Freedom at Home Team

Theresa Croft, Regional Sales Director
"Blessed be the LORD who daily loads us with benefits." Psalm 68:19

I am so totally thrilled and relieved to make Regional Sales Director. I have not wanted something like this in a long time! It feels great and I am so thankful to the LORD for a personal victory with this!

Prior to finding AmeriPlan®, I was blessed to be an announcer at a Christian FM radio station (Victory 91.5) north of Atlanta, Georgia. After 15 1/2 years I stepped down from that awesome job ( I got paid to talk...and pray on the air...can't get better than that!) to help my husband and move our family to the New Orleans area where Dave and his company had been helping in restoration of homes after Hurricane Katrina.

God brought us back to Georgia where I settled in being a stay at home mom (for the first time ever) for my two children and helping with my husband's construction company. I wanted to continue to help my husband and be that stay at home mom, but I was getting restless. Every day at the radio station God gave me an opportunity to bless and encourage someone. I missed that! I went thru some serious times of prayer and asking and pleading for God to show me something I could do and still be there for my family. I had a video business. Except for a couple of Christian ministry promotions and a few school events, it was going nowhere.

Then along came this energizer bunny named Heather who is my husband's oldest daughter. She came around with her pamphlets, and magazines, and plans, and her all out excitement about this company called AmeriPlan®. I read about the plans and the testimonies (gotta love Janie Jones testimony). I HAD been searching on line for something, but all I found were the rip offs and duds! Eventually, I caught a glimpse of the AmeriPlan® vision...and got hooked after a long talk with Vicki Crabtree!

I feel so blessed to find not only a company of the highest integrity but also a company that is diligent to provide the best training, advice, and plan of action for this kind of business. The people they put in front of us to teach and train us our THE BEST in the nation. And on top of all this, we get to HELP other people by working the business. WE are the messengers with a powerful message (whether its the health plans or being an IBO) to bring hope and freedom to many people.

I could not have made it to this point without the support of my family. My husband Dave, who at times had reservations, still provided me with words of advice and member leads! Thank you to my children, 9 year old Anna, and 5 year old William, for their patience with me during the day and their sweet prayers for me at night ("Lawd, please help mom to be as good as Dani Johnson and make RSD!)

Thank you to Heather for her sharing in the highs and lows, whether in person or a quick phone call as I stumbled and fell along the way. Thank you Vicki for all the right words at the right time and the faithful prayer support. To Kelli Fuller for shooting straight everytime all the while giving me a glimpse of the big picture! And finally, I have to thank Dani Johnson. God has used her to stir something deep inside of me that is a part of my God given destiny. I am thankful for her and her husband's vision to help everyday people find complete freedom in ALL aspects of their lives, from financial to family, by teaching simple yet profound truths. "People are the business...Make a friend!"

God bless you all as you run the race of life. Keep your eye on the prize (Jesus) and your heart in the Word!

Sydney Larson, Regional Sales Director
I'm so glad I found AmeriPlan®! I was looking for just a little extra money every now and then, as it was a little tight sometimes raising my teenagers- 19 yr old son, Darren and 17 yr old daughter, Alyssa. Now that I know it's possible, my ultimate goal is to replace my income and fire my boss! Success doesn't happen overnight, but wow, it's certainly moving along at a pace I like!

The support and training of the leaders and of my teammates has kept me going and my spirits up. Thank you so much to my very easy-going IBO, Tiffany Schanfish, to the great encouragement from the Seattle area Regional Office group, to Cindy Miller for talking me through it, to Rebecca Lomis-Stephan for great Fast Track classes and her fiery determination for all of us to succeed, to Elizabeth Carter for her words of wisdom and great suggestions, to Anita Houser for her sweet, encouraging ways, to Vester Stevens and Tracy McGuire, two great new friends and fellow RSD pursuants, your help was invaluable! And, of course, to my new teammates, Paul, Rod, Reggie and Barbie.

Diane Popovski, Regional Sales Director
Wow! Finally! RSD!

God Works in Very Special Well...one beautiful, sunny day I connected with Michelle Stefferson (my IBO) on a business level. Being in the sign industry for eighteen years, working as a graphic artist, my business was quite rewarding on many levels. I found it to be recession proof, needing a sign to go into business and one to go out. A business without a sign...is a sign of no business! However...learning about multi-level marketing just made total sense! Michelle introduced me to AmeriPlan®! I have held on to this for two years, paying my monthly fees, being very busy with my other jobs, knowing that this would work for my life and well being! Well, GOD BLESS...it is here now!

So being business savvy already and connecting to the best multi-level marketing, million dollar company...AmeriPlan®, with tremendous support and training, collecting RESIDUAL INCOME for life...selling Consumer Driven Healthcare was totally complete for me and my family.

Thank You Again...Michelle, my IBO and very dear friend! and to the best team ever! my upline, ibo's and members. We will all reach our dreams together! How cool is that!

Scott Dupree, Regional Sales Director
WOOHOO! RSD Scott Dupre it rhymes, lol. Let me start by taking time to thank the Lord for with out his guidance and patients none of this would be possible. I was raised in church, 3 times a week and I was always told to follow god's direction, but growing up I was afraid that if I did I would end up a missionary or a preacher and no offence to either. That did not sound like a lot of fun to me, but at 40 I had come to a point in life were I realized that there was more to happiness than money so I prayed and told the Lord I would be willing to do anything he wanted me to do. As long as I was happy. Soon after, I was drawn to an ad in my local newspaper. Not sure why, but I went right to it. When I visited the web site I expected to find the "catch" in a few minuets, but after being there 45 min I could not wait to get started. I knew that this was what I was supposed to be doing (never a doubt). Stress was just lifted. I knew that this was Gods will and that I found what I had been looking for my entire working career. So here it is little less than 3 months and I have reached my first goal. Granted when I first started I though the 6 and 4 would be a cake walk. I thought I will hit that by the end of the week.

I didn't make it the first week or first month, but I started to see the process of a successful business. It doesn't happen over nite, but I see it getting better everyday. My friends have started to except this is what I do. They are starting to see this is a real opportunity. Some have even taken a closer look at signing up for me and for there sake I hope this is for them or at least they find the fit I have found with AmeriPlan® because it all boils down to the pursuit of happiness. Your career is such a big part of you life. If your not happy at work chances are you are not happy. There have been some trying times, but that's the adventure. Do you know that when you reach the summit of Mt. Everest that a lot of time you can't see much (cloud cover, weather, ect.), but yet people still risk there life to get there, why? The adventure of the climb, the trip to the top, books are not written about the view from up there they are written about the several day adventure It took to get there.

I try to see this as my climb to the top and enjoy the struggles of getting there. If it was easy it would not be as much fun. It would be boring and we have such great guides, like Jennifer Horton. I could go on forever about her, always there. Same Jennifer every time. She has become a dear friend of mine. When she was on vacation near my house, I asked if I could meet her for lunch. Of course she agreed, but here is a lady that is trying to get a little down time with her family and she still had time for me. Glad I'm typing this and not speaking, because I get a little choked up when I think about how much time and energy she spends trying to help me reach my goals. I am truly blessed to be able to call her friend, thank you so much! Than we have Kent, Wendy and Janie how much better example of hard work and determination could you have. Thank you all so much for being such good leaders and then there is one more lady I need to thank Meg Taylor. She is my "WHY". I want to build a business that we can both work together. She works out of town most of the month away from her family to make sure we have all we need and I want her to come home to be here every morning not just 4 a month. She has supported me in everything I have done. This is no exception she has handed out flyer, cards, works the internet, any thing she can to help me. Another big blessing in my life and I'm so thankful for her. You know another thing that goes through my mind is the saying "give it a year and you will not recognize your life." I can tell you if there is as much positive change in my life over the rest of the year, as there has been in 3 short months I won't recognize it. And for that I thank everyone that has helped change it. In closing there are a couple of things I have learned. MLM is a industry like any other, so study about it, read, listen to tapes, watch video's anything you can to become more educated about it. It will make sleeping harder but life easier and tell everyone you know about what you do. I bet who you r talking to wish they could be you and only work with the willing if someone hangs up on you or blows you off, move on. The key to staying positive is numbers. If you get just one positive response a day it will over whelm several negative responses. Good luck to those just starting this adventure and thank you to those that are a head of me for giving me a map to follow. Remember I won't fail because I won't quit! So I will see you at the top!

