4 OUT OF OFFICE We re halfway through our seventh year, and I m still amazed each time I witness the amount of dedication and perseverance coming from the field. We want everyone to maintain the continued pace and keep building their business, because right now, we are on the verge of gaining serious momentum. Company sales continue to grow with each passing quarter, BMW qualifiers are happening at a breakneck pace, meeting and training attendance numbers have never been higher, and we are just beginning to rev up our engines. Because of all this, WorldVentures Reps are reaching ranks they once only dreamed of in record time. At corporate, we re dedicated to keeping you up to date as everyone achieves new ranks, that s why you will notice a few changes starting with this edition of Voyager. We re re-dedicating Voyager to WorldVentures Representatives who have done what it takes to get to the next level, and we ll share their inspirational stories with you in each issue. We believe one of the most effective ways to show WorldVentures really works is to reveal stories from the field, letting Reps share what it took to get them where they are, along with why they did it. Not everyone has to have the desire to be at Matt Morris level, or to be an IMD who earns thousands each week. You might just be looking for a way to earn a little extra income. At WorldVentures, we have the perfect opportunity for everyone, no matter your life goals. We often hear that one of the best parts about working your WorldVentures business is that you are your own boss, you get to set the bar. You can decide how much time to invest and the level of your drive. This allows you to enjoy the returns, whatever your motivation may be. In this issue, you ll hear from top earner Matt Morris personally. He speaks about his journey to attain the rank of IMD and what it means to his family and their future. Matt s story, along with many others in this issue, will inspire you to incorporate their success stories into your own life, so you can create a game plan to achieve your own desired level of success. Each Rep will disclose their struggles, their highlights over the years and show you how you, too, can impact others as you write your own story. Let s keep the conversation going Facebook.com/WorldVentures Twitter.com/WorldVentures YouTube.com/WorldVenturesTV We know you ll enjoy the new focus we have set for Voyager, and we hope to see your story in a future edition. I m happy to introduce this renewed focus on Reps advancements with you, and I hope you ll join me sharing others joy as we share yours. Many thanks for continuing to join us on this journey over the past years. We look forward to many more years of your company here as we strive to achieve our mission to bring more fun, freedom and fulfillment to your lives. Sincerely, LinkedIn.com/company/WorldVentures Gplus.to/WorldVentures Foursquare.com/WorldVentures Pinterest.com/WorldVentures Dan Stammen Chief Marketing Officer

6 CHECK-IN explore the MeDiterrANeAN A MOMENT CAUGHT IN TIME Known for its crystal blue-green waters, its historical and cultural monuments and exquisite cuisine, the landmarks that outline the water ways of the Mediterranean are nothing short of legendary. Relax on the beaches of these unique island inlets or take a leisurely stroll along the cobblestone roads lined with historical charm, rolling hills and farm land. Take a spin through the surrounding coastlines and you ll find Italy, Greece, Spain and France, the very countries that have helped build the culturally diverse landscape of the developed Western world. From the legendary Parthenon to the beaches of Cannes, you ll quickly realize, there is nothing ordinary about the 360-degree panorama that surrounds you. The best way to see the Mediterranean in all its glory is by water. Plan a cruise that departs the extraordinary port of Barcelona, known for its world-renowned architecture and contribution to the arts. Then experience stops along the way in Rome, Sicily and Palermo by day and nights aboard a luxury liner with a wide array of entertainment available on your floating resort. You ll get a true taste of all that lies within the waters of the Mediterranean Sea. DID YOU KNOW? Cyprus is the third-most populated island in the Mediterranean. WorldVentures has a strong and growing Rep base among Cypriots, thanks to the newest IMDs known as the Three Musketeers, brothers Savvas and Christos Christofi, along with longtime best friend Andreas Andreou. Their intense drive, coupled with a heartfelt desire to begin a journey to success, has brought them much recognition over recent months. They are an inspiration to Reps across the globe and we look forward to their continued success.

7 CHECK-IN UPCOMING EVENTS Don t miss the most exciting event of the year, when International Director of Training Marc Accetta dons his most powerful arsenal of characters, designed to educate and entertain you. A View from the Edge is edutainment at its finest, a combination of live theater and personal-development training. This three-day event starts with your walk down the red carpet and takes you on an emotional journey of lighthearted moments, intense revelations, as well as inspirational and uplifting realizations, all while remaining on a path toward personal growth. October 26 28: Dallas, Texas November 9 11: Nice, France is for training BY LORENZO ROYBAL REGIONAL MARKETING DIRECTOR AND REGIONAL TRAINER I got involved in WorldVentures when I was 19 years old as a freshman in college. I had never even heard of a business like this, and when it found me, it absolutely rocked my world. Four years later, I m 23 years old, and I am completely financially free as a Regional Marketing Director. I just purchased a 5 Series BMW using my WorldVentures earnings, and recently returned home from a DreamTrip. I ve enjoyed a great amount of success so far, and I get asked all the time, If you could do anything differently over the last four years, what would it be? My answer every single time is that I wouldn t have waited three months to attend my first training. The WorldVentures training system is helpful for what we do. When you plug in to our trainings (regional or national events, like A View from the Edge, Millionaire Boot Camp and Momentum), you will learn skills and techniques from our top earners that will help you with your business. In this business, trainings help you see what you really have your hands on. Not only do you get the nuts and bolts on how to build your business, but you also acquire the best asset you can have: belief. We don t know what we don t know, and at my first training, I learned there was a whole lot I didn t know. I haven t missed an event since that weekend, and I never will. So, here s my best piece of advice: Go to the next event. It will absolutely be worth it. Going to events complements your business, but taking people on your team will help you multiply your business. I don t know about you, but it was time for some multiplication in my life. See you at the next event! Make a living... Living! 7

