Representative Success Stories
Presidential Ambassador
Chris Doyle
Chris Doyle believes the three F’s, faith, family and finances are the most important things in
his life. While he, and his wife, Judy, center their family on these principles, the Doyles still know what
it is like to experience hard times.
For 18 years, Chris owned a successful manufacturing business. The introduction of NAFTA caused
his company’s business to decline. Chris found himself going from a strong, positive cash flow to
tens of thousands of dollars in losses per month. After closing the doors to his manufacturing plant,
he could not find work for over two years and eventually took a job he absolutely hated.
Even though Doyle was named a Presidential Ambassador in 2006 and a member of FHTM’s Ring of Honor
in 2005, he admits he was skeptical about FHTM when his nephew, Bronson Doyle, attempted to get him
to attend a meeting.
“I stood him up three times before finally attending.” In 2002, Chris joined FHTM, making the
decision that would change his life.
Driven by his goal to be debt-free, Chris viewed FHTM as an option offering “low investment and
unlimited opportunity.” He now credits FHTM with helping him beat the depression brought on by
the decline of his previous business venture.
Doyle says he realizes he cannot make others want what he wants in terms of success. However,
he offers this advice to new Representatives: “Believe in yourself and never quit! Never get
financial advice from broke people!” This advice is serving Chris well, as his business continues
to thrive.
Joel McNinch
As a successful manager at a Fortune 100 company, Joel McNinch was miserable because he lacked
financial independence and the freedom to manage his time as he chose.
Then, in November 2004, Joel joined Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing, impressed by the generous
compensation plan and the security the business provides. “Working for Fortune is an opportunity
you can’t be downsized from,” he says.
Joel believes in helping other men and women succeed as they grow their business.
“There is something very rewarding about having an impact on the way people live,” he says.
Joel appreciates his own income, saying it “opens up options that you may never have considered.”
Joel would like to become a cash millionaire within the next few years and retire in the
President’s Pool by 2008, at the age of 35—a true success by any measure.
Mike Misenheimer
A self-proclaimed
goal-setting fanatic, Mike Misenheimer joined Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing purely
on faith. “I hadn’t even seen the business plan, but I believed in Paul Orberson, Ruel Morton and myself,” says Mike.
Using his business philosophy, “help others get what they want and you’ll get what you want,”
Mike’s dream has become a reality for himself, his wife, Brenda, daughter Bailey, and sons Drey
and Eli. They are now able to contribute more to their church, community and family than ever
before. By keeping his goals in focus, Mike has enjoyed true success through Fortune, including
being named to the 2006 Ring of Honor.
Ruel Morton
Ruel Morton epitomizes success. Born and raised in eastern Texas, he was brought up in a
lower/middle income household. Ruel says he never understood very much about business as a child,
because no one he was around knew much about it. Almost everyone in his blue-collar town, including
his father, worked for the local steel mill. There was little opportunity for personal or
professional growth and the town itself was incredibly dependent upon the steel mill.
About the time Ruel was leaving for college, the steel market crashed, causing all 5,000
employees of the local mill to lose their jobs. It was a devastating time for the town. The pain
and loss Ruel saw around him made him never want to work for someone else. He never wanted to be
reliant on another person or company just to put food on his own table. Because of this
determination, Ruel has become a huge success in the network marketing industry.
Intent on becoming his own boss, Ruel chose to major in business. “Business is finding an
unfulfilled need, and filling that need. Business is not a guy in a suit and tie behind a desk.
It is whatever we do every single day. You can own your own business and work for it.”
Ruel believes many Americans know how to make money for others, but not for themselves. Children
today are told to go to school, get good grades, begin a job, work the rest of their lives and
then hopefully retire someday with enough money. Ruel challenges that mentality. In his line of
thinking, it is not the responsibility of people to make success stories of others, but rather
of themselves.
Ruel is recognized for his success by other Representatives. Steve Jordan, who was sponsored by
Ruel said, “I truly owe any success that I have had to his coaching and knowledge of the business.
In my opinion, he is a master communicator. I have learned so much from him. He has been a true
inspiration to me and my team.” Because of his hard work and dedication to the field, Ruel was a
2005 inductee into the Ring of Honor and a 2006 Presidential Ambassador.
Todd Rowland
Todd and Ashley Rowland, from Florence,
South Carolina, cite their spiritual Christian walk and
family as the most important aspects of their lives. Through FHTM, they have been given the
opportunity to grow in both of these areas.
Before joining FHTM, Todd worked as a football coach for ten years, during which time he helped
lead a team to the 5A state championship in Arkansas. The salary of a football coach left the
family of five financially strapped, however, prompting them to join FHTM.
Todd and Ashley have met the goal they set when they first started their business in 2001.
“We have met our goal of replacing our annual coaching salary with our monthly salary in FHTM.
We now want to use FHTM to become completely financially independent.”
In addition to the financial gains this family has received through FHTM, they also enjoy the
freedom owning a business provides. Todd is able to set his own schedule while meeting new people
daily. He also enjoys the travel and the different experiences he has had while working the business.
