme for the weekend- MOVE. We thought about what moves us and where we need to move next in our business. A great motivation is what Jerry Webb said Friday night: ” We’re not saying it’s easy, we’re saying it’s worth it.”

In addition to our guest speaker Ali, we learned from Dave Dornan, Jerry and Sharyn Webb, Jim Elliott, and Jim Janz.  At both seminars we had the delight of celebrating new platinums! We had excellent Summer Conferences and are looking forward to our National Convention in September!”

When I heard about MOVE for the WES, I didn’t know it would include dancing! What a fun way to celebrate awesome achievements, keep it up you guys!

“On 21st and 22nd June Slovenes and Croats gathered in a small city Medvode for a big event. Expectations were high, but the experience was even better!  Our local leaders warmed up the audience before our guest speakers – Diamonds from South Africa Martin & Tracy Hutchins. Martin and Tracy inspired us with their wisdom, touched us with their simplicity and made us laugh already at the beginning with their Beauty and the Beast nicknames. We decided not to be on eithers side, but we agree that together they are fabulous.  After the first session they devote their special time to meet all new Leaders Club & above, new WES 20+ and VIP 5+ at the reception and take pictures with them. So many smiles, so many pictures, so many unforgettable moments!

Saturday evening was dreamy…Started with music and dancing.  What a feeling when the whole venue was dancing!  The absolute stars of the evening were new achievers, with two new Silver ABOs and one new Platinum on the top.  They have proved that our market is on the MOVE!

On Sunday we learned from fantastic local leaders. Yes, we have the privilege to listen to local Diamond Maja Zupet more often than the rest of Europe. And so we did, enjoyed and absorbed her boundless energy and business dedication once again. Priceless.

Thank you all for a wonderful WES, we are looking forward to feel this fantastic atmosphere at Central European Regional Conference in October again. We cannot wait to see what Sean Henderson had in mind when he promised that  ‘we gonna do something that has never been done ever before at one of your weekends.’  See you in October!”

A memorable and inspirational weekend in Ukraine! They know to put on a Weekend Seminar. Where was my invite for the VIP zone?

“Another great event has been just finished! What is special about this event? First of all, it was a united event for all the Ukrainian groups. Our Diamond ABOs Vladimir and Milana Samokhini proved during the opening that the people from all 25 regions of Ukraine were present in the room. They named each region individually and asked to stand up participants from that part of the country, which caused the general delight and inspiration. It’s so great to feel that people from every corner of Ukraine came to one place united by the idea of business and its values!

The event gathered all Ukrainian Key Leaders under one roof: more than 50 Emerald and Founder Emerald couples, 19 Diamond and Founder Diamond couples, 3 EDC and above couples, 3 Amway Founder Council. But a real gift for everyone was made by our Crowns and above: Igor and Valeria Kharatin, Taras and Irina Demkura, Aleksey Mautanov and Vera Arhipova. A special interview with Crowns and above was a real highlight of the Dream Night. Before we started the interview MC did a great introduction of each member of the couple and asked the audience to help to find the Crowns and above in the venue, who meanwhile were sitting right on the sectors among other people. During the interview our top Leaders talked about the lessons they learned in this business and shared the most memorable moments and funny stories.

Our special guests at the event were Katalin Lovas and Peter Mercz . They made brilliant talks, sharing their story and experience. Katalin Lovas who has never worked as an employee in her life shared her vision of how to successfully combine so many roles women should play and were to get energy for the balanced life.
We started the Sunday morning with the Blue Jeans meeting. Young participants of this event were invited to seat down in the VIP zone. I wish you could see those happy faces! To feel like a Diamond or Emerald – what can be a better motivation!”