8 FEATURE Why it Pays to take a Vacation by Zac Garver All the science in the world won t build you a better vacation, but if you re looking for a way to change the chemistry of your next travel cocktail, we can help, using some good, old-fashioned research. The idea of a vacation is pretty simple: Get out of town and have fun while you re at it. Don t think about work, don t worry about report cards or cutting the grass, and most of all, don t pay too much for your vacation. Right, you say, with a smirk. Don t pay too much for vacation? Isn t that like saying politicians always reach unanimous decisions on everything? We hear where you re coming from. It s true most vacations will eat up much of your hard-earned income, but let s take a break from the financial microcosm of your wallet and consider an economy of scale. (Hint: What you are about to read will provide you with ammunition to convince your boss that you need a vacation, even if that boss is you.) According to a study conducted by Harris Interactive, the rate at which Americans use their vacation time is downright dismal, About 57 percent of working Americans had unused vacation time at the end of 2011, and most of them left an average of 11 days on the table or nearly 70 percent of their allotted time off. Based on income data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, that percentage of unused vacation time translates into an estimated $34.3 billion saved by employers; however, further investigation reveals that this apparent boon to businesses is actually a net loss. Dr. Mel Borins indicates in his book Go Away, Just for the Health of It that for every dollar of vacation time left on the table, an employer will pay $7 to compensate for increased health care claims, absenteeism, worker burnout, crippled productivity and work force turnover. The global outlook on vacation usage is mixed, according to another survey by Harris Interactive. Although it may not come as a surprise, Asians propensity for overwork actually outpaces Americans (the Japanese fail to take nearly 55 percent of allotted vacation time and South Koreans left 30 percent of theirs untouched). And Europe is at the opposite end of the spectrum, with most European employees taking all but a few of their total vacation days. Setting aside stereotypes, there is a lesson to be learned, and it s a counterintuitive one at that: If the world s economy is shackled by costs related to underutilized vacation time, perhaps the road out of the global recession will be marked with more time spent dozing in beach chairs, instead of sleeping at a desk. So, to be fair, the fact remains that vacations do cost money, but at the end of the day, it costs you and everyone else more money not to take a vacation. That s where WorldVentures and the DreamTrips concept come in to play. Our company was founded on the belief that the trend of overworked, under-fun-ded living must come to an end. No longer held back by outdated concepts of what a vacation should cost and how much fun you can have, we re ushering in an enlightened era of travel. This brand-new territory belongs to you, the WorldVentures Reps and DreamTrips Members who enjoy top-dollar trip packages purchased at bottomdollar prices. It s time to spread the word and excitement to everyone in the world. We re on a mission to change the way people take vacations and how they pay for them! This isn t just about spending a few extra days on the beach; this is about changing people s lives, and ultimately, the global economy. 8 VOYAGER Volume 5, Issue 4

9 THE COACH S CORNER Recently, London hosted the 2012 Summer Olympic Games. I love the Olympics. I love seeing people compete at the highest levels. I love people displaying their national pride for their countries. Mostly, I love the thrill of victory for the gold-medal winners! There are so many lessons we can draw from the games: the importance of teamwork; the importance of dedication and determination; the importance of competing and believing that you can win. One of my favorite movies of all time is Miracle, which is about the U.S. hockey team competing against the mighty Russians and taking home the gold medal in 1980 at the Lake Placid, New York, games. I think that movie really shows us the true spirit of the games. It depicts a bunch of young men who come together as a team to achieve something they could never do alone (just like our business). It shows a tough coach who pushes them beyond where they believe they are capable of going (just like a great sponsor or upline does). It shows that a miracle can happen when you are crazy enough to believe anything is possible... even though it is against all odds (just like when people come from nowhere to become IMDs in our business). But it goes way beyond the movie Miracle. It is Jesse Owens winning all his gold medals in the Olympic Games in Germany. It is Nadia Comăneci scoring the first perfect 10 in women s gymnastics history and winning the gold medal. It is Eddie the Eagle from Canada competing in the ski jump, and coming in dead last, but enjoying the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to compete at the highest level. It is the Jamaican team winning a gold medal in the bobsled event. It is American Michael Phelps dominating his realm and winning an unprecedented eight gold medals in a single Olympic Games. It is Roger Bannister breaking the four-minute mile and changing the history of his sport. And on and on and on... It is the rising of the human spirit. It shows us what is possible with hard work and determination. It shows us what it is like to go for it! So many people are alive, but they are not living! They are in such a rut they cannot even remember a time in their lives they went for it. Let s reflect and learn from these games. Let s become as dedicated to our path as they are to theirs! Let s go for it... win or lose, let s go all in! Whitney Houston recorded a song called One Moment in Time to glorify the Olympic experience: Give me one moment in time when I m more than I thought I could be, when all of my dreams are a heartbeat away and the answers are all up to me. Let this be your one moment in time, where you fulfill the measure of your creation and become all that you were born to be! Let WorldVentures be your team. Help us become the gold medal winner that graces the cover of all the top business magazines and become the first billion-dollar travel company ever in the network marketing industry! This is our moment in time let s pull together and break every record in the history of our industry! Make a living... Living! 9

10 RECOGNITION ANDREAS ANDREOU & CHRISTOS & SAVVAS CHRISTOFI, IMDs At the time of writing this interview, the Three Musketeers Andreas Andreou and brothers Savvas and Christos Christofi (sac) were enjoying themselves in Fiji and preparing for Journey, taking place in Maui, Hawaii! Talking with them, we discovered how WorldVentures really did make their dreams come true 10 VOYAGER Volume 5, Issue 4

