What You Currently Do?

I am an attorney by training but currently the CEO of a real estate investment and management
company which I founded over a decade ago whilst pursing my MBA program.

Why you are doing 5Linx now?

Being an employee has never held much allure for me. This seed was planted early in life by my
beloved dad. I recall as a teenager asking my dad why he quit his government job to go into property
development. His prompt response was "to give you and your siblings the lifestyle you have and the
freedom that goes with independence." So early in life, I associated good lifestyle and freedom with
being an Entrepreneur. I followed closely in my dad's profession by founding my property investment
and management company. It is my belief that even the blind have seen and the deaf have heard what
has become of real estate in the last few years. While I was not yet actively looking for an alternative
business opportunity 5Linx was planted in my path. I started this business as an unwilling reluctant
participant and purely as a favor to someone very near and dear to me. Having begun the business
however, it did not take me long to fall in love with its concept after studying the business plan. Being a
full believer in servant leadership, the principles of 5Linx meshed with my ideas and principles with the
words, HELPING OTHERS splashed all over it – we help people to save money on products and services
they already use and help others to make money helping others to save money on products and services
they already use!

The other aspect I treasure with my 5Linx business is the freedom it affords me. Yes, I was already an
Entrepreneur but every time I left town (which I love to do frequently), I have to worry about my clients
and workers!!! Not so with 5Linx!! There is something called "Customer Services" for all the companies
we represent.
Did I mention residual income? Yes, that is a concept that needs to be introduced to our school
curriculum!!! With time on your hands and money in the bank the beaches of the world seem more
alluring. And what about being a blessing to others – 5Linx provides me the vehicle to be a blessing to
the people that I come upon on a daily basis.

What have your success’s been thus far?

I must say that I had instant success with my 5Linx business. In the first few weeks of being in the
business I had a comma in my check and made Executive Trainer (ET) position in 30 days, which meant
yet another big payment! The Executive Director (ED) position followed suit, but the National Director
(ND) position took its leisure time to arrive. Through the several months' journey to ND I stayed focused
on the target destination, bearing in mind a popular saying my parents always used, that, both the
runner and the walker end up at the same destination. I knew that as long as I stayed the course and did
not quit I will surely prevail. I am still on the course to the starting line of Senior Vice President Position
(SVP) – YES STARTING LINE! However, my greatest success is helping my team in whatever way I can
achieve success in this business.

My trip to ET & ED was a self development course while my journey to ND focused on developing
others! I never took my sight off nurturing and building my team and being the best example I could be.
I've diligently practiced what I teach the team and also been a sponge and insatiable learner. National
Conventions and Regional Events have been the bedrock of my training and development and I strongly
recommend them to anyone that desires to have a measure of success in this business. Of course
the weekly doses of team and leadership trainings under the leadership of PSVP Dwayne Johnson are
essential vitamins for continued sustained growth and development.

Since there are only two things we do in 5Linx, business-wise: acquiring customers and sponsoring
business partners, I've applied myself to both. I set my eyes on the 50 customer club and made the roll.
I am now on my way to the Century Club. I continue to share the blessing and opportunity called 5Linx
with everyone and the team continues to grow and blossom from South West Pennsylvania to Florida,
New York, Georgia, and Nigeria. I truly give God the glory for our successes. Of course this has not been
possible by only my effort so I give a huge shout out to the whole team and fantastic leadership in Phase
O.N.E. marketing. I've also enjoyed unparalleled support from my family which has made the business
even more fun. The other unsung thing we do in 5Linx is a journey in personal development. Working
my 5Linx business has expanded my vision and horizon beyond that which I ever dreamed up. It has
taken me on a coaster ride journey in dealing with people for as we often say – people will be people.
It has blessed me with a shift in mindset on wealth and wealth principles that no law school or business
school ever gave me. I have no doubt that with the shift in mindset that I now have I will achieve results
that others only dream about!

Finally, I want to say the most important part of this piece which is to give thanks, glory and honor to
God for his showers of blessings upon me and the team. His grace has led us this far and will surely see
us to our Diamond destination and beyond. Amen. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to share my
story and I hope that something said here will bless someone else.

Currently I work for a medical insurance claims company. I am the Resource contact for their Intake Department and I have been with the company for about 4 years now. I had also started back school to continue my education but it was put on hold because I recently had a baby.

Why you are doing 5Linx now?

I was introduced to 5linx by my husband Jamaine who is also currently in the business. My WHY for this is my family I would love to be able to leave my children wealth so that they do not have to struggle when they get to my age. Also one of my daughters has Cerebral Palsy and I would like to make sure that she does not want for anything and medical needs….are taken care of. I would also like to help people see that there’s another way to become financially free.

