I finally made it to RSD through the grace of God while attending college working towards my Masters of Accounting and working part time at another job as well. I would like to thank Jennifer & David Horton for all of her training and support. They have been so patient with me through these two months. I also would like to thank Becky Blacka for her live prospecting calls that are hosted on Saturday nights. The live prospecting calls really helped me out and motivated me when Becky would sign some of the people up with no problem. I also would like to thank my IBO's for believing in themselves and AmeriPlan® because without them I wouldn't be a RSD. And last but not least I would like to thank myself for believing in myself and my capabilities.

The first time I read about AmeriPlan® and talked with Jennifer, I knew this was something I wanted to do and I knew that I could suceed in this business. I was so excited about my new job i could hardly sleep. This has been an amazing journey for me and this is an amazing company to be a part of. My next goal is to become SRSD and take it from there day by day. Once again thank you Jennifer & David Horton for all your help and support.

Oh My GOSH! Is this REAL? RSD? I can't believe this. If you would have told me 30 days ago that I would really truly be RSD in 30 days, I would have said "yeah right." But I did it! YAY ME! This has been the most exciting experince and accomplishment I think I have ever acheived. I am now in management level. I learned that if you believe in what you want then it is definitely attainable. Keep reaching for the stars and you too can be a star.

I would like to personally say thanks to my WONDERFUL IBO Annmarie Sposato. I don't know how I would ever be here today if it wasn't for you. Thank you for talking to me everyday on the phone for additional training and support, and tell your family I said thanks as well for their celebrations of my success, I really enjoyed that. Annmarie you are the best and I look forward to racing to the top with you. I would also like to give a HUGE thanks to Stephanie Turner. You are a wonderful, great, inspirational, fun leader and without those fast track calls I just don't know what I would do. We had a blast on the calls and I look forward to working with you more in the future as well, on my path to SRSD! (Wow that sounds amazing)

I can't forget GOD who brought AmeriPlan®into my life. My husband for being supportive of me and being a great dad when mommy was on the phone late at night or training late at night. 'Thanks baby you're the best'. I want to also thank my 2 year old son Trey for being a great son even when mommy is on the phone and not able to tend to you and play with you as much as you like. You are the best and I love you so much. To all of you Future RSD's just stay focused and remember if you want this bad enough, your will and want will take over and YOU will make this happen.

Jean, Susan, Janie, Winnie, Herman, Crystal & to the entire Freedom At Home Team, you guys are the GREATEST! I had spent seventeen years in the automobile business working 50-70 hrs a week, made great money but had no quality of life. Then I read a article with Janie and Michael Jones and I haven't look back since. It is just like when I started in the auto business seeing the elation of peoples faces when they save money and protect their families or see that new business realize their financial dream. Family is everything, and now Takiyah and I can work our business from home and enjoy our family time with the twins. It is beyond words that we express our thanks to our AmeriPlan® Family.

Carolyn & Robert Walter, Regional Sales Directors
We thank you Lord for making this first giant leap into our future. Bob and I have certainly been blessed and we are so very proud of our achievement to Regional Sales Director. As they say, quitting was NEVER an option but the road certainly had a few bumps and curves on the way. Bob and I believe in AmeriPlan® 100% and only wish that we had found them years ago; however, even at age 72 & 75 we have a few things we would like to do.

Our biggest thanks must go to the Houston Regional Office. From day one everyone treated us like we were someone they wanted to know. Those individuals will never realize how much that means to us both. We hesitate to mention names for fear that will forget someone, so... A GREAT HUGE THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU IN THE HOUSTON REGIONAL OFFICE. Janie and Pennie, you both are tremendous roll models and we thank each of you for your support, encouragement and guiding us when called upon. You kept us going when it would have been so easy to stop. We are proud to be a part of the Freedom At Home Team and we shall strive to make the team proud of us.

I finally made it to RSD! I signed up with AmeriPlan® in January when my awesome IBO Melody called. I talked with her (and she was so patient while my son cried!) about working from home and how I needed to start helping with the bills. What she had for me, I never knew could be so great! I love working with AmeriPlan®. I have had so many other jobs but now I have a career that I can control. I am in charge of how much I make and I do not have a Boss or Manager standing over me to watch my every move. (Unless of course you count my husband, but I think he is on my team and cheering me on!)

My husband, Justin, has been so supportive and so very wonderful. He has even helped me grow my business by talking to co-workers and other contractors on jobsites about AmeriPlan® and the great Benefits that we have to offer. He has been very patient with all the training that I had to do at the beginning and now he sometimes is the one to remind me that I have to attend a training call (with an 8 month old I can use all the reminding that I can get!).

I knew that this year had to be the year that I changed things for me and my family. I have always wanted to be able to make enough so that my husband can stay home with me and our son, Benjamin. AmeriPlan® has given me that opportunity and I am going to work as hard as necessary to make that happen. Signing up for AmeriPlan® was the first step and getting to RSD was the second. Now I am working toward the TOP! See you all there! Good Luck! Thank you Melody for calling and signing me. You have changed my life!

Yvonne Coleman, Regional Sales Director
I made it! Whoopee! Thank you to Anita and all the people on the training calls that I found to be most helpful. Thank you, thank you, and thank you! With those voices on the other end of the phone, I didn't feel so alone. I spent over 20 years working as an Employee Benefits Specialist. One of the things I noticed was how employers were changing the benefits offered to their employees to save money. This provided less coverage and more cost to the employee. By signing up in AmeriPlan®, I could see the direct savings to me and I could choose to spend my money in a way that I was happy with.

Second, I had owned my own business, employees, leases, workers compensation, business licenses; all the expenses to keep a business running. With AmeriPlan® I work from my home, I set my hours and I truly believe in the benefits that AmeriPlan® offers.

When I closed my business, I didn't know what to do with myself. I was burned out from the 24/7 that is required when you have a business. I tried baby-sitting, retail work, convention work, mystery shopping and lets not forget cosmetics by catalog! Then I found Anita's ad on Craig's List (it does work). And I thought this goes along with my background, let's find out more. I requested an interview. Well, I was one of those that needed to think about it and I did until the email came for dollar promotion. Then I signed up. I didn't do much to start, the holidays were coming and anything else I could think of to keep from getting started got in the way. Sounds like a mom and a grandmother? Then Anita suggested I get to Champions Weekend.

Thank you Anita, for suggesting I get to Champions Weekend. What an amazing experience. Everyone should go at least once. Whenever I was feeling down and not sure, I remember all the speakers who spoke directly to me. They all are inspirational. My whys keep me going: 1: Mark, my wonderful and supportive husband. Our time together is most precious. 2: My beautiful grandchildren. They are the loves of my life. 3: Financial freedom. To see and do the things I have always dreamed about.

To my IBOs Molly, Kyle, Jacob and Brandy: Always remember "Quitting is not an option." When you think you can't make another call, make one more. Believe in what you are doing and remember your why. Thank you for taking the step to sign up for AmeriPlan® with me.

This is one of my favorite quotes and it sits on the bottom of my monitor: When I let go of what I am. I become what I might be. Lao Tzu When I read this quote, I tell myself to get out of my way, as I am the only one stopping me! On to SRSD!

Tracy Kansan, Regional Sales Director
I finally made it RSD, that sounds good! First of all I would like to thank my IBO Kegan Grace who introduced me to AmeriPlan®, if it was not for her I would not be here today. I would also like to thank my IBOs Colleen Gatto, and Regina Morris, you were always there to help me. I live in Hawaii and we have very limited providers, I never thought that I would get this far, but I did. To all of you new IBOs, you will have your good and bad days but hang in there you will make it like I did. I am so happy to be able to work from home, the best part of it is I get to watch my children grow, how cool is that! SRSD here I come!

Angie Moudy, Regional Sales Director
I made it! Well first off I would like to thank my Lamb Chop, Brenda Hillman for signing me up. Brenda has become such a good friend and such a wonderful help. And a special thanks to Anita too for answering my questions and for the support. I'm so happy that I have the two of you as my upline!

Well my official day of signing up was Jan 2, 2007. Happy New Year! Little did I know what the New Year would bring me, AmeriPlan®. It was a rocky start, my daughter ended up in the hospital and in and out of different drs. But that faded away and I was ready to start signing people up. Yes some days I had to call and get a pep talk from Brenda but she was wonderful as always and she told me to hang in there. I'm so glad she did!

My whys are my kids Jennifer 19, Dylan 14, and Tanner 9. I want to be able to take them on a "real vacation" not just a day here or a day there. They keep me motivated. Plus I cant wait to fire my boss, aka Walmart. Both of my boys play football and I want to be able to go all of their games without having to worry about scheduling.

To all of my IBO's I cant wait to see you at the top with me. "Don't let the fear of striking out, keep you from playing the game." If I can do it, so can you! Thank you so much everyone!

I finally made it to RSD! It took about 6 weeks, but i did it! I want to thank God for sending Kristie my way, I had read the article about Janie Jones 3 times but didn't know if it was for me. Kristie has been very supportive answering questions and giving tips, even at 10:30 at night, (What a Gal). Thank you for inspiring me to go on even when I felt stuck. I hope to be as great of a leader as you have been. I look forward to moving up, and becoming SRSD, and taking everyone I can with me.

Follow the example, What your mind can concieve it will achieve. This has worked for me,(well, that and the $100,000 residual income in 2 years!) Good luck to all, and I'll see you at the top!

Sara Vojtasek, Regional Sales Director
Well, here I am...RSD! It took me longer to get here than I thought it would, but I've really enjoyed this time of learning and growing!

First of all, I'd like to thank all of you that have played a part in my success so far. I want to thank Anita for all her encouragement. As you all know, she is a wonderful lady to work with! I am so pleased to become friends with her, and to learn from someone like her. Thank you, Anita! I also want to say a special "Thank You" to Reginald Stinson. He was so kind and willing to help me set-up my Pay Per Click (and that's what got me to RSD!). I really didn't know what I was doing, and Reginald was willing to help me whenever I needed it. Thank you, Reginald! I also used a free trial of Netquote leads for members, and free advertising to get my IBOs. Of course, the Fast Track 2 RSD leaders have played a big part in my success as well. A big "Thank You" to all of you! I would also like to mention here, that I am so thankful to my husband, Travis, for supporting me in this dream. Thank you, Travis!

Now, I would like to share my story with you. I will try to do this in as few words as possible, but that might be a little hard to do!

First of all, just to tell you a little about myself...I am a stay-at-home mother of four wonderful children. My oldest is 9, and my youngest is 2. I do a lot of things besides AmeriPlan®: I homeschool, teach violin, direct the children's ministries at our church (which includes travelling with our puppet team), and also perform in a local Symphony. I have a very wonderful, and full life, but as you all know, sometimes it is hard to balance everything.

On February 26th (exactly 2 months after siging up in AmeriPlan®), I wanted to make sure that I was in the Lord's will with this business. I hadn't signed up anyone yet, and I knew that the business was wonderful...but, I wanted to be sure that it was what the Lord wanted ME to do. So, that morning I prayed that He would show me that week by letting me sign up one person. By that afternoon, I had signed up my 1st IBO; the next day, I signed up my 2nd IBO; the third day, my 3rd IBO; and two days later, my 4th IBO! How's that for an answer!

Things have been moving a little slowly since then, but I knew that AmeriPlan® was in the Lord's plan for me! This week, I went through another wonderful experience of the Lord's love and plan for each of His children.

I was struggling with balancing my life (like we all do!). I felt that my family, and my children's ministries were suffering because of all the time I was spending on my business. So, I told the Lord that I was going to put Him and my ministries first, and that I would give Him my business. The next day, I didn't even turn on my computer until I was finished with school, finished with my children's music lessons, etc. In the middle of all this, I received a call from someone who wanted to sign up for the Medical plan. I turned on my computer to submit her app and found out that 2 more members had signed up themselves on my website! The Lord is good! So, needless to say...I give my Lord the glory for my success...and from here on out, this is His business, not mine! Thank you all, and God bless!

Pat Russell, Regional Sales Director
Praise the Lord! I finally made it to RSD, thanks to my God and great support from my husband, Cheryl Sexton, Sonja Hicks and the rest of the Freedom at Home team. My journey to RSD began in November of 2006 with the $1.00 promotion and it certainly had its encouraging and discouraging moments. However, quitting was not an option and my commitment was strengthened by experiencing first hand what true support and encouragement meant. Champions Weekend was a pivotal turning point for me and I am extremely grateful for the phenomenal training and experience. Talk about impact and motivation!

Being downsized after 28 years of faithful service led to some serious soul searching about what my career move should be. I knew corporate America was not for me and that I needed to do something that would change my life in a major way. AmeriPlan® is a company with values that I can relate to and helping others achieve their dreams while I am achieving mine is something that just makes sense. I am excited about the journey ahead and look forward to blessing others as I have been blessed. With the support of the FAHT and my family I can't miss getting to the top and bringing an awesome team with me along the way!

My advice to all AmeriPlan® IBO's is stay committed and be serious about your business. Always keep in mind the quote: if you do nothing different today you will still be in the same place a year from now. Take advantage of the support system and persevere, you will reap the benefits of your efforts and you will learn a lot along the way.

Debbie Gibson-Harr, Regional Sales Director
Wow, I got it done! I made RSD and I am on my way to the top! I truly want to thank God for showing me the AmeriPlan® opportunity, because I vowed never to try a home based busniness again. I read Janie Jones's story and just felt it in my bones, that this was the company for me. My resistant husband said he would at least be supportive and he has been. Thank you Dan for helping me with the kids and thank you to my kids for putting up with me on the phone and the computer. I am so busy with work and we own a car wash, that I literally do my AmeriPlan® business around all the edges.

Thank you to my IBO, Sonja for putting up with me calling all the time for her support. I can see through you and your sister what is possible in this company.

I am truly grateful for this opportunity not only for who I will become during the process to NSD but for those lives that I will touch and inspire along the way!

David Price, Regional Sales Director
WOW! Who would have every imagined, huh! Without a doubt I have to thank God first, for keeping me strong in faith, and healthy enough to go out and work each and everyday.

My poor wife has almost completely given upon me SO many times over the years because of all the money I've wasted on my "foolish" dreams to stay at home with the kids and fire my boss! Ive tried, literally, EVERY work at home opportunity out there, usually had to buy a bunch of their wares up front. USUALLY ended up getting no real support or guidance, which is why I pretty much failed at all of them.

I've always had the heart, but my wife will be the first to tell you, I've never had any common sense. You can have all the heart in the world, but when you try something totally off the wall from anything you know or have ever done, you really need at least a little bit of guidance.

FORTUNATELY, I never gave up my FOOLISH dream, and fortunately my wife has never given up on me. I want to thank her for always believing in me. I was convinced IT was out there. I don't have to work for corporate America if I don't want to, financial realities kept proving me wrong.

I'm a very hard worker and always believed if i could just find something I could get passionate about and somebody could at least GUIDE me a little, I could stick with it and accomplish everything I've read could be accomplished. Then I saw the story, right there in home business connection magazine, Janie Jones. AmeriPlan®, stay at home mom, husband civil engineer, he was skeptical, she had a dream, held on to it, worked it, BOOM, now shes the one in a magazine. I told my wife, "That's it, SHES LIVING MY DREAM!" AmeriPlan® huh? I did a search for Janie, there she was, everywhere. I was so impressed. I told my wife I'm going to contact her and if she personally calls me back I'm gonna go work with Janie Jones.

Here I am signed up by JANIE JONES! and am now an RSD with JANIE JONES. I am so glad I never said "well, nows just not a good time or I'll wait til things get better or call me in 6 months" I KNOW NOTHING IS GOING TO EVER CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE UNLESS YOU CANGE SOMETHING! I did! Here I am! AND to make the whole dream really a reality. JANIE JONES, MY INSPIRATION, MY HERO, is now my personal MENTOR! THANK YOU JANIE! And to my team. You guys are wonderful! Don't ever let someone tell you, "you CAN'T do something" or "THAT'S JUST A FEW FAR AND BETWEEN PEOPLE THAT DID THAT." If YOU believe you can, YOU CAN!