Dani White, Regional Sales Director
Im really at a lost for words! It has taken a loooong time (I signed up for in November!) but here I am, Regional Sales Director! Thank you Jesus for answering prayers and sending confirmation that AmeriPlan® was where You wanted me to be at this appointed time. A huge thank you to my husband Roderick and my two beautiful children for your patience and your support while I worked the business at home, for all the times you had to be quiet while mommys on the phone and for trips to the park and the mall so I could listen to training calls! A big thank you to my sister Twanda and my cousin Renee.

Thank you Debbie for not giving up on me and for ALL of your help and support. You are the best of the best and Im so proud to be working with you on the freedom at home team. Thank you Janie Jones and Becky Blacka and all of our team leaders for your unbelievable training and encouraging words.

Pamela Isaac, Regional Sales Director
WOW...THIS IS GREAT! How exciting the past three and a half months have been. I feel so blessed that God provided me with this amazing opportunity. His guiding hands brought me through many obstacles, determined to make it to the first of many goals.

A special thanks to Sonja Hicks, my IBO, for all of her patience and support. Sonja and Becky are such an inspiration to me and many others. I look forward to the training calls, especially the team calls, knowing I will come away with the motivation to push me through the week and new information and tips that will help me grow my business to new heights. I'm honored to be a part of the Freedom at Home Team. Everyone is filled with such determination and drive and the training and support system is so incredible!

My IBO's, thanks to each and every one of you. This is just the beginning guys! We will ALL reach our dreams together!

Diane, I am so very glad that Sonja introduced us. You are such a special person and I can't wait to see what our friendship will bring us.

I couldn't have done any of this without the support of my wonderful husband, Clay, who has stood by my side through it all, helping me even when he didn't know he was. Our SOMEDAY is just around the corner! I love you!

To my parents, family and friends, thank you for believing in me. Next stop, SRSD. HERE I COME!

Tracy Hanna, Regional Sales Director
RSD, Wow! I never thought I would get there! It took me a little longer than I planned but it feels so good to be here. I would like to thank my IBO, Michelle, for helping me find this wonderful business. I also want to thank Becky Blacka, without you I wouldn't have made it this far. You have created a wonderful team that I am so proud to be a part of. I also want to thank my IBOs, especially Stacy. You have helped to keep me on my toes! I can't wait for us to get to NSD together! Last and certainly not least, I want to thank my family: My husband Barry, who on many nights, has taken over as Mommy while I attend training calls or make telephone calls. Without you, I just couldn't do it. My children, Kayla, Ethan and Elijah, My real "whys".

AmeriPlan® has been a Godsend to me and my family. While on maternity leave with my last child, Michelle came to my house to tell me about something she found. We watched the DVD and I was hooked! I signed up the same day. Two weeks before I was due to go back to work, I went in and gave my employer of fourteen years my notice and haven't looked back. Talk about a leap of faith! I am proud to be a part of this wonderful company and can't wait to be one of the many success stories. Next stop, SRSD!

Rev. Michelle Jackson, Regional Sales Director
Most always when people ask me how I am doing, I reply "I am blessed!" Because I believe that I am. As usual, I received a copy of the weekly Christian magazine distributed at my church after service on July 8 of this year. What was unusual was that in this magazine was an article on a mom who was working from home, which caught my eye. It gave a web address in this article about different work from home businesses. I went home and went straight to the computer, followed the link and scrolled through the lists of ads. I came across one that the business was vaguely familiar, it was AmeriPlan®. I had looked at the dental benefits a few years before, never went through with it even after calling a broker, the number I got from a family member and spoke briefly to him on the phone, mainly because he said he wasn't at his computer right then because he was on his cell and busy taking his kids to school. I never heard from him again. I realize now that it was not in God's time, yet.

But this time, several years later, I happened on Amy Sun's website, with a picture of her and her family. I was impressed and curious enough to fill out the little questionnaire, which I NEVER do on the computer. I never do questionnaires or survey's, but this time I did, almost without thinking. It had to be God! Amy contacted me the next day and now here I am RSD! Wow, God is good!

I can truly say, that I could not have done it without Amy's help and encouragement. She has been a true witness that AmeriPlan® can help people - help other people! It is an amazing company with amazing people!

I am impressed how you are not left alone, but there is always someone there to help you succeed with every step! Amy has been an exceptional leader. She has shown me that when we both needed a little help it was only an e-mail away and next thing I know, Kristie (our up-line) was there ready and willing to help! So, you see, I am truly blessed by the Lord! I want to let everyone one know that as I have read and will soon read "YOUR" bio's, God knows your hope's, dreams, and plans, because He gave them to you and as you act on them with enthusiastic faith you have encouraged me and others. Keep up the good work and I'll see you at the convention someday!

Amy Sun and Kristie Wooten, you ladies are amazing "Thank You, Thank You, from the depths of my heart!

Vester Stevens, Regional Sales Director
I'm almost at a loss for words. I agonize over writing about myself, but I do think getting to RSD has to be one of the few things I've done that will actually stay with me as something that I've really made happen through a lot of work, and the help of people that I would never have known except with AmeriPlan®. The endless questions to Elizabeth Carter always came with encouragement in the answers. Anita Houser's advice was always helpful. Reginald is a good mentor with straight forward instructions, easy to comprehend. Sydney is a new friend who's help and ideas came when I really needed them. All the people I've talked to and listened to at the training and team meetings has always been beneficial to me.

After first doing nothing, then wasting and throwing away my time and money on programs that were doomed for me before I started them. AmeriPlan® actually makes me feel good about what I'm doing.

Well, step one is complete, so now on to SRSD!

Sharyn Eckard, Regional Sales Director
WOW OH WOW OH WOW! Am I finally here? Ya know it's amazing what you can do, once you finally get out of your own way! I know everyone says this but it's really true when it comes to me...if I can do this, anyone can!!

First and foremost I thank my loving Jesus, He truly is the Lover of my soul and without Him my life is nothing and I know that He is the one that led me to AmeriPlan. I was praying that I would find something where I could be a blessing to others and one day while on the computer I came across an ad for Ameriplan. I knew as I was looking over the FAHT website that the Lord had answered my prayers and that He had led me to the ad....by the way, after I looked at the site, I went back to where I had seen the ad and it was no where to be found ??

I feel so blessed to have, not only, found the best company to be involved with but on top of that, I am a part of the BEST team in the company. Thank you so much Janie for being the sweet, gracious leader that you are, I have been involved with other network companies and none of the top leaders were as available and approachable as you are or as generous. Its so nice to know you are so caring. I enjoy all the calls with you, Wendy, Kelly, Becky and all the other leaders on our team. To me these calls are our life line and anybody that is not staying plugged into them, you are cheating yourself and making it harder to succeed. Something else that is great about our team is the willingness of all the leaders on our team to help anyone, whether direct downline or not. Thank you so much Susan for your encouragement and help. With the training and support on this team, it is next to impossible for anyone to fail.

I'm striving everyday to get out of my comfort zone and with the Lords help, I know one day I will be an NSD and by watching and listening to our team leaders, I'll be able to help my team grow in size and strength. My goal is to be able to help everyone on my team, reach their goals and fulfill their dreams. I know everyone of you can succeed and reach the top. To my special sister in the Lord, Carol Slominski, you are such a blessing and I'm so happy to have you on my team. We've had moments of tears and joys and one day we'll look back and say it was all worth it. Suzanne, Melissa, Laurie and Caroline, I see great things ahead for all of you, I know all of you can succeed.

I thank the Lord everyday for the friendship that I have found in my enroller, Jennifer Renier, I know in my heart that we are friends for life. Jen you have been a constant source of encouragement as I have worked thru my issues and even when it was apparent that I was my only problem, you never gave up on me and always had kind words of praise. I've enjoyed the times of sharing our life's stories and have been amazed at how much we have in common and I know we've got allot of great times ahead. It's to the top for both of us! Thank you for being you, your going to be a great leader in this company.

Ok Carol Slominski, your up next girl!

WOOHOO! and ALL GLORY TO GOD! I'm just still so excited; I don't even know what to say. Ameriplan®; is such a GREAT company with so many GREAT people, team members, and leaders! And, by the way, above are 2 of my biggest "Whys" for joining and sticking with AmeriPlan!

Thanks to Kelly Pira, my enroller-you're an AWESOME leader and friend! Thanks for sticking with me and encouraging me every step of the way! I know it was a long time coming for me and had to be for you, too! LOL

Thanks to Regina-you're a SUPER NSD!Thank you also, to Wendy, Janie, Kelly Roberts, Kelly Fuller, and all the other leaders and team members for doing all the training calls and answering my many questions along the way! I would also like to thank Penny for doing the calls with Regina every week to help us all out and encourage and motivate us--you're amazing, too!