What have your success’s been thus far?

I got started in 5linx February 1st and already have become an Executive Trainer. My goal is to continue to on this path which should lead me to becoming an Executive Director the earlier part of March if not before.

I LIVE IN WESTON, FLORIDA. I WORK FOR THE BROWARD SHERIFF'S OFFICE AS A ROAD PATROL DEPUTY. I RECENTLY JUST TRANSFERED OUT OF K-9. I HAVE WORKED 25 YEARS IN FLORIDA AS A COP AND 12 YEARS IN NEW JERSEY. THERE WAS NO BREAK IN BETWEEN ONLY A WEEKEND.I MET NATIONAL DIRECTOR TOSCA CARROLL ONE DAY AND SHE  PIQUED MY INTEREST IN 5LINX AND CONTIUED TO DO SO SPRADICALLY FOR ABOUT A YEAR, DURING THAT YEAR I DID MY DUE DILIGENCE BY THROUGHLY INVESTIGATING THE BUSINESS RIGHT DOWN TO THE 'BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU.'

I STILL NEVER CAME OUT TO A BUSINESS MEETING! UPON HER FINALLY ASKING ME IF I WOULD MEET WITH THEN, SVP DWAYNE JOHNSON AT A STARBUCKS, I DID.MY FIRST QUESTION TO HIM WAS HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU MAKE, HE SHOWED ME! MY NEXT QUESTION WAS HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN THE BUSINESS, HE SAID 3 1/2 YEARS. AFTER CONVERSING WITH HIM FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES HE HAD VALIDATED EVERYTHING TOSCA HAD BEEN RELATING TO ME.

Why you are doing 5Linx now?

I WAS 55 YEARS OLD, I SAID TO MYSELF, IF I HADN'T ACCOMPLISHED EVERYTHING I WAS TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH BY AGE 55 WHEN WOULD IT EVER HAPPEN! I REALIZED I NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT, WHAT I WAS DOING WASN'T WORKING! I TOLD HIM, I'M IN!

SINCE THAT DAY IN OCTOBER 2009 MY LIFE HAS CHANGED IN SO MANY WAYS. FIRST OFF I NOW HAVE A PASSION, AND THAT IS TO FREE MYSELF FIANCIALLY AND TO HELP FREE OTHERS; FAMILY, FRIENDS AND THE PEOPLE I MEET, FROM THE  DRUGERY OF WORKING DECADES FROM PAY CHECK TO PAY CHECK ONLY TO RETIRE ON PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR IF THEY EVEN HAVE A PENSION!

What have your success’s been thus far?

SINCE THAT DAY I HAVE LEARNED A DIFFRENT WAY OF MAKING MONEY, A SMARTER WAY, ALMOST MAGICAL! I HAVE LEARNED MORE ABOUT MYSELF AND HAVE GROWN IN SOME MANY AREAS! SPEAKING IN FRONT OF A ROOM OF PEOPLE, INSPIRING PEOPLE, SHOWING PEOPLE A BETTER WAY! I CAN NOW TRULY HELP PEOPLE IN WAYS A REGULAR COP CANNOT! I HAVE REALIZED THAT TRUE FULFILLMENT IS NOT IN AQUIRING A LOT OF MONEY BUT WHEN YOU ARE ABLE TO REALLY HELP SOMEONE CHANGE THEIR LIFE....IT IS SO SATISFYING!

THE BOOKS I READ ARE DIFFERENT NOW, THE MUSIC I LISTEN TO HAS BEEN SUBSTITUTED FOR SELF-DEVELOPEMENT CD'S. MY CONVERSATION NOW HAS SUBSTANCE, MY THOUGHTS HAVE CHANGED, THE TOTAL TRANSFORMATION HAS BEEN REMARKABLE!

THE GREATEST OF THOSE CHANGES HAS BEEN MY NEW MIND-SET! THE LEAST THE MONEY!! EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN, AWESOME!!

I COULD WRITE A BOOK ON THE SELF-DEVELOPMENT, THE CONFIDENCE, THE HOPE OF A BRIGHTER FUTURE, THE FRIENDSHIPS, THE NEW LIFE, THE NEW ME! AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING!

MUCH THANKS GOES OUT TO SO MANY THAT HAS HELPED, SHOWED, INSPIRED, AND ENCOURAGED ME. I CAN'T NAME THEM ALL, BUT AT THE TOP OF THE LIST EQUALLY IS;    DWAYNE JOHNSON AND TOSCA CARROLL!   WOW! SUCH GREAT LEADERS AND STRICT TEACHERS ABOUT THIS BUSINESS!!!!    I LOVE THEM BOTH! AND I CAN'T FAIL TO MENTION MY LAW ENFORCEMENT BROTHER, SVP MARVIN SYKES WHO HAS ALSO ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME!!