11 RECOGNITION Voyager: Who introduced you to WorldVentures, and what drove you to take on the opportunity presented to you? Andreas Andreou: One day a friend of mine called to introduce me to an opportunity. Always seeking something bigger in my life, I went to the meeting and then decided with Savvas and Christos to do this together. Savvas Christofi: We signed on to WorldVentures on Dec. 21, 2009, and I feel that we did so at the perfect moment! The investment amount was so small for a professional opportunity worth so much. Christos Christofi: Also, what convinced us to try WorldVentures was that, in the job we were at, we didn t have the lifestyle we wanted [all three of them were officers in the Cyprus army]. V: How has your life changed since then, and how would you describe what you are experiencing today? CC: I feel like I m living a second life on Earth! I don t have to wake up early anymore, I drive a brand-new car, we earn bonuses from the company all of these things changed our lives! AA: And for me, as well, everything has changed. We ve matured, discovered ourselves, made new friends and changed our lifestyles. We re living a dream life, something anyone would want, and we wish it upon them! SC: My life literally changed 180 degrees! I was working as a ranked officer in the Cyprus army, and now I m a professional tourist, enjoying holidays twice a month and traveling all over the world. Most recently, we managed to help our mother retire after 27 years of work. V: In the WorldVentures family, you re known as the Three Musketeers. How did this characterization come about? SC: The name actually came about after a big event around two years ago when we proved we were a strong team with a common purpose and vision, just like the Three Musketeers. V: Today, you are International Marketing Directors. Could you ever have imagined reaching so high when you first joined WorldVentures? AA: Of course, we envisioned it from the first day! For me, personally, I was so certain that from the first month I got a tattoo done saying IMD! CC: From the very first day we had a target to be the first IMDs outside the United States. Even though we couldn t predict the journey, we were still 100 percent sure about what we wanted to achieve. SC: For sure, leaving our jobs, but the biggest motive for me is my niece, little Eleni. Every day I dream that we are transforming the real world into something completely new and creating true leaders. CC: Our biggest dream is to help millions of people live the life they want with the help of WorldVentures! Our aim is to create as many millionaires as possible in Europe, but also to make the world a better place. V: What would you consider your greatest success? AA: Definitely becoming IMDs. SC: The fact that we became the first Reps to earn the rank of IMD outside the United States, which makes us very proud. Of course, we could have never reached this level if we didn t have so many smart, talented and better individuals than ourselves. That s why we re grateful every day. CC: Our biggest success was when we managed to once again build our team, which we had lost due to the harsh criticism we received from the media in Cyprus. In virtually one day, we practically lost our entire team, but we never gave up. We continued, and I think that s what brought us to success. V: Have you made plans for the future? Can you share some of them with us? SC: Even though I prefer to act than to speak, my personal goal is through WorldVentures, but also through my book (which will circulate soon) to help other people live the life they dream, to see them happy. CC: I want to travel all over the world and help people change their lives. That is what I now consider my duty in life! V: Finally, which DreamTrip has been your favorite so far, and which would you like to see become reality? AA: So far it was in Cancun, Mexico, but my dream holiday is Hawaii, where I will be at the end of July. SC: My dream holiday is the one which I am experiencing now, in Savasana in the Fiji Islands, and also in Cancun and Hawaii. I would really like to take a trip into space with friends from WorldVentures, something which I m 1,000 percent certain will happen! CC: I will agree that my favorite trip was to Cancun, Mexico; however, I would love to travel to the moon with WorldVentures, something which I m sure will happen soon, thanks to Wayne Nugent! V: What were your motives, your targets, your dreams at the time that enabled you to come so far? AA: The biggest motive was to leave our jobs and live the perfect life as millionaires! Our vision is to create the largest group of millionaires in the world! Make a living... Living! 11

12 RECOGNITION the culture of 12 VOYAGER Volume 5, Issue 4

13 RECOGNITION Chris & Rita Mayberry, IMDs BY CHANCELLOR PAGE Belief is the lifeblood of network marketing, and WorldVentures Reps have more conviction than you can shake a stick at. Take new International Marketing Directors Chris and Rita Mayberry, for instance. They ve inspired their team by underlining what it takes to really achieve their why : belief. You must believe in the industry, the company, and most importantly, yourself! Chris says. Your true ability to succeed comes with confidence, and you can t have confidence without belief! This isn t business jargon or cookie-cutter optimism. This is a bona fide call to action, so listen up. When you get people around the culture of the company, continues Chris, their belief level rises. Why is this important? Because belief is the subtext to success. It s why you get up in the morning, why you give back and why you build a family and a fortune. It answers the self-doubts and external skepticism, all the while reaffirming your relevance and place in the world. Through belief, you build your confidence and shape your destiny. Who wouldn t want to be on the receiving end of this advice, which actually is a philosophy about how to live? No wonder the Mayberrys have gone from startup to stardom in WorldVentures. Chris and Rita Mayberry are from the South, Tennessee and Mississippi, respectively, and their disposition and drive reflects their upbringing. Both came from modest, well-rounded backgrounds. Chris father was a minister and his mother stayed home and took care of the family. Rita was the youngest of five children and grew up in a one-parent household. My father died when I was 5 years old, says Rita, and I was left with my mother who did not even know how to drive. I can remember her hiring someone to teach her. A childhood without a father figure was difficult, but my mother s strength is where I learned my strength. She inspired me every day. Much like belief, the word inspire is particularly relevant to the Mayberrys mindset. When you are inspired by someone, you listen to them and you understand them. You see them clearly for who they are and what they do speaks to you. Rita s mother led by example, each day conveying to her children what it was like to be strong, independent and resourceful. My mother is my rock, Rita says. She was the oldest of 18 children (yes, I said 18), and she learned to cook at the age of 5. She came from a large cattle farm that milked more than 100 heads of cattle twice a day. Often, family lays the groundwork for strength, compassion and belief. Many of the principles we draw on each day were fostered first by family. And the good news for WorldVentures Reps is that they are now part of an extended family that values their intelligence, that demands only their best, that believes in them and wants them to accomplish their dreams. Teamwork will absolutely make the dream work, Rita says. And one of my biggest achievements has been seeing the people on my team walk the stage and achieve their goals. There is no other feeling like that. WorldVentures is a vehicle that can provide anyone an opportunity to create success and hope in their lives and the lives of others, Chris adds. The greatest impact has been the time freedom it has created for us and the opportunity to see the change in other people as a result of sharing this idea with others. In fact, time freedom was one of the reasons the Mayberrys joined WorldVentures in the first place. Their story is all too familiar. They were successful, true, but at the end of the day, work seemed to be all they had. For many people, hard work breeds success, but it also steals time: time from friends, time from family, time from really experiencing life and seeing the world. Swapping time for money will never allow you to create financial freedom! Chris says. Today, Chris and Rita are enjoying what fun, freedom and fulfillment is all about: the ability to comfortably spend time with friends and family at some of the most beautiful destinations on earth. But the Mayberrys didn t just happen upon success at WorldVentures they earned it. We waited about three months before plugging in to the trainings because we just didn t know what we didn t know, Rita says. Chris adds: Start building immediately and attend training early. You have to know where you re going, the price you are willing to pay to get there and stay focused until your goal is achieved. Today, because of their efforts and persistence, they are two of the most respected Reps in the company. Being selected as an International Trainer was a huge honor! Chris says. This is a select group chosen by our peers and the leadership of the company. It gives you the ability not only to change the lives of those on your team but those throughout the company all over the world. With every training and speaking engagement, every meeting and DreamTrip, Chris and Rita are expanding perspectives. They re not only promoting a culture of conviction, they re cultivating a culture of compassion, as well. We all have gaps in our lives, says Rita, but together, we can fill those gaps and achieve a lot! The Mayberrys are changing lives one dream at a time. Now that s something everyone can believe in. Make a living... Living! 13

