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.

Joel and Terry Chevrette, Regional Sales Director
What a great feeling. We want to start with our thank yous. GOD has been there with us in our journey with AmeriPlan® so first and foremost; THANK YOU GOD. To our IBO, Sedi Devoe; to Denise Lynch and Pennie Berk. We have the best upline in all of AmeriPlan®! To our children; Kayla who writes my postcards and Alyssa who rides her scooter while putting out flyers and to both for helping us with chores and watching their baby brother Big thank yous! We guess we will put you in the will for our residual income!

My husband and I were looking for a work at home business. I signed up through a moms chat site. We both wanted to work the business but we both worked full time and we have 3 children. There just wasn t enough hours to work this business the way we wanted. We chose to keep me home even though we were not sure if it would be financially possible. Joel did get a promotion at his job shortly after. He did not get this promotion by fate; he got it so that I could continue to do AmeriPlan® and be home with the kids. We continue to make small sacrifices to grow our business and it is paying off! We don t eat out as much, Joel doesn t play golf as much and I no longer waste money at the mall on clothes and jewelry. We have a new passion! Leads are like playing the lottery. You never know when you will sign up a Janie Jones or who it will be. When I make a call it is like scratching that lottery ticket to see what s underneath. It is very exciting!

Even though we just made RSD, we have a large group of IBO s that are just fantastic. I love helping each and every one of them. Getting to know them and what their dreams are and how I can be the one that helps them achieve them. Reaching RSD is exciting but I cannot wait to see the excitement when someone on my team makes RSD. Like the joy a mother has for her children s success. My AmeriPlan® children are special to me and we are going to the top! So make some room, Janie Jones; my children and I are on our way!

To those just starting out. Make sacrifices for your business. You don t think twice about going to McDonalds to buy a value meal, a coffee from Starbucks, convenient store drinks,etc. Save your $7, $3, $1.29 times however many times you do this in a month and buy some leads, get a car magnet, print up some flyers. Invest in you and your business. Plant seeds to reap your harvest. It will be YOUR harvest that you worked for and it will be magnificent! Don t ever give up.

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!

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!

YES! What a blast! (Well, mostly) Ive heard about those cheerleaders in Dallas and now I know one thank you, Shauna, for cheering me on, all the way to RSD. You really have been great! I feel truly blessed by your contagious enthusiasm and patient, kind nature. And I even got to meet you yea! I look forward to knowing you for a long time too, girl, so youre stuck with me! You have been an excellent source of knowledge and always just a phone call away with the answers! Thank you, thank you for everything!

A huge thanks to my family whose participation in this journey has been sacrificial and giving and very much appreciated! My boys have a new vocabulary: brokers, members, benefits, flyers, and "Moms workin her BNESS!" They are my wonderful helpers!

The online training and tools provided by the freedom at home team have been incredibly helpful. Thank you, Janie Jones, and many others who have contributed their experience and paved the way for us!

To all you new IBOs, I would say this, make a habit of doing something every day that will make a difference in your tomorrow! You are planting seeds, lots and lots of seeds! Dont hesitate to talk to your warm market your friends and family want to see you do well, and helping you may be as simple for them as just keeping you in mind if they know of someone "IN NEED OF THIS AWESOME SERVICE!" Talk with them about whats going on in their life right now and SHARE what is going on in yours and it will just come naturally.

Im very proud of my IBOS who have so recently made the decision to sign me up on this venture! Kerry, Ruth, Amy, and Melanie, thanks for your trust in me, and for your genuine desire to work this business as a team!

Thank you, AmeriPlan®, for this opportunity, challenge, and experience! Im so looking forward to the next chapter, and the next, and the next.

We can rewrite the story that history has handed us, not only for us, but for our children. - Suze Orman

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.

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 begu
