A Vitamark Success Story

We asked the #3 Top Vitamark Diamonds for 2007, Roberto & Cleta Torres, to tell us how they built a successful Vitamark business. Here is their story:
Our Vitamark Story

Cleta and I discovered network marketing through one of our martial arts students. Cleta was always after me to join one of these companies as she used to say. I always told her no way! Those things are scams. Here I was commenting on something I knew nothing about.
However, I knew that I did not want to be a Police Officer for 30 years and continue to live in Long Island, New York. We knew we eventually wanted to move to Florida, the Sunshine state.
Although I loved my job, I did not like being told what to do or when I could have a day off. We both come from entrepreneurial families. Cleta is from Jamaica West Indies and had learned from an early age to work hard for what she wanted in life. My parents came to the United States from Puerto Rico in 1952 and instilled in me the same values.
So, we decided since I had six years to go on the Police force we should do something so I could walk away when I was eligible for a full pension. Having been involved in the martial arts since I was eight years old, then appearing on the cover of Inside Kung-Fu magazine, the natural conclusion was to open a martial arts school.
Well, just to open the doors of that school cost us $30,000 dollars! Then we had to build the cliental and all the bills were due the next month. Nobody asked me, are you doing ok, can I help, and is your business growing? Nope. All I knew was I had to pay those bills. Thank God, our school grew very fast and we had to expand in 90 days to a bigger location.
However, we had lost all our time freedom. We were working at the school from 4:30PM to 10PM Monday through Friday and on Saturday from 9AM to 12PM. Then Sunday was spent cleaning the school and preparing for Monday.
We were coming home during the week at 10:30PM – 11PM to have dinner as a family. Plus, I was still working full time as a Police Officer.
After being in many companies and having various degrees of success, we came upon Vitamark International. Because of Vitamark’s management and streamlined business model, we knew it was the right business for us and our family.
We also knew with the way Vitamark is structured it was the best option for the average part-time person to be successful.
We thank God we found this opportunity and grateful that Michael and Linda Dlouhy chose to be our sponsors.
The Value of Good Advice
I was taught by my parents don’t quit. Go after what you want. If you want to be something, you can do it. I also learned from John Milton Fogg how to take my dream and turn it into my vision, and then turn that vision into reality.
John taught me to write down what I wanted in life as if I was already living it. Then he told me to go start to experience it. Go look at the kind of house you want, the kind of car you want. Make it real in your mind. We appreciate John for teaching us this important lesson. Today I continue to grow and learn from two great mentors, Mr. Art Jonak and Mr. Tom “Big Al” Schreiter. We are truly learning how to be professional network marketers from these two masters of our profession.
Overcoming Obstacles
The biggest obstacle I would say we had to overcome was having belief -- both our own and that of our family and friends. While some of them did not believe we could be successful, we had to make a choice as to what we were going to believe as our reality.
We chose to believe in abundance, success, empowerment and prosperity. Today we are very glad we chose that as our reality.
What you believe is so important, you must choose carefully.
Our Life With Vitamark
Vitamark has been a blessing. It is part of the reason we are able to now travel the world in luxury and live in our dream home. It is amazing to be involved in an opportunity that is not only paying us well, but also has life changing products.
Limu Plus is a big hit in our home. Everyone drinks it from our ten year old daughter to my 84 year old mother. The results have been amazing. In fact, my mother is now learning to swim in our pool with her granddaughters due to the way she feels by taking Limu Plus.
Our Support System
My mother and our daughters are the in home cheering team. They are cheering us on all the way. They keep up with what is happening with our Vitamark business. Even watching the volume on Saturday nights and asking us. Did you guys make Diamond again? Then comes the victory dance. We are joyful that we have such support from our family.
Our sponsors and upline team have also been supportive with systems and tools in place to help us build our business. They always do their best to be available for 3-way calls and some coaching when needed.
We now look to offer the same to all our brand new team members as they join us in the great opportunity called Vitamark International.
Our Advice To New Affiliates
We would say focus on the activities that will allow you to grow your business.
Never quit and don’t worry about what everyone else may be doing. Follow the system your successful upline has laid out for you and don’t re-invent the wheel.
Spend at least two hours a day on the activities that will create success.
Those two activities are sponsoring and retailing. This is how you build your check.
The last thing we would say is focus on building your check and everything else will fall into place. Team growth and pin levels will be achieved by focusing on these things.
Our Dream for the Future
We are looking forward to building a large Presidential distributorship with Vitamark International.
Our goal is to help as many people as possible achieve their goals and dreams. We are also looking forward to doing more travel as we gain more time freedom. Some of these trips will be with our team members. That is exciting!