I consider you ALL friends and can't wait to meet you at convention! Thank you all for being mentors to myself and all of us! Love you all and may God and Jesus bless you all (and everyone on the team!) always!

Can't wait for SRSD and beyond!

Sheri Ables, Regional Sales Director
There is an aspect of working from home that is beneficial, no one could see the happy dance I was doing when I reached RSD! According to my kids, I am officially crazy! I took longer than many others, but received so much support during my personal trials and the death of my mom. In spite of struggles and obstacles, I continued holding onto the knowledge that there is much more to Ameriplan®; than simply a little extra income. I have learned so much from each of you, things that have helped me to grow not only professionally but personally. This is the best team one could hope to become a part of. We are a family. We are encouraging and supportive during the down periods of the business and joyful together in the successes. I am proud to be part of the Freedom at Home Team. I am proud to call Terri, Shona, Kelly, and Janie my leaders. I can only hope to be half the inspiration to my IBOs that they are to me.

Sherry & Robert Albert, Regional Sales Directors
My husband and I have 7 children between the two of us. We have 3 other businesses that also keep us very busy. Way to busy...

Unfortunately, in October of 2005 I became hospitalized due to stress related issues, who would have guessed! In May of 2007 we were almost in financial ruin and my health was just barely hanging on. The end of June, I ran the idea of starting a new business with Ameriplan®; by my husband. He was very worried about another $50.00 dollars going out every month. We just did'nt have it! We had already been robbing Peter to pay Paul for the last year. Not to mention, the idea of me taking on more was not a good idea. I called Christina Wiler on the phone and spoke in length to her about Ameriplan. When I told her my current financial situation could'nt warrant me paying out $50.00 per month and possibly not making any money. She giggled and said, "Sherry, we all make more than $50.00 per month. That's not an issue!" Boy was she right... I cannot thank her enough for her sincere little giggle and those words. In July of this year, I started with Ameriplan. It gave my husband and I new hope at just the right time. When I started Ameriplan, I had a few set backs and could'nt start working my new business for about 6 weeks due to my daughter needing a surgery and then recovery time (she works for one of our businesses and I had to cover for her). But now that I have started my paper trail, it has all started to fall into place for us.

We are looking at making Ameriplan®; our only business within 2 years time. Our ultimate goal in 7 years (when our last child turns 18!!!) is to semi-retire... and keep working Ameriplan®; along our journey of semi-retirement. We knew that our other 3 businesess would not allow us to ever retire, and were already convinced that we were destined to work till the day we died. But Ameriplan®; has proven to us that we have the ability to prosper and meet our future goals in our time frame given. Everyday, my husband and I wish that Ameriplan®; had come into our lives 15 years ago. We are looking forward to seeing all of you at the top!

Christina Shaffer Swientek, Regional Sales Director
Well, it has been a LONG road to get here, Whoo-Hoo, RSD! There is not much to say that hasn't been said before. I have been in Ameriplan®; entirely too long (I'm not telling you how long!) However, when I made the decision to get it done, I did. When you really decide that today is the day I'm going to do this you will pull out all the stops and make it happen and that's what finally did happen for me. So, to those of you who have been plugging along, stick with it and when you are ready go for it! Whatever goal you are working towards will happen for you. I knew Ameriplan®; was great from the moment I started to read about this company, I just needed to focus.

The picture you see above is my reason why I never gave up and kept working, even a little at a time; my precious daughters (one is coming in Jan!). I want to give them every opportunity in the world and also to show them that Mommies are strong and can be independent while still being wife and mother. Of course, my husband, Gerard, who has supported me in absolutely anything I want to do and always gives me help and guidance whenever I need it. I am so grateful to my enroller, Theresa Dosch, who also happens to be my closest Aunt. I am grateful to her for introducing me to Ameriplan, but mosty for the special person and leader that she is, and I'm sure everyone on our team knows exactly what I am saying. Theresa, you are such a kind and loving person and that comes across in everything you do for our team as a whole and as individuals, it is wonderful to have a leader that truly wants you to be successful. Also, another thank you to Susan Goodnight, Janie Jones and all the leaders of the Freedom at Home Team for all you do for us. SRSD here I come!!!

Heather Croft, Regional Sales Director
WOW, the changes that have already taken place in myself, my life & the lives around me since starting with Ameriplan, put me in complete awe. Starting with Ameriplan®; wasn't the easiest thing for me to do, although I KNEW from the 1st time I spoke with Vicki this was IT...

Finally a LEGITIMATE Home-Based Business. Starting out I had NOTHING, not even enough funds to enroll, but I couldn't let that stop me, thank God Vicki was patient & faithful in her following up because it wasn't long before I enrolled. Just after starting, I moved back home to my Dad's house, amazed at the training & standards of this new company I was working for, I excitedly told my Step Mother to look at my magazines, flyers, websites, not knowing she too had been looking for & wanting to do something from the comfort of home also. She did some research & a few days later we were a team. "Energizer Bunnies", quickly became our nickname with our other team members! Since then God has blessed me with a new car, an AMAZING man I'm going to marry, more freedom in my schedule than I've ever known, teammates that are cherished friends as close as family, and so much more.

Thank you Daniel & Dennis for being obedient to the Lord's calling on your life & giving us this lifetime opportunity for freedom, residual income, amazing benefits & training that helps even the most wounded of individuals!

Most of all I'm filled with gratitude for my enroller & friend Vicki Crabtree, she definitely came into my life by Divine Intervention with a Divine Appointment! You've helped me come a long way Vicki & continue to help me more than I ever imagined. I can only hope to support, encourage, & guide my team as well you do us!

Rojuana Bronson, Regional Sales Director
After working in the Health and Life Insurance industry for over 25 years as an Underwriting Manager and Account Executive I soon became stressed out and simply burnt out. As an Underwriting Manager my primary responsibility was to review individuals’ applications for health insurance. Those that were healthy were accepted, those that were not were rejected. After years of listening to people who were declined coverage because they did not meet the company’s underwriting guidelines due to preexisting conditions or other health related issues begging me to insure them since they had families and needed medical coverage to help them with their medical expenses, and me not being able to help them due to the guidelines set forth by my company, I one day decided that I was not doing what I really wanted to do, and that was HELP people. So after over 25 years I walked away from an industry where I was making $80,000 a year!!

My two children were grown; my husband was making a good income so I set out to find something were I could work from home, set my own hours and determine my own pay. I wanted to be my own BOSS! I wanted to find something meaningful, something where I was going to make a positive difference in people’s lives. After looking and speaking to numerous work at home business, I one day ran across an ad in my local newspaper that said: “Work At Home with Benefits”. The ad went on to give more information such as paid daily, no cold calling, no door to door selling etc. I went on the company website and requested an interview. I was later contacted by a wonderful person by the name of April Quesenberry, who later would become my National Sales Director and one of the most respected and admired people in my life.

In the short time that I have been an Independent Business Owner with Ameriplan, I have changed the lives of so many people. Just knowing that every time I speak to someone about Ameriplan®; either discussing helping them with their medical expenses or helping them work from home, I am doing something positive! When speaking to people about enrolling in our medical benefit program, I no longer have to explain the reason why they do not qualify; instead I explain to them why they do qualify!! Every time I help someone work from home, I know that I am playing a positive part in helping that person reach a goal or live a dream.

My freedomathometeam are the best group of people that I have ever been associated with. The encouragement, the praises, the training, the spiritual uplifting is never ending.

We have the best customer service department in the world. These people are dedicated to helping our members. Their only objective is to make sure that our members receive the best customer service they can possibly ask for.

The best part of being an IBO with Ameriplan, is that I’m able to set any goal knowing that it is possible to reach, and that my freedomathometeam is with me 24/7 to help make my dreams a reality.

Finally, to Daniel and Dennis Bloom, I just want to say thank you for having a vision and a dream, and making them a reality. Without your determination, hard work and perseverance, none of this would have been possible. Thanks for giving me and my family a chance to become a part of yours!

See you at CHAMPIONS WEEKEND!

Rhonda Batchelor, Regional Sales Director
On September 21, 2007, I officially became a Regional Sales Director. Currently, I am a Store Manager of a large furniture retail store. I have been employed there for 11, years and have well earned the title Store Manager. In the last nine months, I have gone through a divorce, and have managed not to lose anything in the process. Due to funds running low and I mean real low, I needed more income. I started with Ameriplan®; USA in the middle of August and never dreamed of this being the "part-time" job that was going to make my dreams come true. I am on my way to replacing a large income and being able to raise my beautiful girls. Anyone who has worked the retail hours knows that you miss out on Holidays and Birthdays. I set my self a goal. Thanks to Wanda and Linda, I set this goal very high for myself. This is because I know they will make sure that I reach this goal. My main goal right now is to be a mother full time by March 2008. I will remain with Ameriplan®; while my children are at school. I will even take the summers off with them. I will work my own schedule with Ameriplan®; and will never have to turn my schedule in again for anyone!