14 RECOGNITION VISION QUEST JAMES LEE, IMD by Chancellor Page 14 VOYAGER Volume 5, Issue 4

15 RECOGNITION T here is more to James Lee than meets the eye. Singapore s very own International Marketing Director is gifted, no doubt about it. But there s something else about this natural-born leader that speaks to his achievements, something that complements his inimitable business acumen, his heartfelt desire to help build the dreams of friends and family, and his urge to motivate colleagues to lead the entrepreneurial Zeitgeist in Asia: James has vision. And vision, true vision that shapes lives and clears perspectives, cannot be bought or sold. You can t inherit it or find it in a book or receive it from a mentor or friend. You either have it or you don t. And the good news for WorldVentures, and the folks in Singapore, is that James is a visionary, bar none. Born and bred in Singapore, James is the eldest of two children. His mindset was forged early by the guidance and support of his parents. From the outset, James was encouraged to follow his dreams. My father gave me a lot of liberty to do things I wanted, he says. He told me not to give myself excuses. If I wanted something, I should go get it. He also taught me that there s a reason for everything. If you don t know something, go find out, he d say. Since I was young, my character has been to find out how to do things better. Better is a relative term. If you ve followed his rise to the top, you know that better for James does not line up with the status quo. Like everything he sets his mind to, he took better to a higher level. His colleagues are now the beneficiaries of his standard of excellence and rightfully so. His team is an extension of his vision of success. James chose to be part of a company with heart, because his is larger than life. Above everything else, James is a man of principle, and with good reason: He draws his strength from the love of his family. James is blessed with a wife, Maureen, and two children, Amanda and Aaron. They are his foundation and his motivation. They are his why. I want to give them a better life, James says. I want to be able to spend time with them, and at the same time, know that I can provide them with the best things in life. They are the reason I fight so hard. Things may not be rosy all the time; there are setbacks and difficult times, but knowing that a better life is waiting for us and being certain about that fact, really makes all the difference. He has already tapped in to the source of what has made WorldVentures great for so many people, year after year: freedom. Freedom is a fiction in many parts of the world. Opportunities for personal advancement are few and far between. Yet, with every outing and engagement, every training and public appearance, James inspires new prospects to sign up and follow their dreams. WorldVentures has literally given me freedom, he says. This is the best thing in my life right now. It not only allows you to gain both time and financial freedom, but it also helps like-minded people around you attain it as well. With this platform, I am able to bring hope to thousands and thousands of people who believe in their own dreams, leading the rest of Asia to reach greater heights with WorldVentures. Motivated by belief, by his devotion to his family and by the desire to show everyone he meets that they could live a life of their dreams, James has made impressive headway in Singapore. But, he ll admit, this is only the beginning. In a year, I want to help WorldVentures expand into two Asian markets. In five years, I d like to expand to at least five more markets in Asia and reach a member base of 100,000. How will he accomplish his goals? By remaining true to his team, staying positive, giving thanks and being persistent. I stay plugged in to positive energy all the time, he says. No one achieves anything without other people. We are who we are because of what others give us. Give thanks and show gratitude, and always remember the people who helped you along the way. James believes in people. And he believes that deep down, everyone wants the same thing from life. The best thing about this business is that it has what most people want in life, regardless of their backgrounds, cultures, race, religion, gender or age: travel seeing the world! Most people want to make enough to bring themselves and their loved ones to see the world. They know that to achieve what they want in life, they have to make enough money, save enough and then invest. However, many are not taking the plunge, and they stay in the comfort zone.

17 COVER STORY HOW MATT MORRIS WENT FROM ZERO TO HERO by Zac Garver Luck may be something bestowed on the few and fortunate, but success is earned by those with determination and vision. Just look at WorldVentures International Marketing Director Matt Morris, a man whose success belies his meager beginnings and early personality. Matt s commitment to WorldVentures is unmistakable, something borne out of an arduous journey that has blossomed into a labor of love. My childhood did not groom me at all for network marketing. In fact, it did the opposite, says Matt, referring to a string of tragedies beginning with his parents divorce, his father s imprisonment for murder, and culminating in his father s suicide when Matt was 13. An only child living with a single mother who juggled multiple jobs to pay her way through college, Matt was no stranger to food stamps or a free lunch pass. Alternatively, he found little solace in friends or school activities. I almost consciously didn t make friends because they would want to know about my life. I was so shy, I took a zero on a book report project in high school because I didn t want to get in front of the room and share the story. Shy and introverted, Matt still thirsted for competition, but struggled with the idea of a better future for himself. Where did I see myself at 25 or 30? I didn t. I was more concerned with getting through the moment. That is until he got involved in network marketing at age 18. I really believed money was hard to come by. I didn t realize there was a lot of wealth out there, and I certainly didn t think it was possible for me to attain it. Network marketing opened my mind to the possibilities for my life. Make a living... Living! 17