I made a commitment in 5LINX to get my time back. I want to be available for my family around the clock not around my work schedule.  At the same time be financially set free.

What have your success’s been thus far?

I was able to achieve Executive Director in 29 days, by first submitting to God's will. When my sister Viola Foster presented this opportunity to me I was immediately on board. The 5LINX vision and principles were in line with my values.  It was a “No Brainer”, a “WIN-WIN” situation. We simply help people MAKE MONEY and help people SAVE MONEY.  How could I go wrong by helping people?  Through my excitement and enthusiasm, my team was just as excited.  They got on board.  We purchased the silver packages, continued to pique and duplicated our training for our upline.  Thank you for this opportunity.

Why you are doing 5Linx now?

My WHY for doing the business of 5Linx is my family. I truly believe my 2 sons deserve a father and not just a good provider. Furthermore, I believe in order to be a good father and husband I have to be known to my family as such. I cant do that while corporate America enslaves me. 5Linx to me is financial freedom and my time back with my family. I have priceless possessions at home and I want them to see me as such as well. I’m truly “sick and tired of being sick and tired” and seeing others suffer the same.

What have your success’s been thus far?

I have had the privilege of being promoted to National Director in 6 months (2 of which I was completely uncoachable)! This is great but, I’m going stir crazy because I am on a mission to make 3 more National Directors then ill deem it equal to partial success. But, my true success goes full circle back to my WHY. I have been able to expose individuals to a new mindset and a financial money train of generational wealth. More than that it has helped me achieve my true want! How so? My wife is doing the business of 5Linx with me. Furthermore, with added benefit it has not only brought us closer but now my brother, 2 of my sisters, the in-laws, and a host of cousins have embraced the business as well. As we all know making this business work automatically means time spent with business partners. Who better to have as 5Linx family than your fleshly family! Thanks 5Linx and thanks to Christopher White my ND (soon to be SVP) for his persistence in introducing me to this wonderful opportunity. Michigan better hold on to its pants!

I sincerely believe in the wisdom and  importance of having multiple streams of income  and has often shared this philosophy with my sons.  When the 5Linx opportunity was presented to me I recognized it as a blessing that I could take advantage of and share with my young men.

Key to Success:

The turning point in our run for SVP came when we became student of the system, dialed in to every conference calls, attended weekly meetings, super Saturdays, regional events, boot camp and international training events.  We believed in the opportunity, we were committed, we kept it simple, we became coachable and we developed a No Quitting Attitude.  Quitters Never Wins and Winners Never Quits…Stay the Course.  We stopped making excuses and took action.  You can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance and facing your fears to do so.

Why do You Do 5Linx Now?

My wife and I have been blessed with five children.  My family is my why and my biggest inspiration to do 5Linx.  Life circumstances beyond my control happened 5 years ago, which drastically ruined my financial empire.  Just at the lowest state of my financial downturn, 5Linx was miraculously introduced to me by a church member.  Right there, I saw an opportunity but there were other challenges.  We were already successful and have been accustomed to good living; therefore, I REFUSED to let life challenges and the economic downturn to change our course and destiny.

I want to be in a position to contribute and commit more resources to help others particularly war and disaster displaced individuals and communities through The Samaritan Disaster Foundation, a 501(c3) non-profit organization I started to fulfill this Ministry.

What have been your success's so far?:

Todate I have been succesful in sharing this awesome 5Linx opportunity with everyone that I am associated with and come in contact with.

I am able to keep  my team focused  and constant by using all the negatives from people as FUEL for building the business.

For the past 20 years I have been working in the Legal profession as a Paralegal.

Why you are doing 5linx now?
My "Why" for doing 5linx is because everyday I cross the threshold of my employers office and see someone else's name on the wall it becomes clearer and clearer (especially at raise and bonus time) that all I am doing is assisting those persons to continuously achieve THEIR dreams and goals. I owe it to myself and my family to be more than a "role player" on someone else's team. I have goals and dreams too, and I know my employer is not concerned about me or my family, no matter how much they pretend to be; and quite frankly as long as you are getting employee money you are surrendering control of your goals and dreams to that employer. You are placing them in a position to where you constantly are having to ask for permission to fulfill your purpose. Enough is Enough!