Don't EVER let anyone tell you that you CAN'T do something! You CAN have anything and everything you want! You just have to go out and get it!

Kristen Cote, Regional Sales Director
I finally made it to RSD! I feel like this has taken FOREVER, but actually has only been about 6 weeks.

My advice to everyone working towards RSD is to never give up, follow the training, and take full responsibility for your sucess. It may seem daunting at first, but it's just like that old question "how do you eat an elephant...one bite at a time!" And you must have a strong "why" that gets you to do it. For me, that's my two sons, Tyler and Cole. Tyler who is 3, has cerebral palsey, and Cole is 18 months old. Before I started AmeriPlan, our financial future was not looking good - my husband's business was on the verge of bankruptcy, my husband himself is afflicted with a disease that is killing him, and I could not return to work (80 hours a week as a markeing manager, with international traveling).

I knew that time was going to pass me by whether I did anything or not. After signing up with Kelly, she told me an important thing that really changed my outlook - my success has 90% to do with attitude, 10% with skill, and where was I going to be next year? Since I decided I had to be successful, I started to figure out how I could do things, rather than why I could not. For example, many of the training calls are near my kid's bedtimes, which is crazy at my house. Instead of complaining about it, I made the changes so I could do it - popped in a video for the kids, gave them a special snack, and prayed that the moderator would mute my line out as quick as possisble. And when I have those times when I "just don't feel like it" I look at my "why" and it gets me to do whatever it is - post that ad, send that email, make that call. What an amazing difference this mindset has made in my business.

I also take advantage of the training that is offered. I went through boot camp, listened to the training calls, attended Fast Track training and followed Kelly's suggestions. Every time I participated in a training event, I got something out of it - maybe not right away, but those "pieces" fell into place when I needed them.

Also, I assumed responsibility for my training instead of relying on Kelly to push me along. She has 70+ IBOs under her - she can't babysit me! I don't wait for her to call me to see if I need anything - I call her. She always calls or emails back, and we have a 3 hour time difference to deal with! It's another example of how we can make it work instead of complaining about the hurdles.

Last week my husband told me to get another phone line, because our line was always ringing with AmeriPlan® business a signpost to me that I'm well on my way to meeting my goals.

I would not have made it to RSD without the help and support of Kelly and the rest of the team - how fortunate we are to be on this team of caring and supportive people! Although I rarely post on the board, I certainly learn from questions and answers of others (why reinvent the wheel - take advantage of learning that comes your way). Thanks to everyone!

Rose Cortes, Regional Sales Director
I am still in shock and can't believe I have reached my goal of Regional Sales Director. It has always been a dream of mine to own my own business, and now that dream has been realized. I didn't want to work with just any company; I actually wanted to be excited about the company I would represent. And, then, I stumbled upon AmeriPlan® while searching on the Internet for an affordable dental plan for my family.

When I received the call from Shannon Lunsford (my IBO), in response to more information about the medical benefits, she mentioned that I could become an IBO (aka Broker) for the company. I was so excited about the benefits I would be receiving that I knew without a doubt I wanted to share with others what AmeriPlan® had to offer in the way of affordable supplemental medical and dental benefits.

AmeriPlan® is such a unique company because they not only provide you with everything you need to succeed, they also help you get to where you want to go with the unlimited training, encouragement and support. They stay in touch by email and share with you their experience, their knowledge and their success. I have never come across another company quite like AmeriPlan®.

I would like to thank Shannon for always returning my calls, for answering my emails, and for not giving up on me. You can imagine how difficult it must have been since Shannon lives in Texas and I live in California. The time difference alone made it tough at times. Without knowing it, Shannon, you were my champion and you kept me focused and encouraged me to believe in this company and in myself. You knew I would make it to RSD (even before I did). Thank you for sticking by me.

I also want to thank Janie Jones for being such a great role model for the rest of us with her success, and for the inspirational emails she sends which remind us that she is proof that this company is for real. I also want to thank Pennie Berk, Regina Morris and Renee Winans for answering my questions, and for the great training emails and training calls. I am very excited to be a representative of such a great company! I can't wait to become SRSD.

Joy Garrison, Regional Sales Director
I am the proud mother of seven children ages 2 to 13. Six of which are girls. I have always wanted to set the example to my daughters that anything is possible, if you set your mind on it. Even when I went to college and had one of those majors people say what are you going to do with that, I said nothing but show my kids it can be done.

In the beginning of this year my husband lost his job. We suddenly found ourselves in a realm we had never been in before. We immediately thought of starting our own business. He jumped right into an online thing, using money I did not know if we could replace. We did not. One day while job hunting I found Kristie's ad. I went to her website and read everything! I was waiting with cell phone in hand for her call. I had several reserved questions that I had written down and she was able to answer all of them. All I had to do then was come up with the money. I borrowed the $50 from my mother and I was off and running on Feb 9th.

I am so glad to find something that is legit, that I am excited about, and I can really sink my teeth into. I am always looking for a quiet moment where I can sneak off and make some calls or do some more training. I love that the Freedom at Home team is there to help us every step of the way from training to helping with leads. Thank goodness for those post card leads!! I can hardly wait to see how long it takes me to get to the top, not long if I have anything to say about it. With AmeriPlan®, I do!

Thanks to all who have helped me along the way, my kids for trying to be quiet while I worked, my mom for helping me get started, Kristie for all the encouraging talks when I hit my wall, and Amy for her extra special help. Oh yeah and Patty for providing some healthy competition. I am soooo thankful to be on this team! Well back to work there is so much to be done! Besides this is starting to sound like an Emmy speech. :)

So, look out at the top, move over because here I come.

Megan Cadenhead, Regional Sales Director
I finally made it. I sometimes wondered if this day would ever come. It is definately a long time coming and I couldn't be more excited and proud.

My story is a lot different then most others out there. First of all, about a month or so into the business my IBO quit. I was rolled up to her IBO who until this day I have never spoken to. You could say I definately felt alone. I didn't understand that I could contact any one of the people in my upline and they would help me. I eventually found myself in the very first FAHT Bootcamp. I was very fortunate to have been placed into Robin Slagle's focus group. After explaining to her what I had been through, she took me in like an adopted child and has done her best to mentor me. Her patience and determination to see me succeed has finally paid off. Now, 15 months into the business I have finally made it to RSD.

There were definately times when I would have one person sign up only to have two drop out, or make what seemed like 200 calls and not a single person be interested, or even have those who were not so thrilled with my calling them and then letting me know it. But, through all this I always believed that my time would come. I would make it even if it took forever. After trying numerous other companies, I knew that AmeriPlan® was right for me. I feel great about what I have to offer people. I am no longer selling things to people that they don't really need.

Yes, it took me a bit longer than most, but the most important thing is that I NEVER QUIT! I could have given up when I felt all alone. I could have given up when I was almost there so many times only to have people cancel on me and then have to start over. I could have given up so many times! But I didn't. That is the one thing that I would like for every new broker to remember. Don't ever QUIT! If I had quit all that time ago, I wouldn't be RSD today and I wouldn't have the opportunity to start working towards SRSD.

I need to say thank you to my husband, Caleb. He has been so supportive through all the different things I have done. He believes in me and is always willing to help me out however he can. I WILL bring you home baby! To my kids, thanks for doing the broker dance with me!!

Most importantly, Thank You Robin! Without you I don't know where I would be. I probably wouldn't be typing all this right now. You have been a such a good friend. You stepped up and helped me through a lot of hard times and you didn't even have to. That means so much to me. Now STOP CRYING!!

Well, SRSD here I come! So, look out at the top, move over because here I come.

"CORK POP! Que the music! I finally made RSD! What a confidence builder. Yeah, it took me seven months but it was worth all the effort. This first step you build from nothing. You're not absolutely sure it will work for you but in your heart you can't find a reason it won't so you keep trying. I've pulled right up to RSD on more than one occasion only to have someone drop off and put me back. But each time I came back and kept trying. I NEVER QUIT! AND I'LL NEVER QUIT. Now, I know it works for everyone and if I can make RSD I can make NSD!

I want to especially thank my IBO, Paige Lombardi, who has never, NEVER, failed me. She always has the answers to my questions, ALWAYS advised me of the next step or the right way to go. I am so glad that day last September when I was so frustrated with my job that I went on line to see what was out there I could do and the first and only thing I looked at was AmeriPlan®.

I want to thank Becky Blacka for her support and ideas and leadership as well. Becky, I have told your story countless times. And, finally, I want to thank my Mother for becoming my sixth member and putting me over the top for RSD!

For ANYONE not yet at RSD take it from me please, If I can do this ANYBODY CAN! Thanks to all my down-line IBO's I know you guys will all be great. (Im even thankful for those IBO's that QUIT! I learned from you too)

Wow! RSD! I now firmly KNOW if you can make RSD you can make NSD! Oh, and lest I forget I love AmeriPlan® and the Blooms for making this all possible too. WHAT A GREAT COMPANY AND WHAT GREAT LEADERS WE HAVE IN DENNIS AND DANIEL BLOOM! FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MORE TIME THAN I CAN REMEMBER I ENJOY MY WORK!

Nicole Safley, Regional Sales Director
RSD, finally! From the moment I read the article about Janie in the Home Business magazine, I knew this was the company for me. You see, I have always known that I was destined to be a National Sales Director. Only problem was I had previously been with another company, and it just wasn't working out for me. When I read about AmeriPlan®, I realized that I WAS going to be a National Sales Director, just with a different company! I'm going to be a NSD with AmeriPlan®!

I've always known that if I was going to be wealthy and have the time freedom that I desired for my family, that I would need to have my own business. It certainly wasn't going to happen working in corporate America. AmeriPlan® has a very needed service, allows us to market our business freely, and has the opportunity for advancement that I desired. I am so excited to have achieved RSD, and am looking forward to growing my team and creating lots of AmeriPlan® leaders. My team is filled with exceptional business people who are all working hard to advance. My passion is in building people to achieve their dreams, and that is exactly what we are getting ready to do. SRSD here we come!

Special thanks to my IBO, Theresa Dosch. She has done everything she possibly could to help me advance. I also appreciate the support and kind words of encouragement from the entire Freedom At Home Team, especially Christina Swienteck and Timothy Carroll. To the Top!

BTW, I got my last member while lying on the coach in a narcotic haze from having knee surgery two days prior. I had several leads that needed to be called, and didn't want them to wait too long. So, I called my husband to have him evaluate my speech to see if I could pass muster. Didn't want to sound too spacey! With his approval, I called the member leads that I had to no avail. Then I had a broker lead to call. She was very cold, and really wasnt a good prospect. When I mentioned that we market to uninsured and underinsured people, she piped up and said that was her! So we talked about benefits and she signed. It was great! I was determined to get that last member, and the perseverance paid off! My advice, work even when you don't want to or feel like it and always listen! They may not know exactly what they want, but if you really listen to what they are saying it is quite possible that you can fill a need.

Oh Happy Day! What a Blessed day this is and a wonderful feeling to finally make RSD! And for me it took a long time since I did not work my business due to other personal conflicts at the time of signing up. I was first contacted by a gentleman about working from home with AmeriPlan® in early 2006. I did not sign up with him because at that time I had not heard of AmeriPlan® and I was currently trying out another "work from home" opportunity...which turned out to be a bust! Then soon after that I picked up a work from home magazine and low and behold there was the story about Janie Jones and her success with AmeriPlan®. I knew then that AmeriPlan® was legitimate and when Pennie called me I knew already I was going to sign up. Even though I could not work my business for many months I knew it was the business for me and was the answer for me and my family.

Being a single mom it is very important for me to be able to take care of my three wonderful boys and still be able to support us. I decided Jan. 1st, 2007 that I needed to apply myself fully and work my business consistently and I haven't looked back. I would like to thank my family and friends for all their help and support, whom without I would not be at RSD. I would like to thank Pennie and the other brokers who gave me support and encouragement to reach RSD also. What a wonderful company and team to be a part of!

I kept telling Pennie that I "would" reach RSD since I felt she probably thought I fell off the face of the earth! I'm not a barn burner in regards to reaching RSD but I WILL continue to move forward and prosper with this team and company!

To my team, the key advice I can give is "consistency." You truly need to work your business consistently if you want to see results. And of course, NEVER give up or quit! See everyone at the top!

I made it to RSD! It feels so great to achieve my first goal of many. I can't say it didn't get frustrating at times but with the support I had from my husband and my IBO, I have to say, It wasn't that hard.

First let me tell you how I started with AmeriPlan®. A lady came to my house to buy some dogs. She left a business card on my table ( I thought she was crazy) leaving a card on my table. I was reading doing a homebased business and at the time refused to try anything else.

I went to her website and it blew me away. I called her and said I am signing up with you and didn't even give her the chance to respond. I quit the homebased that was costing me about $2,000 a month.

With AmeriPlan®, I actually make money and thanks to that crazy lady my IBO, Tammy Kessner, I was able to finally build a foundation to my business. Tammy has been there for me every step of the way. So thank you Tammy Kessner for handling me mine and my families future.

For all you new business owners my advice to you would be your IBO is there to help you and will take you to the top, so always take their advice. Make goals for yourself and achieve those goals even if it gets hard and frustrating, remember you only get what you work for and want. See all of you at the top.

Richard & Beverly Lockett, Regional Sales Director
This is one of our proudest moments. We got weary, but Jessica never let us lose the faith. We reached RSD with the help of our memtor Jessica, and we are forever grateful. AmeriPlan® is a new adventure for us and we will bravely go to the next phase with the help of our Lord and Savior, Jesus the Christ.

It took four months to get here. We must admit, we did not give it our all and all. But having reached RSD, we are going on full speed ahead now. This is a great company and we will work hard to make our goals and help others to make their goals come true. Thank your Janie, Becky, and Jessica for being good role models. May God always bless AmeriPlan®!

I don't know if I can express how happy I am to reach RSD! It is an accomplishment that I really treasure! I am very satisfied to have finally found AmeriPlan®.

After working for 19 years in a dead end job and running in the same rut day after day, I decided I wanted a better life. I tried so many work at home opportunities before I found AmeriPlan®. I sold candles, credit card processing, private income group, Fuel Caps, did surveys, read emails to Earn Credits, assembled toys, macram hangers at home, Ect. Ect. Ect After spending tons of money and not getting much in return. It was no wonder when I started AmeriPlan®, my husband wasn't very supportive.

But, I have always believed, IF YOU CHANGE NOTHING, NOTHING CHANGES! So I would not give up looking, I knew that something, some where Had to work! And it did! Thank you AmeriPlan®! My husband now sees my Checks coming in and says, I think you really found something there! And now he is planning the fun we are going to have, with our new found wealth in AmeriPlan®.

So, if you were to Ask me, if I would ever quit AmeriPlan®, I would have to ask you, What would I want to go Back to? I never want to forget the reason why I was searching, when I found AmeriPlan®. So for me quitting is simply out of the question! I am so grateful to have had Suzanne as my IBO, who has been my friend, and a constant source of encouragement and help. Thank you Suzanne for always answering the phone, and being so patient with me. I know I asked a lot of questions when we First met, but I had to build trust in you and AmeriPlan®. And you did that very well! And you continue to always be there. Thank you! And I am also, so grateful that I am with the BEST support team, who are never to busy to keep in contact, and give me Support and Encouragement, even when I have run into some bumps in The road on my way to RSD.

RSD is My stepping stone on the Journey to Success! Next Stepping stone SRSD!

