Norm and Pam began their business journey after 10 years of marriage and after being separated for 1.5 years. Their successful reconciliation is a credit to the family values and spiritual strengths gained by association in this business. They were committed to learning and growing as individuals and as a couple through the WorldWide DreamBuilders system. As hope and faith in each other grew, so did their business dreams and goals. Both were hard-working professionals and had achiever attitudes, both liked helping people, both felt they had a bigger potential in them that was not even tapped yet – they never imagined it would be the Quixtar business that would unleash their destiny.
Norm immediately recognized the brilliance of the business, but Pam was hesitant. Three fears led to her cautious attitude: time commitment, the severe debt they were in, and “what people would think.” How did Pam come around? You ask! As she attended meetings and became aware of the professional system WWDB has put together, these fears were overcome by knowledge and resources. Most of all her enthusiasm and joy came because of people just like you! Pam’s faith grew through attending functions and meeting her upline, the leaders who would help them. She and Norm fell in love with people who would be their business associates, and saw the genuine desire of their hearts to reach out and encourage others to be the wonderful, unique person each of us can be.
Did Norm and Pam believe that right away they'd go Diamond? No, but there was a faint flicker of hope that this couple – in debt, with 3 children, and a pathetic marital relationship could maybe, just maybe do it. They knew that if anyone chooses to treat Quixtar professionally and respectfully the way it deserves, puts in 2-5 years of proper effort – it will return unto you.
At the Ruby level, and with consistent counsel, Norm retired from his corporate position managing numerous skilled nursing facilities. Two years later the Kizirian family (four children ages 15, 10, 8, and 5) were on a Free Enterprise Day stage holding hands in victory for having attained Diamond.
Pam’s eyes well up when she thanks Norm for not listening to her when she begged him to quit. Through God’s strength, upline encouragement, mentoring, and Norm’s consistent and persistent effort – much serendipity has been experienced. A true blessing has been to be able to care for Pam’s parents and her developmentally disabled sister, Cheryl, in their own homes. Cheryl had a “special” wedding August 2003. Even better than all these blessings is having the best friends on earth with whom to be in business, and to share the vision of a better nation and world, friends of integrity who pray for each other.
Norm and Pam are grateful and humbled by the opportunity to travel and speak to thousands of people about the Quixtar business opportunity and WWDB. One of the most often asked questions are “Is it worth it?” Was it worth it to be willing to change for the better, to become accountable and teachable, to associate with wise and prosperous people willing to help them, to read success principle books, to learn to communicate and appreciate, to become better spouses and parents… to have a peace in your heart, yet excited that you are doing a good work - is it worth it? – You bet! And it will be for you, too!
The most remarkable experience wherever they speak is the incredible abundance of human resource of life stories waiting to be shared – they have looked into your faces, your eyes, and your hearts – they see that glimmer of hope, they see the human potential God placed in you to do good works and live a great life. They believe in you with all their hearts; they wish for you to know that, “This is a simple business plan to share – mix it with hopes and dreams from one heart to another. Joyfully pour encouragement into others and you will know it has been worth it for you!.”