You can not possibly use the excuse of not having time. You can not use the excuse either that you are too tired. If you put 100% effort into this you can do anything you want. I work 50 hours a week, maintain a home, take the children to school, and still get to sit down at dinner with them. On top of all that I was able to reach my first goal I set which was becoming a Regional Sales Director by September 22, 2007.

I do have a great love in my life, Steven Ramunno. He has told me several times that he is so proud that I have kept up with this. I would send him a text message to his phone or call him every time I got a new IBO or a new Member. He is the one that gave me all of my motivation to succeed. I need his motivation so much that he is now my business partner.

Thank you so much Wanda and Linda for all of your training and help. I look forward to us all one day going out for a HUGE celebration. Maybe it will be at the expense of Ameriplan®; when we go visit.

Wow, I can't believe it's only been 21 days!! I feel like I have been working with these amazing people for much longer. The teamwork and help along the way has been amazing and the biggest contributor to me making RSD so fast. You are all amazing, especially you, Ron. I couldn't have signed up under a better leader. And thank you Tammy for answering all of my silly questions!

I joined with the hopes of making some money since my husband and I were closing on our first home in less than a month. I thought I would try it for a month and see what happened. Well, I definitely am hooked! My husband was very supportive from day one and we are so excited to keep going. Thanks to everyone who helped get me going. Here's to many more triumphs! Game On!

Ron Lehman, Regional Sales Director
Hello everyone.They keep asking me for my bio!, I'm not really sure what a bio is, I mean I sort of have an idea. I think it is what makes a person tick, So to be sure, I looked it up! Seems the only bio I found was computer related, B-I-O-S. ,or Basic Input-Output-System, In a computer, its what takes all the various input signals, and then sends signals back out to tell all the other components what to do exactly, more or less. So, in a person. It seems to be similar to our brain!!! We all take various input signals(visual-audio-mental(our thoughts), etc, into our brain, and the brain then pretty much controls how we act outwardly, Sounds good to me. So if we allow ourselves to take into our brain good things, positive things, honest things, encouraging things, happy things, pleasant things, guess what? We then have actions that mimic the same things. And of course the opposite is true if you allow negative things, doubts etc.to get in your head. Negative etc. type actions will follow!

About 2 years ago more or less, different influences around me started to suggest that God, the one who created ALL things, who created the heavens & earth, and everything that is therein, who calls the stars in heaven by all their own name,(gazillions of em!) was FOR me, and not against me!(Ps 118:6 The Lord is on my side,). All my life I figured he was always mad at me or against me, etc. After allowing that "signal" to soak in there for awhile, well actually most of the time was spent trying to get thru my thick skull J. Then another thought entered my mind.. that thought was, gee, what would happen if perhaps "I" tried to be for God, and "I" quit trying to work against HIM., and tried to do what HE wanted? BINGO !!!! WE HAVE A WINNER !!! That is a winning relationship, Duh, it only took 30 some years, Since then , things have just gone smoother, and easier, and better. All aspects of my life, relationships etc, everything. Then here comes this business, I could tell it was a GOOD thing, So me and the Lord entered into it! And guess what ???? ANOTHER WINNING RELATIONSHIP !!! We all know the many stories of how everyone just helps everyone ..that's a WIN-WIN relationship! It's a I'll help you & you help me "teamwork" style of business, not a dog-eat-dog business.

Thank you so much Jessica, for just being faithful in plugging your ad in out there, I am a ditch-digger, lawn sprinkler repairman, a welder-fabricator, mechanic, handi-man, how did I ever click on a CS job? Many things happen that are unexplainable. Yet they are undeniable ! It happened. You've been so wonderful.. Tammy, what can I say? I'd go over the allotted print space telling how much you've helped me, Although I think you would've liked to turn me over your knee a time or two..lol..thank you so much for your gracious help. Thank you Winnie & Jennifer, I don't know you as well, but you also have been there in various capacities, and last but NOT least, Thank you so much : Katrina, Yce, Victoria, and Kevin, for what you are thinking, FOR HAVING A DREAM!!!! WITHOUT A DREAM, none of us would be here, It's that Simple ! God Bless.

Michelle Thomas, Regional Sales Director
WOW! I am so excited to have reached RSD! This last three months have been filled with so many emotions and I would not be sitting here writing this if it had not been for my friend and recruiter Liz Bondar and her recruiter Amy Letts. Thank you Liz for first of all being a great friend!! You have helped me achieve so many things that I thought I could not achieve and when I was having a down day and feeling unsure of myself you were right there to pick me up and keep me going. THANK YOU! There are not enough words to tell you how grateful I am and not enough space to keep writing how wonderful you are and what a great trainer you are as well!!

A special thank you to Amy Letts who also has been there for me when ever I needed it even in the middle her moving she would take time out to help me. You are awesome!!! I have to say having someone there to help me thru as made all the difference in the world. I was fortunate enough to meet Amy as she brought her beautiful family to my little girls birthday party. So again in the middle of her moving she took the time to come and meet Liz and I and again I can not thank Amy enough!!! THANK YOU AMY!!!!

I also want to thank Paige Lombardi she has giving me some wonderful ideas to grow my business and help me succeed it just goes to show that there are so many people in this business that want to see you succeed. You are never alone! There is always someone there to help you and answer any questions you may have. So if you are working towards RSD please ask questions. That has really helped me. Janie Jones and Becky Blacka - Thank you for inspiring me to reach my goals and a HUGE thank you to Ameriplan®; for giving me this opportunity.

Ok I am starting to feel like I won an oscar and the music is starting to play to end my speech.

So before I go I have to thank my wonderful husband!! You could not have been more supportive! My family, friends and everyone at Dr. Hicks office- you all have been so wonderful in doing everything you can to help me build my business and support me in this. My three WONDERFUL CHILDREN- I love you so much!!! You have been so patient with mommy. My last thank you is to Noggin for keeping my two youngest occupied while mommy makes calls and yes when I made RSD the first song that came to my head is I did I did I did yeh! If you are a mom you know that song.:-)

If you are working towards RSD DON"T GIVE UP! Ask questions and for help if you need it. It really makes all the difference sometimes all I needed was a little motivation from Liz or Amy and I was back on track.

Thanks again and good luck to all of you who are working towards RSD.. You can do it!!

Dawn Imus, Regional Sales Director

WOW! I am soooo excited! I am so blessed that the Lord provided me with this opportunity, and for the people he has placed in my path. I looked for almost 9 month's for a work from home opportunity and prayed daily that he would direct my path, and that's exactly what he did! I actually had called Danielle, my enroller by mistake. She had sent me information in the mail, which had her business card with a bunch of other goodies about Ameriplan. I saved her card and the information because I was interested. Then a friend gave me a business card for a broker named Daniel to contact about a home loan program. Well I somehow mixed up the cards and called Danielle asking about a home loan. Well, although we were both a bit confused at first, we talked about the opportunity and the benefits. She sent me even more information and I signed up a few days later. (By the way I never did get in touch with the broker guy). I know in my heart, that God planned that conversation; because he knew deep down I was scared to do it for myself. Thank you Danielle for not just telling me I had the wrong number and ending it there.

I have had a lot of obstacles since starting with Ameriplan®; in August, (a month to set up my phone and internet, tornado, and a crashed computer, to name the big ones) but with the encouragement of Danielle Browning, Kathleen Strooband, and Kelly Fuller, quitting was never an option. (Words cannot express my gratitude). Danielle you are an awesome leader and teacher, I look forward to working with you for years to come. Kathleen, you have spent so much time with me letting me listen to live prospecting, encouraging me, and sacrificed for me. Kelly, thank you for the encouraging phone calls, post cards, and for taking time out of your busy schedule to do the RSD training. I can't tell you how much that helped me to narrow in on what I needed to be doing to start growing my business.

I also need to thank my husband! Thank you for taking care of the boys and keeping them busy and quiet so I can be on the phone. Thank you for allowing me to go for it and being an awesome provider for our family.

I know all of you will be greatly blessed for everything you've done. Next goal, SRSD! OH YEAH, I'm in it to win it now!

