Faces of FHTM
Watch some of FHTM's top Representatives share their stories on The Reel FHTM.
Presidential Ambassador
Presidential Ambassadors are Independent Representatives who have attained the National Sales Manager level and have been appointed by the Executive Staff of FHTM. These elite Independent Representatives must meet especially lofty qualifications, while demonstrating the leadership skills deemed necessary to effectively represent FHTM as a recipient of the company’s highest honor.
Chris Doyle
Chris Doyle believes the three F’s: faith, family and finances are the most important things in his life. While he and his wife Judy center their family on these principles, the Doyles still know what it is like to experience hard times. For 18 years, Chris owned a successful manufacturing business. The introduction of NAFTA caused his company’s business to decline. Chris found himself going from a strong, positive cash flow to tens of thousands of dollars in losses per month. After closing the doors to his manufacturing plant, he could not find work for over two years and eventually took a job he absolutely hated. Even though Doyle was named a Presidential Ambassador in 2006 and a member of FHTM’s Ring of Honor in 2005, he admits he was skeptical about FHTM when his nephew, Bronson Doyle, attempted to get him to attend a meeting. “I stood him up three times before finally attending.” In 2002, Chris joined FHTM, making the decision that would change his life. Driven by his goal to be debt-free, Chris viewed FHTM as an option offering “low investment and unlimited opportunity.” He now credits FHTM with helping him beat the depression brought on by the decline of his previous business venture. Doyle says he realizes he cannot make others want what he wants in terms of success. However, he offers this advice to new Representatives: “Believe in yourself and never quit! Never get financial advice from broke people!” This advice is serving Chris well, as his business continues to thrive.
Joel McNinch
As a successful manager at a Fortune 100 company, Joel McNinch was miserable because he lacked financial independence and the freedom to manage his time as he chose. Then, in November 2004, Joel joined FHTM, impressed by the generous compensation plan and the security the business provides. “Working for FHTM is an opportunity you can’t be downsized from,” he says. Joel believes in helping other men and women succeed as they grow their business. “There is something very rewarding about having an impact on the way people live,” he says. Joel appreciates his own income, saying it “opens up options that you may never have considered.” Joel would like to become a cash millionaire within the next few years and retire at a young age – a true success by any measure.
Mike Misenheimer
A self-proclaimed goal-setting fanatic, Mike Misenheimer joined FHTM purely on faith. “I hadn’t even seen the business plan, but I believed in Paul Orberson, Ruel Morton, and myself,” says Mike. Using his business philosophy – “Help others get what they want and you’ll get what you want” – Mike’s dream has become a reality for himself, his wife Brenda, daughter Bailey, and sons Drey and Eli. They are now able to contribute more to their church, community, and family than ever before. By keeping his goals in focus, Mike has enjoyed true success through FHTM, including being named to the 2006 Ring of Honor.
Ruel Morton
Ruel Morton epitomizes success. Born and raised in eastern Texas, he was brought up in a lower-middle income household. Ruel says he never understood very much about business as a child because no one he was around knew much about it. Almost everyone in his blue-collar town, including his father, worked for the local steel mill. There was little opportunity for personal or professional growth and the town itself was incredibly dependent upon the steel mill. About the time Ruel was leaving for college, the steel market crashed, causing all 5,000 employees of the local mill to lose their jobs. It was a devastating time for the town. The pain and loss Ruel saw around him made him never want to work for someone else. He never wanted to be reliant on another person or company just to put food on his own table. Because of this determination, Ruel has become a huge success in the network marketing industry.
Intent on becoming his own boss, Ruel chose to major in business. “Business is finding an unfulfilled need, and filling that need. Business is not a guy in a suit and tie behind a desk. It is whatever we do every single day. You can own your own business and work for it.” Ruel believes many Americans know how to make money for others, but not for themselves. Children today are told to go to school, get good grades, begin a job, work the rest of their lives and then hopefully retire someday with enough money. Ruel challenges that mentality. In his line of thinking, it is the responsibility of people to make success stories not of others but rather of themselves. Ruel is recognized for his success by other Representatives. Steve Jordan, who was sponsored by Ruel said, “I truly owe any success that I have had to his coaching and knowledge of the business. In my opinion, he is a master communicator. I have learned so much from him. He has been a true inspiration to me and my team.” Because of his hard work and dedication to the field, Ruel was a 2005 inductee into the Ring of Honor and a 2006 Presidential Ambassador.
Todd Rowland
Todd and Ashley Rowland, from Florence, South Carolina, cite their spiritual Christian walk and family as the most important aspects of their lives. Through FHTM, they have been given the opportunity to grow in both of these areas. Before joining FHTM, Todd worked as a football coach for ten years, during which time he helped lead a team to the 5A state championship in Arkansas. The salary of a football coach left the family of five financially strapped, however, prompting them to join FHTM. Todd and Ashley have met the goal they set when they first started their business in 2001. “We have met our goal of replacing our annual coaching salary with our monthly salary in FHTM. We now want to use FHTM to become completely financially independent.” In addition to the financial gains this family has received through FHTM, they also enjoy the freedom owning a business provides. Todd is able to set his own schedule while meeting new people daily. He also enjoys the travel and the different experiences he has had while working the business. When asked what advice he would offer a Representative just starting in the business, Todd answered, “Set your goals and dreams high and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t achieve them.” Todd’s hard work earned him a place in the 2004 Ring of Honor. He was also named a Presidential Ambassador in 2006.
