Given direct advice from his physician, Wes jumpstarted his life by changing almost everything about

hat does it mean to

take a leap of faith?
To walk blindly into the
unknown, armed with nothing
more than an idea, a goal and a
prayer? David Townsend could
tell you a little bit about taking
the road less traveled and, in the
end, defying all expectations.
A LEAP OF FAITH
At age 19, David was a broke college student living in
Denver with no special talent and no future to speak of.
I was in school because thats what I was supposed to
do if I wanted to be successful, he says. At least, thats
what everyone told me.
But David had an open mind and the desire to live a life
full of fun, freedom and fulfillment. Thats why when
he learned about WorldVentures, he saw a future for
himself, and he pursued it. It all started when he was
invited to a travel party. The WorldVentures approach
to life got the wheels in Davids brain turning, and he
was never the same.
I had wanted freedom from an early age, he says. I
was watching a lot of young people graduate and get

stuck in jobs they didnt love. That was crazy to me! I was not excited to
follow that path. So when I learned about WorldVentures, I saw a way out.
David was also excited about adopting a travel lifestyle. Travel had always
been his passion, and the idea that he might spend his life traveling the world
was a tempting prospect. I couldnt believe I could be my own boss and run
my own international business from my cell phone from any beach in the
world, he says. I decided then that this was for me. And I ran with it.
THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE

With no money, few prospects and little support, David was making, what
looked to many, a risky decision. Every one of his best friends said no to his
business pitch. People close to him didnt see the potential. But David felt a
spiritual pull to keep going.
All the best things in my life have come from decisions I made when I
felt the Lord guiding me, he shares. They might not have made any
logical sense but, then, neither does the success Ive had over the past
seven years.
The decision to join WorldVentures ended up shaping Davids entire life. He
didnt know how, or even why, but WorldVentures was where he belonged.
He took a leap of faith, and his life was never the same.

WITH MICHAEL JEX, IMD
/// BY ZAC GARVER
YOU NEVER KNOW

WHEN DESTINY
WILL CALL. FOR
MICHAEL JEX, IT
WAS 5:30 IN THE
MORNING.
Michael Jex watched
a WorldVentures
presentation for
three hours laptop propped open on his bed, bleary and
exhausted after a long night spent recording music at a local
studio. Seven months later, he hit Senior Rep. Seven months
after that, he hit Director. Then, something shifted. Just 23
months into his WorldVentures career, Michael vaulted
to International Marketing Director (IMD).
What made Michael say yes to WorldVentures? And

what sort of shift could propel him through the final
four ranks of WorldVentures so quickly?
For that, you have to start with a younger Michael
Jex, who grew up in East New York, Brooklyn, where
he wrestled with a future that held no promise and
offered little chance for escape.
MICHAEL &
FRANCHESCA
WITH THEIR
Michaels parents divorced when he was in junior high;

nonetheless, his relationships with them remained strong.
CHILDREN,
KHLOE & KOBE
Michael maintained decent grades until high school,

when newfound independence and the allure of the urban
lifestyle became too strong to resist.
He started hanging with the wrong crowd, skipping
school and walking a path of destruction. His passion for
music production was one of his few remaining guides,
and it proved to be a critical stepping stone to his
eventual success.
During this time, a voice in the back of Michaels mind
was telling him that his life could be, should be, different.
A greater purpose was calling his name. As a matter of
fact, the greater purpose eventually called his cell phone
and left a voicemail.
Despite his challenges in high school, Michael landed
a steady job working for the construction company
commissioned to build the transportation hub beneath
the World Trade Center Plaza in Lower Manhattan. Three
years later, the Port Authority canceled the contract due
to a budget dispute, and Michael was given two weeks
notice and his final paycheck. Hundreds of employees
were laid off virtually in an instant.

THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
michael
Michael made a promise to himself. I never

wanted to be in that situation again, where
I did nothing wrong and my finances were
taken from me because of something else,
another entity that I had no control over.
A year and a half later, a voicemail from a
friend came out of the blue. And changed
everything. Listening to it when he reached
home around 5:30 a.m., it went something
like this: Hey, Michael. Check this out. Ive
been working on something for a couple of
days, I think youre going to like it. Check out
my website and let me know what you think.
Intrigued, Michael popped open his laptop,
entered the web address and heard the voice
of Jefferson Santos.
He pressed play again. And again. Over and

over for three hours. Michael called Jefferson
back. A week later Jefferson took Michael to
meet Ed Blunt, and in that meeting, destiny
closed the deal on Michael Jex. He used his
unemployment check to pay the sign-up fees
and the game was on!
Michael spent much of the next six months

under Eds mentorship, and it was less about
the business and more about what was going
on in Michaels head.
I was more addicted to getting that

personal development and learning how to
become a better person, and believing that
would help me achieve financial success
more than anything else.
At 26 years old, with a young family to
support, Michael needed WorldVentures
to work, but rather than worrying about
the how, he focused on his personal
growth and let faith carry the load.
When you worry, you dont have any faith.
So I said, Im going to stop worrying and let
faith do some of the work this time.
26
rather than
worrying
about
the how,
he focused
on his
personal
growth.
MICHAEL
IS NOW A
HIGHLY
ENGA
FATH
Michaels success didnt come without costs. He spent

most of the initial two-and-a-half years selling the
product, building his team and missing out on being
with his daughter, Khloe, as a toddler.
That team is now filled with friends he grew up with
in Brooklyn, including Julio Acosta, Javed White, Jesus
Caratini, Gary Cowan and more. These are people
who Michael is helping achieve their own dreams.
Fortunately, hes reached a point where he has the
time and money freedom to be at home with his
children all day and still help his teammates build
successful businesses.
GAGED

Was the sacrifice worth it? Michael insists it was not

just worth it, but necessary.
If you want an extraordinary life, you cant be
balanced. Everyone wants to be balanced. Guess what?
For at least a bare minimum of a year, you cant have
balance in your life, because the balance will only slow
you down. You have to create an imbalance. You have
to give your all to WorldVentures. Its about sacrificing
a few weekends of spending time with the kids, for a
year, to spend all day and all night with them forever.
Michael and Franchesca have a second child, Kobe,
who is 1 year old and, because of the imbalance he
created early on, Michael is now a highly engaged
father and an inspiration to hundreds of thousands of
WorldVentures Reps across the globe.
For Michael, winning isnt about beating the
competition; its about helping people reach the
highest level of what they want, because thats what
Ed Blunt and the other leaders in WorldVentures did
for him.
It doesnt matter where you are today. Its whats

Commit to continuous growth and learning and look for constructive lessons
in personal experiences. Getting to this point took time, however. Francos
defining moment came two years into building his WorldVentures business when
his only choices were to grow and learn to love people more, or quit.
The crazy thing is quitting wasnt an option, he insists. I just couldnt be that
person who, night after night, told people to believe in me, in the company, and
then walk away from it.
Franco has always been competitive, so challenging himself was not an issue.
He did have to confront his limited thinking around personal development. He
also had what he describes as a short fuse, and he didnt realize leaders solve
problems; they do not create them. He also came to accept he didnt have to be
right all the time.
His next steps exemplified more commitment and put him on the route to
championing his full potential. Franco attended every training available and made
sure he was mentally present for every word spoken. He began reading personal
development books such as The Dream Giver, Start with Why: How Great
Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action, The Energy Bus and Three Feet from
Gold. To date, hes read more than 60 books, and he listens to audios daily.
I am a completely different person than when I started out, and I know that has
helped me to become a Regional Marketing Director, he explains. Never in a
million years would I have thought any company would fly me around the world
to speak to other Reps on championing full potential.
Franco has learned if you feel youve arrived, youre on your way back. Its vital to
make the most of every opportunity and give it 100 percent. Minimal effort doesnt
cut it; then you get minimal results. Its sad to see so many people living a mediocre
life because they stopped short of realizing they had another gear, he says.
Franco has also learned to never take anything for granted. His mom just survived
her second aneurysm and his dad underwent heart surgery. Leaving his family
business and joining WorldVentures also allowed for a stronger parent-son
relationship versus that of a boss and employee. Franco has been able to enjoy
more time with those he cares about the most. He has grown a lot because of
these life-changing events. When he goes to bed at night, he says he thanks God
for WorldVentures. I just know that he has his hand on this company.