18 COVER STORY The top earners in the first company he joined inspired Matt to believe that wealth and success were within his reach, but his first endeavor as a direct sales representative left him holding a newfound vision and little else. After two dedicated years, he had three direct sponsorships, two of which he paid for out of pocket not exactly an ideal financial vehicle for a young man looking to alter his fortune. Nevertheless, Matt s belief in the power of direct sales took root, despite the setbacks, and he solidified one of his whys : the time and financial freedom to world-school his future children. I wanted the time and financial freedom to teach my kids history, not from a history book, but to take them to places in the world where history happened. For instance, learning Roman history from the floor of the Colosseum, or learning about French Impressionism by visiting the gardens in Giverny where Monet painted his famous water lilies. At the time of this interview, Matt s wife Rhonda was at French language summer camp with their oldest daughter, Zara, presumably prepping for just such a trip. However, back in those days, Matt was still years away from a lifestyle and income that could support his ambitions for his family. But ambition, like a sprouting seed, requires deliberate cultivation, and Matt was beginning to cultivate the mindset that would allow his ambition to reach its full potential. Becoming a millionaire was, by far, not the most difficult thing I ve done, he says. Believing that it could happen to me was the most difficult thing I ve done. Matt went on to assemble a network marketing company of his own, a venture that had the trappings of the success he craved, but in the end, became just a trap. I was stuck in the office 60, 70, 80 hours a week. I was burned-out, stressed-out and missing my little girl growing up. Then the recession hit and the walls began to close in. In debt, Matt gave WorldVentures a chance. The message of fun, freedom and fulfillment was a welcome change after years of striving against a lifestyle that had held him under water and left him gasping for freedom and a fresh source of income. THE ENTREPRENEUR WITHIN Although it would be easy to mistake network marketers for independent salespeople, Matt sees himself as an entrepreneur at heart. The biggest lesson is to get up when you ve been knocked down, he says. Everyone gets knocked down, is disappointed, has people quit the team, has dips in their business, but the whole key is to keep getting back up. And he did get back up, along with his best friend and teammate, Johnny Wimbrey. At the beckoning of Matt s longtime mentor, WorldVentures Chief Visionary Officer Wayne Nugent, both Matt and Johnny joined WorldVentures in 2009 to become top earners and fixtures on training stages around the world. A lot of times, people who are new in WorldVentures look at the top leaders and think that we must have some kind of dynamic personality that they don t, or that we didn t have to go through the struggles, but almost every leader in our company has; in some cases, it was before WorldVentures. By the time we got into WorldVentures, we had done a lot of personal development. We had a little bit of a jump on the game. Jump or no, Matt models what he teaches. A voracious reader with more than a thousand books in his personal library and a copious note-taker, he puts great stock in John C. Maxwell s Law of the Lid, i.e., your results will never surpass your level of leadership and personal growth. Reflecting on the transition to WorldVentures, Matt says, I chose WorldVentures because of the lifestyle. I really believe that to become wealthy, you ve got to have the time and the money. If someone just has the money, that doesn t mean they re wealthy if they don t also have the time to enjoy it. This is the crux of WorldVentures mission; the WorldVentures lifestyle is embodied by a richness of life that transcends money and time. Matt takes his role as an ambassador of this lifestyle very seriously. 18 VOYAGER Volume 5, Issue 4

19 COVER STORY I REALLY BELIEVE THAT TO BECOME WEALTHY, YOU VE GOT TO HAVE THE TIME AND THE MONEY. IF SOMEONE JUST HAS THE MONEY, THAT DOESN T MEAN THEY RE WEALTHY IF THEY DON T ALSO HAVE THE TIME TO ENJOY IT. Matt Morris A STEWARD OF DREAMS I feel that I m a steward of other people s dreams, he says. In a way, it s a heavy responsibility, and in another way it s very fulfilling. It s really rewarding that, because of my influence, simply sharing the opportunity with someone who shares it with someone else, a person can end up leading a life of fulfillment and that s our responsibility as leaders: to empower other people to go out and live their dreams. Although the dream of traveling to exotic locales has become a reality for Matt, his wife Rhonda and their daughters, Zara and Angelina, there was still a mountain to climb for Matt s mother, a mountain named Machu Picchu. My mom turned 60 years old last year. So for her 60th birthday, I told her, I ll take you anywhere in the world you want to go. Where do you want to go? What s your dream vacation? Her dream had always been to see Machu Picchu, in Peru, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. We stayed at the nicest hotels I could find, including the Sanctuary Lodge overlooking the ruins. That was amazingly fulfilling. We went whitewater rafting, mountain climbing and visited animal parks with llamas and alpacas. For Matt, it was the best vacation he d experienced with WorldVentures, and it served as a gesture of gratitude and respect for his mother. She raised me as a single mom and sacrificed a lot, he says. She gave me everything she could. That s why I have so much respect for single moms building this business, because I know how difficult it is. It was great to give back, and if it weren t for WorldVentures, none of that would have been possible. I wouldn t have had the time or the money. For a man whose annual income surpasses many Americans ; Matt is not only humble about his success, but you also get the sense he s dodged the pitfalls of greed and conceit, and is free to live life on his own terms. It s neat that after all these years of going after the network marketing business model, it s finally come to fruition that we have the residual income where we could literally go off the grid and move to Italy, France or Germany and we d still have way more passive income than what our expenses would require. You might well ask what keeps Matt from making such a move. Why does he continue working so hard? For Matt, an aspiring master in the art of living, as novelist James A. Michener defines it, he can hardly tell the difference between his work and his play. The way I look at WorldVentures, I m totally retired. And being in retirement, I only do things because I absolutely love to do them. So if I m going to a travel party or training, I m going because I want to do it and I love it, not because I have to. It s pretty simple, why does a professional football player, who has made $10 million over the last two years, keep playing football? Because he loves the game. I really love the game in WorldVentures; it s a passion for me. Make a living... Living! 19