Pat & Keith Tucker, Regional Sales Director
Whoo hoo! I am so excited I can hardly stand it. I made it to RSD. I should actually say that We made it to RSD because my husband Keith signed me up and it has been great. We signed up AmeriPlan® on February 15, 2007 and two weeks later, I spent my last unemployment check and went to Champions weekend in Houston to find out about this company. I was only with AmeriPlan® for 2 weeks and I went there not knowing a soul, only knowing what people look like through their pictures. Debi, my IBO got sick and wasn't able to go, so I was really on my own. But it was at the weekend that I knew without a doubt, that this is where God was leading me. For the first time in 15 years, I had a vision. It was at Champions weekend that I was able to meet people from the freedom at home team, namely Becky Blacka and Robin Slagle. They took me under their wing and made sure that I was part of the team. It truly was a weekend that was life changing. I don't even have the words to explain the experience! It was a blessing beyond belief.

Some of the ways that Keith and I have found our leads is first by the postcard method. They have been very successful for us and we continue to use them today. We also used the A-plan leads and the Freedom at home leads. We never leave the house without having our supplies with us, so no matter where we are, out to dinner, at the barber, the grocery store, church, etc, we are always prepared to do business. We listen to training at least 3-4 times a week, attend as many team meetings as possible and make sure we are reading a personal development book. We are currently reading "The First Year in Network Marketing" and "The Slight Edge". We are also blessed to live only 5 minutes from the only regional office in Ohio and we attend those meetings as well. What is nice about that is everyone is from different teams and you really get a different perspective and approaches to the business. One thing everyone at the meeting says though is that the freedom at home team is the BEST!

Thank you Debi Copfer for continuing to encourage me! Your calls have meant so much and I am so happy to be the first RSD under you! I also want to really thank Robin Slagle for not just her continued support but for her sense of humor and friendship. Last but not least, thank you Becky Blacka for encouraging me! Thank you for reaching out to me at Champions weekend. Had you not, I may not have stayed. You have no idea how important that was for me. Keith and I look forward to working with our team and are excited to work with them to get them to RSD. See you all at Convention!

Kathy Vincent, Regional Sales Director
Praise the Lord! I am so excited that I have made it to the first step! I started 3 months ago, working part-time hours and I am grateful for all I have learned. My "WHY" is twofold, one - to bring my husband home so we can work together at my number two reason - my ministry, The Scripture Lady. The Scripture Lady is actually my first business. I have the honor of traveling around to churches and schools in Southern California and put Scripture to music. (scripturelady.com if anyone's interested, I also am getting ready to offer weekly emails to parents and teachers to help get kids excited about the Bible, please email me if you'd like to be on the list.)

I want to thank my husband who is my greatest fan and support. He looks forward to the day he can retire. I thank my girls for supporting me as well. It seems like I am always busy! And I want to thank Sonja Hicks for all of her help and support. I look forward to meeting you face to face someday.

I also am very excited for each of my new IBO's. I can't wait to rejoice with you also someday.

My advice: Don't let anyone steal your dream. They just don't get it, maybe someday they will. There are enough people out there to search for who will "get it". Also, don't be afraid to stretch your boundaries and comfort levels a bit. You'll never know what you can do until you try. See you at the top!

Carissa Bryant, Regional Sales Director
Woohoo! I finally made it to RSD and it feels great. I want to thank Lisa for calling and telling me about this amazing company and for helping me to get started. I also want to thank Amy Jacobs for her continued support and encouragement. You really got me through the bumps and reminded me that Quitting Is Not An Option...not that I ever thought about it! I knew in my heart that AmeriPlan® was the company for me.

I would also like to thank my husband. Leonard, you've always supported me and encouraged me to continue on because you knew that I could do it and I did. For all the mothers out there who are trying to balance work and family...HANG ON! I know it can be hard to work and run the home at the same time but you can do it. Never give up. And to all of my brokers, keep moving forward. It won't be long before this is you telling everyone about your amazing journey. Stay focus and God Bless!

See you at the top!

Cheryl Houston, Regional Sales Director
Hi Everyone Out There...I knew the day was coming very soon when I would reach RSD! In the last week or so I got my three members pretty easily either from referrals or flyers I put out around town. But believe me, the first three were not easy. I signed on with AmeriPlan® last November 2006 with the $1 promotion but I didn't really get started making phone calls or working with leads until January 2nd of this year.

I knew with Thanksgiving and Christmas and 10 grandchildren it wouldn't be easy until after the New Year and then I really dug in. I was scared to death calling my first broker lead and my IBO couldn't help with a 3-way because she had lost her voice - so I had to do it all by myself! I am so glad I did. It helped me believe in myself and after a week of practice and using Becky Blacka's script, I was signing up lots of brokers and getting some free leads on the internet. That was exciting. I worked consistently like they tell you to do, listened to the conference and training calls and even recorded lots of them and put them on my MP3 and when I took my little Sophie dog for a walk I could learn while walking or exercising.

The best thing I did for my business was to go to Champions Weekend. I got to meet face to face all the great leaders on the team - it was like seeing movie stars in person! And, they were so real and nice and caring. I met and spoke with Becky Blacka - the gal that I read the script from every day to sign up brokers. I met with Regina Morris who had called and encouraged little ole me and who I learned from on the training calls. What a nice person. I watched her and others from my Freedom At Home Team go up on the stage and say, "It's Closer Than You Think!" and their stories and testimonies helped me believe in myself and that if they could do it - I could do it too! I was invited to Janie Jones hotel room to meet other members of the team and we all just sat around and chatted and shared stories. This is where AmeriPlan® became REAL to me. Before I felt a little isolated and kind of on my own, even though my IBO, that go-getter Kelly Pira, was there by my side by phone call or email any time I needed encouragement or help. She's the BEST. Thank you Kelly. I know if I follow in your footsteps, I will be in your place very soon. Thank you for all your help and it was so great to meet you face to face at Champions. Most of all...I met a new friend and confidant and fellow Freedom At Home Team member at Champions...Tisha Boring - my roomate. God put us together for so many reasons! I love you girl, and congrats to you on becominig RSD soon after Champions!

Well, I am rambling on so I must close. I thank my dear supportive husband, Leaman for all his encouragement. He has helped me get my members! We'll be doing this together some day as a team. Oh, one more thing, at Champions - the frosting on the cake was the Sunday Church service led by Mark Jarvis. That was the clincher for me - knowing in my heart that God brought me to a business I could believe in and work alongside other believers gave me the foundation and hope that I needed - that I will also need in the future to continue to work this business with God as my Real Guide.

No more commuting, no more Secretary 9 to 5, my future is with AmeriPlan®. I have caught the vision, and will be up on that stage with the rest of you very very soon. Signed me up and God Bless.

Vickie Harris, Regional Sales Director
Praise the Lord! I finally made it to RSD. It took longer than I anticipated. I have faced many obstacles along the way, but I'm not one to complain. I take everything as a learning experience in developing my personal character. Quitting has never been an option for me! AmeriPlan® has enabled me to find my niche in life. It is so rewarding to be able to help people save money on healthcare and even better to help people find financial freedom. I had been looking for work at home for years and found nothing I was passionate about doing. I worked nights so I could support my family and be home during the day with my 3 children. I prayed to God to let me find a work at home business to earn a decent income and prayed for healthcare for myself.

I give a Big thank you to God, who put AmeriPlan® in my path, my IBO Tiffany Ivy, my uplines Anita Houser and Janie Jones's motivating and encouraging emails. Most of all, to Elizabeth Carter, who is a great mentor and leader with a no-nonsense attitude I absolutely admire. Thanks for everything. Last but not least, my WHY's, Josh, Danny and Julie. They are my foundation and definately make my life meaningful.

My words of advice to new IBO's, achievement is impossible without change. There will be rain and sunshine with this business, but DON'T QUIT! Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence not seen. Hebrews 11:1

Dayna Davis, Regional Sales Director
Wow, I am Regional Sales Director finally. I didn't break any records, but reaching this first goal meant so much to me. I have been working so hard at this and believe it or not, this is the first time I have ever tried anything like this. I have found out that working this business is definitely not the easiest thing in the world to make happen. I remember telling my friend Heather, who is also my sponsor, to mark her calendar because in 10 months time I should be RSD due to the fact that I was signing up one member a month, as was my average. Anyway, I kept plugging away and something clicked and it all fell into place this last month. Your reading about someone who has no sales experience, and almost no people skills and if I can make RSD anyone can.

I want to take this opportunity to thank my family and my friends for supporting me, and most of all I thank God every day because he has definetely carried me through these first 4 months. Also, thank you to my IBOs that I have signed up into the business. We have a great team and all the resources are here for you to succeed, and when your feeling down or stumped about something always talk to your upline because we are here to see you succeed.

Debra Alfred, Regional Sales Director
Whoa! First Things First. "To God Be the Glory!" This is a moment I've longed and waited for. It seemed so far, but yet so close. I sign up with AmeriPlan® in January 2006. However, did not pursue the opportunity until six months later. I was a little apprehensive; simply because I had previously been involved with other Network Marketing Companies who said they would "Deliver". But Didn't. Not to mentioned being a target at family functions. You see, I come from a large close knit family, nine siblings to be exact. The four of my sisters would tease me saying things like..."I wonder what she's selling now. "Let me know when you make your first million" or "Do you ever get tired- "You just don't quit?. Do you? Needless, to say it was funny at the time. And I oftened laughed with them, because it was truly a JOKE! But I didn't want them to know it was. That would only add to the situation.

So six months later after signing up AmeriPlan®, I began to take a closer look at this opportunity and its benefits, and found it Sound and Solid! No Artificial Measures. I was impressed with the "State of the Art Training" at hand and it's Superb Marketing Strategies! Not to mention Susan Goodknight's unfolding "Congrats! RSD e-mails she sent out. It was then that I was convinced that God had blessed me with something inevitable. And there was no need for me to look any further! This business has enabled me to go to school FULL time and work FULL time. And still Game ON! Now that's Cooking With Gas! Which means my time is not consumed!

To my family... my new addition/ my husband (Lyndon) who has been very supportive listening to me talk about "AmeriPlan®- he would say day in and day out. "The Impetuous Susan Goodknight" Impetus- an Impelling Force of Energy! Who is like an" Ever Ready Battery"! Always Ready To Help. I called...You Answered. I e-mailed...You Responded. I said I'm going to do this Susan...You Said I Know You Will Girl" And I Did It! Yeah! Also thanks to Janie Jones for setting the trend along with Winnie Woody, Jean Stinich among many other team members for being supportive!

Words of Inspiration:

Together We Are A Force To Be Reckoned With! Moving In Motion With The Right Company At the Right Place In Time"

Winners NEVER Quit! And Quitters NEVER Win! See Yall At The Top!

Jessica Bogosian, Regional Sales Director
Yeah! I finally made it.. I'm so excited... My journey began back in October, 5 months after having my first child..Prior to finding AmeriPlan®, my whole life revolved around my music. I graduated with a Music Degree, attended Berklee College of Music and have spent most of my life performing and recording in bands (www.jessandave.com). My husband is an incredible guitar player and songwriter and also spent his entire life involved in Music. We continue to write, record and play out however, I had so many aspirations and dreams and at the time of finding AmeriPlan® I kind of wasn't sure where my life was going. AmeriPlan® has taught me so much about myself and has opened more doors for me in ways I can't even describe. The calls have opened up my mind and have forced me to remain positive even though times got tough. The past 6 months have changed me into a different person and I want to thank my husband, my wonderful parents for always supporting me, Sonja for always being there to answer all my questions and finally Brandi Magill. Thank you Brandi for sharing your ideas and also being there for me. To my IBO, Diane Weatherford, don't doubt yourself! You can do it! To all my IBO's, you guys know you can do it too! SRSD here I come.

Donna Hufnagel, Regional Sales Director
Wow Wee...when I look back at when I started with AmeriPlan®, making RSD seemed like something that was only happening to others. I immediately began putting everything I had into it. I have a 2 year old so I work when she naps during the day and at night when she is in bed. I guess you can say she dictates when mommy can work! She is my whole reason for everything I do in life. My victories are all dedicated to my daughter, Kara Nicole.

I have a wonderful IBO, Lisa Copeland who has been there to hear my victories as well as my frustrations. Amy Jacobs, I want to thank you for always taking your time to give me advice as well as bring me up when I was feeling down.

I truly love this role, talking to new people every day is so what I'm about. I feel I'm doing what I was meant to do and getting those checks every other day is just a fringe benefit! To my wonderful team of Brokers-You each have brought your own style to the table. You are not only my team but I have developed a friendship with each one of you. I have no doubt you will get to where I am very soon. You are all dedicated, motivated and ambitious. I am so proud to call you all my friends. Please keep up the good work and don't give up. Its ok to get discouraged because as my mom always said, what doesn't kill us makes us stronger and that's where I get my strength, in those words. The more discouraged I feel, the harder I work toward my goal. To all the new IBO's out there, you can succeed, you will succeed. You have to realize this is not a get rich quick position. Learn it, Love it, Live it. Show your passion for the company with each and every phone call you make and you will be recruiting IBO's left and right. Your belief and passion are contagious to others, that is my advice and I believe my key to success in this business. Well, I have my work cut out for me now because I'm ready for that next level-SRSD!

Melanie & Kevin Kosler, Regional Sales Director
Yipppeeee! *doing the happy dance* I'm a business owner! I never thought this day would come!

I found AmeriPlan® by total accident through my daughter when she signed up for the Medical Benefits. My daughter had a pre-existing condition and I was impressed with how AmeriPlan® could help her out. So I inquired about the business just out of curiosity.

When I spoke with Rebecca Lomis-Stephan the first time about the business I was already with another home-biz company and not really looking, just inquiring. I liked what I heard. After three months of pondering over AmeriPlan® I decided to give it a shot so I emailed Rebecca and told her I was ready. Lucky me it was during the $1 promotion in November 2006! What did I have to lose? I soon realized that AmeriPlan® was the way I wanted to go so I gave up the other company that I'd been with for 3 years so I could focus just on AmeriPlan®.

I work a full-time J.O.B. so for those of you that have to work it can be done. My best advice to those that are working towards RSD is, don't give up. Be persistent and consistent. Get out of your own way and step out of your comfort zone (it really doesn't hurt as much as you think it will). Ask for help when you need it. And I know you all have heard this a thousand times but I have to say it again because it's so true..."If I can do it, anyone can do it".

First and foremost I must thank GOD for answering my prayers when he sent me my Wonderful IBO...Rebecca Lomis-Stephan.

A special thank you goes to my IBO Rebecca Lomis-Stephan. She believed in me from the start even when I didn't believe in me. Because of all her help, advice, and encouragement, I have made it to RSD! On a personal note...Rebecca sometimes jokes around on our team meetings by introducing herself as our wonderful and very beautiful team leader (and of course we all laugh). I've met Rebecca personally and whether she knows it or not she really is a wonderful and very beautiful person inside and out. She is genuine and really cares about all her people and we are very lucky to have her as our team leader.

I'd like to thank my wonderful husband for not thinking I'm silly or giving me a hard time for starting yet ANOTHER home-biz and encouraging me right from the start and helping me anyway he could with this business financially or otherwise without complaint. I'd also like to thank Reginald Stinson for sharing pay-per-click with us on our FastTrack2RSD. Sara Vojtasek for taking time out of her busy schedule to help me understand how the bids on pay-per-click work and how to do it. And Sharon Ragland for her friendship and sharing some of her methods with me.

I'd also like to thank Janie Jones because I use her script and it WORKS! I have made it to RSD! Look out SRSD! Here I come! Oh yeah... I almost forgot...SEE YOU AT THE TOP!

Lisa Merry, Regional Sales Director
Wow! Where in the world do I begin! My goal was to be RSD in 30 days and I got it in 34 days! How I even came upon AmeriPlan® is a story all within itself! I am married with a 2 1/2 year old daughter! I have been in the "corporate america working world" since I was 16! Just recently, I resigned my office position to stay at home with Kara. My last day on the "work force" was yesterday, April 30th!! The day that I put my resignation notice in...I went to a job website and posted TONS of resumes! Within 12 hrs of doing that, my IBO...David Price called me and immediately, I was sold on AmeriPlan®! I signed up that evening and its been a speedy trip to RSD ever since!