COACHS CORNER:
ARE YOU THE

LEADER OF YOUR TEAM?
/// BY MARC ACCETTA
THE LENS OF LEADERSHIP

Lets put this into a sports perspective. If you are watching a race, which
one is the leader? There is no possible misunderstanding when you ask
the question that way, is there? Its the one AHEAD of all the others! The
one who is LEADING!
So through that lens, are you the leader of your team? Are you selling
the most DreamTrips Memberships each week? Are you personally
sponsoring more Representatives than anyone else on your team?
One of the most confusing things for people in our industry to
understand is, while you can make profits from overrides when your
team sells memberships, profits should NOT be your focus.
The first thing I learned from my mentor many years ago was, my team
will duplicate whatever I am doing! One of the first things I learned to do
was to create an index card that I read every night before I went to sleep.
That card read, How much money did I earn today if my entire team did
what I did today?
t always amazes me how

many people seem to
misconstrue what it takes
to be a leader. If you ask some
people, they will give you a list
of admirable character traits
such as driven, persistent,
humble, charismatic and loyal.
If you ask others, they will point
to the rank someone holds in
our compensation plan. Others
will say its someone who leads
by example.
LEAD BY EXAMPLE
Thats a bad question for many network marketers to ask themselves.
Most people are not LEADING their team in the race, rather, they are at
the back of the pack yelling at their team to run faster!
What a difference! If you call your team today and scream at them to sell
more DreamTrips Memberships, and they all do the exact same thing,
how many sales will your team make today?
If you are challenged with math, the number would be ZERO!
I have a good friend who was a top real estate broker for one of the
worlds biggest real estate companies for many years. He was the No. 1
personal sales rep in his agency every year. Although he outranked every
agent in the agency, he always LED all of them in sales!
Thats a true leader! So, stop inspiring your team from the back of
the pack. Get in the lead, stay in the lead and watch your team duplicate
your actions!

from its 86th- and 102nd-floor observatories.
Dont Miss the Parade

Entering its 90th year, the Macys

balloons of beloved characters, one-of-akind floats, marching bands and clowns.
The Big Apple

Designed as an oasis for nature and leisure,
Central Park is a vast 843-acre rectangle

CULTURE
Honoring Ancestors
While under British rule, Singapore was
invaded and captured by Japanese forces
in 1942. Subsequently, the Japanese
established one of the most notorious POW
camps of the Pacific theatre, known as
Changi. Today, the site has been restored
and converted into a museum and chapel,
commemorating the thousands of Malay
civilians and Allied soldiers who suffered
there. It also serves to educate future
generations about a chaotic period in
Singapores history.
Hidden Temple of Peace

The Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery
(or KMSPKS for short), was built as the first
traditional Chinese forest monastery in
Singapore. This awe-inspiring monument to
the practice of Buddhism and its disciples is
also an architectural masterpiece. The many
halls and towers offer a sanctuary to pilgrims
and tourists alike.

DUBLIN
High on everyones bucket list is the Emerald Isle: Ireland. And
somewhere in the search is a lucky visit to Dublin. Travel aficionados
recommend Dublin as more than just a layover bound for somewhere
else; Dublin is a destination in itself.
DINING
SIGHTS
Throw Back a Pint
Castles & Cobblestones
Topping every visitors list is the Guinness

Storehouse a charming, rustic, sevenstory building with an inside core shaped
like a pint glass. Its exactly what youd
imagine as the birthplace of an Irish brew.
A journey upward offers a taste-testing
odyssey that ends at the Gravity Bar the
top of the building, the pinnacle of the tour.
For sights of old, the National Gallery of

Ireland features work from the 14th to
20th centuries by Monet, Degas, Goya,
Vermeer and Picasso. The gallery is best
known for Giovanni Lanfrancos version
of The Last Supper.
Another must-see Dublin destination is
Dublin Castle. Despite the absence of a moat
and drawbridge, it is every bit a storybook
castle, so dont forget your camera.
See Dublin in style at The Loft Market, a
fashion collective run by local designers.

Reserving your tickets online is advisable

and allows you to add nifty extra features
like a small group tasting with a professional
Guinness connoisseur.
Wine & Dine

Dublins eateries surprise many visitors. The
90s provided a wellspring of sleek, modern,
diverse dining options. Raves include upscale
steakhouse, Sabor Brazil; award-winning
Indian restaurant, Veda; intimately casual
diner, Bach 16; and coffee-and-desserts
hotspot, Queen of Tarts. But traditional Irish
stew, shepherds pie, soda bread and other
staples are found in abundance at Irish pubs,
not restaurants.
TRANSPORTATION
Catch a Bus
For starters, the bus system is extensive
and sophisticated, with an automatic fare
machine beside the bus driver. Buses dont
accept money or give change, but fares
can be paid with a credit, debit or travel
card, with fares based on distance. Taxis
line up at stands called ranks near most
hotels. And lastly, Dublin is a wonderful
city for walking.