What have your success's been thus far?
I didn't quit. My first 30 days in this business I was on fire. I hit ET made some good money and was on my way to ED. My goal was to hit all of the pin levels just like the compensation plan outlines it. However, I did all that I wasn't supposed to do, except quit. I went into management mode and started blaming MY underachievement on my team...can anybody relate? But see I didn't quit. I stayed on the calls, went to the Regionals and Nationals attended BOMs and Super Saturdays. I stayed plugged in even when I wasn't recruiting and getting customers. Though discouraged at times and stagnant in my business I didn't quit, I wanted to but couldn't. Then it hit me. My problem was ME and my MINDSET. I started reading the right things, and listening to the right Cd's. This stuff started to give me hope that all I had to do is apply all of this knowledge I had gained through calls, BOM's, events and mentors...combine that with my "never quite" attitude and I could get back on track. And so, swift kicks in the butt calls from newly promoted SVP Okorie Ezieme and SVP Danny Lynem couldn't have come at a better time because I was re-energized and there went the story of me hitting ND!

I took a look at the 5LINX opportunity 10 months ago at the request of a cousin and one of my good childhood friends. Truthfully, I didn't put my full effort & sincerity into my business until a few months later when my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer; that was my turning point! After praying one night, I clearly knew that my initial goal in 5LINX was to get to the position of ND as quick as possible so that I could begin to generate another stream of income that was sufficient enough for me to give my wife the option of never having to punch another clock in her life again, unless she chose to do so. I buckled down, made her my first business partner, got on the trainings, worked the process, did the pbr's, attended the Nationals, and simply took seriously the advice and examples of those that had already achieved success in this business, and challenged my developing team to do the same as well. I also began using my upline SVP- mentor & friend Marvin Sykes as a case study, literally following him around (not stalking - lol) to learn as much as I possibly could. I studied the business opportunity presestation day and night (oftentimes through my tears as I thought about my wife and children), then I volunteered to begin presenting at our BOM my fourth month in the business, and have been doing it ever since.

Before network marketing, I was a college student working as a bank teller. Before 5linx, I was involved in a network marketing company in the telecom industry for about 4 years. Although I had some level of success, I decided to bring the talents and skills that I believe I had developped over the years to 5linx.

Why you are doing 5linx now?
I had gotten to a point where I had a reality check and I felt that the leadership and integrity of the organization I was a part of was not in allignment with the long term success I always wanted to build in my career in this industry. When I got started in 5linx, I humbled myself, became coachable and made a decision to committ to learning from the best of the best. I also committed to putting in the necessary effort and follow a simple, duplicable system.

What have your success's been thus far?
I attribute my success of becoming a National Director to my committment to using tools such as PBR DVD, THE PROCESS DVD, CUSTOMER ANALYSIS FORMS, TRACKING DOCUMENTS, WEBINARS, CONFERENCE CALLS, WEBSITES. I've also committed to utililizing events such as weekly B.O.M, Regionals and International Training Events as a platform to help my organization grow and succeed.

I've also committed to personal development and becoming a better person. One of my mentors once told me that "Your talent can take you where your character can't keep you". Growing as a person has helped me and can help you overcome fears and challenges on our way to success. My mentor PSVP Dwayne Johnson has been very instrumental in my development as a leader. He always thaught me that having a positive attitude, a burning desire to win, a strong work ethic, staying organized through a system and following THE PROCESS, are they key components of reaching the top and achieving our dreams.

A little over 2 years ago a friend of mine invited me to his birthday party.  I accepted his invitation and  he said, “Oh by the way, I’m going to be having a business opportunity thingy first, then we’ll eat, have cake and party.”  After seeing the presentation, I knew that “business thingy”  was not for me because I was too busy. I had a full time job, I had closed my salon and had clients coming to the house, I volunteered many hours with the youth group at church, AND I had a Cuban husband. However, because I was a property manager, I did see a way to maximize my property’s budget and save some money with the 5LInx product and services. My friend did his due diligence and followed up with me. Three weeks later I met with him, ND, Carlos Bauta and SVP, Dwayne Johnson. Right then and there I signed on the dotted line. It was around 2 in the afternoon, and before my head hit the pillow that night, I knew I had made an impulse buy,  but I wasn’t worried because they had assured me I could get my money back. That was exactly what I was going to do.