First, I want to thank God for allowing me to have this opportunity to stay at home with my daughter! My husband, Chris who has been very supporative of my new adventure and helping me out so much with our daughter when I have been up late making calls and writing tons of post cards!! I want to thank each and every one of my team members, you guys are the best! My IBO's: Joyce, Amy, Vickie, and Gina, you too can succeed! Last but not least...What can I say... David Price, the best IBO in AmeriPlan®! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU..for believing in me, helping me, supporting me, encouraging me and reminding me daily that I had it in me!

I am looking forward to brighter and better days in my future with Ameriplan®; USA®!

Lyndsay Meier, Regional Sales Director
Wow! I finally made it! There were certainly days when I thought I would never get here, but with hard work, dedication and a whole team supporting me, I finally made it! First off I most certainly need to thank God, my Lord Jesus and Savior for showing me this opportunity and then equipping me to make this goal! 2 Corinthians 3:5 (amp) says, Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God. I know I couldn't have done this without Him! I also couldn't have done this without all my wonderful, hard working IBOs, my wonderful supportive husband, Adam, who even helped make some calls for me, great people in this team who have the true spirit of AmeriPlan® like Suzanne Phillips and my wonderful upline Amy Sun and Kristie Wooten! You two have been AWESOME! I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am on the best team in AmeriPlan®! Thank you all for all of your hard work, encouragement and help in helping me to reach this goal! I know this is just the first milestone in the business, but man it sure does feel good to be here!

For all your IBOs who are still working towards this goal keep on working! There were times when I felt like giving up and didn't want to do this anymore, but it will happen, you just have to stay focused! One of the best pieces of advice that I have received is "no call is a wasted call and no email is a wasted email". You may not see the results today or tomorrow, but one month or two months from now that person may call you back ready to sign up! You just never know! What will happen to those people if you quit? Someone else will reap the benefits! You never know what call will be the one to help you reach RSD or SRSD so keep on moving! Remember there are suddenlies that happen every single day. One day a person may be struggling to get by and the next day they won the lottery, you never know what is going to happen! Stay focused and keep your head up and the suddenlies will happen for you! Habukkuk 2:3 states, For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay.

In closing, YAY! RSD!! Now I think I am going to call and listen to my pin level on the broker support line! LOL!

Christi Worley, Regional Sales Director
I just wanted to say first that I would not have been able to acheive RSD without the support of my IBO of AnnMarie Sposato and my upline Stephanie Turner. Thank you so much! I hope my son knows that I have sacrificed a lot of my time with him these last several weeks so I can spend a lot more time with him in the near future. I also wanted to say that I am on a great team with lots of support. I could not have done this without that. Through this experience, I have gained a lot of self confidence, I am generally a shy person when it comes to talking to other people, but I have started to come out of my shell. I have acheive one of my goals, but I have not reached them all. I am still well on my way and looking forward to achieving my next goal of SRSD. I have come across many home based businesses, but never one that had such a great future to look forward to. I am so excited about the road ahead and look forward to working with my team up and down the line! Once again, I really appreciate everyone's help and support and can't wait to reach SRSD.

Melanie & Joey Dean, Regional Sales Director
WOW! We are so EXCITED and blessed to have been given this WONDERFUL business opportunity. We do feel the Lord helped us in making the decision to start AmeriPlan®.

We were approached about two and a half years ago with the opportunity and pushed it in the back of our minds. (We both were teaching public school and were also youth pastor's at our home church.) We did not feel we had the time to put into a business at that time. Then, my husband and I felt the call to go into full-time evangelism.

We quit our jobs, sold all we had and hit the road full-time for the sake of ministry. The Lord has wonderfully met all our needs, and has never let us down. However, there were times when we would have liked to have more spending money. We really wanted something to take that pressure off our minds, and help us focus more on the ministry part without the financial pressure that we were feeling. Well, WE FOUND IT! We are thankful, the Lord allowed us a second chance at starting the business. We appreciate our team and the hard work you are already doing. Keep it up and we will make this thing happen for all of us!

Thank you to our IBO Leah Wise, to Julie and Daniel Tharp, and to Jennifer and David Horton for helping us through the beginning stages of our business. You are wonderful leaders and friends. We are truly thankful for all the times you've allowed tons of phone calls through and answered all our questions! Jennifer, you and I have been friends for a long time, but I do appreciate the business side of you too! Thanks for all your Leadership abilities! I feel a fresh breath of air today and am ready to MAKE IT ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP!

Thanks AmeriPlan® for the Wonderful Opportunity!

Jennifer Renier, Regional Sales Director
What a great feeling! I want to thank my family for their love & understanding during my first steps with the company. My husband, Wade, who has been so supportive, and my two beautiful sons, Cole (4) and Lane (20 months), you guys have been so patient while Mommy works! I know this opportunity will give us so much more to look forward to! A big thanks to Rachelle Williams who introduced me to this business, and Susan Goodknight for your unwavering support and encouragement.

I work my AmeriPlan® business part time, and I have a lot on my plate. There were days when I felt like I was just spinning my wheels, but giving up was not an option. I hit some walls getting those last few members, but on the plus side, it allowed me the time to welcome a great group of people into this business!

To my team: Thank you for allowing me to share this amazing opportunity with you. You inspire me everyday to do my best and to help each of you reach your individual goals. I am so excited for each of you!

This is such a phenomenal company (even though I am still starting out) I can't imagine not having my AmeriPlan® business now! I look forward to sharing our benefits and opportunity with people everyday!

Something that helped me, and I hope will help you too, is to celebrate the things you do everyday to build your business as small victories and build on that momentum. Those daily efforts are paving the way for the results that will follow! And your goals and dreams are worth the effort!

Wow! Hallelujah! I made it. Thanks to my wonderful Sister Kathy. She is the best. I received a call one day from her saying that she found a work at home job and she wanted me to be a part of it. She explained it to me and I said, Okay sign me up, and she said as an IBO. My response was, sure whatever you need. I think she was about to pass out, because I was so whatever, about it all.

Kathy was always talking about her passion for AmeriPlan®, and I was saying things like thats nice, I'm glad you are, but Im not yet. Then of course Kathy wanted us to tell her our Why! and,I told her it was because of her. I wanted her to succeed, because she works so hard for AmeriPlan®. I would have to say she is the most dedicated, and hardest working lady I know. I am proud to call her my Sister and best friend, and anyone on her team is very blessed to have such a dedicated Christian leader.

I will say I was talking to a perspective IBO the other night and the greatest compliment I received was, I can tell you are passionate about AmeriPlan® and I owe it to Kathy Teese. God Bless you Sis. I love you and the AmeriPlan® family. Youre the best. Thank you for believing in me, until I could believe in myself. We are going to the top together. If you have a dream AmeriPlan® will make it happen.

Beverly Wagner, Regional Sales Director
I became an IBO with AmeriPlan® in October 2006. I was looking on the computer for dental benefits for my son. I decided to go to the computer as I was an insurance agent for 20 years and also a consumer and I knew there was not a good product out there for dental benefits.

My, soon to be, IBO phoned me back with the information I was looking for and then asked me what I do for a living. I advised her that I drove a semi-truck cross country and proceeded to tell her. I was sick of doing this, because I was NEVER home. Anyway, I passed out brochures across the country and put my first member on the books in January 2007. This was a person that could not get regular insurance due to pre-existing conditions.

I've spent four months laying the groundwork for my business. I talked to at least 10 people each day. I send postcards & brochures weekly. I keep good notes and listen to my prospects. I now have 6 brokers and 6 memberships. I have to say, common sense plays a big part in doing this business, listening to your prospect and being consistent. Do the same thing each day.

I have tried to be a team player with my upline. I've listened to them because they have all been where I am today. Educate yourself daily and I thank God for opening doors for me to Ameriplan®; USA® and the freedomeathometeam. I know I am doing something for people showing them a great product and ways to save money and showing some a new career and new way of life!

Rebecca McChesney, Regional Sales Director
WE did it! I made it to RSD! When I say WE, I mean WE. It was definitely a TEAM effort between me, Jennifer Roth, Colleen Gatto, Regina Morris and most of all My Lord Jesus Christ! I don't ever hesitate to tell people I am talking to about this Company that we are a team & we all work together because I know it first hand. I praise that Lord the He led me to see Jennifer Roth's ad at the appropriate time. I could not have asked for a better mentor, leader and friend in my life. I truly believe that the Lord put us together for a purpose. I know that we have accomplished a small portion of that purpose, but I also know that the Lord has even greater things in store for us. I claim the following verse from Habakkuk 1:5 "For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told." I have seen the Lord do some pretty amazing things in my life that I would have not believed beforehand even if I were told & I know He is going to continue to do such amazing things that even if I am told I would not believe for they are far too amazing and unbelievable!

I signed up with the Freedom At Home Team in November 2006 but did not start my training until after Christmas and did not start advertising until January 1st. I work full-time outside the home. I have two grown sons who live outside our home, one son who just finished his first year in College and a daughter who is graduating from High School this next week. So, I was not making RSD as fast as those around me on the team were and there were times I got discouraged. But I always had Jennifer there to cheer me on & help me over the humps. I fully believe that if I had not & do not go through trials & hard times then I won't be the kind of leader I need to be. If I don't have difficulties and hard times, how can I help other's through theirs? My goal is to be a blessing to others everyday and add value to their lives.

About a year ago, my wonderful husband of almost 28 years bought a 25' boat that had been ravaged by Hurricane Katrina. He is in the process of restoring it in his spare time and amazes me at the incredible work he can do. His dream is to retire in a couple of years and start a Charter Fishing Business. He is my best friend and my goal is to help him achieve his dream. I don't want us to have to worry about money & I want him to be able to retire and do the one thing he really loves to do, saltwater fishing. He also loves helping others relax, have fun and find joy in fishing.

I also want to thank Sara Vojtasek. She does not know me but when she made RSD she wrote in her testimony about her priority in keeping God first and that reminded me that I needed to do the same thing. To my team, you all are awesome & you are going to be incredible in this business. I know you are going to achieve great things! Thank you again to ALL those who have helped me achieve this first goal. I know it is only the first step and WE are going to have a great experience taking the next steps until WE meet our ultimate goals. Most of all, I thank you My Lord Jesus Christ.

Harvey Andersen, Regional Sales Director
WOW! WHAT A JOURNEY! After just missing previous goal dates to reach RSD, my prayers were finally answered when it all came together for me on May 3, 2007, my 75th Birthday! Thank you Lord!

I had actually signed up myself Online, before Stephanie Turner's call, after reading the Emails she sent me in response to an ad. The e-mails easily convinced me that finally I had found a "for real" home based business! This, I'm somewhat ashamed to say, was way back in late July 2006! I did not quickly and effectively plug into the training, plus there were a couple distractions in my life that contributed to my delay in getting started with the business.

However I never departed from my promise to still be involved in the AmeriPlan® business one year later. I always knew AmeriPlan® had a proven system to success, and finally accepted that "if it is to be it is up to me" (those most important ten two letter words)! Stephanie and Alan, it was when I connected with you as my sponsors, and really began to follow your tremendous training and leadership, that my business began to blossom! You two are the greatest! Every bit of advice you have given has proved to be right on target! It never ceases to amaze me, and has helped me to avoid pitfalls and committing repeated mistakes! You are highly motivated and devoted in continuing to fine tune and improve your great web site and training calls, and in introducing new business building ideas and tools. You always have the best interests and success of your team members in mind! Thanks so much!

Loads of thanks also to NVP's Janie and Michael Jones and all of the Freedom At Home Team members for contributing so much time and good training that benefits everyone on the team. I have gained so much from all of you. And finally thanks, Carol, my wonderful and loving wife, for your support and patience in the midst of your extremely busy professional schedule--especially in helping me with computer challenges and with calming my frustrations when needed! You are my "silent partner" but I could not succeed without you! I hope I can be an inspiration for other "senior citizens" and also for more men to achieve success with AmeriPlan®. ON TO SRSD!

Paula Casane, Regional Sales Director
I cannot believe it; I am so excited to make RSD!

I am wife and mother of two daughters (16 years old and 7 months old). I was an investment advisor for 5 years in Sarasota, Florida. When I had my daughter in September of 2006; I knew that I could not return to work. In January of 2007, I came across Anita?s ad in our local newspaper. From the moment I talked to Anita, I knew this business was for me. It took me a few months to make RSD, but it was so worth every ounce I put in to it.

My advice to new brokers: sign up for FAST TRACK! It will help you form the habits that you need to be successful. I want to thank all of my fellow trackees for all of your help. Also, listen to as many training calls as you can. I pick up pieces of information from EVERY call that I am on. One last thing, "Quitting is not an option." I want to thank the Fast Track leaders: Anita, Rebecca, Melissa, Chris and Michelle for all of your help. Thanks for putting up with me through two classes! I finally got some olive oil!

I would also like to thank Janie Jones for being such a great leader. I love getting your emails every week, especially the Daffodils! To my team: WE are going to the top! Just keep filling your pipeline.

Dear Anita: You are an amazing woman! I feel so lucky to have you as my IBO! You have been a wonderful leader and I cannot thank you enough for everything that you have done for me! Thanks for listening to me and encouraging me to move on when my first two IBOs cancelled! Thank you for always being there when I need you.

Thank you to my wonderful husband and my amazing daughters, they are my whys! I am a lucky woman to have them in my life. SRSD here I come!

Ashley Dempsey, Regional Sales Director
My name is Ashley. I am a newlywed and a stay at home mommy. I have MY daughter Arwynn, my step daugher Aviana (every other weekend), and OUR newborn son Skyler. The girls are only 8 months apart and in their terrible 2's so its really hard to concentrate on working with so much excitement. I'm only 20 years old and FINALLY made RSD. It took me about 1 ½ years to get my life together well enough to start building my business since I signed on. My 2 yr anniversary with the company will be in Sept. '07 and I'll be SRSD or higher by then. he he Seriously though! When I signed up I was a single mom with no job, no car, no childcare, and $700 rent. I thought I could just start making money immediately but soon realized I had to build my business and it takes TIME. I've been waitressing part-time since then and got married to a great WORKING man. (There's not many of those out there anymore!) We have a nice apartment with a computer, phone, and Internet so now I can actually work. My son is a month old and I just made RSD. I know now how easy it is to sign people up and how great this opportunity is for everyone! I want to bring my husband home from working out of town in the plants so he can be with his family and actually help me raise our children instead of watching them grow up behind his back. I'm excited for our future and know that our children will never have to endure poverty. I'm just taking everything step by step and will be NSD; making $100K in NO TIME! Game on!

Amy Blizzard, Regional Sales Director
Well, I made it to RSD! Onward and upward! I am so glad Kelly called me and helped me get started with this company! I sat on the fence for 2 weeks before deciding if this was the right fit for me. I needed something that would fit with my daughter's schedule, allow me to be here for my son when he needed me (he is finishing in 12th grade and homeschooled), and make enough money to allow me to help out with my daughter's private school education costs.

AmeriPlan® has been exactly what this stay at home Mom of 18 years needed! I finally have something that I can call "my own". Being home with kids all these years has been such a blessing, but it can rob you of your identity. You forget who you are, and think your name is only "Mom" or "Honey". I found Amy again!

I knew this was the right fit, when, upon talking to my neighbor at the mailbox, whose husband is a California Police Officer, informed me that she had to take some jobs cleaning houses to help pay for the $5000 braces her son needed. I knew AmeriPlan® would save her over half! My son's employer was going out of business, and hundreds of people would be out of a job, all were worried they couldn't afford the Cobra coverage costs to extend their benefits. I knew they could afford AmeriPlan®. And then, the clincher, upon my Mother-in-Laws mentioning to my Sister-in-Law that I was considering signing up AmeriPlan® as a broker, and that she hadn't heard of it before, my sister-in-law promptly mentioned that not only had she heard of it, but was a member herself and had been for some time! The rest, as they say, is history!