Tim & Sarah Neo, Regional Sales Directors

It's really a very exciting time for us now as RSDs for Ameriplan. We are both grateful and thankful to our recruiter Danielle Browning and upline ESD Kathleen Stroband for the opportunity to achieve RSDs. These people have been so supportive and kind. RSD would not have been possible without their kind support and guidance.

When we first found Ameriplan, we were really excited. Like Janie Jones in her testimony, we did not want to represent any lotions or potions. We wanted a product that really benefit others and we found that in Ameriplan. Looking back, we’ll really happy that we made that first step. As RSDs now, we’ll work even harder so that more people will learn about and benefit from Ameriplan.

Go Ameriplan!

Tiffany Schmitz, Regional Sales Director

WOW, what a journey!

It feels so good to introduce myself as Tiffany Schmitz, Regional Sales Director.

I am a blessed new Mom of one amazing 9 month old son and have an incredible husband. I am a proud graduate of Washington State University. I enjoy hiking in Gods beautiful country, scrap-booking, cooking, and listening to the ocean. My family is my life. My husband, son, and I live in the beautiful northwest and are only 30 minutes from the great city of Seattle.

It was because of my son that I began my search for the ability to stay home and raise him myself. God answered my prayers when he led me to Chris Taylor. Chris introduced me to my freedom to stay home AND be able to contribute to the household income. Everyday that I look into me son's beautiful eyes he gives me the drive I need to be successful at this amazing opportunity. But I would not have made it here on just my drive; I made it here because of the amazing team and outstanding leaders that supported me every step of the way.

Thank you Chris for showing me that I really could have a career and be a mommy without ever having to leave my home, thank you for your continued guidance and support. Rebecca, thank you for all of your words and wisdom, leadership, and being there for all my many questions. A special thank you, to Tina & Marco Levrant they pitched in the team effort while I was in the home stretch to get me to RSD. Thank you to all of you who believed in me.

Susan Netherton, Regional Sales Director

After spending 20 years (A lifetime to me) working in the Office Furniture industry I wanted out! I had put up with enough, so one day I left my cushy job. I wanted more out of life than just 9-5 drudgery and I wanted more time with my family. It did not take long to realize that we would have to struggle to replace the 30K + income I left behind. I looked for years for a work at home job and tried almost everything. That is until I found Ameriplan. I have not looked back since. I have 2 terrific children still at home and I want to spend all of the time I can with them. Ameriplan®; has allowed me the freedom to enjoy my family. I am working toward a debt free household and a better life for me and my family! I want everyone to have that opportunity!

Linda Rice, Regional Sales Director

RSD! What a sweet sound that is, even to someone like me who is partially deaf in both ears and took a year and 7 days to do so. Hallelujah! I thank you Dear Lord for making a way for me even when there seem to be no way.

I have finally come to realize that God has made a way for me all throughout my life. He made a way for me to get through an abusive childhood outside of my home. He made a way for me to get through a bad marriage where the words of "You are a loser and you can't do anything right. You are lousy at everything" would ring in my ears every day for 4 years until I finally had the guts to say enough is enough and left him. My children who are my pride and joy were no longer going to be subjected to that. I needed to provide them with a better life and God made a way for me to meet the new found love of my life, my wonderful husband Steven who I am proud to say that I have been happily married to for 23 years. My husband not only took on the challenge of helping me raise 3 beautiful children who have now blessed us with 4 wonderful grandchildren but has spent every day of his life trying to put me up on that pedestal. I began to question if I really was a loser because we tried so many different businesses and never succeeded. I was always wanting to try something new and never stuck it out. I even tried Ameriplan®; back in 2005. Stayed with it a few months and did the inevitable. I ended up quitting in May of 2006. I guess the timing just wasn't right.

In May I was diagnosed with Breast Cancer and an incurable Liver Disease that forced me to close my licensed home daycare down. It was 6 months to the day that God made a way for my wonderful enroller and dear friend, Robin Slagle to call me out of the blue and ask me how I was doing. I shared my health issues with her and how my husband was left with no choice but to quit his job so we could use his 401K to save our home. Robin not only enrolled me as a member but signed me back up in Ameriplan! As uncertain as I was at the time she kept saying "You Can Do This and I will help you and I will be there for you." Thank you God for helping me develop the posture that was needed to build my very own little team and watch it grow very slowly one day at a time.

Thank you Robin for being my Godsend, my mentor, my dearest friend from day 1 who has always been there to cheer me up when I was down with her animated characters through our IM conversations or to help me out in my back office when I needed it and for everything that you have done throughout this adventure. Thank you Becky and Sonja for your noteworthy team calls that were so informative and inspirational and for answering my questions from time to time.

Thank you Janie for all your vitamins and nuggets that you have so graciously shared with us. I thank the entire Freedom At Home Team for their support and most importantly Dennis and Daniel Bloom for being so instrumental in starting this incredible dynasty. These people I look up to and admire so much for their strength, their endurance, their patience (LOL) and for their utmost compassion for allowing me the opportunity to return to a company that has proven itself to be beyond words.

I thank God every day for my dearest and closest friend and my 1st IBO, Debbie, for being my rock of GIBRALTAR and being there for me and helping me in all your ways both personally and in our business. For all my new found partners, Pat, Bobbie and Carolin , I promise to be there for you every step of the way and help you reach your first level of success. You all can do this. Debbie, you are next! Go For It Girl! To all the IBO'S out there who are working so hard for their first achievement, keep your eyes on the vision and remember your "why". Your future is in your hands.

Even as I speak today, God continues to make a way for us to get through our ongoing hardships and roadblocks of me waiting endlessly to go back in for more reconstructive surgery, move on with our lives and continue to build our business.

For the first time, in a long time, I am not crying tears of sadness but tears of pure joy as I can now say, "I AM NOT A LOSER, I AM A WINNER AND I AM DOING SOMETHING RIGHT, I AM AN RSD!

GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU AND I WILL SEE YOU ALL AT THE TOP! THANK YOU Ameriplan®; FOR EVERYTHING!

Renita Smith, Regional Sales Director

Thanks, to the Lord God, Jesus Christ. I am so grateful that he strengthens me every day. I am so very pleased to be a part of the Ameriplan®; dream at this moment and time. I thank God that he led me to the website of my enroller Debi Copfer. I am honored to be a part of the best team "Freedom at home."

One of the things that I am so grateful for and what makes me feel the most at home here in Ameriplan®; is the reverence that we are constantly hearing being given to God. Without him none of us would be where we are today. This confirms that I am called to be in this program and that it is a part of my destiny to help the state of healthcare in the U.S.A.

As my husband and I are both nurses, I feel that it is an important movement to be an advocate for those who do not know about the health care benefits programs that are availible through Ameriplan. I am so totally excited to see the growth and development in myself and my spirit.

I thank God for all of the recorded and live calls. They have truly been a whisper in my ear that sounds like a word from the Lord. One morning when I was really down on me; and getting ready to start my depressed routine, the phone rang, and it was Janie Jones, HERSELF! (She sounds just like she does on tape). LOL She called me and congratulated me for winning a December shining star necklace. That was like confirmation, for me. Not only am I going to be great and do great things for Ameriplan, but I will be a great speaker and servant of the Lord; and this is all just preparation for my destiny, which has been prophesized to me from my mother's womb.

Thanks to Rebecca Blacka, Alison Ardinger and Debi Copfer. But a special thanks for my team and my family!

June Santonastasi, Regional Sales Director

I'm a work-at-home Grandma, with one beautiful grand-daughter, Nevaeh (Heaven spelled backwards) at home now and one beautiful grand-daughter to come home to us any day. It is very important for me to be here at home for my grand babies and my youngest daughter who is a single mom. I have my own web design business but needed to supplement my income so that I could continue to work from home. I tried other work at home businesses and never made much money. Usually I found I was my best customer!

I was so happy to find Ameriplan. I knew it was the perfect opportunity for me from the beginning but I was hesitant to sign up because I did not have the startup money. Jennifer Kavanagh called me and before I knew it, I had agreed to signup and was giving her my info. I went out on a limb that day and used rent money to pay the startup cost. I believed in Ameriplan®; from the beginning and it has not let me down.

I would like to thank my wonderful, super, awesome upline and especially my enroller, Jennifer Kavanagh for their support and guidance. I would not have made RSD without their help, support and confidence in me. This year has been one of many personal and family related trials and traumas, but with the help of my team I have managed to stay focused and finally make it to RSD. The key to success and prosperity is too see the vision, feel the vision and never give up, no matter what obstacles or challenges appear in your life. Sometimes easier said than done, but keep the faith and never lose sight of your "why" and your vision.

Thanks again, I truly appreciate you all and am honored to be a part of the Freedom at Home Team and Ameriplan. See you at the top!

