Faces of FHTM

After 23 years in the financial services industry, Bob Budd was ready for change. Following his desire for change, Bob opened a coffee shop only to discover he now had a job that required working too many hours for not enough income. For Bob, the real change came with his introduction to network marketing. He says, “It’s been one year since my wife Lin and I joined FHTM Canada and we are already living the dream!”

For the Budds, FHTM is a family affair. Not only are Bob and Lin business partners, but two of their children are also Representatives with FHTM. “We have discovered that although financial freedom is great, having the time to enjoy it is even better,” says Bob. Since joining FHTM, Bob spends more time with family, as well as pursuing hobbies such as traveling, golf, and tennis. “Today,” he says, “I would never go back to working like I was before. I’d rather be building my own business with FHTM Canada.”

Chris and Joni Budd do not take their success for granted. Having lived paycheck to paycheck, they understand the grim reality of trading your life for a few dollars. Network marketing has opened up their possibilities and given them the freedom to live their own lives. After working with another network marketing company for a while, the Budds joined FHTM in 2006, after hearing about FHTM’s outstanding potential. “We love having more time and money in our lives and all the freedom that goes along with it, so FHTM was an obvious choice for us and our future,” say Chris and Joni.

The Budds are a terrific business team. Chris helps people feel comfortable and have fun, while Joni delivers the information. Together they are intent on becoming seven-figure annual earners and reaching one of the top five earner positions with FHTM. Winning trip and car incentives, along with other recognitions, is a terrific part of being with FHTM. But the Budds both agree, “The freedom of the FHTM lifestyle is definitely our favorite thing about it!”

To Shorty Olson, FHTM has become more than just a way to earn a little extra money. Shorty’s FHTM business has turned into a family affair. His brothers and sisters in-law, Clint and Karen and Buck and Sheila, are also successful FHTM Representatives. Shorty finds inspiration in his brothers’ determination to succeed for their families. Shorty also finds it inspiring to talk to those members of his team after they have received their very first FHTM cheque. Seeing his teammates realize their potential in the business is what keeps Shorty motivated to help others.

RSM of the Month

Cepy Byumanine

Cepy Byumanine, an RSM from Ottawa, ON, owes his success in FHTM to a pastor and friend. Although Cepy was looking for a second job to support his family, his friend was not aware of this and invited him to an FHTM presenation.

“At the end of the presentation, it was like a dream – a dream in which I believed. I said to myself, ‘it’s now or never’.”

After informing his wife of his decision, Cepy started working his FHTM business. However, it wasn’t as easy as he hoped. “It was like trying to settle in a new country where you have to learn a new language before you can succeed.” He took it one step at a time, though, and quickly managed to gather customers and get some of his best friends to join his team. Cepy promoted to RSM within just 5 days of his enrollment date!

Looking ahead, Cepy is ready to conquer whatever is thrown at him in order to succeed in FHTM. “For me, FHTM is matter of life and death. I want to become a Presidential Ambassador as soon as God enables me simply because no other company in the world will provide me with such opportunity. The sooner I can reach the next level to help others, the better.”

Cepy has great tenacity and faith and wishes to help new Representatives form the vision he has created for himself and his family. “To new Representatives, I say fear not. God has already placed people around you to carry on your business. ‘There is something worse in life than having failed, not having tried’ (Unknown).”