Thank you, first and foremost, to God for pointing me in the right direction. Thank you to my wonderful husband, who is my biggest support and cheerleader! Thank you to my kid's for understanding when Mom's office door is closed, notes are better than voices! Thank you to Kelly Fuller, the fabulous gal that rescued me from my mundane existence, for all the encouragement and fantastic leadership. You are the best! Thank you Janie, for taking time out of your day to call and encourage us little people, You Made My Day!

My advice to anyone out there, Don't Give Up! If you think you are going to make one more call today, make it two. If you plan on listening to one training call, plug in to a recorded one also. Don't just read a magazine, read The Slight Edge, or another motivational book! Believe in yourself! You can do anything you set your mind to! Celebrate all the victories, both large and small! Onward and Upward! SRSD, HERE I COME!

Chrissy Lubbock, Regional Sales Director
My first thanks, THANK YOU GOD! Just shy of 2 months since I signed up with AmeriPlan®. I can't recall ever being so determined, focused and committed to any other career in my life, and not to mention having so much fun! You just can't help waking up in the morning ready to get started. For any IBO's going through a tough stage, keep your head up, keep believing, and when you think you have hit a dead end, go to your training web site... there are many things to learn there and I always seem to find something that I hadn't seen before. Listen to the conference calls! Our team is AWESOME, FRIENDLY, and always there to help.

I Couldn't have done it without my faith in the Lord and the faith that my girl Sheneequa Marro, my IBO, has in me. Without her confidence in me I'd still be struggling. So thank-you so much Sheneequa for all those little pushes along the way of success! I want to thank my husband, though he works nights his 2 days off during the week he has been taking care of EVERYTHING from sun up to sun down so I can give my work 100%. My poor kids, having to give up the computer, I think they have figured out that they WILL live with out it.

I know I have just begun with AmeriPlan®, but I gotta say, I have had so much fun and I can't wait to see how far I can go with the company, and can't wait to meet everyone along the way!

Leah Brander, Regional Sales Director
I'm so excited to be here! First I have to thank my husband Brian because if it were not for my him, I wouldn't have found AmeriPlan®. He was searching online for something for me to do at home, and he came across an ad Kelly had placed, so we requested an interview. I was definately skeptical, because we had been down that road before, but after talking with Kelly, we knew there was something special about AmeriPlan®. I had been at home with my 5 year old since the day she was born and I wanted to keep it that way. I knew that this company was a way for me to build a future for my family and eventually bring my husband home. So he can also pursue his dreams, like writing his first book, and work alongside me.

Thanks to everybody that created the Freedom at Home Training website and all of the training calls, you guys are AWESOME! Also the yahoo group, there is always so much helpful information, I would not be here if it wasn't for all the support and training. To everybody on my team and others trying to reach for RSD, it's so important to plug into the training and Never Ever Give Up! A special thanks to Kelly Pira my IBO, I look forward to being the leader that you have become! Next Stop, SRSD!

Jeannie Jordon, Regional Sales Director
Three years ago I decided to become a stay at home mom and left my job at Ford Credit when my first daughter was born. I loved being at home with her and felt blessed with the opportunity to keep her out of day care. Soon an opportunity came about and we purchased a restaurant. After 2 ½ years, we sold it...broke. Savings, gone. Investments, gone. I had used everything, especially credit cards to keep it afloat. My husband had been begging me to sell it for a year but I was DETERMINED to make it work.

When we sold it, I was 8 months pregnant and in debt close to 6 figures. Now, how were we going to pay the bills! Who would hire me being 8 months pregnant? I didn't know how to help with this mess I had created. Every night I would watch my husband pass out in the chair, after working his own business for 15 hours to bring in the extra money for the bills I created. He was going to kill himself working like this.

Every night I would pray that the Lord would put something in front of me that would allow me to work at home to be with my children AND dig out of the financial nightmare that hung over us like a storm cloud. A friend of mine had given me a copy of HBC Magazine and THERE IT WAS! Ameriplan®; USA®!

I signed up and haven't looked back. I have certainly had a few bumps along the way and stalled many times over the past few months, but I never gave up trying. I am determined to make this work for my family; determined to contribute financially to the mess I created, determined to stay home and raise my kids; determined to help my husband who has always been there to help me.

I want to thank my husband for believing in me. At first, it was "You're going to do another one of those??" But, he changed his mind. He has even helped me by signing most of my members! I sometimes even hear him talking to people about the benefits, working at home and "this thing Jen is doing". Thank you for adding this to the already hectic schedule you endure to help me along. Thank you honey, I love you.

Thank you to my beautiful little Emily (3 years) who is learning to quietly play in the office while I am working. I am so proud of her. I often hear her playing with a cell phone while sitting in front of the computer, saying she is working to make money. And to my little Gabrielle (3 months) who smiles that beautiful toothless smile, in her bouncer, while I am working. My family is my inspiration and daily reminder of why I am doing this.

Thank you to my sister, who is also one of my brokers. We have spent countless hours, at all hours of the day and night, trying to figure this out. I guess we have decided this is the easiest and hardest thing we have ever done. I appreciate your encouragement and your determination. WE WILL MAKE IT...TOGETHER. Love ya, sis!

To my team: pursue your goals and dreams. NEVER give up. You saw a glimmer of something hopeful when you sign up, maybe more money, more time with your family...whatever it was, let us help you. That is why we are a team....there is no I in team...we will do it together!

Last, but certainly not least, Michael Dennehy, my IBO. Thank you for making my success personal. Thank you for your encouraging words, e-cards and making yourself available at all times to help Finally, thank you for leading me down the path of a better life for my family!

Lula Dillon, Regional Sales Director
First giving GOD the highest Praise of Hallelujah! It took me 10 weeks to reach RSD. Thank you God. My story is a little different from most. I was introduced to AmeriPlan® 7 years ago and did not follow through. I decided to go out to the site and take another look after hearing a member brag and boast about the savings she and her family were receiving. That is when I made my decision to try the business again and I am glad I did.

I have read so many stories of others talking about and thanking their mentor(s), but I am here to tell you all that you have the rest, but I have the best. (Kathleen Strooband). Kathleen, Thank you for not letting me quit. Thank you for your unwavering support and encouragement. You are truly a testimony of what God has put us here on this earth to do and that is to help others. I am truly grateful to you as you have much compassion for others. I will lead by the example you have set forth before me. I could not have done this without you. I know without a doubt God placed you in my life.

Brandon, thank you for the many miles you walked helping me to pass out flyers until your legs ached, lol. I am forever grateful.

Thank you to my daughter Shanell for you love and encouragement. Your support means the world to me. Mommy is striving for that 6 figure income so that she can help you pay off the student loans you are accumulating. Thank you to my IBO Derrica, we are all going to the top together.

Its a little harder doing the business when you work a full time job, but you must make the sacrifice and stay consistent because you get out of it what you put in to it. In the end, it will all pay off. Luckily for me, I love doing the business and my plan is to replace my income and retire from my job and do the business full time.

GOD BLESS AND GODSPEED TO MY ENTIRE AMERIPLAN® FAMILY

Nicole & Lenox Mashingaidze, Regional Sales Director
Wow, we made it to RSD. We first want to thank Kim our IBO for being such an awesome example. Also this team has amazing training so thanks to all those people who

Participate in our training. At this point we are so humbled by this opportunity. We have both personally started lots of businesses in our lifetime. Mainly in the real estate industry and none of those businesses where we able to start for just $50.00 we were lucky if we had a start up cost under 15,000. So this is truly a blessing to us. We see the potential and are excited about our future with this company. We also want to encourage everyone else on this team no matter were you are in the business to BELIEVE, BELIEVE, BELIEVE. It is only thru your beliefs (faith) that you are able to make your dreams come true.

Oh and we and we can't forget to thank our kids Christian, Tinashe, and Michael for all their patience and understanding during this time of building our business.

Bob Bottari, Regional Sales Director
Well, Well RSD for me, what a trip it's been and I have only took my first few steps. The best part is that there is so much to come yet and look at all the superstars that not only I have met but so many that I haven't met and the new superstars that are rising already, that is what is so exciting about our business at Ameriplan®; USA®. I had researched companies for the last 2 years, and after a lot of praying, my path was shown to me and it headed right to Ameriplan®; USA®. I will never forget the Sunday night I called my IBO Rebecca Lomis-Stephan and it was late, she had just came home from Champions Weekend and really didn't have the energy to answer the phone.( I can't wait to get to a Champions Weekend one of these times in the near future) but do to her husband Ron and his Due Diligence, he said " come on honey answer the phone," and when Rebecca did she was very professional like she always is she said Hello this is Rebecca with AmeriPlan® and I said Hi this is Bob Bottari please sign me up for the $250.00 package. What a hard sell I was.

But seriously the greatest thing is how we are family and we all help each other and have a lot of fun laughing and not being serious all the time. Anyone can do this, you don't have to a sales person either. I truly believe we here at AmeriPlan® are among the 10% that are willing to take the chance to understand the infinite possibilities of our future!

I just want to thank everyone that helped me along the way, great leaders such as., Michelle Dawodi, Chris Taylor, Melissa Gott, Anita G. Houser, Reginald Stinson, Janie Jones and my favorite of all Rebecca Lomis-Stephan.

Thank you all so Much,
Now let's get back in the 4-wheeler and keep going up this small mountain to the top!

Cindy Miller, Regional Sales Director
Hello to each of you. I am thrilled to have achieved Regional Sales Director. This is the very first goal I wanted to achieve with AmeriPlan®. Let me go ahead and tell you "why" I am here.

I worked for a major newspaper in a competitive market for over 6 years and was vested. This is a company where I was responsible for building a department that didn't exist and was in charge of budget, hiring, training, coaching a team of representatives in the Retention department. Customer service was critical. Over the course of my employment I was diagnosed with cancer. I went through 2 surgeries and almost a year's worth of chemotherapy while going to work part-time. I saw changes begin to happen and I knew it wouldn't be long before out-sourcing was inevitable. Nobody really wants to believe it's happening-- you always feel that it's more off in the distant future. There were no other open positions as there was a hiring freeze. Thus began my search for something--something else.

I decided that the corporate world as I once knew it was no longer a stable atmosphere. I didn't want to return to long commutes, long hours and un-appreciative bosses. I found myself amazed at what many people go through trying to secure health insurance. I couldn't get any, but could get COBRA. Can you say cha-ching? I continue paying these high COBRA prices so that I do not have a break in my insurance coverage. Most people can't afford to do that. Most healthy people can't afford to pay for individual health insurance. Most families can't either.

When I spoke with my IBO, Joan Castillo, I knew there was something very special about this company. This is something that I would be passionate about and find rewarding to do. I would be responsible for building my own business through AmeriPlan®. All I had to do is follow the training and be consistent. Of course, I faced challenges. In anything you do those will always be there. It's how you handle them that makes the difference. There is a learning curve in starting anything. No two people will do the same, but many have the ability to be successful.

There are so many people I'd like to thank— I fear leaving someone out! Thank you to everyone on the Prosperity and Freedom at Home Teams. Their friendship and support is immeasurable.

A favorite quote: "A person doesn't become old until his regrets take the place of his dreams." ~John R. Noe

To each of my IBO's, we are going onward and upward!

Brad & Sally Bradley, Regional Sales Directors
We are really excited about having reached the RSD level in four and one-half months and feel that God has truly blessed us. And we must say that we owe a debt of gratitude to Kelly Roberts for her patience, understanding, support, and always being there for us when we needed help.

Both of us are retired from our previous careers. Sally was in retail for 26 years, and Brad was in the plastics industry for 36 years. After retiring, Brad decided to try teaching, which he is still doing. He is looking forward to the day when he will be able to work full time with Sally. Together we have tried several other work-at-home businesses but found that AmeriPlan® has everything that we were really looking for - the opportunity to help a large number of people. We want to thank AmeriPlan® for this opportunity and for the excellent on-line training and especially for the conference training calls conducted by Stephanie and Alan Turner each week.

We are proud to be part of the Freedom At Home Team!

Barbara Labella, Regional Sales Director
Wow! I made my first goal and made it to RSD within 3 months. I could not have made it without the support and help of my husband Mark who is my salesman and partner for life, my daughter Taylor who is patient with me and helps me in all that I do, my wonderful IBO, Kim Schilt, without her I would not be in this wonderful company making my dreams come true, my upline, especially Tina Sarnicola, without her I would still be chugging along at a snails pace and not with a renewed fire in my soul. I just have such a wonderful team behind me that all I see in the future is goal after goal being reached. I am so thankful for the day that I was looking for Health Insurance for my husband and landed on Kims ad. Kim had such an upbeat and positive attitude about the business that when I signed on with her I immediately became an IBO instead of just a member. Am I glad that I did! If you ever think that you are at the end and are about to give up, don't. Look to your new family and let them know your struggles. There is always help for you, it is just a phone call or email away. Stay consistent even thought at times it seems that you are getting nowhere, it is filling your "pipeline" and will come back to you when you least expect it. There are highs in this business, so there will be lows. Stick with it and listen to your team, you will do it and reach the goals that you have set for yourself. The training is there and it is amazing.

Thank you all, for without you all, I would not be RSD!

We are proud to be part of the Freedom At Home Team!

Wow! Regional Sales Director that sounds so good it just rolls off your tongue! I have arrived and this is just the beginning of my amazing journey! I knew this day was going to happen there was no doubt about that, it was just a matter of WHEN and quitting was NEVER an option! First and foremost, I have to thank GOD for bringing this awesome opportunity into my life. He knew that I needed this and led me right to the website of course I have to say he used my daughter as a servant to get me there. Whatever the case I am so blessed to have found this company. Jennifer Thank You so much for always being there for me. Even when I was having my pity parties and I drug you into the party without your consent you were still a good sport!

Jennifer You are such an inspiration to me and one of the most generous and kindest people I have met.

That is the beauty of this company you can go as far as you want! The sky is the limit..See you all at the top because there is room for EVERYONE!

Kimberly Belzer, Regional Sales Director
I started with AmeriPlan® at the end April. I am a single mother of a 3.5 year old disabled boy who just last year was diagnosed with cancer. Before starting with AmeriPlan® I was a real estate paralegal for 10 plus years. When my son was diagnosed last year I did not know what I was going to do. I searched and searched for something to do at home and tried a couple of things in the legal field and nothing seemed to work out. I knew I needed to do something, but my goal was to find something that allowed flexibility for me to be able to be home to care for my son. I then came across an advertisement on the internet and answered it. I called and spoke to my IBO Debbie Tuley. I was so nervous about the $50 and expressed it over and over to Debbie. She was very kind, patient and honest and she was the reason I ended up signing up. She put my mind at ease, and that was not easy for me because I am skeptical by nature. When I started my business I would wake up every morning and say I am going to give this my all because AmeriPlan® has to work and be the answer to my prayers and sure enough it was. I only had limited amount of time to offer AmeriPlan®, but I put that time to good use practicing talking to people about AmeriPlan®.

With Debbie's and Becky's guidance I was able to make RSD quickly. I remember Debbie telling me you can tell whether someone is going to be successful by when they fall and have setbacks but they still get back up. Will literally 2 weeks ago me and my son took a fall leaving Longhorns and ended up in the hospital. Thankfully we are both okay, with me some foot and ankle problems. I am on crutches for 6 weeks. The important thing is that because of people like Debbie, Becky and some other really nice IBO's I have had the pleasure of meeting and talking to I did get back up and I am back full force promoting my new favorite business. I am very thankful to Debbie for her prayers for me and my son and her complete support of me in my AmeriPlan® business.

YIPPEEEE! That pretty much sums it up for me on how I feel! I did it I really did it of course with the help of 3 wonderful people and a great company but I DID IT! Nadia Clark, Regional Sales Director - doesn't that just sound awesome! Well to me it does anyway.