Nicole Pearson, Regional Sales Director

I finally made it to RSD! (If you could see me, I'm all smiles)! After I had my first son, I couldn't imagine leaving him to go back to work. It didn't take me long to find Ameriplan®; and I was determined to succeed in hopes of staying home with him permanently. Although I'm still working outside the home part-time, I feel like my Ameriplan®; business is growing and will eventually allow me to stay home with him with him full time!

Not only that, but I'm counting on Ameriplan®; to provide us with a way to have a future full of family time while still earning a great income.

Getting to RSD wasn't easy for me and there were certainly times when I felt like I was never going to get there. Thank God for my understanding husband! Most of the time he just let me work away (sometimes late into the night), taking care of the household chores and our son. I can't say enough about my enroller, Sara and my NSD, Anita. I feel SO blessed to have them on my side. They never stopped believing in me and always picked me back up when I was feeling down. THANKS LADIES, I couldn't have done it without you! As I finally learned, the key to reaching RSD is staying plugged in to team calls, remaining in constant (and I mean daily) contact with your upline and last but not least, changing your prospective to believe that it can be accomplished!

Tanya Doebler, Regional Sales Director

WOW! WOOHOOO! I cant believe it! RSD AWESOME!

I started Ameriplan®; in November of 2006. I spent the first 6 months procrastinating, then the next 3 months reinventing the wheel. As you know, we are all told time & time again not do that. WHY try to fix something that works? We have GREAT leaders that have already "been there & done that", so all we have to do is follow the simple system that they have laid out for us. I have had not Bumps, but Boulders in my way. I even had the whole family "TRY" to crush my Dreams. My husband was my biggest support. I have to thank my husband for staying positive & keeping me in the game, when I would start to doubt my self.

The one thing that truly kept me going was my Baby Girl Brittny Ann.

I have to admit, it was difficult "Smiling & Dialing" when she was screaming and wanting all my attention, but I knew in my heart that I was dong the right thing. It's a great feeling knowing that my daughter will be able to inherit this business. Although my daughter is not old enough yet, I want this to be a learning experience for her. I want her to know that if you want something bad enough, you will get it! You just have to take those Bumps & let them make you stronger, not push you down.

My advice for everyone is to put your Goals & your "Why" in front of you & read it every day. I put the 7 core commitments on my refrigerator and every time I looked at it, I would read #7 "Commit to being here a Year from now". I did commit & I made it! I also want to let those of you that had an enroller quit, or take a break, remember that you can do it without them. Reach for your up-line & NSD's, they are always there for you!

We have lots of GREAT training & support, but in the end YOU have to have the Passion & Desire to Make it work!

THANKS!

First and Foremost, I would like to Thank Dennis & Daniel Bloom.

Thank you for this Amazing opportunity you have given us, to reach for the Sky & make our Dreams a Reality!

I would like to Thank Stephanie, for her Support & Encouragement. Kelley Roberts for her member's script, I used it to close out my last 3 members! Penny Berk, for her Support. Kaety & Janus, for being such a great motivating team. You 2 really got me excited & ready to jump into my business every time I spoke with you! I know you 2 we be reaching RSD very soon! Thanks to all the people from the yahoo group. It was amazing that so many people, I have never spoke with were there with open arms.

Shelly Jenkins, Regional Sales Director

I am so thankful that the Lord has blessed me with AmeriPlan! The verse that I live on is: "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." Phil. 4:13. The Lord has quite a journey for me!

I actually wasn't even looking for a home based business. My son, Preston, was born at the end of February 2007and I dreaded going back to work but I knew financially I couldn't just quit my job. I did go back, but since I worked at a school summer break was not far off. For quite some time my mom had been trying to find something that I could do at home and make a little extra money. One day my mom was talking with another lady about her pursuit to find me a home based position. This lady perked up and told my mom that her daughter-in-law has a home based business. So, my mom got the contact information I needed and told me to call about this opportunity. I don't know why but before I even called my enroller I knew that this was going to be an opportunity of a lifetime and I needed to do this!! When my enroller, Jocelyn, answered we immediately connected. She told me all about Ameriplan®; and she graciously answered all my questions. Due to tight finances, I didn't have the $95 to get started but I knew that I was going to do what it took it get that money. I wanted to do this so bad I could taste it. When I was able to start I was so excited that I enrolled on a Saturday!

I am so blessed to stay home with my 10 month old son, Preston. I truly could never go back to a high stress, low paying job again. I especially love the fact that I don't have to miss Preston's growing up years because I was at work. I am already amazed at how fast he is growing up. I am able to cherish every moment with him.

I made RSD almost three months to the day from enrolling. In those three months I learned so much about this amazing company and about myself. I thank all my new found friends for help, support, and the encouragement I needed to succeed. I am so thankful for my wonderful husband. He encouraged and continues to encourage me daily and believes that I can truly change our lifestyle! I am so excited for this journey that I am on! Next stop, SRSD and the National Training School!

Tischia Boring, Regional Sales Director

I did it RSD! While I feel a bit like I have just graduated kindergarten and I am at my recognition ceremony, you have to make the first step to get to the higher places of advancement. So since this is the first step in laying the foundation of my business, it is huge and it is so important.

I owe EVERYTHING to God first! God is so good and he is my all. Then a big thanks to my wonderful best friend and husband Joe along with my beautiful daughter Madison. They have been my biggest cheering section along with my Dad--thanks "Daddy".

I also want to thank my enroller Vicki Crabtree. She is always there when I need her and a consistent flow of encouragement and support. To Kelly Fuller thank you SO much for offering the contest to go to Champions weekend. I simply could not have gone without it! Also to my roomate at Champions Cheryl Houston, you are a great encouragement and we will both be on stage next year at Champions! See you there. So I am believing in great things for the future next step SRSD here I come!

Go Get Your Blessings!

Althea Pearson, Regional Sales Director

Whoooohooo! I've always been encouraged reading the "promotion recognition letters" and have waited from my turn.

On low energy days I remembered, Trust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not to thine own understanding, in all thy way acknowledge Him and He shall direct thy path.

Thanks to Jehovah God, for all His countless blessings, for the gift of life and the opportunity to communicate with him through prayer. It was He who led me to this wonderful opportunity, and have continued to answer my prayers.... To Him I give the Glory. I found this business in November 06. I sat on the fence for several months researching the company and wrestling with the question of taking that next step. I finally did call Vicki Crabtree. After so many months I was sure that she would have forgotten who I was, she did not.

Thank you Vicki Crabtree.YOU ARE THE BEST!

Thanks for sharing this business. I truly appreciate your honestly, all your support, tips and prayers. You are a great leader and a true friend.

Kelly Fuller, thanks for your dedication and commitment to the growth of our team. Thank you Janie and Michael and all the NVP and others who have so generously give of their time to support our team for all the training calls and the daily emails.

To my family: thanks to my husband for his understanding and support and my 3 babies (6, 4, 2) for always cheering mommy on. To my team of IBOs ...I am humbled to have you all as business partners. Include God in your business, harness the power of your thoughts, DECLARE YOU SUCCESS AND WATCH AS GOD WORKS IN AND THRU YOU. LETS DO IT- ALL THE WAY TO NVP!

To quote my husband,
"All journeys begins in the mind.
Sucess begins with one's will. Its all a state of mind. Life battles don't always go to the stronger or faster man. But soon or late, the one who wins.
Is the one who thinks he can."

Terrie Dias, Regional Sales Director

Woooohoooo, RSD! I am so thankful and blessed to have found Ameriplan, THANK YOU GOD! Thank You to my Awesome Upline Vicki and Kelly for all of your patience, support and guidance! I started searching for a work at home opportunity while I was pregnant. I found many get rich schemes that you had to invest a lot of time and money into, which I did not have either of. I did a lot of research about Ameriplan®; before deciding to join. I decided if I could help improve lives and earn a living from home with my new baby, why not at least give it a try! What a life changing event joining Ameriplan®; has been. I recently left my job of 13 years to stay home with my new son. This would not have been possible without Ameriplan. Ameriplan®; is truly a blessing and it has changed my family's life forever. I am proud to be apart of an Organization who cares and wants to make a difference. I look forward to a life long relationship with Ameriplan®; and helping others find their freedom from home. See You At The Top!

Ken & Mandee Smith, Regional Sales Directors

My name is Mandee Smith, My husband Ken and I have four children , the youngest two are twins. Working outside of my home was something I never wanted to have to do, but it was a struggle to make ends meet! I so desperately wanted to find a way to make money from home!