CARLOS ROGERS
Although he secured some parts in various

television ads, TV shows and movies, Carlos
still couldnt eke out a decent living. And thats what prepared him for what was about
to change his life. It was late 2005 and a friend who he met in California invited him
to a WorldVentures party. There, he listened to success stories from folks within the
organization. He liked the energy he was feeling as well.
I just wanted more out of life, he says, adding that he was up for
the challenge. In the television and film industry, you get a lot of
rejection. And that prepared me for WorldVentures.
In the decade since that first party, Carlos has accomplished a lot and he is ecstatic. Ive
traveled all over the world and Ive earned more than I could have imagined being a part
of WorldVentures, he says. And just because hes reached IMD, hes not changing his
style. Ill continue to motivate people and help them achieve more out of life, he says,
and also to have more fun, freedom and fulfillment. In fact, my biggest achievement with
WorldVentures thus far is that Ive helped tons of people become financially free and also
believe in themselves again. My favorite part of the entire business is seeing people put in
the work, the effort and the sweat, and then seeing them win.
Its not money that motivates Carlos. Its the kick he gets out of seeing other people
succeed, and always educating himself, too. A curious sort, hes told Voyager in the
past that building wealth to him includes learning and understanding that he has to
perpetually teach himself new things. Not that he doesnt enjoy the wealth that comes

Asked what suggestions he gives WorldVentures newcomers about how to succeed in the

of a cubicle limited not only their adventurous spirits,
but also their desires to see the world.

In 2009, they decided it was time for a change. We knew
going in that we wanted to work toward owning our own
business so we didnt have to rely on jobs, Mark says. It was
that drive to not have a boss that motivated our engagement
as Reps. WorldVentures allowed us to quit jobs we didnt
enjoy, and now we havent had a job in over three years.
The Wiebengas wanderlust comes with a strong work ethic,
a quality they both retained from childhood. Mark grew up
with financial instability, and Sarah was raised on a family
farm scenarios that discourage taking things for granted.
Mark says theyve always appreciated the value of earning
something over having it handed to them.
Mark and Sarahs biggest motivator is simple: They want to
help others realize lifes true potential.
We stay motivated by knowing there are people out there
who have a chance to change their lives in a big way, like we
have, Mark says, Weve been able to see more of the world
than we ever thought possible. We remind ourselves that
others may never get that chance if we dont tell them.
In September 2015, the Wiebengas became Regional
Marketing Directors, an achievement they consider their
greatest. However, even RMD status takes a backseat to
invaluable life lessons theyve picked up along the way.
The people we have become is a priceless thing. The skills
weve learned through WorldVentures will always be an asset
to us, and that can never be taken away.

Marketing Director Jamila Johnson and her
husband, Vash. Between them, six jobs used to
be required to make ends meet for their family of eight.
After Jamila put in 10 months as a WorldVentures Rep,
those six jobs turned into three. After a year and a half,
she joined WorldVentures full time.
Jamila, whose first apartment was made available
through a low-income housing program, knew future
financial stability would take focus and determination.
She likes to quote her mentor, International Marketing
Director Scott Ross, who says, There is a reaping season

Jamila says. Our kids, our amazing team, and the group

realize this isnt just about us and that keeps us

She also attributes her success to the companionship and
compatibility of her husband.
Vash is the glue that holds it all together. Hes very
approachable, which has been a key factor in building our
business. Hes a yellow personality, Jamila says, referencing
the Living in Full Color color-coded personality test
touted by WorldVentures International Director of Training
Marc Accetta. Im a red personality the polar opposite.
Im never afraid of that magic question, Are you ready to get
started? We definitely even each other out.
Above all, being a role model for their six children is

he worked as a nuclear welder for more than a decade. Kayla
the home just wasnt as appealing.