May 2nd 2007 is when AmeriPlan® came into my life and I thank God every day for that. I was depressed and desperate felt like I had no identity and purpose. I tried numerous home based business and like many could relate to lots of money was going out and nothing was coming in. I was becoming a serial MLMer. I was ready to give up on home based businesses when I saw an ad and figured what the heck lets request an interview. Well I received a call from Tammy and I think it took a whole 5 mins before I knew that I wanted in with this company. Help others with a much needed service and get paid residual income SIGN ME ON! I signed on that morning and started working my business that morning. I started calling and emailing everyone I knew and put a game plan together. Three days into the business my husband said to me I have my wife back; oh I still cry thinking about those words. I'm not going to say this was/going to be easy but hard work doesn't scare me failure does. See I'm putting in the long hours and sacrificing some things but the 2-4 year plan just sounds so much better to me then a 40+ year plan. Plus when I walk in my office every morning my dream board is staring at me and any time I feel down I look up and it always changes my attitude. I know what I want and need and nothing will get in my way but the great thing is that I am part of a company that will help me get to where I want to be.

Now I would like to thank 3 wonderful people that without them I am not sure how this could have happened. Winnie thanks for your uplifting words and emails. You're my Jersey girl and I appreciate all you've done for me. Tammy, where do I begin you've been an awesome trainer, coach, sponsor, friend etc. You have made this so worthwhile and I'm so happy to be on your team. You're a wonderful person and I will always be grateful for all you've done for me. I am always learning something new with both of you. Thank you so much guys. We will all be at the top together!!!! And of course a special thanks to my husband Kevin for just being so supportive and giving me the opportunity to do this. You always believed in me and you always knew that I would find myself even at my lowest times. Thank you for pushing me and not letting me give up. I love you and I will make you proud!

See you all at the top!

Diane Weatherford, Regional Sales Director
RSD. This is the most AMAZING experience I have ever had! Working AmeriPlan® while meeting such caring people all across the Nation! My inspiration came from my father! While he was in the hospital fighting cancer I watched and listened as many people came by to visit and still ask his advice on their problems. He told me he loved helping people! That's when I knew, I wanted to help people. My father went to be with JESUS in 2005, and I started my search. I found Janie Jones ad in 2006 and called her. As I was talking with her I felt everything fall into place. I just knew this is where I needed to be. God brings blessings into our lives when we need them. So, most of all I want to THANK JESUS! ...and second I want to THANK SONJA! I know I would not have made RSD without her leadership!

I also want to thank Jessica Bogosian, my first RSD on my front line for all of her encouragement and support. And to Janie Jones. thanks for the vitimins of inspiration, Becky Blacka for her time on all the calls and Mark Jarvis for his faith in God and sharing his faith with us! Onward to SRSD!

Ask, and it will be given to you; Seek, and you will find; Knock, and it will be opened to you. Luke 11:9

It's been a long time coming, but I knew this day would get here. First and foremost, I have to thank my Creator for this business, and also my IBO "Renee Winans". Thank you Renee... for everything! You were always there when I needed you. Answering my phone calls, e-mails, and for your awesome team meetings. I found AmeriPlan® one night after searching the web for months for a work at home opportunity.

I tried countless of work at home jobs but none could deliver on the promise. I did a lot of research on the company before I made that call to Renee and I knew this was for me. She also explained to me what the company was about. I must have been the easiest call she did that day because I signed up right away. The company provides you with everything you need to succeed, and they have unlimited training. I like this company because it allows you to help people save money on their health benefits and help people make money working from home. Anyone can do this business with a little time and determination. To all IBO's; keep that determination and you will see results.

I actually signed up in August 2006. Some distractions occurred and that delayed me in going on with the business. However, quitting was never an option. I resumed working the business in March 2007 and here I am today "Regional Sales Director".

I also would like to thank Pennie Berk for her training calls and her news letters, and Janie Jones for her e-mails and vitamins for the mind. Signing up with AmeriPlan® is the best thing I ever done regarding home business. I am headed toward financial freedom with this company. My next destination is SRSD.

Barb Kanes, Regional Sales Director
I MADE IT! It has been a bit of a challenge with a computer that has had virus, and a few other obstacles, but I wouldn't trade it as Stacey and I would laugh over Instant Messenger on many nights! Hard work TRULY pays off and thanks for the COMMITMENT from my IBO, Stacey Hill! I am SO happy and thankful that I did it! My goal was to become RSD within the first month of my business! It took just a couple weeks longer and it was WELL WORTH IT! I am so EXCITED!

This was a WONDERFUL surprise: After I placed my FIRST piece of business the Bloom Brothers sent me a copy of The Slight Edge! READ IT, MAKE TIME FOR IT! This book teaches "baby steps". We all need to remember that so we don't become overwhelmed. If we can remember that, it will keep us going! If you haven't read it, take the time and read only a couple of pages each night, it's ADDICTING and very helpful!

I would like to say special thanks to my IBO, Stacey Hill, who has helped me so MUCH along the way and answered NUMEROUS questions on a continual basis for many weeks! As a matter of fact, I really made her "work" to sign me up! Unfortunately, Stacey and I met after I had tried between 8-10 home based businesses over the last 12 years (and some were scams), she got me on the LAST one that I was going to try and it took her about 4 months of continual talking, emailing, etc. to sign me up! She was PERFECT as she waited and gave me the space that I needed, but was always there to answer my CONSTANT questions! I wouldn't be here without her! She is always there to CONGRATULATE and encourage me! Sometimes it isn't easy to do this business, just keep plugging along, IT PAYS OFF! Stacey, thank you for your patience!

I learned so much in Fast Track! This is a continuous journey of learning and working! Just do a little each day and it TRULY pays off! I was able to sign up 10 members within my first 3 weeks with my flyers! They WORK!

Thank you to my NEW TEAM of IBOs, I am committed to helping each of you make it to RSD also! I know you are capable of more than you think and I look forward to us working together in the years to come and growing our team!

I love the opportunity that we have with AmeriPlan®! It is the one true, ethical, logical home-based business! I am actually making money! But money isn't what it is all about; it is about helping people who need our service, motivating our own teams and experiencing the growth of accomplishing something worthwhile!

What a great feeling to be a RSD! I did it! Look out SRSD, here I come!

Jean Miller, Regional Sales Director
I am excited about my promotion to Regional Sales Director. It took longer than expected; however, I have to remind myself that races are not always won by the people who are first out of the blocks.

I signed up with AmeriPlan® on December 31, 2006 and became an active broker on January 2, 2007. For the first month, I didn't make a presentation to anyone as I wanted to familiarize myself with the business. My first month was spent listening to numerous training calls and reviewing various scripts. On February 1, I was ready to share this great business opportunity with all I encountered in addition to helping people who did not have any health coverage.

These past six months working the AmeriPlan® business have been likened to a roller coaster ride. The ups and downs and twists and turns are all part of what makes the ride exciting and exhilarating. While I am enjoying this ride, I am at a crossroads as I work full-time in Corporate America. I love my career and have come to love AmeriPlan® as well. I enjoy the camaraderie of the freedom at home team and the refreshing comments that are shared among the team.

To the leaders of this great team, thank you for your continuous coaching and sharing of knowledge to help us grow our business. I have learned so much about leadership and patience from you. To my IBO, Helene, you have been so helpful with your encouragement and motivation. I appreciate you very much. To my team, thank you for seeing the vision and coming on board to take a ride on this journey. I promise to help you reach your goals.

What I love the most about his business is, there is no glass ceiling. There is room for all at the top. You just have to put in the effort and use the slight edge techniques toward pursuing your goals. What I'm trying to say is, onward and upward to SRSD.

Sedi Devoe, Regional Sales Director
It's a miracle! I have finally arrived! I can not even begin to explain how excited I am about finally reaching this point in my business. I started last July when I was 8 months pregnant and had a 3 year old daughter at home. Once I found this business I wanted to get started right away even though I knew that I would run into some obstacles (i.e. lack of time J) once my new baby was born, but I didn't care, this was it and I really wanted to make it happen. It hasn't been the easiest road, as many of us know, but I always knew it would happen and that quitting was NEVER an option! I have learned so much during this journey, most importantly that if I have patience with my business, and if I am persistent with my efforts, it will work for me!

I do want to thank my wonderful IBO! Denise you rock! Thank you for your constant faith and encouragement. I am so glad it was you that contacted me! And I also want to thank everyone on my team for having VISION and signed me up on this journey. I believe in all of you and know that you can get everything you want out of this business! It's just out there, waiting for you to go get it!

Big thanks also to my NSD Pennie Berk and the whole FAHT organization. This team is so supportive and has so much helpful information, I never feel alone.

I'm so excited for what is to come and can't wait to grow my business! Thanks again!

Christie Settlemir, Regional Sales Director
Wow! I can't even sleep I am so pumped about AmeriPlan®! Here I am 6 and a half weeks later RSD! Sometimes I felt like I would never make it. With the help and inspiration of my upline I did. First I have to thank God because I could never have achieved this first goal without my faith and believing in Him. I have a lot of criticism and lack of confidence from my family, and I have to thank Terri Medine for all the love and support she has shown me during this first step! She always told me to NEVER give up and to keep at it. Shona Hill and Kelly Fuller have been just awesome. We are so lucky to have them as our mentors. All I can tell people is to stay in contact with your IBO and to remember your why. My children are my why as they are for so many of us. Just look in their faces and know that because of AmeriPlan® all our futures are brighter. I also want to tell my IBO's that all they can do is just keep at it and NEVER get discouraged.

Nicole Gates, Regional Sales Director
I have to thank my son because without him I wouldn't have had to look for a stay at home opportunity he is my why and my WORLD. I owe my boyfriend and best friend a million thanks for letting me try AmeriPlan® and having faith in me. Next I owe Amy a million thank yous for her support, faith in me, training tips, help, and enthusiasm for the business. THANK YOU AMY! I would also like to thank Paige and Becky for their help and amazing training calls. I owe my sister a thank you for finally giving in and signing up, I've been working on her for months! Thanks Rene! I love you. Thank you everyone who has been involved in my success. I look forward to getting my next promotion and evenyually making enough money to stay home. I'm off to the next step!

Donald & Sherlena Brown, Regional Sales Directors
Hallelujah, We made it to RSD! Donald and Sherlena Brown of Garland Texas. One thing that kept us from giving up is repeating to ourselves "Believe it and Receive it. With Gods help all things are possible." And our team leaders Ken and Kathy Teese words of encouragement. "Do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promises" Hebrews 6:12. Everything did not come over night, there was/is a learning curve. But with the help of our leaders and the master training web site, and believing in yourself, you can and will make it to the top and fulfill your dream with Gods help. Being a team player and being part of awesome team is powerful! God Bless. Believe It and Receive It. With Gods help all things are possible.

Maureen & Dan Nowack, Regional Sales Directors
Wow! This is so exciting! What a great feeling it is to have achieved my first of many promotions! It took until Champion's Weekend to really have everything "click" and fall into place for me. I knew from the beginning, in October of 2006, that this company was right for me. I continue to believe this and know in my heart that it won't be long before I can "fire my boss"!

When I started with AmeriPlan® my husband was hesitant. Numerous times over the years we tried home-based business' and found out they were scams or not what they led you to believe. I researched AmeriPlan® for close to a month and after many calls to my awesome IBO, Laura Cloose, I made the decision to sign up. I am so glad I did! I wasn't able to find anything negative, and believe me, I looked hard. Everything about the company just felt right. My husband and I attended Champions Weekend this year and were blown away by all the wonderful, normal, everyday people, just like Us, that were making their dreams come true and finding their financial freedom. My husband was convinced that we had finally found an honest-to-goodness, legitimate, home-based business and one that we were able to help others with a much needed service, to save money and make money as well. My husband is now my business partner!

My "why" is my wonderful husband, children and grandchildren. Our youngest of 5 is graduating from high school this year and throughout our childrens growing-up years my husband and I have both worked two jobs to make ends meet. We had to use daycare for many of those years which was so hard leaving our children with someone else to raise. It was difficult to balance everything and still spend quality time with the kids. We worked hard and made family our priority. Unfortunately, we are no further ahead financially after all our hard work and college. We continue to live paycheck to paychek and work long hours. I want to have the financial freedom as well as "time freedom" to spend with my children and grandchildren. I want to be able to help them so they will not have to struggle in ways that my husband and I have over the years.

I want to thank my IBO, Laura Cloose for all her help, support and patience while I learned this business. She has become a good friend. I have had the pleasure to get to know several people from the "Freedom at Home Team" and thank them for their friendship and encouraging words. The Freedom at Home Team is awesome with their extensive training and support. I couldn't ask for more, they offer everything!

I have found that AmeriPlan® is truly a company that cares about all of us and really wants everyone to succeed. I continue to be excited about building my business and look forward to the next phase of this journey. SRSD is just around the corner. Game on!

Linda & Doug Douglas, Regional Sales Directors
We knew this would feel good and boy does it ever! This is so much better than getting a promotion at a regular "JOB". When you have a "JOB" and want a raise, it's all up to the boss when or if you get one. And each year you can look forward to at least a few dollars more per week. You always think you're worth a lot more but you take it and say "Thank You". After all, what choice do you have?

Both my husband and I have had to deal with this type of situation most of our lives, as do many other people. A few months ago we decided-no more of this-enough is enough?

I found Anita Houser's ad on the internet in Jan.07, then signed up a few days later after several conversations with both Elizabeth Carter and Tiffany Ivy. I had many questions but they were patient and gave me all the room I needed to make my decision.

I had tried several "work at home-own you own business" ventures but they always fizzled out. My husband, Doug, always supported my tries.

I guess he knew one day that I would strike gold and he was right. When I told him about finding AmeriPlan®, he said stop talking about it and just sign up already! He knew we had struck our gold mine!

My husband has worked in retail most of his life, so he's a real "people person" and a natural for this business. My work history is in health claims and medical billing. I have worked at hospitals, HMO's and an independent insurance agency. I am also a Florida licensed insurance agent for Life and Health. My forte has always been in customer service, helping people get the services they needed. At my last job I was the "go to person" or nicknamed the "fixer" by my co-workers!

Now I can really help people and also help our family directly. No more dollar raises for a job well done. Our WHY letter was about stabilizing our financial future for once and for all. Our so called golden years are coming faster than a freight train.

We have a great team, starting from the bottom all the way to the top. I have never been involved with a group of more supportive or positive people, always giving encouragement and genuine in their belief that we can succeed.

Thanks to Anita Houser, Elizabeth Carter, Reginald Stinson, Rebecca Lomis-Stephan, Tiffany Ivy and all the IBOS who shared their ideas and experiences on the many conference calls.

Remember this always shoot for the moon because even if you miss-you'll land among the stars.

Jacquie Hebb, Regional Sales Director
I just want to thank my Lord Jesus Christ first and foremost.Thank you for putting this opportunity in front of me when I was praying for a solution to our situation. You give me life and life more abundantly. God never stops amazing me!

I'm so excited to have made it to this first goal of RSD! It has felt like a long journey to get here but when I look back it really hasn't been. It has been learning and preperation only for the things to come. I have learned to overcome so many obstacles that had come against me along the way. Now looking back, I can see where I've been.

Proverbs 24:16

"For though a righteous man falls seven times, he rises again!"

You learn no matter what. Just keep getting back up! God will always be there to help you when you fall down.

~ Never fear the unknown- take the risk!

~ If you don't ever try, how will you know if you ever could have succeeded

~Don't ever give up when your circumstances want to keep trying to keep you down.

~ Be persistent and persevere you will be amazed at what God has put inside of you!

I want to thank some really special people in my life.

Thank you to my very supportive and wonderful husband who I have been so blessed with. I love you so much and you and our children are my Why. Thank you for always helping me to stay focussed on the positive and trying to keep 4 kids quiet during phone calls.

To my beautiful children~ For your patience in watching and entertaining your baby sister just one more time and listening to enless phone calls late at night while you were going to sleep.

To my mom, If it weren't for you; there may not have been a 2nd and 3rd month with AmeriPlan®.

thank you for always being here when I need you and I love you.