Why you are doing 5linx now?
The next day, just before I made the call to 5Linx, I received the call that changed my life. My father, who had been very successful in the automotive industry ( he owned several Shell gas stations, use car dealer ships and an auto part import and export business) called to ask me for money because he had not eaten in two days. You see, although he had had money and influence, all of that had been lost when he became ill and unemployable and had to depend on the federal government to take care of him. At that instant, I saw my future flash before my eyes. Because he is a very proud man, I knew it took everything he had to make that call. I knew that I did not want to ever have to make the same call to my girls. I knew that although I currently worked very hard and it took care of the bills; that it is all it did. What would happen if the same thing happened to me? What if I became ill? What if I lost my job? What if…? I knew at that moment I had to do something different if I wanted different results. Needless to say, I never made that call to 5Linx!

What have your success's been thus far?
Now, I am a National Director and I am well on my way to secure the future for my family. It has been an incredibly exciting, exhilarating, frustrating, and nerve wrecking emotional roller coaster ride. BUT I would ride it over and over again. 5LInx is not only changing the financial future for my family, it is changing my family and the way we look at life. I no longer worry about what the future may bring because I am building a business for myself, my husband, my girls and my parents.

Why you are doing 5linx now?
Well I live in Michigan and we have the highest rate of unemployment in the country. At this point, over half of Michigan residents have run out of hope. Plenty of them have lost their dignity when it comes to having or getting a job. I have been one of the lucky one's that has managed to survive in this tough economy. However, getting contracts to paint or remodel a home is even getting harder for me to find. Therefore, I went back to school to start working on my plan B and became a Certified Addiction Counselor. My next step was to receive a Master in Social Work because I like helping people and, it would be a great add on for my Builder License. Therefore, one day I was talking to Dwayne Johnson on the phone and we were just having a regular conversation and I just pop up and said "hey Dwayne"? I have to make some extra money on the side. Send me your website because I have not seen it yet. Now in the back of my mind I was saying, "Well, I can probably make one to three hundred dollars extra on the side here and there part-time." Not knowing that I could make more money than that. Now let me tell you all something, Dwayne Johnson is my cousin, and at this time, I thought he was making just enough to pay his bills with a little extra on the side. RIGHT..  So at this point, I did not want to kill his spirit by saying make a little money. So, I looked at the site and boy… I was surprised at what I have seen. I called him back and said, "Hey man, I thought yall only did them phones". He started laughing and then we both started to laugh!! After that, he told me that they were going to have their nationals in five days and I should come. So I told him that I am in school right now plus I have to do my mid terms this week. However, when I went home and watched the 5Linx video and they said, "You are not in the business unless you have attended a national event." After seeing that!! I order my flight ticket and flew down there within three days. What a life changing experience. When I went down there, I have met some wonderful people. Like, Marvin Sykes, Andrew Osakue, Daniel Lynem, Karen Wright III, Walna Calixte, Pastor Burnette and many more. What I like the most is each of them had their own story to tell and I utilize each one of them, which caused me to take off on FIRE and pursuit my new career at 5Linx…. Thanks Dwayne for over loading me with information and treating me like a business partner instead of a cousin because by you doing that, it made me work even harder and it strength my desire… Thanks cousin, It looks like we're working together again…LOL

I absolutely love what I do. I teach seventh and eighth graders at a private school in Miami.

Are you kidding? “I’m building my fortune part time,” like Jim Rohn so eloquently states, because I will NEVER, EVER, EVER become wealthy on my teacher’s salary. I want to be able to REALLY give back to my parents for the great sacrifices they made for me while I was growing up. I also want the freedom to continue to impact the lives of teens without having to clock in every day or having to deal with grading papers. Also, working side by side with Carlos is fun and exciting … I want the ability to spend as much of my time with him because every second God grants us together is precious.

What have your success's been thus far?
My success has been multi faceted since 5LInx has given me much more than just a business opportunity. This is truly “a personal development program with a compensation plan attached to it.” I have been gifted with the possibility to do things dear to my heart along with establishing the foundation for long-term financial freedom. Writing and editing are innate skills for me, and they’re activities I thoroughly enjoy. I have had the privilege to do both and serve our Phase O.N.E. team by collaborating on several projects with Dwayne!

If you analyze my 5Linx journey, it has not been one of meteoric accomplishment or fanfare.  I have worked diligently, quietly and mostly behind the scenes to build a strong organization. I helped build one position to ND with Carlos, and I have another that is only 3 IMR’s and points away from ND. In doing this, we have touched and impacted the lives of many people who are actively making their dreams come true. Most importantly, I have been an intrical part in rebuilding our own life by establishing a foundation that is allowing us to climb out of the abyss into which Carlos’ illness tossed us.
 It is easy to learn success from Dwayne if you listen to him and follow his lead.  My greatest success has been in the realm of the relationship I have forged with DJ and the other members of my 5Linx family.