A few years ago I started my journey, searching over the internet for a way to make money from home. Wow, what an experience! So many opportunities and many "fake promises", nothing ever seemed to be the right fit for me. In March of 2007 I came across an Ameriplan® add almost by accident.

My husband and I had recently prayed for an opportunity that would allow us to work together as a team, as well as creating more time for our children. In years past, we have served together, living and working for a Christian retreat and youth camp. Ken currently serves as the administrative pastor in our church and we oversee the youth ministry together. We have come to realize that God really brings us joy when we work together, commit our work to HIM , and serve others. We are so excited about the opportunities available to us with Ameriplanï¿½.The leadership and training is outstanding! We have met so many people who share our goals and passions in life.

It is a great feeling to be able to help others in so many different ways & at the same time knowing that we are building "Financial Freedom" & "Lifetime Residual Income" that we can hand down to our children and grandchildren!

Each week has had it's challenges and rewards, it does take constistant work and dedication ! We started this venture by comitting our plans to the Lord (Proverbs 16) and will continue to ask for His guidance and blessing as we continue this journey!

Nicole Joltin, Regional Sales Directors

RSD! WOO HOO! Finally made it. I had searched and searched for a work at home opportunity and thank God I found Ameriplan. I kept telling my husband that there had to be something I could do from home to make extra money but I didn't want to do parties or push products on family & friends. Now I won't have to go back to teaching because I will definitely make more with Ameriplan®; than with my teaching degree! I can have freedom at home and always be there for my son when he needs me. When I started I knew quitting was never an option because I would be in the same boat a year from now if I quit. Working for someone else again and sending my son to daycare is not an option anymore.

Kristen Cote, thank you for always taking the time to answer my questions, give advice, and be a cheerleader for me.

Bernadine Overton, Regional Sales Directors

I am married with two daughters, and I am enjoying my stay with Ameriplan.

I have a full-time job, so I work with the company part-time. Ameriplan®; has proven to be a great work at home part-time job, especially after experiencing other part-time jobs at home, that just hasn't worked out. I have found that Ameriplan®; delivers what it promises and more. I am approaching retirement, and I'm looking forward to continuing with Ameriplan®; full-time, along with my husband who has already retired.

Everyone has been very supportive. I have witnessed a very successful, hardworking team here at AmeriPlan, which has given me more incentive to continue with this company.

Gloria Moore, Regional Sales Directors

I am so happy to be part of the Freedom at Home Team with Ameriplan. This company has given me hope for the future and the leaders on this team have been able to share their vision with me. It is really exciting to take the first step on this journey and I believe reaching my goal of Regional Sales Director is an important starting point to a wonderful career!

First I give thanks to the Lord for helping me find Ameriplan®; at this particular time in my life, and for giving me something I truly believe in. "Ask, and it shall be given you; Seek, and ye shall find; Knock and it shall be opened unto you." Matthew 7:7

Next I cannot say enough about the support and leadership I have received from Nicole Safley (future Senior Regional Sales Director) and Theresa Dosch (future Senior Executive Sales Director). Their friendship, encouragement and love has been my safety net.

Listening to audios by Wendy Hiemenz, Kelly Fuller and Janie Jones makes it easy to believe ANYTHING is possible in this business. Little do you know how your words buzz around in my head if I ever start to doubt myself. I look forward to meeting all of you at Champions Weekend in the near future! Thank you to the DreamLivin team, Cheryl Connolly, Katie Lentz, Theresa Jones & Mary Crockett. This business can truly take you anywhere you decide you want to go as soon as you put your heart into it.

My why is my family. To be able to leave a legacy to my children and grandchildren is what helps me love what I do.

I want them to know it doesn't matter how fast you start out in life, it's that you finish the race. It doesn't matter if you fall down and skin your knees, it's how quick you get back up and dust yourself off that counts.

Even grandmas can reach for the stars here because age is just a number. "Life is a journey, not a destination ~ who we become is our gift to ourselves"

Wow! Just a three letter word, but for me right now it packs a powerful range of emotions.

First, I would like to extend a round of applause and deep felt thanks to my Enroller and Friend: Win Woody. I never would have rode the roller coaster without her guidance, encouragement and most of all her patience. Thanks, Win, You are A#1 and I am Blessed to have enrolled with you on that particular day.

I want to Thank my Life Partner Barb, whom without, I would not be complete. She has been with me and on my back towards the goal line.

My Team Members for whom without, this never would have happened. I am amazed at the stamina and attitude of our Team. Thank You.

I am living proof, that anyone can come in and achieve their goals. Ameriplan, it is for me, you, and everyone who sees the whole picture. We are helping people save money and helping people make money. It is that simple. As long as you never forget that, you will reach the top rung on the ladder to freedom at home. It seems like it took so long, but now it is one big blur. I do not even remember my initial conversation with Win. It seems like I signed and then was Rockin and Rolling. Just Remember and appreciate the Team Spirit and Guidance that is available. Don't be afraid to use it or ask for it. Everyone is Cheering and waiting to help you on. Janie Jones has built a Truly Special deal here. Many Thanks to her for having that Vision and for her guidance on the calls. I want to also thank Susan Goodnight for her help and gentle nudging these last few days. I am Blessed to have you in my corner also. I want to emulate you and Win in helping my Team Members. Last to my four legged Children. Who have gone for a few less hikes, since this started and have laid by my side while I achieved RSD. I love you Lakota and Moka Shu.

Tim Hayes, Regional Sales Directors

I am a husband, father, and grandfather! I have a beautiful-loving-supportive wife, four wonderful children, four grand-daughters and my first grand-son on the way! Life is good!

I have been self-employed most of my life. Yes, I owned part of the "Great American Dream", to be in business for myself. For the most part, the efforts gave my family everything we needed and most everything we wanted; it was a good living. It raised our children and took care of our needs. However, I have nothing to show as far as a retirement. All of the profits were used as a salary or invested back into the company. Now our children are grown, it is just my wife and me, and I procrastinated way to long in funding any kind of financial plan for the future. I'm still young but, I did not want to work for the rest of my life either. I knew there was a way to work, build a residual income, and have the life I wanted. My dream, which I share with my wife, is to live "Full Time" in a Motor Home and travel around the country as we wish.

For several years now, I have been involved with a few different Network Marketing companies. I have been searching for the right company, with the right product and the right structure to earn a "True Residual Income" from the comfort of my home (or motor home) and have a financial future that would be secure. None of the companies I tried before every amounted to anything to speak of, and simply, was not the vehicle to get me where I wanted to go.

Then I found Ameriplan®; in December 2005. With AmeriPlan, I know I have found the "Vehicle" I have been searching for. The product is in a huge demand, the company's training and support are second to none, and I achieved Regional Sales Director in my first 30 days and was off to a great start. In the last two years, my wife and I have sold our former business we owned, we've sold our house and most all our "stuff", we now live full time in a 36" custom motor coach, and are living our DREAM! I work Ameriplan®; when I want, from wherever I want - and go where we want, when we want. Ameriplan®; has allowed us to start living our dream now while I am working part- time and earning a full-time income! We are building our company while on the road! We love it! The checks keep coming in on a regular basis and keep growing larger everyday! We will be NATIONAL SALES DIRECTORS "on the Road"! We are looking forward to help others reach their goals and what ever dream they wish for and start them on their way to a "True Financial Future"!

Thank God for AmeriPlan.

My passion to help people live a better life began in 1994 when I entered the mortgage industry. For over 13 years, I taught clients to look at their mortgages as much more than simply a loan to get a house, but also as a springboard to obtaining wealth. . I've had the experience of building a company from the ground up. Not only was it expensive, it took up 75-80 hours a week of my time. The interesting thing about owning your own business, one that is not leveraged, is once you stop working the income also stops. How do you live your dreams worrying about how the bills will be paid?

As I moved into the next stage of my life, I realized that my mortgage career allowed me to live a very comfortable lifestyle, but in order for me to continue to grow, things needed to change. Understanding the importance of being able to live your dreams and create your own destiny, pushed me to begin my search for a home based business opportunity. That opportunity would have to provide my family, one day, a gift from me in the form of a legacy.

Since joining AmeriPlan, I have finally conquered my 8 year search for a legit home based business. This was definitely true victory! I am excited and grateful that Ameriplan®; has offered me the tools to succeed coupled with a fabulous leadership team that feels like an extended family.

I am 32 years old and I am on a plan to build a global team for the next 10 years minimum, with AmeriPlan. Talk about commitment, huh! The best piece of advice that I have received to help me succeed with Ameriplan®; was two-fold: 1) Have passion for the company and the services 2) Never give up! I am doing both, which almost guarantees my success.