Leaving school and going to a sitters house is something
we never wanted our children to experience, Kayla says.
Soon after having my first child, I wanted to be a stay-athome mom.
Their WorldVentures opportunity came knocking eight
months later. A friend came to their home with a DVD and
enough inspiration for the couple to join. Today, they work
the business full time, but getting here had its challenges.
We really needed the never give up attitude when we
were stuck at Senior Rep for 13 months, and then again at
Marketing Director for three years, Van says.
Perseverance paid off. The Nguyens achieved Regional
Marketing Director status and earned their $100K
Earner rings.
Now, the couple is reaching goals without stretching
themselves too thin. By emulating the strategies of others
and holding fast to the companys leadership tips, the
Nguyens went from having absolutely no network marketing
experience to building a life that matches their values.
The entire family benefits from the product as they focus on
creating peak life experiences. Through long-term vision
and positive focus, the Nguyens were finally able to see, and
then put, themselves in the life theyd always imagined.

Emmaus Ferdinand, Regional Marketing Director. Although

schools in other neighborhoods, the more social aspects of
youth served to expose his lack of privilege.
If you didnt have the newest sneakers you werent cool,
Emmaus says. I remember going shopping for school and
having a goal of getting my first pair of Jordan sneakers. I
was so excited until I got to the cash register and my mom
told me she couldnt afford them. I made a decision that I
wouldnt depend on anyone else for the things I wanted.
Following college graduation, Emmaus landed a job at
an asset investment company where he worked for three
years. An inner voice insisted this was not the final draft
of his journey.
A life of entrepreneurship soon followed. Two years later,
his roommate introduced him to WorldVentures. The thrill
of traveling more and sharing his friends interests enticed
Emmaus to become a customer.
My favorite DreamTrip so far has been a bottle school
VolunTour to Guatemala, he says. I left with a new
outlook on life and surprisingly the trip helped me focus
more on my business.
Not so surprising is this RMDs straightforward approach
to team building and reaching goals.
I know Im a leader, so when I find someone who

reminds me of myself, its a clue. I lock arms with them
and get to work.

BUILT TO LAST
Julie Eversole, the WorldVentures Foundation

and the restoration of the human spirit. /// BY FELICIA FULLER
Julie Eversole of San Antonio has spent a lifetime

building things. For decades before her retirement,
she oversaw construction projects as a United
States Air Force major. Today, as a WorldVentures
Foundation volunteer, this career engineer funds and
assists with bottle school construction in Guatemala.
66
It is fulfilling to help the children

and families of Guatemala reach their
dreams through education, but it is
also heartwarming to help people have
fulfillment through their experience on
this VolunTour, Julie shares.
Julie coordinates fundraising and leads bottle
school VolunTours twice annually alongside
IMDs Janie and Raymond Braun. So far, the
group has raised over US$58,000 since 2014
and completed construction of three, threeclassroom bottle schools. A fourth school is
slated for completion this summer. All of the
schools are located within a two-hour drive of
San Martn Jilotepeque.
Helping people
I dont know is
my passion.
I dream of a day when one of the children I
met in Guatemala holds the hand of her schoolaged grandchild and says, I remember when
people we didnt even know came to Guatemala
to help us build your school, Julie says.
Helping people I dont know is my passion.
More than a giving project, bottle school
building is an emerging Eversole family
tradition. Julies daughter, Rachel,
accompanied her in 2012 when she joined
the last of a three-leg VolunTour led by IMD

Dave Watson to build the first bottle school
in El Molina. Julies husband, Kurt, joined
them on their sophomore mission that
summer. Today, four years later, the Eversole
family has taken part in seven bottle school
VolunTours and inspired many others to join
them most notably 37 people in 2015.
Once you participate in a bottle school
trip in Guatemala, you cant just go home
and forget about it, Julie explains. The
[first] experience moved something in
me to spread the word to others about
this fantastic opportunity to help others
in Guatemala. I cant imagine my life
without the opportunity to continue to go
on these trips. Life is hard for Guatemalan
families. Education opens the door to other
possibilities. Education can help make their
dreams come true.
Julie says its humbling to know what she

does today will touch generations beyond
her lifetime. After a day of service in San
Martn Jilotepeque last year, humility found
expression when she joined volunteers on
the rooftop of their hotel. High above the
ground, against a backdrop of alpine shadows,
the team sang as acoustics from a dormant
volcano played in the distance.
Dave Watson and his daughter, Sarah Olson,
were leading a non-denominational church
service for our team, she recalls. Almost
everyone had tears in their eyes as we sang
hymns. It was so inspirational. I believe that
everyone I have ever gone to Guatemala with
has come back a more fulfilled person. I dont
see how you could go through the experience
without feeling richer for it.