Steve Jordan
Steve Jordon and his wife Shelly believe the most important thing in life is family. Through FHTM, Steve and Shelly have been able to realize their dream of being full-time parents to their daughter Shelby and twin sons Hunter and Parker. “FHTM offers long term stability and a strong pay plan with unlimited potential,” explains Steve. He finds the key to success through FHTM is having quality products that Representatives can get behind. “Our True Essentials line has changed the way I live my life,” he says. Steve believes anyone can find success if they “jump in the pool and swim like crazy.” As NSM, Ring of Honor recipient, and a Platinum Lexus owner, Steve’s own success story is rock solid.
Gilbert Anderson
As the first person to open an FHTM business in Canada, Gilbert Anderson knows the importance of building a good team. “You can never build a dynasty by yourself,” says Gilbert, “but with the right team, you can do anything.” Gilbert claims that it is his team that makes him successful. He enjoys working with committed Representatives who are willing to set goals and work toward them. Though he is aware of the sacrifices, Gilbert believes the right attitude, coupled with the ability to dream, will enable others to succeed. “FHTM gives the average person like you and me a better chance at winning,” he says. Gilbert also believes in the power a positive attitude can have in business. “Your attitude is everything,” he advises. “Change your attitude and I guarantee you will change your results.” Today, Gilbert is proud to be part of such a strong team, striving for success with FHTM.

Teresa Morales and Alexis Adame
 |
Teresa Morales and Alexis Adame aren’t ones to back down from a challenge. When they joined FHTM in 2004, the young company had yet to offer materials in Spanish. This posed a problem, as many of their friends and relatives in Texas were Spanish speakers. Determined to make the most of this opportunity despite the language barrier, Teresa and Alexis showed the FHTM products, services and opportunity in English and translated into Spanish themselves. It was a difficult process, but their persistence paid off. They are now proud to say that they haven’t worked for anyone else in over five years. Though FHTM now offers materials in Spanish as well as in English, six years ago Teresa and Alexis weren’t willing to wait for that to happen. They knew the opportunity was too good to pass up. “Opportunities don’t get lost,” says Teresa. “They just go to somebody else.” |
Jerry Brown
Jerry Brown’s business philosophy is simple: “Don’t just look for a superstar. Be a superstar.” As a former military man and full time pastor, Jerry took a stab at network marketing through another company before joining FHTM. Jerry finds that the teamwork available through FHTM and the terrific product lines offered, give him the sincere opportunity to succeed. His leadership skills help him to accomplish his mission of helping others while gaining their respect and loyalty. To FHTM Reps just starting out, Jerry offers this advice: “the only way you can fail in this company is to quit.”
Bob Decant and JoAnne McMahon
Bob Decant and JoAnne McMahon are no strangers to working as a team. As the former owners of JCM Builders, they chose FHTM for the leadership, vision, and experience it offers. “What I like best about FHTM is the flexibility to work at your own pace,” says JoAnne. “We are both working toward the same goal, each with our own unique style.” JoAnne credits the corporate staff for inspiring the duo. “Knowing we have them at the helm makes me very comfortable,” she says. JoAnne and Bob feel very confident in their future, thanks to their philosophy to see each job all the way through. They advise anyone just starting out to follow the motto “Failure is not an option!”
Terry and Sandi Walker
Once Terry and Sandi Walker decided to join FHTM in 2004, they never looked back. “We were tired of working all the time, with no time for family,” says Terry. Because of the low start-up cost, Terry and Sandi were able to embark on the path to their dreams, despite having little money to invest and no previous business experience. Terry and Sandi possess a “can-do” attitude and say failure is not an option. “We love helping other people just like us … we will pour our heart and soul into their successes,” Terry says. The Walkers are thankful for the opportunities brought to them by FHTM, and they credit the vision of Paul Orberson for helping to build the business and grow the company that has created financial freedom for their family. To sum up, Terry says, “I believe we are in for the ride of a lifetime!”
Roger McKay
Since joining FHTM Canada in November 2005, Roger has moved forward quickly. In February of 2008, Roger attained the level of National Sales Manager. Roger’s drive and dedication to his team move him steadily onward toward his goal of Presidential Ambassador. “That’s the Pool I want to play in!” he laughs. Roger’s positive attitude, persistence, faith, and passion for FHTM has never steered him in the wrong direction. Helping people win is Roger’s goal. Listening to their hopes and dreams and helping them overcome obstacles along the way is what he enjoys most about working his FHTM business. “I want to add value to the lives of others. FHTM gives me the opportunity to add value to my family’s life and achieve my personal goals by helping others achieve theirs. I don’t know of a better business model than FHTM.”
Sheri Winter
Sheri saw FHTM as a business opportunity she could believe in. Her “you can do anything” attitude was perfect for this path to financial freedom. She carries that perspective through every aspect of her business; including team building. “I would like to have the most financially successful people in my downline that FHTM has ever had! Presidential Ambassador is what’s next for me!” She plans to reach this goal by helping other people be successful in her downline. With Sheri’s persistence, positive outlook, willingness to help anyone she knows, and love for this business, she sees no limit to how high her business can grow. Her most important goal, however, is to fulfill the call God placed on her life in every area. Sheri now feels capable of doing that through the time freedom and financial freedom she has earned through her FHTM business. “FHTM is the vehicle that will allow me to ultimately fulfill my destiny.”