To Steph, You are an awesome leader. Thank you for all your support, encouragement and help you have given me. You were always positive,direct and to the point so I could understand clearly. It is so nice to have a new friendship and sister in the Lord. You made such a difference in my business when you introduced me to the rest of the team. This was my breakthrough point. Having that connection with our other team mates and you is just priceless. Denay,Bonnie and Aimee you are so awesome, I love you girls! You all are such encouragers and sweet spirited. I'm so glad God has blessed me to be on such a great team.What incredible support you have been.

Regina, what a blessing to have been placed under your guidance and leadership. You are an inspiration. The seeds you have planted in my life will sprout, grow and bear much fruit in it's due season. Thank you for all your help and encouragement along the way.

To my team~Denise, Ramon, Fritz, Veronica, William and Shamia. I'm so thankful for you.

Some of you will blaze the trail and leave others in the dust. Some of you may take a road like I did and learn so many valuable lessons along the way. Just remember not to despise small beginnings. You always have to start somewhere and just be willing to persevere your Blessings on the other side!

Letia Waples, Regional Sales Director
First off let me start of by saying a hearty WooHoo! I have to thank God for this blessing. "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me." Philippians 4:13. Next I'd like to thank my husband and children who have been very patient with me through this time. They are my WHY. They understood I had a goal to meet and were my personal cheering section through it all. I want to thank my friend Jacquie who offered me the kind words I needed to keep going. Next I have to thank all the silent objectors because whether they wanted to or not, they encouraged me to succeed, if for no other reason than to PROVE THEM WRONG! Hallelujah!

I must also send out a big, giant, 'thank you' hug to my IBO, Wanda Bowers because if it were not for her, I would have quit before I even got started. She helped me get (and stay) excited. I absolutely called her the first week out and said I wanted to quit but she encouraged me and made me feel like I did when I first signed up and here I am - at RSD! It's all so exciting!

I also want to say to my team - let's move onward and upward ladies! We have a mission to accomplish!

Thank you so much!

Harvey & Tracy Jones, Regional Sales Directors
Wooohoooo! Oh my gosh is this really real? I still cant believe that I made RSD before convention! That was my goal and the day before convention I actually had someone sign up on the spot! I was thinking what kind of luck is that? Well we all know how it happened... I want to start of course by saying thank you to God, if it wasn't for him I would not have recieved the call from Joel & Terry Chevrette one night after getting off of work from my 8-5 J.O.B., and AmeriPlan® may not have been running a special that day for a $1.00 to sign up! (I could not say No to that). I want to also thank Denise Lynch for having our weekly team meetings... who I was also was able to meet at the convention... you are an awesome person! And I had the wonderful chance to meet Janie Jones, Penni Berk, Regina Morris, and Terry (my IBO) my wonderful new friend! I feel so blessed to have recieved the wonderful opportunity to have been able to go to the convention and meet such wonderful people! You just dont know how much motivation it has given me! I also want to thank my wonderful and supportive husband Harvey for helping me with dinner, cleaning house, passing out flyers and doing my post card leads for me... while I am able to go make phone calls at night. And to my wonderful son Shawn who passes out the flyers at Walmart on the weekends for me and advertises to his friends Moms. And wears the AmeriPlan® T-shirt I bought him from convention (with pride). The convention really put both of them in motivation mode as well! I recommend everyone to go to at least to 1 convention if not more... you would not believe the difference it will make in your life! My husband and I have a goal that we are shooting for and that is to build our business and work from home like everyone we met at the convention! We know for a fact it is possible and it takes hard work and dedication. We already have that so now it is just a matter of time... so we will wait patiently for that moment to get here and then we will celebrate! I want to als o tell my IBO's to keep on going DONT give up if things are not moving as fast as you thought it should, (like in the 1st 2 months!) Dont get discouraged, just be persistant and keep going. This is a learning proccess, you have to learn your business before you can Run your business. It does not come to you overnight. So you do need to plant your seed 1st and then harvest! I know anyone can do this wonderful opportunity if they just put their mind to it and sit in on the training calls, my next goal is to shoot for the star as NSD! That is my goal and I cant wait to see my team grow with me as well! NSD here I come!

See you at the TOP!

Donna DePaolo, Regional Sales Directors
WOW! Donna DePaolo, Regional Sales Director...sounds awesome! I finally made it!

Attending 2007 AmeriPlan® Convention gave me the motivation & the mindset to achieve my goal! To all IBO's: Attending an event like this is criticial to your business, so make plans to attend Champions Weekend & watch your business grow!

Thank-you God, for bringing this opportunity to my husband & I in our time of need. We were living paycheck to paycheck, with more month left than money! My husband is such a hard worker, putting in 60-70 hours a week to provide for his family. I am working part time. We wanted more than anything to get out of the rat race. Because of physical limitations, going back to work full time was not an option for me, but I knew I had to do something to bring more money into the household...that is when I learned about AmeriPlan® & I knew this was the answer to my prayers!

I'd like to thank my team...you're awesome! I'm so proud of you! Stay consistent & stay focused. RSD is right around the corner! I'd like to thank my husband for always believing in ME, even though he is a silent skeptic. I'm going to prove him wrong & show him that dreams DO come true in AmeriPlan®! I'd like to thank my sons for their help around the house & understanding that small sacrifices now, will be our biggest reward in the future.

A big thank-you to my upline SRSD & friend, Michelle Stefferson. What can I say...you're an outstanding leader & an inspiration. You got me through my ups & downs. I'm proud to have initiated Long Island Business Briefings with you. We are going to explode Long Island!

Lastly, a big thank-you to Jennifer and David Horton & Janie and Michael Jones for their outstanding leadership! You're the best!

Look out, SRSD...here I come!

Angela Personette, Regional Sales Director
WOOO HOOO! I FINALLY MADE IT! First I would like to thank GOD for bringing me this business and giving me the opportunity to do what I love--" Being able to stay home with my daughter's Angeliana (6) & Katrina (4) while earning a legacy income from home.

I want to give a special thanks to my husband Ken and my girls. Ken, Thank you for believing in me and helping me all the times I needed you. SORRY for all the times I couldn't made dinner. Girls, Thank you for letting mommy work on the phone, even when you really wanted to play or get mommy's attention. Girls we are going to Disney World soon.. Baby girls one day this Business will be yours. Mommy loves you. Dolly (mother-in-law) Thank you for help with kids and writing post cards and for all the support you give me, Thanks to my family and friends for their support, even listening to me talk about AmeriPlan® when you didn't want to hear it. Thank's & I love you all.

I would also like to thank Tyra, my IBO, for bringing this business to me and for not giving up on me, even though I didn't see the big picture at first & signed up three months later. Tyra thank you for taking my calls- I know I was driving you crazy at times! You're a great leader! Not only are you my team leader but also a great friend. Thank you.

Another Thanks to Cheryl, your energy is great. Everytime I call you and I am not having a good day, you turn that all around! Thanks for being you. Thanks for all the help and support you have given me, as well as believing in me even when I was in doubt.

A Big Thanks to all the team leaders. I love the calls. They are like "Myself being the Flower" and "The Calls being the Water." We've Got to have Water inorder to Grow and Bloom into the Prettist Flower you have ever seen.

For the new IBO's, If I can do it you can too. Just never Quit or say I can't. Believe in Yourself. Keep Planting your Seeds and getting the Water from the Calls. It will surprise you in so many ways. "Grow yourself the most Beauitful Garden you have ever seen!"

While sipping on my morning coffee today I contemplated what I might write concerning my promotion to RSD. I realized this accomplishment was the sum total of many people. From the inception of the idea Dennis & Daniel Bloom had to the examples they set at the beginning with their vision and tenacity to forge ahead in the midst of obstacles toward the development of this phenomenal company.

Thank you to each an every person who has been instrumental in my training, your role to this point can NEVER be forgotten. Those who are already successful to those who are just getting started, your roles are important. There are those who simply want to save money and those who desire to make money (and lots of it), your place is with AmeriPlan® USA. I have met people who simply want to help others rise above the plight they are currently experiencing without benefits. We inspire others with the introduction of AmeriPlan® into their lives. We give them HOPE! They, like us, can dream again.

Let us not forget that none of this is by accident! No, all is by divine design. It is a gift from God when we find ourselves at the right place at the right time. Let us not forget that many have searched for happiness and hope. How few ever realize it.

I am thankful for Jean Stinich (my sponsor) who returned my call one day from another state. Susan Goodknight and Theresa Dosch are unwavering in their quest to build a GREAT Team. Yes, this accomplishment is the sum total of many, many I have yet to meet but look forward to the occasion.

It's funny how similar we are to my delicious morning cup of java; for example...which of the coffee grinds can say, "I made this coffee taste so good." It was not one coffee granule, but the sum total of their contributions together. So it is with us. May the dreams we all look FORWARD to take us further away from the nightmares we leave behind.

SYATT (See YOU at the top!)

WooHoo, RSD! I'm really excited! Praise God for this blessing! I came into this business as a stay at home Mom looking to make some additional income from home. Prior to having my two children, I was a hospital Social Worker. AmeriPlan® is the only home business I investigated. Once I started learning about it, I knew this was it! I knew this business would help me do two things I love - help others and save money! Put them together and I was sold!

Thank you so much to my IBO Stephanie Dakin. I am so glad I found YOU! You are not only my IBO now but also a great friend! Thank you to Regina Morris, NSD. Your NSD calls made all the difference and created a camaraderie among my teammates. I also thank my teammates for all of their support, encouragement and Christian fellowship - Aimee, Jacquie and Bonnie! Aimee, thank you for venturing out to Champions weekend and Convention with me! I strongly encourage everyone to get to an AmeriPlan® event if possible! Our crosslines are amazing as well. Everyone wants to help one another succeed in AmeriPlan®!

My husband Michael has been a strong supporter of my venture. I appreciate your ideas and suggestions, the time you spend with the kids so I can work, your support and encouragement and belief in me! Thank you to my children who have been so patient with me as I work this business! My family is my WHY. I love you!

Thank you to my team. Believe in yourself, work consistently and always have enough people talk to! We will get you there too!

Onward and upward to SRSD!

Teresa Dunn, Regional Sales Director
WOW...I'm still stunned. What a crazy five months of my life. I am so happy to have found this team of people that have given me back my passion to succeed. I have always been a visionary and to find AmeriPlan® that was started by not one but two visionaries inspired me. I originally looked into AmeriPlan® for the benefits because my husband and I simply could not afford insurance. We have raised three wonderful boys and all our money and efforts were for them. I had been a stay at home mom for many years, the last 4 kept me home for my son who was diagnose with Leukemia at the age of 15. He came out of treatment and graduated high school with his class, what a proud moment that was. During the last 2 years I tried to start my own businesses then I decided to look into others because I just didn't seem to be getting anywhere. Well that wasn't working either.

One day I filled out a form for more info after reading an AmeriPlan® ad, that day I met Christie Bende. As I was talking to her about the benefits, I heard a little one in the background so I asked her "Are you working from home?" Her answer "yes I am" Immediately I was all over her asking umpteen questions and she answered all of them plus more. Three weeks after that call I was still trying to find a way to sign up as a broker. I'm sure at that time Christie was unsure of which way I was going to go. I knew that this was not an overnight venture, I saw the big picture and knew this was a decision. It hasn't been easy getting here, but I'm here. Now comes the next set of challenges... And as Kelly Fuller would say....GAME ON!

So I called my oldest and dearest friend Cindia who helped me with the money to get signed on because I was just that determined. I knew in my heart that this was for me. My husband just looked at me and said "what ever you want to do honey" He knew I was going to do this with or with out his blessing. So what choice did he have.

I have so many people to thank... first Cindia for being the supportive loving friend that she is. My husband for putting up with coming home to no dinner quite a few times. Christie Bende my IBO for just being herself and putting up with my crazy moments. To Kim, Susan,Wendy, Winnie, Tammy, Kelly, and so many more for being there when I had a question or just someone to vent to, your support has been amazing. And lastly to Janie for that one night when I could not get into a call. Calling me to three way me in, I will never forget the night you reached out to help a brand new person. I appreciate all of you.

If you are just starting out... You will have your moments when you think you can't...That's when you need to look into your heart... Don't over think it...Just do it!

Candye Smith, Regional Sales Director
I signed up AmeriPlan® May7th 2007 and was promoted to RSD 17 days later. I was praying for an opportunity to do more and become more not just for my family but to be a blessing to others. I asked God to lead me in the correct direction when I met Linette Garcia by internet. We talked and when I review her website, I knew this was it. The concept is great and the opportunity is wide open. I thank God for the opportunity to do more and become more and I am looking forward to other future endeavors with my AmeriPlan® Family. Thank you AnneMarie, Linnette, Stephanie and Penny. A special thanks to my life long partner my husband Gregory Smith for always encouraging me to believe in what I am doing. My two children Ebonye and Mahoganye the love of my life for being understanding when mommy is on the computer. My immediately family Mom & Dad (Bettye & Heyward Jones) For bringing me up to believe in God and myself.

Christine Lee, Regional Sales Director
WOW! That just sounds INCREDIBLE! I started with AmeriPlan® March 3, 2007 and in just over 4 months I made it! There were defiantly frustrating times where things would not move as quickly as I wanted them to...but I never gave up! To all IBO's reaching for RSD and beyond...It can and WILL happen so whatever you do DO NOT GIVE UP!

I am a stay at home mother of two beautiful and energetic children. When I started with AmeriPlan® it was so that I could remain at home with them AND take some of the financial burden off of my husband, Jesse. He works long and crazy hours doing manual labor. We hope to eventually BOTH work AmeriPlan® full time! I could not have gotten this far without his support and one day WE WILL be full time parents together! THANK YOU JESSE! I also could not have done this without my Mom. With a 3 year old and a 8 month old it is pretty tough to get work time in! My mom keeps the kids for me two days each week so that I can focus completely on AmeriPlan®.(MUCH easier than the silent Shhhhhh's, pointing, and mouthing BE QUIET PLEASE while talking to a prospect...All you Mom's know what I'm talking about...lol.) A thank you is also in line for my 3 year old daughter, Maddie. Most of the time she complys with the silent shhhhhh's.

Brenda, my IBO has been AWESOME! I am very lucky to have her both as a mentor and a friend. In the first month I probably had a million questions and she answered each and every one - and then some! Everyone gets frustrated sometimes. I am so glad that when I did Brenda was there with positive thoughts and words of wisdom. She has believed in me from day one and that means a lot. THANK YOU BRENDA! I am looking forward to many more years of AmeriPlan® with your guidance!

I would also like to commend our other leaders. This team has such incredible support and training! I feel very privileged to be a part of the Freedom At Home Team!

Thank you to Lisandra Derosa, my first IBO and friend! You are always SO positive! I know you are working hard and I see great things in store for you with AmeriPlan®. Lisandra always tells me, "We'll get there together..." Well girl, you are next!

Lisa Preku, Denise Sturek, and Betty Nickum - You guys just keep on the training and I can't wait to see your names followed with "Regional Sales Director!" I know each and every one of you have the right stuff to take it to the top! Like Lisandra says, "We'll get there together!" Off to SRSD.

OH MY GOODNESS, I FINALLY MADE IT...RSD, here I am! I didn't think I was ever going to make it; 9 months! I first have to give thanks to an awesome God for showing me this wonderful opportunity. Secondly, I need to thank my husband who has been very supportive and refusing to let me quit every time I wanted to (and believe me, there were several of those times)! Next, my children for jumping for joy every time I signed a broker or a member and especially the last two days while getting my final 5 members that put me where I am today!

Last, I have to thank my wonderful IBO, Colleen Gatto! It's been a bumpy road with me but she never once gave up and is still traveling with me today! Okay Colleen, SRSD here I come!