When asked what advice he would offer a Representative just starting in the business, Todd answered,
“Set your goals and dreams high and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t achieve them.”
Todd’s hard work earned him a place in the 2004 Ring of Honor. He was also named a Presidential
Ambassador in 2006.
Ring of Honor
Gilbert Anderson
As the first person to open a Fortune
Hi-Tech Marketing business in Canada, Gilbert Anderson
knows the importance of building a good team. “You can never build a dynasty by yourself,” says
Gilbert, “but with the right team, you can do anything.”
Gilbert claims that it is his team that makes him successful. He enjoys working with committed
Representatives who are willing to set goals and work toward them. Though he is aware of the
sacrifices, Gilbert believes the right attitude, coupled with the ability to dream, will enable
others to succeed. “Fortune gives the average person like you and me a better chance at winning,”
he says.
Gilbert also believes in the power a positive attitude can have in business. “Your attitude is
everything,” he advises. “Change your attitude and I guarantee you will change your results.”
Today, Gilbert is proud to be part of such a strong team, striving for success with Fortune.
Jerry Brown
Jerry Brown’s business philosophy is simple. “Don’t just look for a superstar, be a superstar,”
he says. As a former military man and full time pastor, Jerry took a stab at network marketing
through another network marketing company before joining Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing.
Jerry finds that the teamwork available through Fortune, and the terrific product lines offered,
give him the sincere opportunity to succeed. His leadership skills help him to accomplish his
mission of helping others while gaining their respect and loyalty. To Fortune reps just starting
out, Jerry offers this advice: “the only way you can fail in this company is to quit.”
Bob Decant and JoAnne McMahon
Bob Decant and JoAnne McMahon are no strangers to working as a team. As the former owners of JCM
Builders, they chose Fortune Hi Tech Marketing for the leadership, vision and experience it offers.
“What I like best about Fortune is the flexibility to work at your own pace,” says JoAnne. “We are
both working toward the same goal, each with our own unique style.”
JoAnne credits the corporate staff for inspiring the duo. “Knowing we have them at the helm makes
me very comfortable,” she says. JoAnne and Bob feel very confident in their future, thanks to
their philosophy to see each job all the way through. They advise anyone just starting out to
follow the motto “failure is not an option!”
Steve Jordan
Steve Jordon and his wife, Shelly, believe the most important thing in life is family.
Through Fortune Hi Tech Marketing, Steve and Shelly have been able to realize their dream of
being full-time parents to their daughter, Shelby and twin sons Hunter and Parker.
“Fortune offers long term stability and a strong pay plan with unlimited potential,” explains Steve.
He finds the key to success through Fortune is quality product that Representatives can get behind.
“Our True Essentials line has changed the way I live my life,” says Steve. Steve believes anyone
can find success if they, “jump in the Fortune pool and swim like crazy.” As NSM, Ring of Honor
recipient, and a Platinum Lexus owner, Steve’s own success story is rock solid.
Terry and Sandi Walker
When Terry and Sandi Walker decided to join FHTM in 2004, they
never looked back. “We were tired
of working all the time, with no time for family,” says Terry. Because of the low start-up cost,
Terry and Sandi were able to start on the path to their dreams, despite having little money to
invest and no previous business experience.
Terry and Sandi possess a “can-do” attitude, and say failure is not an option. “We love helping
other people just like us…we will pour our heart and soul into their successes,” Terry says. The
Walkers are thankful for the opportunities brought to them by FHTM and they credit the vision of
Paul Orberson for helping to build the business and grow the company that has created financial
freedom for their family. To sum up, Terry says, “I believe we are in for the ride of a lifetime!”
Roger McKay
Since joining FHTM Canada in November, 2005, Roger has moved forward quickly. In February of 2008, Roger attained the level of National Sales Manager. Roger’s drive and dedication to his team move him steadily onward toward his goal of Presidential Ambassador. “That’s the Pool I want to play in!” he laughs. Roger’s positive attitude, persistence, faith and passion for FHTM has never steered him in the wrong direction. Helping people win is Roger’s goal. Listening to their hopes and dreams and helping them overcome obstacles along the way is what he enjoys most about working his FHTM business. “I want to add value to the lives of others. Fortune gives me the opportunity to add value to my family’s life and achieve my personal goals by helping others achieve theirs. I don’t know of a better business model than FHTM.”
Sheri Winter
Sheri saw FHTM as a business opportunity she could believe in. Her “you can do anything” attitude was perfect for this path to financial freedom. She carries that perspective through every aspect of her business; including team building. “I would like to have the most financially successful people in my downline that FHTM has ever had! Presidential Ambassador is what’s next for me!” She plans to reach this goal by helping other people be successful in her downline. With Sheri’s persistence, positive outlook, willingness to help anyone she knows and love for this business, she sees no limit to how high her business can grow. Her most important goal, however, is to fulfill the call God placed on her life in every area. Sheri now feels capable of doing that through the time freedom and financial freedom she has earned through her FHTM business. “Fortune is the vehicle that will allow me to ultimately fulfill my destiny.”
