Against All

Odds

I graduated from Universiti Sains Malaysia
with big ambitions and dreams. I tried my
hand at various small businesses as I know
that only by having my own business can all
my dreams come true. My husband Fendy is
an electrical engineer who graduated from a
university in London.

In 2006, we became acquainted with
Emerald Rosli Mamat & Noraini Ibrahim.
I did not sign up then because Fendy did
not allow me to do so. However, after
getting to know them, I signed up in May
the same year without his knowledge.

After being in the business for a year, the
highest level I achieved was 3%. I was then
invited to a tudung-wearing demonstration at
my sponsor’s home. That was when I realised
the true potential of the AMWAY Business
Opportunity.

After reviewing the Sales & Marketing Plan, it
dawned on me that the business can help us
achieve all our dreams. Unfortunately, Fendy
still forbade me to do it. Nevertheless, I was
determined to build the business without his
knowledge.

When Fendy was transferred to Kuala
Lumpur for work, I had more freedom to do
the business. I continued to attend meetings
and run the business alone until it reached
15%. Once, he threw the car keys at me in
anger because I wanted to attend an AMWAY
meeting, yet I stood firm with my decision.

When we moved to Kuala Lumpur in early
2008, I faced challenges as I was far away
from my sponsor and had to deal with Fendy’s
negative reaction. I managed to convince him DIAMOND
to attend the 2008 National Convention and
what he experienced there opened his eyes. Shamsul Effendy Kamaruddin &
You see, Fendy loves our children very much
and he finally realised that the business is Normaliana Saedin
inheritable.