Michelle Lein, Regional Sales Director
I am a wife and mother first and foremost. I have two beautiful little girls, ages 4 (Elizabeth) and 2(Megan). I started searching for a way to work from home in 2003 prior to the birth of my oldest daughter. I tried everything imaginable from surveys, reading emails, Avon, Tupperware, Home Interior, transcribing and more. Each of these "opportunities" were all either scams or failures for me. There are some individuals out there that may earn a living with some of the home party type businesses, but I personally found that I had to invest so much money into them due to having to buy the supplies and start up cost etc. that I never even earned a true profit. I did earn a whole $11.00 on the surveys, and it took me 9 mo. to earn that amount. I ended up paying for so called sure fire work from home "opportunities" and not getting anything but information on how to work from home. As you can imagine I was rather frustrated and ready to give up on ever finding a way to work from home and be with my girls. Then in February of 2007 I found AmeriPlan®, and it has been the best thing that has happened to my family in a long time. I found AmeriPlan® through the Home Business Conections magazine. I was out of work on medical leave and was reading through the articles when I came across Janie and Michael Jones story. After reading about them and what they do I thought that, whatever company it is they are working with actually sounds like something I would like to do. I have had first hand experience with my parents and in-laws not being able to have healthcare coverage. My parents have tons of health problems and are uninsurable and my in-laws are not able to afford the high cost of insurance these days. I felt that this would be a company that I would genuinly be helping people with a service that they have a need for. I have now been able to leave my J.O.B. and come home to work my AmeriPlan® business. I left work on May 31st and have not looked back since.

I am a different person now because of AmeriPlan®. I am so much more relaxed and have more time to spend actual quality time with my girls and husband. Before I did not have much time during the day to spend with my family. We would come home from work and the babysitters and rush around to get supper ready, eat supper and then it was time for baths and bed. Our weekends were spent doing housework and having only a few hours to spend with each other. Now I am able to do my housework while working and I get to play with my girls each day. I am able to work around my families schedule and I actually can have a clean house now.

I truly do believe that God lead me to AmeriPlan®. I prayed for a way to know that this was for me, and I received it in many ways. I know that with God all things are possible, and that I will be earning a substantial income before long. I am looking forward to the lifestyle that AmeriPlan® IS GOING TO PROVIDE my family in the next 2-4 years.

Renate Hutchinson, Regional Sales Director
I am so overwhelmed to make it to Regional Sales Director. Thanks to all of my members and all my Independent Business Owners. Thank you, Thank you. The road to RSD was frustrating and there were times when I thought I would never get here, but I made it! Giving up just isn't an option for me. There have been obstacles, but none to large to overcome within this wonderful organization.

I first began with AmeriPlan® in December of 2006. I read the article in Home Business Connection about Janie Jones and her husband Michael Jones. It touched me in a way I'll never be able to describe. I went online, filled out the application, and received a postcard in the mail. I signed up immediately, I was ready for the new challenge. My IBO sent the very first email and after that I only heard from her on maybe two more occasions. I did not know what daily emails were. I stumbled around on my own until one day I had a question and emailed Janie Jones. God Bless her. She responded immediately. My IBO is no longer with AmeriPlan®, but I have been adopted by a wonderful lady who has helped me every step of the way to RSD. And to her, I owe all of my success. Thank you Kristie Wooten. Without Kristie, I would not have made it to where I am.

To all of the new IBO's out there, don't ever stay out of touch with your upline, they are your lifeline. They can provide you with so much knowledge and guidance. All you have to do is ask.

To my Team, Lillian Bryant, Alex Cook, Gloria Dannen, and Chemyeeka Bailey, keep up the good work. I promise that you too will be a Regional Sales Director before long. Consistency is the key to this business and will take you far.

Thank you AmeriPlan® for this wonderful opportunity.

Stacie Walker, Regional Sales Director
The healthcare industry has always been a passion of mine. Right before signing up, I ended up in the emergency room due to complications with my liver. I had no form of healthcare coverage. I couldn't afford health insurance due to it being so expensive and my husband's employer didn't offer any type of healthcare benefits. Upon my release from the hospital, my bill was in the thousands! At this point, I soon realized that I am not the only one affected by the rising cost of healthcare. I know that what we have to offer is a great service and will make a positive difference in peoples lives across the nation. I thank God for opening my eyes and leading me to my purpose in life.

To my Master Mind Leaders, in random order?Janie Jones, Regina Morris, Penny Burke, Amy Lett, Kelly Pira, Kelly Fuller, Hodaa (My IBO), Becky Blacka, Wendy Himenez, and Dani Johnson. These wonderful women have inspired me to better my life for myself, my family, and society as a whole. I now fully comprehend the secret of success. I look forward to building a strong team and to my continued growth in this wonderful business. I know that this is just the beginning of my great journey.

To my Team - You are my reason, NOT to give up on this business. You have inspired me to blossom into a woman that is not afraid of the unknown and to never give up on my lifelong desires. My goal is to help guide you in the right direction, so you will be able to accomplish the things in life that you desire. You deserve to be successful and I will be here for you every step of the way.

Theresa Surgick, Regional Sales Director
I am so grateful and thankful to God for His mercy and grace. I thank Him for leading me to AmeriPlan®. I remember the day. That morning I had gone online and opened my checking account and all I saw was RED! Checks had bounced all over the place! I drove to work, crying and literally screaming at the top of my lungs asking God to help us - show me what to do. HELP! After I got to work and got settled in, I went online and found Anita's ad in our local newspaper. That night I went online and read the information and just knew that it was something that was for me, right from God. But I had to wait because I didn't have the money. Once I had the money, I called and requested an Interview and was getting anxious waiting for Anita to call. Once she called, I was so ready to sign up. Come to find out, I could have signed up sooner because the $1 promotion was going on. What a surprise! I should have just trusted in God and called right away, that taught me a good lesson.

I feel so blessed to be a part of AmeriPlan®! I truly thank my God for giving me this wonderful opportunity. I thank Him for Anita Houser, a great woman of God. She has been such an inspiration to me and has constantly pushed me and encouraged me to go on. She believes in me when I don't believe in myself. There are many times in our lives when God, in His infinite wisdom, will place people in our lives so that He can take us to the place He desires us to be. I believe that is why he put AmeriPlan® and Anita Houser in my life. It has not only helped me to grow in the business, but the things I am learning are also helping me in church ministry (I am a licensed/ordained minister). I have suffered with feeling like a failure in so many things, but I believe working with AmeriPlan®, has helped to destroy that spirit of failure from my life. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, Philippians 4:13

Thank God for my husband, who supports me in this venture and my beloved daughter, Krystal Rose, who is an even greater encourager, I love you both so much! To those who are just beginning your journey with AmeriPlan®, times will seem hard when working the plan, but don't ever give up. I am a living example of what time will do for you. Just hold on and in time, your increase will be manifested if you just keep the faith and press on, hold on to your ultimate goal to go to the highest level in AmeriPlan®!

And to my team we are on the road to great success and I promise to help each and every one of you achieve your dreams in every way that I possibly can. Working together we can do it!

William Oxenreider, Regional Sales Director
RSD, it's about time. I now desire to become SRSD, I desire to be successful and NVP in this company. This poem will be with me all the time. I have not felt this juiced up since my days of putting on a uniform to play a game that gave me my college education, social life, and confidence. Tears of joy and sadness are flowing from my face. The sadness comes from not being able to tell my Mom. Yet, in a weird way, it motivates me like I still have something to prove. It is still not enough. Just like I was a long shot in life and had to fight, scratch and chew to get where I am today. This dyslexic kid, who was told he did not belong in school, college, and even in society itself. This shall be my constant motivation, the Alpha of my success. I remember my Mom with tears in her eyes as she took on the school the state and fought for me. Her desires, where for me, I cannot let her desires be lost. The desires will externalize themselves into concrete fact, which another fact is concrete. I have accomplished the first step to NVP, RSD. The things I have learned in this journey of reaching RSD are you cannot count your chickens until they hatch. You may lead a horse to the watering hole, but the horse may not drink. Patience, consistency, and paying attention to detail are what I have learned. How many times have we heard these lines before?

Stacey, I still need your help to achieve my goals. Words alone cannot state how much you have helped me achieve RSD. For some reason, you believed in me. You were their when I needed you the most. You somehow, without ever seeing or knowing me, new what to do. WOW, that is amazing. You knew how to channel my anger, emotions, and skills. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I knew really how much you cared when you showed me how upset you where with me when I would not leave a call back number. I felt that feeling when the couch yells out, you are not pushing yourself, get moving, you're slacking. Then you can see the passionate side, when you said "sorry," "but you need to leave a number." I am used to discipline, I am coach able. My Mom would have paddles made for each teacher I would have in school. She delivered them and told them, "I expect him to listen". I did listen and took it to heart; you too get tears from my eyes. That is a special thing. Yes, my Mom would deliver a paddle to you too. Thanks for using it.

I would like to thank my entire down line. Let us not forget, without them I have no success. It is time to get each and every one of you to RSD. I am committed to your success. I have walked the path and now it is your time. This feeling is so incredible. Just remember, you have no options for failure, only success. Each of you has helped me in ways you do not know. I will share these ways when you reach RSD. So let's go TEAM. Let us not fail, let us pick our selves up after every fall, and let us help each other. Enjoy the arena of success, as we are the ones in battle, with dirt, sweat, and tears on our face. The rest are watching us play, because they are afraid of the sweat, tears and dirt and when we walk out of that arena, we our champions. Just do the small details every day; let us grow with the foundation that is in place. We are CHAMPIONS.

Wow, let us not forget about our entire up line and what they have done for us. From the training website, to free post card leads, boot camp and I could go on and on. The system that is in place is the best, and I am part of that system. WOW, we all should be so thankful. Thanks Janie Jones and Pennie Berk. Pennie, thank you for the help in the last month. You saw work from me and you rewarded me with more leads. I never had this much support before. Thank you. Janie, I would get so mad when I see the emails you sent out saying look who achieved or look at are knew RSD. Now I can turn that frustration in to happiness, as the desire to see myself in that spotlight is concrete.

Deborah Martinez, Regional Sales Director
This is a simple business, but it's not easy. It has taken me out of my comfort zone. Working in corporate America for 27 years and getting a paycheck every 2 weeks was something I had become accustomed to. When I got the news that our department would be closing I knew that many of my co-workers would be losing their benefits. I started looking for "affordable healthcare" in the Google search engine, and lo and behold came an impression with Kelly Fuller's website. I clicked on it. I read the plan and the more I read the more liked it. So I signed up, I told my family about it, and they probably thought " Poor Deborah, she's gotta find something to do now that she's been laid off...".

But as people responded to phone calls and post card leads I had written out, I began to get results. I know now that by reaching this first step of REGIONAL SALES DIRECTOR, they know this is a serious business for me. I must admit there were days of doubt and fear, not about AmeriPlan®, but whether I had it in me to do this business. So, I thank my IBOs Kelly Fuller and Janie Jones who, unlike the CEO's of my previous employer, actually value my contribution to the company and encourage me to be successful. THANK-YOU GIRLFRIENDS!

My big WHY? for working this business is having time freedom. I'm having the time of my life working from home and I'm looking forward to what is up ahead.

God bless my team members, my IBOs, AmeriPlan® and God Bless America!

Alicia Montanez, Regional Sales Director
Well Im in shock right now! Still cant believe this has happened! I have done many home based businesses in my life, but this is the one business I wish I would of found years ago.

I discovered AmeriPlan® in December 2006. I called the phone number in the local newspaper. After speaking to Amy Sun, I told her this wasn't what I was looking for Amy and I kept in contact and eventually became friends by e-mail. One day in June, I started asking Amy questions again by Instant Messaging and she answered everything right. I signed up! And am very glad I did! I am very Thankful for AmeriPlan®, My husband (who didnt want me to do another hbb), my 2 boys who get excited and dance with me when I sign up a member or IBO, Amy Sun my sponsor who stays in touch with me everyday, and Kristie Wooten who has helped me overcome my fears by listening to her on calls! I love you guys! I couldnt have done it without you!

To everyone out there having doubts! You can do this! Ask for help from your upline! They want this for you just as much as you do! Say these to yourself daily Everything I need is already in me AND Every day in Every way Im getting better and better.

Cheryl Smith, Regional Sales Director
First and foremost I want to thank God for all my wonderful blessing. Truly He is the author and finisher of my fate. I thank God for placing me on the heart of my IBO (my Aunt Cynthia) to ask me about signing up AmeriPlan®. When Aunt Cynthia first introduced AmeriPlan® to me in email form, it was entitled "Business Opportunity" Just a few days prior to receiving it I told a friend I wanted to be a broker. After receiving the email from my Aunt Cynthia I said "WoW! is this my opportunity. I researched and asked a lot of questions. I have always held a strong passion for wanting to work from home. So I knew in my heart this was something I should pursue. Having found and accepting AmeriPlan® was one of the best career decisions I have ever made. Having someone control my future never set well with me and is not what I envisioned for my life. I wanted the "FREEDOM" to make choices about my successes. Throughout my journey in the corporate world nothing seemed to satisfy me. Today, I can truly say that my journey with AmeriPlan® is continuously satisfying. I wish I had found the company sooner.

AmeriPlan® is doing things in my life and in that of our team members that one could only dream of. Since signing up with AmeriPlan® I have the flexibility of controlling my schedule and the "FREEDOM" to control my "Destiny". Finally, I found a way to making my dreams come true. I'm building my the financial freedom.

I may have been like the "Tortoise" reaching RSD, but that's O.K. I'm leaning slightly forward and pressing my way toward the top. No matter how soon or how long it may take, I know I'm in the right place at the right time. With God all things a possible, therefore I know I can't go wrong.

Thank You AmeriPlan® for allowing me represent you. Cynthia and Becky thank you for believing in me.

My Motto Is:
"Success doesn't find you, YOU find SUCCESS" Don't let Fear rob you of your dreams.

Alvin Douglas, Regional Sales Director
My AmeriPlan® "Why"...I knew several years ago that Corporate America would not be the place that I would essentially lay my claim. I was on the fast track to nowhere. I am not the smartest guy around, but, I figured out very quickly that I was just exchanging my time for money; therefore, I knew that a network marketing opportunity was the solution to both of my dilemmas (1) more time and (2) more options. The bigger problem was finding one that was right for "me". Like many individuals in AmeriPlan® now, I had tried the lotions and potions, mail order, (I even tried selling perfume/colognes at one time), etc., but, I could not find one that was literally right for me...until I found AmeriPlan®. I found AmeriPlan® by doing a google search engine for work at home opportunities. By doing so, this led me to Janie Jones' (Freedom At Home Team) and ultimately connected me to my wonderful sponsor and friend Michael Dennehy. I saw the vision and potential of AmeriPlan® and immediately signed up.

The road to RSD has not been easy - 4 of my first 6 brokers quit after a 3-4 month period and the other 2 soon followed their path! But, I was determined not to quit regardless of what circumstances I was dealt and regardless of how tempting it may become - quitting for me was and never will be an option! What did I do different? Nothing! Except focus even more on my WHY - that's what keeps me going. My WHY is for one day allow me and my wife, Donna, to put our 4 year old twin daughters (Nyla & Nia) on the school bus; more importantly, be able for "both" of us to be at home when they get off of the school bus. There was no way that high demanding jobs via Corporate America would give us a chance to spend more time with our daughters. With AmeriPlan®, we now have that chance.

Finally, I wanted to thank my Lord and Savior (Jesus Christ) for leading me to this phenomenal business that is filled with individuals who are in the "changing lives" business - it has certainly changed mine. Thank You Dennis and Daniel Bloom for having and creating the AmeriPlan® vision. Thank you Michael and Janie Jones for putting together an awesome support system; the training and information that is available is priceless. There is no way that I would be able to learn and be successful in this business without the support of the awesome leadership that you have built - my upline's success stories and training have become my lifeline. And a special thanks to my sponsor Michael Dennehy who has provided me with guidance, friendship, and respect - thank you for unselfish acts of support and encouragement.