Come join me in building bridges to wealth!

Amy Blizzard, Regional Sales Directors

Hi, my name is Amy Blizzard. I happened across Ameriplan®; while searching for a new home based business. I had been operating a small business out of my home (mostly) for ten years. Most of the time I just broke even, some months I made money ($2-400.00 a month), others it cost me more than I made. So, it didn't make sense any more and I stopped. ( We DID MISS those home office deductions!)

I have been a stay at home mother for 19 years. We have a 15 year old and an 19 year old. My husband and I decided at the beginning that we would make whatever sacrifices necessary so that one of us was always available for them. We thought that when they reached adolescence, I could maybe go out and get a job, they wouldn't need supervision as much, you know? WRONG! We found out quickly that the "terrible twos" are not half as well, lets say interesting as the "terrible teens" (you remember, that time in all of our lives when we already new everything!). Obviously, my need to be there was more crucial now than ever. What a challenge these years are!

So, in an effort to stay sane, and still be able to help out, I started looking for something else. My husband has always been a great provider. But, he works 60-80 hours a week, God love him. (Always has, wants the best for us) He recently went back to college, (now you can say working hours over a 100 a week, the man requires no sleep!), and my daughter has started a private christian school. So, our outgo has increased alot!! But, our income, not so much. It's time for me to step up to the plate!

After a few months of searching, I found out that there are a lot of scams out there. They wanted money up front, then once they reeled you in with promises of granduer, they wanted more money, and more money, but never sent any money back in return!! I had just about given up, when Kelly Fuller called me. She told me about Ameriplan. Thank God!! I researched the company, and realized that I had found the "needle in the haystack!".

I love the fact that I can help people in so many situations, without insurance, with terrible insurance, or that have the need, or the desire, to work from home, and actually get paid!! Everyone needs healthcare, not wants, needs! Not everyone can afford it, but anyone can afford Ameriplan! You can bless people, save people, from little to no healthcare, all the way to financial freedom.

So, check out Ameriplan, research it, listen to testimonials, check out the benefits, our benefits, pay schedule, mentors and constant, actual, real people that are always there to hold our hand through any situation or question that we may have. It isn't too good to be true. If you are willing to roll up your sleeves and get to work, you CAN have financial freedom!! Join us at the Freedom at Home Team today, you will be glad you did! I hope to speak with you soon!

October 2008 Reaching RSD, or arriving at this Really Special Day as I started picturing it in my mind, held some interesting hurdles. Taking almost five months to get here, I had to keep reminding myself that it is often not the destination, but the journey that is important. For me, this part of the trip was a process of catharsis.

Seven months ago, I had a great job as an Executive Director of a non-profit. I even worked from home 70% of the time. However, just eight months prior, I was plunged into a downward spiral. At that time my father went into dementia /Alzheimer’s almost overnight. Within weeks he had no memory of anyone. Within a few months, and just one year ago, my brother was diagnosed with cancer, passing away within 10 days from his diagnosis. My mother, who had a disability, had been living with my brother. So I walked away from my job and made the move to Florida to care for my mother. The day after arriving, she too was diagnosed with cancer. My Mom passed away in May, only eight weeks after I moved, and only 7 months after my brother. With the tremendous loss I was feeling, I knew only one thing! I did not want to throw myself back into a full time job in human services. Losing my entire family left me emotionally depleted, and I understood that I needed to take some time to grieve and to heal, and I could not even think of helping others at this time.

After taking 3 months off, I began to look ahead knowing that I had to locate employment at some point. There was a mortgage and other expenses staring me in the face and I was watching my savings dwindle. But something just kept me from looking for that traditional job. Instead, I gave it up to my faith in God, that something would unveil itself and show me a new purpose in life. And then there it was... one day as I was looking at the want ads in my Home Town News, it jumped right off the page, “Benefits Brokers Needed. Work from home! www.stayinginmyjammies.com.” I thought surely there is karma involved and is what God intends for me. In my previous job, when people would ask me what I did for a living, I always told them I stayed at home “writing grants in my jammies!” Was this not a sign? As soon as I went to the web page and asked for an interview, I received a call from my enroller, Kim Lerner. It was like that moment in Jerry McGuire! “Ameriplan®; had me at hello!” And if anything was going to give me the same freedom that I had in my last job to work from home, then this was going to be it. There was one major difference though! I would now be working for my own rewards, and the long-term possibilities were limitless. The clincher was that after almost 20 years in human services, I knew I did not want to sell something that people didn’t need and probably couldn’t afford. And I also knew firsthand from my job how many were going without healthcare, “This was something I could see myself involved with!” I could help others on the way to getting what I wanted, after all!

The first challenge I faced, was that when I enrolled, I did not pay close enough attention to the fine print that noted the states we DID NOT operate in. Within the first few days of setting up my “Grand Opening Announcement” to send all my friends and family from where I previously lived, I realized that almost everyone I knew was not eligible! You guessed it; they resided in Alaska, Montana & Wyoming! But I kept listening to my enroller and upline for guidance, (Kim Lerner & Susan Goodnight You Rock!), and looking at the CORE Commitments thinking, I surely can be here a year from now! Thank you, thank you, and thank you! You are both spectacular! And Janie no words can truly capture what an inspiration you are!

And to the many new RSD’s that passed before me, your stories inspired me on so many levels. They were constant reminders that although I had a tough period in my life, there were plenty of other people who had experienced similar, if not worse circumstances or tragedies than what I recently experienced. And yet, you were putting one foot in front of the other moving toward achieving your goals. Wow - Incredible!

Over these months, I kept thinking of the mantra in human services when you are trying to change an environment! “Multiple Strategies across multiple domains!” And I thought about how much Ameriplan®; really employs that strategy. To date there has not been any ONE thing that has proven to be a perfect approach that personally helped get me to this point. BUT, there have been numerous opportunities for learning the model practices AP trains on. And these many small things are what are proven to be a near perfect system for success! If you stick with it!

My friends, children, and life partner, Frank, have also pushed me. But mostly they never threw out any negativity or asked “Are you sure this isn’t a scam?” From day one they encouraged me to just “Go for it!” And for my grandchildren!I do this for you Dacia, Arizona & Kennedy!

To my downline, thank you all for your encouraging words. You were all so helpful and patient with me as your team leader. We have all been on the learning curve together. A special thanks to Kim Hubbard, and Bunny Johnson, I know each of your stories and challenges. That you too are here, serve as an inspiration to me! And now it is your time! Remember, be here a year from now and I will see you guys at the top! Blessings and thanks to the entire Ameriplan®; family! I am so looking forward to the rest of the journey!

I'm from Elkview, WV! I have been married to my husband Tim for 28 years. We have two great daughters. Michelle, our oldest is 25 and Amy is 23.

I wanted to find a good way to make money from home. So a few years ago, I started searching night after night on the internet to find a legitimate company.

Eventually, I came across Ameriplan. I knew immediately that I had finally found the opportunity that I was searching for. They have been in business for 15 years and They also offer dental and vision benefits, which is something my family and I did not currently have. So I jumped at the opportunity to be part of Ameriplan®; and I am really glad I did!

Ameriplan®; has given me an opportunity like no other! I am working with a GREAT!! Team, have dental and vision benefits, plus I am able to spend more time with my family and friends.I never gave up it took me longer to reach RSD because of family problems. I knew with Ameriplan®; my family would have financial freedom. So never give up!

This is so awesome! I am so happy to have found AmeriPlan. If there was a prize for the IBO that took the longest time to get to RSD, I would definitely get that one! I joined Ameriplan®; in March, 2006 after finding out that health problems I had would keep me from going back to work. Also not qualified to receive Social Security Disability I was faced with a big financial problem. After days of self pity I decided to look into working from home. I signed up online for more information and the next day my enroller called and gave me the information. I of course said ‘I have to talk to my husband’ and he agreed with me that this could work for me. It would give me the flexibility to work when I felt okay and rest when I needed to. It would also greatly help our financial situation. I definitely saw the big picture. I did all the training, attended every GIDR Team Call and FAHT Call the first month, the second month, the third month, the fourth month ,etc. I didn’t think I could talk to anyone until I knew everything. For my first year I hit a lot of walls and kept falling off when I tried to climb over it, but quitting was never an option. It was at the end of August, 2007 when I started the 90 day challenge, that I made a promise to myself that I would take all I have learned and start working as hard as I could and make it to RSD. I knew with time, training, confidence, persistence and praying that this day would come and it has!

The journey was long, but a great one! I have met so many wonderful people with AmeriPlan. I would like to th
