Making Your Dreams a Reality with Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing!

Home Page Success Stories

Todd and Ashley Rowland lived the typical American life; happy, but broke and stressed. Todd chose a career as a high school history teacher and football coach. Todd and Ashley made the commitment early on to raise and educate their children at home. In doing so, they were trying to maintain a family of five on an annual salary of $35,000.00 a year.

When Todd first saw the Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing business opportunity, the family was living paycheck to paycheck and had no savings. Todd's father is responsible for exposing Todd to Fortune and once he looked at the opportunity, Todd borrowed the money from his father to become a Manager and Trainer Coach. Borrowing $698.00 when you live paycheck to paycheck is a big deal, but Todd had good reason. Todd was 31 years old, nine years into his career, and saw no other opportunity to start accumulating savings for himself and his family unless something changed.

Todd and Ashley discussed how to run their part-time Fortune business and committed to working 6-8 hours per week in an effort to earn an additional $500.00 per month. The first three months were not easy, but Todd and Ashley stuck to their commitment. They weren't going to quit, there were simply no other options. By the fourth month of their Fortune business, Todd and Ashley reached their $500.00 per month goal. That additional money allowed them to do things they had previously been forced to give up. They started going out to lunch after church as a family and enjoying other small luxuries.

At that point, Todd and Ashley reevaluated their commitment to Fortune and chose to give up all their free time and devote it to growing their business. Over the next several months, their income continued to grow and by their 9th month in Fortune, Todd was able to resign from his teaching job and work Fortune full-time.

Todd and Ashley have been Fortune Reps for 43 months and they are well on their way to having the American Dream. They have no boss, no set working schedule, they own their dream home, and have the freedom to travel. The Rowland's monthly Fortune income now exceeds Todd's annual salary as a teacher and coach, but he's not stopping. Todd is a leader in the Fortune community, and Ashley has founded “Team Fortune”, a support based group for the spouses of Fortune Representatives. We're pleased to feature Todd and Ashley Rowland, National Sales Managers, and 2004 Ring of Honor recipients.


 


Judy Robbins is the newest National Sales Manager of Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing. She is a pure ball of energy and once you've been in her presence, you'll never forget her. Judy jumped into her Fortune business with the same passion as she has done with everything in her life. Before becoming a Fortune Representative Judy owned two businesses, a corporate recruiting company and an information technology contracting company. As such, Judy is no stranger to hard work. Within 3 months of becoming a Fortune Representative, Judy quit her job and devoted herself to her Fortune business fulltime. Within another 2 months, she was an Executive Sales Manager.

Ten years ago, Judy and her husband Brian decided that he would resign his engineering position and stay home to raise the children so Judy could concentrate on building her technology firm. Well, Brian is home with the family, but Judy is on the road sometimes weeks at a time being a top Fortune leader. Judy counts herself as blessed to have such an awesome home based support system. "He takes care of the kids and he takes care of me." Judy knows she is fortunate to have such strong support and that many others don't have that advantage. But she doesn't allow others to use that excuse for not getting into the business. By far, Judy's biggest pet peeve about people she approaches is hearing "I don't have time." "I just laugh when they say they don't have time. Then I ask them, 'What are you going to do to get the time?'"

When asked about her "Fortune Philosophy" (that thing which makes her a successful Fortune Representative) Judy responded "honesty, integrity, consistency and belief in one's self (that you can do it)." She carries this powerful philosophy with her everywhere she goes. So why does she do it? Why does Judy spend time away from her home and family to work this business? The answer is similar to many of yours. Judy wants to be able to do all she can to help her children enjoy their lives. "God didn't intend for us to kill ourselves for 40 years. If I can give them financial independence, I have done my job."

Judy's giving spirit doesn't stop with her children. "Just imagine how many people I could help if I became a millionaire." Judy's big heart wants not just to give, but to make a true difference. She cited organizations such as adoption agencies and unwed mothers where she could see her money doing good for so many.


 


Before becoming a Fortune Rep, Bryan was a 21 year old who left college early to pursue his football dream. As is so often the case, Bryan 's dream was never realized and he spent months in devastation knowing that not only would he never play football, but that football had been his only dream. Bryan woke up one day and decided to call around Memphis to find a job selling cars. One of those phone calls was to Ronald Johnson, soon to become Bryan 's Fortune sponsor. Ronald helped Bryan find a job and also invited him to a business meeting. Bryan went to the Fortune Business Presentation, and before he knew it, he was a Fortune Independent Representative. Three months later, Bryan was a Regional Sales Manger and after another 3 months, at the age of 22, Bryan was the youngest Executive Sales Manager in Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing's history. “I believe one of the keys to my success is acknowledging God in everything I do” says Bryan . Bryan also sings the praises of his parents who have been wonderfully supportive of his choices. “Through some of my roughest times at this very young age of 24, my parents and God were the only ones in my corner.”

Bryan knows that his main ingredient for success is recognizing that though he has made more money in a month than most people do in a year, he still knows that the roles could have been reversed. He could have just as easily been struggling and selling cars watching someone else making the money. For this reason, Bryan feels it is his duty to share the Fortune opportunity with everyone he meets. Bryan also acknowledges the DREAM Team (Developing, Regionals, Executives, and Millionaires) comprised of a tight knit group of leaders who all believe in the Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing opportunity.


 


Eddie Lee and the Herndon family lived a fairly comfortable life. Eddie Lee was the Athletics Director and a Senior Staff member of Lambuth University. His job required him to work 12 to 16 hours per day, 7 days a week. Additionally, he became the Athletics Director elected to oversee 21 colleges in the southeast region, and sat on two national committees.

While Eddie Lee was making what most would consider a comfortable salary, he purchased a new truck that caused the household finances to become tighter than was comfortable. Eddie Lee joined Fortune as a part-time Representative with the goal of making an extra $400 or $500 per month. This would be enough to offset the new truck payment and give the Herndon’s the financial comfort level they had previously enjoyed. That goal was realized in 30 days, and Eddie Lee found himself a Regional Sales Manager well on his way to Executive. It was at that point that Eddie Lee realized he really could have financial freedom in a few short years.

It took Eddie Lee only 12 months with Fortune to more than double what he had been making as Athletics Director at the university. At that point, he retired from higher education and has been living Fortune ever since. Eddie Lee still marvels at how he has seen his life change and the change that he sees occurring in the lives of hundreds of other families.