What you currently do?
I am Jacqueline Richardson and I reside in Atlanta, GA.  As a business management consultant with multiple degrees focusing on MBA in Project Management and a Master’s in Industrial-Organizational Psychology.  By most standards, the field of consulting is considered a lucrative career with a 6-figure salary filled with wonderful perks with airlines and hotel chains.  But, between 2002 and 2009, I was laid off several times.  I decided that it was time for me to take control over my financial future and write my own script.  So, I searched the internet for business opportunities, found 5Linx, watched the 5Linx video and went on an internet search for a sponsor.

Why you are doing 5linx now?
I was not fortunate enough to have anyone recruiting me,  but I was determined to make changes in my life in which I would determine when I worked and with whom I worked with;  that is what 5Linx offers me.  I can’t lay me off.   I have been a business partner for 13 months.  I achieved the level of ET within a little over 2 weeks and 45 days into being a business partner; I got sick and was down for 5 months.  It was during this time of reflection; my ‘why’ was reshaped and fully developed.  It was then that my ‘why’ included-why 5Linx.

What have your success's been thus far?
It was two days before the September 2010 Vegas Nationals when I started back up and over again as an IMR.   I was determine to pick up where I left off and enjoy every day as a 5Linx business partner.  This platform allows me the opportunity to not only live my dream of continuing to build financial wealth, but walk shoulder to shoulder with so many who dream like I dream.  I love it and would not change one moment of my 5Linx experience.  

My dreams and my reality is becoming one of the same!

My name is Luisa Pages.  I am the Director of Forfeited Asset Accounts at The Bronx District Attorney's Office in New York City.  I have been employed there for 12 years and really enjoy what I do.  However, due to the current economic situation, the employees of the City of New York have not seen a salary increase in 3 years.  It's becoming increasing difficult as a single mom and sole provider of my family to make ends meet.

Why you are doing 5linx now?
I was introduced to 5linx by my cousin, Lisette Garcia, who explained to me that this would be the way out.  After briefly speaking with SVP Dwayne Johnson and then ND Marvin Sykes (currently SVP), I decided to start my own business.  The idea of being able to help my ailing mother and myself financially and spend more time doing what I want to do convinced me.  I decided I'd give 5linx a year to see what would happen.

What have your success's been thus far?
After only 9 months in the business, I've reached the position of ED.  5linx has given me the hope that things will get better.  I have something to look forward to and strive for.  I particularly enjoy meeting and introducing the business to new people.  My friends have noticed that I have become a more articulate and confident person.  I look forward to seeing my cousin reach the esteem position of SVP because I know I will be right behind her.

Why you are doing 5linx now?
You see.. I have lots of regrets so, I missed seeing my girls grow-up becuase I made sure to break the cycle of welfare in my family at joined the Army at 26 (from NYC- The mean street of the Bronx) I am determined to leave wealth for my two beautiful daughters Aquasia 21 and Deidra 14. So they will never have to worry like I did about their future.

What have your success's been thus far?
A mental shift! I want to tell the world you don't have to be broke any more, especially the world I knew- with no hope in site - just the cycle of welfare. I am a very determined woman and I will make SVP sooner than later... ( Goal is 6 months)

Why you are doing 5linx now?
The reason why I involved myself in 5linx is because I know that jobs are not secure any more. With being a senior in college I have seen many people before me graduate and not land the dream job they sought out to. Alot of people are afraid to leave school because they know it is an ugly world out there. I on the other hand am not afraid but better prepared and thats why I choose 5linx. 5linx is another opportunity for me to pursue just incase my life's goals do not go according to plan. With this opportunity I am able to earn what I am worth; all my life I have felt as though I was under paid or under appriciated for the work that I have done. With 5linx my efforts are well recognized, and my payouts will show the resaults of the hardwork I have done.I believe a place that pays what you are worth will beat an hourly job anyday. Another reason why I chose 5linx is because I have always been told that I think like a business man, so now is my opportunity to put that skill set to the test.

What have your success's been thus far?
So far with 5 linx I was able to achieve the position of ET and gain 24 points and counting in less then 30 days. My next mission is to hit ED in less then 60 days and I am on the right path to do so. I signed up the same night I saw the presentation and 2 days later I had 13 points with the exclusion of my own.

"If he eats, sleeps, and breathes like you, then you can have anything he has and more, the world is yours."- Dashon Jones

Daniel Lynem is definitely someone you want on your side. Not only was he a professional boxer who retired undefeated as the California State Champion, but he is also one to make sacrifices to help others succeed.

Daniel was raised by his grandparents and saw at a young age the sacrifices they made so he would have an opportunity to succeed. He said, "I was taught early on that nothing is free and nothing will come without hard work, dedication, commitment and sacrifice."