20 COVER STORY CONGRATULATIONS to Matt and Rhonda for climbing the ranks again! Their second business, Aeriel Enterprises, reached National Marketing Director in May! A REWARDING COMBINATION As a man whose success has manifested from a constant journey of self-development, Matt breaks down the key difference between training and the practical application of knowledge (while giving a nod to one of his best-selling books, The Art and Science of Success ): I believe there is an art and science to success. The science involves personal development and learning the how-to s. If success were as simple as reading a manual on how to be a success, we would all be living our dream lives. But the science is only a third of the success. The remaining two thirds is the art, which can only be learned from doing. For instance, a lot of people get involved in WorldVentures, which in my mind, is the ultimate financial vehicle, and they ll work really hard and do the numbers, but they won t attend our trainings to get the knowledge and the skill. The skill is a multiplier to their success. There are also a lot of people who do personal development, listen to all the audios and come to all our trainings but still aren t producing results because they aren t willing to actually go out and do the work, which is a multiplier as well. The people I see become unstoppable are the ones who do a tremendous amount of personal development and a tremendous amount of practical application. It s combining the two that really makes you powerful. For Matt, the combination is one that applies across the board, regardless of country or personality. What I look for above all else is someone who has the willingness and desire to work, he says. No matter where you are in the world, if you have a burning desire and willingness to work, you ll achieve success. You ll figure out everything you need to. You ll do the personal development and the numbers. That could be seen as a stern admonition to buckle down and get serious one of the surest ways to miss out on the beauty of the WorldVentures business proposition. Instead, Matt recommends something far more appealing to veteran and novice Representatives alike: Focus on the fun, freedom and fulfillment. Sometimes people get involved and look at it as work. If you can look at what we do in WorldVentures as fun, freedom and fulfillment, then it won t feel like work. Matt plays a crucial role in the international expansion of the WorldVentures opportunity. I love building internationally, because it s such a diversified group. What s neat is that all over the world, people are people, and they really resonate with fun, freedom and fulfillment. No matter where we go, people are passionate about it. It s inspiring to see how many leaders have planted the WorldVentures flag in their market and helped grow that market. People like James Lee, an International Marketing Director in Singapore, went from Senior Rep to IMD quickly. I see us doing that all over the world. 20 VOYAGER Volume 5, Issue 4

21 COVER STORY GIVING HIS ALL A big piece of the fun, freedom and fulfillment message for Matt is the Manifest Foundation and its spin on the WorldVentures tagline. I love WorldVentures commitment to give back, Matt says. We ve got our tagline, Make a living Living! but what inspires people more than that is Make a living Giving! In life, it s not what we get that creates fulfillment; it s what we give that creates fulfillment. At the end of your day, at the end of your life, you re not going to remember how many yachts you ve jet-skied behind. It s going to be the contribution that you ve given to the world. Never one to shy away from an opportunity to lead by example, Matt committed to help lead the Manifest Foundation s voluntourism DreamTrip to the Kibera slum in Nairobi, Kenya. Kibera is one of the largest slums in Africa, and we re going to refurbish orphanages and install a raincatcher tech, so the kids will have clean drinking water. We ll also help them create a business out of that, so they can bottle and sell the water. We re going to volunteer at Feed the Children s abandoned baby center outside Nairobi, which I ve been to before. It was one of the highlight experiences of my life. Although DreamTrips offer great memories that people take with them I can promise you, because I ve experienced voluntourism before, the level of fulfillment you get from a voluntour is head and shoulders above anything you get from a vacation. Matt sees voluntourism as a major valueadded component of the WorldVentures experience, something that draws prospects in and motivates them to get involved. People will do more for a cause than they will for the money, he continues. The cause is important. It makes you appreciate the lifestyle we have. I think it even helps people in the business, when they see what other people have to go through just to survive. It makes it seem pretty easy for us to live our dreams compared to what some people have to do just to survive. Of course, Matt s understanding of basic survival goes deeper than most people s, though his hardships seem only to have strengthened his resolve. A living tribute to the rewards of perseverance and personal development, Matt remains a man in love with his work. I think a key to building the business is falling in love with WorldVentures, falling in love with what you do, falling in love with the people in your organization and giving them a reason to fall in love with you. When you love what you do, you never work another day in your life. For Matt Morris, there can be little doubt, as Michener would say: He simply pursues his vision of excellence at whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him, he s always doing both. Matt s love for life lived richly, not necessarily with money, is unmistakable. He has earned his place as WorldVentures top earner in more ways than one.

24 RECOGNITION Creating a venture, and I knew I wanted us to build this together. I was excited about an opportunity that allowed everyone to benefit from your success, working as a team. I knew the WorldVentures opportunity had everything I wanted fun, freedom and the ability to help others, coupled with the ability to make an attractive income. for Success Gail Spears & Bobby Cochran, Success4U Inc., NMDs by Michele Hurst It can be said, we live our lives with one goal in mind: creating a safety net for our later years, offering the opportunity to retire and travel. This was the goal Gail Spears and her business partner, Bobby Cochran, had in mind for their future, and it was on one busy mid-summer day in 2006 that fortune came to her door in the form of her 22-year-old nephew. As a corporate manager, I was extremely busy, Gail says. It didn t help that my 22-year-old nephew was the messenger. I thought, How could he show me how to make money? Once I saw the WorldVentures overview, I was all in. Bobby Cochran was the first person I contacted. We were very successful as partners in a prior business WorldVentures has been Gail s own personal adventure, much more than a mere journey. Working the business has allowed her more time with her family, time to travel, time to give back to herself and time to enjoy life to the fullest, all of which have been dreams that she and Bobby shared throughout their years of working to fulfill the dreams of others, in their jobs while working in corporate America. The philosophy that has taken Gail and Bobby to National Marketing Director comes from their willingness to do what it takes to get to the top. Ask yourself, Are you willing to commit? Gail says. Are you willing to be the pioneers of your team, any time, in unexposed areas? Remember, pioneers travel rough roads and through a lot of undesirable conditions, but the rewards are great if you forge forward, don t become diverted and never give up! The best part is that you are never alone you always have an army behind you and beside you. These were the questions both Gail and Bobby had to confront themselves, and their actions are the proof and the results are in their continued success. The best part of working WorldVentures is helping many team members across the United States hit their goals: traveling, driving new BMWs, paying off bills, receiving residual incomes, quitting their jobs and retiring, Gail continues. Assisting in these accomplishments motivates me to keep working my business. There s more joy in these successes than in my own. I believe that you epitomize success when you help others become successful. It s exciting and rewarding. I have always desired to be in a position to help people, and WorldVentures is my vehicle to accomplish this. Appropriately, the name of Gail and Bobby s team is Team Vision, named by Carlos Rogers, who was working the business with Gail s nephew when she was first introduced to WorldVentures. The phrase fully describes the scope of what they have collectively set as a goal: A vision that is on an unstoppable mission to achieve success for everyone. Team Vision has become a movement across the country and is gaining momentum, strength and visibility. It is about changing lives, allowing teammates to leave behind traditional jobs and live a lifestyle that includes more fun, freedom and fulfillment. When I say, My reality is better than my dreams, Gail says, I mean it literally. It s not a cliché and it s not hype. Gail and Bobby s recent achievement to National Marketing Director is a rank welldeserved and thoroughly relished, as they look forward to many more adventures and years of travel with their families, and as life continues to bring them even greater success. 24 VOYAGER Volume 5, Issue 4

