Lawrence Tam

Who is Lawrence Tam?  A mechanical engineer by day and a marketing go-getter by night? That he is.  A dedicated father of 2, soon to be 3 in June?  That he is.  A devoted husband to the girl he first met in middle school, became high school sweethearts, and has been with for almost 19 of his 33 years?  That he is as well.

Lawrence was born and raised in Houston, Texas to parents who immigrated from Hong Kong in hopes of creating a better life for their family.  Not one to be considered a brainiac, he delve into sports, especially football.  Being the obedient son that he is, when he graduated high school, he joined the US Marines Corp Reserves since that is what his parents thought would set him apart from the other 30,000 students that apply to the University of Texas at Austin each year.  He was, surprisingly, medically discharged from the USMC Reserves due to being diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma.  He subsequently was accepted into the Engineering School at the University of Texas based solely upon his high school accolades.

 

He surrendered his life to the Lord’s plan for him, and what a plan that has turned out to be.  What started off as looking for ways to chip away at his financial responsibilities, has turned into a spring of financial independence for him and his family.  To live debt free was a far stretch with a normal 8-5 job.  Internet marketing has provided him a life with no mortgage, no car payments, ability for his wife to stay at home, all the kid’s college tuitions taken care of, and early retirement.

 

He was determined to succeed, despite all the obstacles that stood before him.  After working at his full-time day job, he came home to spend quality time with his kids before they went to bed.  Then, his alter-ego, LT the marketer, would kick in until he was exhausted from the non-stop action of a day, sleep for 5 hours, and then it starts all over again.  To go along with this rigorous schedule, his wife was not on board with this new endeavor at the start.  Instead of seeing it as the sacrificial act that it was, she saw it as a “project” that was taking time away from their alone time.  Thank goodness he had the insight to fight through all these hurdles.  His hope is to teach, inspire, and encourage his fellow marketing colleagues to rise above and grab ahold of everything this industry has to offer. So what is that? Being #1 in Empower Network doing it part time.

Kevin Tan

“I will do today what others won’t…so I can have tomorrow what other’s can’t.”

After seeing his father dedicate over 20 years to his company only to have it crumble with all his investments, Kevin made a promise to himself that he would find a better way to make income. Kevin started out in the industry as a college student looking for something more after graduation. That’s when he found network marketing.

As an engineering student, Ramen noodles was his staple food and prospecting at malls was nearly impossible due to his studies and job. He eventually migrated to the internet through a website domain opportunity that a friend introduced him to only to get lost in the process. Thinking it was only the opportunity that would make him money, Kevin joined dozens of prelaunch opportunities only to see them disappear.

After wasting hundreds of dollars, he was able to finally find a mentor who started laying the groundwork for his network marketing career. This allowed him to start generating leads and eventual business partners in multiple business ventures. Most importantly, he became a loyal student of the business and continues to build an organization of motivated individuals ready to make some noise in this industry.

He is the creator of MarketWithKevinTan.com and Dominate MLM Today

Frank Marino

Late 2009, he was struggling to keep my head above water as a musician. He was introduced to the Network Marketing Industry!

He never liked the idea of actually working for someone at minimum wage. Just can’t do it. “Do not get me wrong,” he said. “I am not lazy but just don’t get it.” But this opened his eyes to a new world! He struggled very hard in the beginning, doing everything he was taught but just couldn’t make it really work! He stumbled over MLSP and got introduced to the awesome world of Internet Marketing. With consistency, drive and taking action while learning from mentors, he was able to generate quality leads online and sponsor reps for his primary business while learning other ways to generate multiple streams of income! If you want to get rich then let money work for you right?

Being successful is like anything in life! You need to feel the pain and get really down and dirty in order to understand success. Success is not just making millions. Success is achieving something with hard work.

Having success in the Network Marketing / Internet Marketing Industry is like learning how to play the guitar. Keep on being consistent, learn from MENTORS that are where you want to be. Practice the skills you need to learn and go learn more. Apply this to anything in life and you will succeed!

Arzu Gosney


She was born in Istanbul, Turkey. After college, she worked for an Automative company in Turkey as a manufacturing resource planning (MRP) expert and realized how she liked programming and wanted to do more with it so she started looking at master programs. If she was going to do her masters degree she might as well get it done in a different country is what she decided. Although Arzu wanted to go to England at first (remember it is a lot closer to Turkey), a friend who lived in Richland, WA sent her application forms for Washington State University. Getting the acceptance, she came to the USA with a student visa. Fast forward through her getting married, moving to Tri-Cities, completing her masters and then PhD degree in Computer Science, and working for Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, having her daughter and son, she discovered Zumba fitness and fell in love with it.

After being selected as a Zumba Jammer, in order to sell her 3 hour choreography sessions to Zumba instructors, here she ended up being online and eventually landed on the network marketing arena. She was completely blown away with the knowledge, new techniques and the new possibilities that come with being a network marketer. Most importantly, she became a loyal student of an amazing mentor and started laying the groundwork for her network marketing career.

Her most important job title is being a wife to an amazing man and a mom and a step-mom to her kids.

Her second most amazing job is to be able to help others and share her background and knowledge in network marketing as well as fitness & health and eventually touch peoples careers, lives and hearts in the process.