Prior to coming to 5LINX Daniel owned and operated a mortgage branch for a lending company. Luckily for him, just as the economy started its downturn and he was getting ready to close his branch, SVP and now mentor Dwayne Johnson approached him with the 5LINX opportunity. Like some people, he was a non believer and a skeptic, but Dwayne convinced him that 5LINX was the business to be in. But his troubles were not over. At one point his ENTIRE TEAM QUIT. But Dwayne simply told Daniel, "over time in this business, time will either promote someone, or expose someone as a non-believer."

Daniel stayed with the business because he believed in 5LINX. He believed this was his chance to make a better life for him, his wife and best friend Susie and their five children. He knew quitting was never an option because of them. He said, "I never quit. I may rest, but I never quit."

One thing Daniel prides himself on is watching people grow. Not only his personal family, but also within his 5LINX family. He truly believes he is helping to change lives every day and he is loving it. That is why you want Daniel Lynem on your side.

Why am I doing 5linx now?
The 5linx family inspired me as a business that is in ministry to help God's people, change their lives, while generating extra revenues for themselves, as well as my family and I. The fundamental principles on which 5linx was founded was the main driving force for me to be in it. The products are phenomenal and essential to various groups of people, who will utilize them, while saving and making money.

What has been my success so far?
At 5Linx I quickly reached the position of Executive Director in a short period of time, rapidly climbing from IMR to ED between the Las Vegas and the Fort Lauder dale conventions.
I am now heading to ND and ultimately all the way to diamond SVP.
I have had the opportunity to meet most of the frontiers and pioneers at 5linx, including the founders. These Men and Women of God are so humble and sociable even after having acquired so much wealth and having achieved so much success at 5Linx. They still give and volunteer their time for others. With this exposure, and the unmeasurable team support, the spirit and probability of success is limitless. I always realized the privilege and chance to prospect overseas markets through 5linx and my strong roots domestically and internationally and have been exploring expansion and growth globally. The time has now come to execute and finalize these processes and launch in full action and will be keeping you informed of all the progress and developments shortly.

Why am I doing 5linx now?
The reason why I chose to seek 5linx now was because I open up my eyes and I said I do not want to keep working a 9-5 job for the rest of my life. Even though I have a good job and I'm young, I feel that I need more. I want to be able to provide for my grandmother cause only thing she is making is social security and not just paying bills and putting food on the table. I want her to be able to live and travel and see the finer things in life. Living in Newark New Jersey is not what I call "Luxury," or "A Dream Come True". With all these layoffs and people being terminated from there jobs, my thought process needed to enhance a little more to find another source of income. Then I was introduce to 5linx by my fraternity brother and since then I never look back.

I was able to achieved Executive Trainer within my 30 days and I am on my way to Executive Director within 60.

Why am I doing 5linx now?
I am doing 5linx because it makes sense. Growing up I was exposed to a lot of great things and people but didn’t realize that I had to work for it. I thought I was entitled. I had a rude awakening later in life. I quickly learned that even though I had big extravagant dreams I had to add discipline and hard work to my creativity. So in college I decided to cultivate my love for artistic expression. My family didn’t agree with me initially and I lost a lot of support. So little by little I have been building my life into a masterpiece in spite of constant failure. God has been faithful to sustain my mind and ambition. Then this opportunity came along and moreover my friends were going to be down. They mean the world to me so even if it was bogus (which it is not) I was in. With faith I invested 250 into my life and hit the ground running. In my first 30days I was faced with many obstacles, but I attribute this small milestone to the strength, tenacity and coachable attitudes of my team. We are only reflections of those we help….  Eventually this opportunity will allow me to concentrate solely on my music and my family and eventually creating my own….. and I could use a new car lol

What has been my success so far?
I have reached ET in well under 30days and am only 5 points (from one of my IMRs) from hitting ED. My true success is in watching and helping my team recreate the same success and motivation and building a strong team. This business is forcing me out of my comfort zone and pushing me into a place of leadership and I don’t take it for granted.

I am a Financial Planner with a passion for helping people achieve their financial goals. I work with Asset & Resource Management Co. Ltd (ARM), Lagos Nigeria.

Why am I doing 5linx now?
Having spent 7 years helping people achieve their financial goals, I realized that the more I helped others, the farther away I got from achieving my goals. I have two lovely kids who are always asleep when I leave home at 6:00 am and 9:00pm when I return home. To ensure that they get the best in life, my wife resigned from paid employment to take care of the kids. This decision had put a strain on our finances.