25 RECOGNITION to the challenge soojay Devraj, NMD by chancellor Page Contrary to popular belief, adversity is benevolent. What else could compel you to draw from your talents and ingenuity, sidestepping obstacles to find the source of your strength? Simply put, adversity is cause for self-examination. One of WorldVentures newest National Marketing Directors, Soojay Devraj, found adversity early in life, but he persevered and discovered a renewed sense of self. Today, because of his efforts and vision, Soojay epitomizes the entrepreneurial spirit for Reps in South Africa and around the world. Soojay grew up in Durban, South Africa, home to the second-largest concentration of Indians in the world, outside of India. He was blessed with loving and devoted parents, but also faced obstacles of motivation and self-image as a teen. I had very low self-esteem and confidence because of my weight, Soojay says. I am who I am today because of my eldest brother, Venu, who picked me up and changed my life forever. Everybody needs a hero. Venu not only helped Soojay improve his physique, he also inspired him to follow his dreams. However, like many, Soojay found that following his dreams came with requisite hard knocks. He struggled through the stress of holding down a job, running two businesses and meeting the requirements of a demanding MBA program; but, to his credit, he never lost focus. I kept remembering what Venu told me, How badly do you want it? You can achieve whatever you want, no matter what other people say, if you believe in yourself and never quit. Taking Venu s words to heart, Soojay matriculated and directed his focus on WorldVentures. Introduced to the opportunity by International Marketing Director Matt Morris, he met Co-Founder and Chief Visionary Officer Wayne Nugent in 2009 when he visited headquarters and expressed his enthusiasm for the business. I told Wayne I was going to go wild with this thing, Soojay says. And he responded, We hear what you say, but we see better than we hear. I learned from Wayne to focus on results and allocate my time to those who deserve it, not those who want it. When Soojay applied himself to the business full time, he saw results and marked off his achievements one by one. WorldVentures is the only thing I do, and that s why I move so fast, he says. I knew once I qualified for the car bonus, it would open a flood gate for me. I got the car and then it only took me five months to get to NMD. As a result, he is the beneficiary of one of the best compensation plans in network marketing and considers himself financially free. Soojay s blessings extend well-beyond himself. He lives in Johannesburg with his wife, Cassandra, and their two daughters, Katana and Jayeshni. He also mentors a team of inspired Reps and is a leading example of how to attain success and financial freedom. If I want something, I go and get it, he says. I m a problem solver, and I have learned to adopt a never-say-die attitude. No one can tell me that something cannot be done; I ll just find a way to do it better. It s obvious from his determination and track record that Soojay has learned to get the better of adversity. We look forward to seeing him continue to rise to the challenge. Soojay and Cassandra Devraj Make a living... Living! 25

I have a much deeper connection with myself and the people around me. Every day, I get to help people make their dreams come true. There are no words that can describe that feeling. Keith Brown IL, USA My why now is not about me it s about the people on my team who still have to get up and work a job that they hate, a job that keeps them away from their families. They re doing things in life that they have to do instead of doing what they want to do. My why is to help them get whatever it is they want out of WorldVentures. MArKetiNG Directors Koula Roussou & Andreas Andreou CY For the first eight months we didn t do anything. After a DreamTrip to Cancun and UNITED! 2011 in Las Vegas, we became Senior Reps, and then we became Directors, and now we are Marketing Directors. If you are new to WorldVentures, you made the best decision of your life. Just do it! Kim & Greg Boyko WA, USA Our favorite part about this company is the people. WorldVentures is incredibly magnetic, in terms of the caliber and quality of people it attracts. We love the relationships and memories that we have created and we look forward to many more. Steve Burgason IA, USA We love what we do, and actually got into WorldVentures simply for the savings in travel, which is reason enough to join. As we shared the concept with others, I realized that not only is travel an inherent yes with people, but almost everyone I know is interested in saving money when it comes to traveling. Our team started growing, and we realized that we had another income stream building with the potential of changing lives. Akil Cooper WI, USA The best part of WorldVentures so far is having my closest friends come on board and later tell me how much more alive they feel, how much better their relationships are, and that they are thankful I shared this with them. I love watching people win in life and doing something awesome for themselves. Sharon Economides ZA Jill Goris MN, USA My why has evolved over the course of the past three and a half years. Initially, because I had tasted financial freedom prior to my personal losses, I desired to gain financial freedom back. The second year, as I realized financial freedom was accomplishable, my why shifted to gaining time freedom. Richie & Stephanie Hughes TN, USA Of course, we have had challenges. We wish we had more time to devote to WorldVentures. We have enjoyed a level of success with the limited time we have spent, but we know at some point, we will be able to continue to build this team into something very special.

31 have. I wanted out of the rat race and was tired of switching time with money. The way I ve done this is by showing the opportunity to everyone I know and their friends. Never give up and be here in one year. My best advice to anyone starting is that they have to try the DreamTrips product and then share their experience with their friends. Michael Jex NY, USA Chad & Jessie Shipman IA, USA Predrag Terzin UK Wendy Ellis IL, USA George Georgiou & Avgi Loizou CY Chew Heok Huang SG I know this business works, so nothing will stop me from achieving more with this company. Jason & Raquel Motley IL, USA The close family and friends who we thought would be super-excited about this amazing concept not only were not excited, but some were extremely negative. We overcame this by believing this could be the answer to our dreams and by not buying into the opinions of the naysayers. Gilberto & Elaine Jordao NY, USA For you to be successful in WorldVentures, you need these three pieces of the puzzle: 1. Believe in the industry. 2. Believe in WorldVentures. 3. Most importantly, believe in yourself. Spyroula Karagiorgi & Andreas Marios Karseras CY Keith & Karon Vaughn MS, USA Work on personal development, read books and study the people already having success. One of the best books I ve read is ʻThe Strangest Secret ; it s small, but very powerful. And lastly, plug into WorldVentures training. You never know, one tidbit of information could be what catapults your team. Plug in, stay in, never quit, ride the rollercoaster in the front seat and hang on. Never give up on your dreams! Directors Giovanni Acosta NY, USA When I saw WV, I didn t understand the opportunity. But my brother encouraged me to join, and it was the best decision I ve ever made. Edgar Huang Wei SG Shawn Jaeger and family NE, USA The best thing that this company has created for me was a chance to reconnect with my 18-year-old son, Gage. WorldVentures has allowed us to work together on a project toward a common goal.

33 RECOGNITION MArKetiNG Directors Abigail Aho SC, USA Dennis Bay SG In most network marketing companies, you have to focus on the 3 S s method Sales, Sponsor, Service. In WorldVentures, we focus on the 3 R s instead Recruit, Retain, Replicate! Commit to a long-term business plan; set clear short-, midand long-term goals; and a clear daily massive action plan, otherwise you will fall into the give-up-too-early trap. You never know when the next no will lead to your next yes and the ace comes into your team. Hold on to your beach chairs, the Asian Tsunami is coming to your shores! Dave Biddison UT, USA I want to fall in love with every aspect of my life again! With myself, my wife, my kids, my physical state, my spiritual state, my emotional state, my financial state. When the economy took everything I had, it really took its toll. WorldVentures has given me that spark again, that we can have everything we ever wanted and then some. Losing myself in helping others has brought a fulfillment I never knew existed. Helping others fulfill their dreams has brought a love for my life that feels complete more than ever before. Savvas Christofi** CY I thank God every day that I was given this amazing gift, and I want to thank Wayne, Mike and all of the tremendous leaders in this company who make this so easy for me and my team to Make a living Living! Zach Edwards CA, USA I want to be the role model that my parents have been for my future children, where I can be involved in their lives as much as my parents were. I can t think of anything in my childhood that was important where I didn t have them in the audience cheering me on as well as being my goto for assistance on everything. Had I continued as an engineer, I would have had to outsource the development of my children and would have had to miss all major sporting events, etc., and I refused to let that happen. Ryan Hale TN, USA It was at A View from the Edge in 2010 when I decided that I was going to do what it takes (whatever it takes), and I got serious about this thing. I just made a decision, got focused and committed to staying on the line no matter what. There is no other vehicle on the planet that could give me the kind of lifestyle I wanted the freedom to choose, the freedom to live other than WorldVentures, and it was time to stop playing with it and just get it done! I believe that when you decide something, life puts things in your path to test you and it s only through passing those tests where you earn the right to have what you set out to get. who believes in you to speak positive words and encouragement about you is huge! Johnny Wimbrey did that for us early this year, and he didn t even realize how much it changed everything for us. David Helgeson MN, USA Jonathan & Julie Henderson SC, USA You cannot achieve this level without an awesome team. You cannot do this alone, no matter how good you are!

Because of our past selling experience, we were introduced to the business-to-business aspect of the company. We were both really excited because we love to vacation and travel together, and we couldn t believe we could be involved in a business that revolved around one of our favorite things. We started slowly while we got our feet wet and figured out what we needed to do in order to be successful. Douglas V. Jackson MN, USA I m a family man, former housepainter, serial entrepreneur and a jail minister who is very grateful for my life and opportunities. Today, my why is about helping others get financially set, to see the world with loved ones and friends, and to promote and support evangelistic ministry.

36 RECOGNITION by Michele Hurst For many WorldVentures Reps, the preparation for Millionaire Boot Camp in Overland Park, Kansas, started immediately following UNITED! 2012 in Las Vegas. More than 4,000 Reps were looking forward to the energy and enthusiasm of training with incredible leaders and top-income earners, but it was the Wheels Club qualifiers who turned the journey to MBC into an event to remember through the Repsponsored Silver Bimmer Bash. In celebration of the Wings & Wheels promotion, Reps from across the United States drove their newly acquired BMWs in a mile-long convoy that converged upon the Overland Park Convention Center, the epicenter of the weekend s event, to raise money for the Manifest Foundation. WorldVentures Rep Bob Schick played a major role in coordinating and organizing the fundraiser. The RAT Pack team collectively raised the largest amount, $7,600, for the Manifest Foundation. And together, Reps raised more than $37,000 from donations and presented the check to the Manifest Foundation on Sunday, July 15, the last day of the training event. So many Representatives changed their travel plans and decided to drive to Kansas once word got out that a fundraiser was being organized by Reps to benefit Manifest, Schick says. Everyone wanted to do their part to help an organization that helps so many. Teams drove in from as far as California and others from as near as Colorado. Thursday night the group of BMW owners met up at the Community America Ballpark in Kansas for a car wash and tailgate party, which came complete with a DJ and dancing. We left Wednesday night so we could arrive early Thursday morning rested for the tailgate party, says WorldVentures Rep Terri Safford of Austin, Texas. The excitement I felt being a participant in the Silver Bimmer Bash parade was over the top. I was so full of pride to be part of this amazing company that is doing great things to help people change their lives, providing a way for us all to give back. The thrill of a five-hour road trip with a dozen other BMWs can t be replicated on a plane ride, says Hodomaniacs team members Nicole and Brian Happel. The bonding and the stories created were incredible. We chose to drive our BMW to Kansas to support Manifest and to show everyone that we have the most incredible company out there! WorldVentures is proud to have Reps around the globe eager to offer their time to help raise donations, allowing the Manifest Foundation to build schools in impoverished Guatemalan villages, provide clean water solutions, and equip Liberian women with vocational training and business grants. Thanks to everyone for putting this event together, allowing Reps to share their excitement and pride in WorldVentures. This is just the beginning. 36 VOYAGER Volume 5, Issue 4