Furthermore, in 2004, after my first degree and during my compulsory one year National Service, six of us formed a group (Save A Life Today – S.A.L.T House) to assist 42 orphans in Nassarawa State (Northern Part of Nigeria). We sacrificed so much and with contributions from friends, we raised about N250,000 and paid 1 year tuition, basic educational books and school wears for all 42. Today, we still get invites from the State Government to continue the work we started over 7 years ago; however, when we think of how much we need to take care of these kids today, we feel inadequate. To spend time with my kids, give them a rewarding future and help orphans are my “WHY’S”

I hear about 5LINX on Dec 13, 2010 at 1900hrs and within 15 minutes, I knew this was a unique opportunity for me. I enjoy speaking but never loved marketing. However, with the 5LINX opportunity, failure was not in the scheme of things as I embarked on a life-changing quest on Dec 14, 2010. By January 31, 2011, I had reached the ED leadership position and I hope to reach SVP by June 2011!!

About the  business terrain in Nigeria, Internet connectivity and bandwidth ,etc. I was eager & ready to go.

What has been my success so far?
I practically hit the ground running.  I made ET in 11 days, ED in 29 days and ND in 10 weeks! Had my 1st PBR 10 days after joining. Within 30 days I had organized 3 meetings with a total attendance of over 70 participants. People saw the opportunity & embraced it. I was amazed at the easy, smooth & upbeat support of my uplines in the US (Chioma, Danny & Dwayne). Always ready to lend a helping hand & mentor us. And its what I call "Duplication & Simplicity".

I was a person that had dreams of making a better living for my family and I. I had been working at Target part time while going to school full time and I still felt like I needed more. I decided to do 5linx because I grew tired of living paycheck to paycheck. I wanted more for me and a better life for my family.  It wasn’t until my best friend Marquise Littlejohn told me about this business and what opportunities it gave. Initially I thought it was too good to be true until I started doing my research on the business. So I decided to take a leap of faith and start this business.

What has been my success so far?
After just ten days of focused hard work I became ET and received my $750.00 bonus. I continued to stay focused and on my 45th I'm closer than ever to becoming an Executive Director to earn an additional $1000!

What's your current Profession?
I am currently an employee at Valley National Bank.

Why am I doing 5linx now?
The reason I started 5linx was because growing up in a single family home I saw the struggles of my mother. She did her best to provide for me and my siblings and did a great job.  A few years back she had to take a leave of absence from work because she had suffered a pinched nerve in her back. She wasn’t getting much money off disability and was forced to leave her job. She was stuck with bills so I tried my best to help her out and in the process creating debt for myself. After one month turned to two, then three, and eventually a year, we were behind on bills and things got hard. I just graduated from college and my goal was to be a NJ State Trooper but didn’t hear anything yet, so I needed something that would pay.

What has been my success so far?
I hit ET in 30 days receiving the 1st bonus of $1000 and now ED in 53 days receiving another $1000. I’m just  looking forward to the team growing together. The team has been producing and I realized early the more you help others on your team the easier it becomes, especially when everyone is motivated. I need this to work that’s not an option and that’s my motivation. There are a lot of people talking negative about this and how 5linx won’t work, but I know I found something that will be a blessing to me and my family.

What do I currently do?
I'm currently a Computer network engineer for a major financial institution, I also raise thoroughbred race horses and longhorn cattle here in Texas.

 Why am I doing 5linx now?
Even though I was having success in other business ventures I still worried about what would happen if I were taking out of the equation I.e could  no longer work. What would happen to my income, my family and our future.  I needed something that would continue without me.

What has been my success so far?
I continued to look for opportunities with no success, then I received a call from my cousin about 3yrs ago. He explained he had got involved with a dynamic telecommunications company called 5linx. Initially I was not very receptive as I have seen many multi-level marketing programs over the years and decided this is not for me. Then about a year ago my cousin contacted me again, and he stated that there were some exciting things that were coming soon that will totally change my life. I asked him if he was still involved with "that 5linx" company. My cousin said not only yes but he was now a National director. It still took me another 8 months to actually get involved. So thought to myself, he's been in this for a few years now and still making progress, this does not appear to be some " fly by night" company, and maybe I should take a look.

I joined 5linx in October 2010, I immediately begin to follow the Phase O.N.E "Process" with great success, I made Executive Trainer in less than 15 days, Executive Director in 40 days and I even helped my 19yr old daughter achieve Executive Trainer in her first 25 days.  With my cousins help, who by the way is now SVP Daniel Michael Lynem I have made every bonus available to me in the first 60 days. I have been Involved with 5linx for 105 days now, and I'm just a few Business partners away from becoming a National Director!
