Learning & Growing

Norm and Pam began their business journey after ten years of marriage and after being separated for nearly two years. Their successful reconciliation is a credit to the family values and spiritual strengths gained by association in the World Wide Group support organization. As hope and faith in each other grew, so did their business dreams and goals. Both were hard-working professionals, had achiever attitudes, both liked helping people, and felt they had more potential in them that was not tapped yet. This business would be the vehicle to unleash their destiny.

Brilliance Recognized

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 would people think.” How did Pam come around? As she attended meetings and became aware of the professional support organization World Wide Group had put together, her fears were overcome by knowledge and experience. Most of her enthusiasm and joy came because of people just like you! Pam’s faith grew through attending functions and meeting her upline leaders who would help them. She and Norm fell in love with people who would be their business associates, and who saw the genuine desire of their hearts to reach out and encourage others to be the wonderful, unique individuals each of us can be.

A Flicker of Hope

Did Norm and Pam believe right away they would go Diamond? No, but there was a faint flicker of hope that this couple—in debt, with three children, and a strained marital relationship—could maybe, just maybe do it. They knew that if anyone chooses to treat this business professionally and respectfully the way it deserves, and puts in the proper effort, an incredible life can be theirs.

An Opportunity of Freedom

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 were on a Free Enterprise Day stage holding hands in victory for having attained Diamond.

Trips, Trips, Trips

The Kizirians have taken many blessed and enjoyable trips due to the money and freedom this business affords. Some of the kids’ favorites are Peter Island, Hawaii, Mexico, Europe, Colorado, Disney World, Disneyland, Chicago, Washington D.C., Alaska, New York City, many national parks, and Canada. The family also enjoys their lake cabin near Yosemite National Park, only forty-five minutes from their home.

Home Sweet Home

The Kizirian home is a welcoming two-story, blue and white “Kizirian” Country Tudor with six bedrooms, seven baths, two living rooms, two kitchens, a family room, a parlor, a dining “tea” room, two offices, a multipurpose and pool room, a workout room, a sauna, and five-car garage. The lawn areas are great for many fun games and outdoor dinners. There is a lagoon-style pool, waterfall, and Jacuzzi, and a fire pit that seats twenty. Many cobblestone paths meander through the yards and rose gardens. The front park area has a four-tiered waterfall/pond stocked with koi. The home sits on a hill and twelve acres overlooking two lakes and the ninth hole of a championship golf course.

Strength, Encouragement & Mentoring

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, they have experienced many serendipities. They’ve had the joy of giving to church and charities, putting their children in private schools and colleges of their choice, owning nice cars, attending sports activities, having financial security, and tackling medical challenges with top health professionals. A true blessing has been to be able to care for Pam’s parents and her developmentally disabled sister, Cheryl, in their own home. Another blessing is having friends with integrity and faith with whom to be in business and who share the vision of a better nation and world.

Was It Worth It?

Norm and Pam are grateful and humbled by the opportunity to travel and speak to thousands of people about the business and World Wide Group. One of the most often asked questions they hear is, “Was 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 to appreciate, to become better spouses and parents, to be financially free … to have peace in your heart, yet excited that you are doing a good work—was it worth it? You bet! And it will be for you, too! The most remarkable experience wherever they speak is the incredible abundance of life stories waiting to be shared. They have looked into your faces, eyes, and hearts—they see that sparkle of hope, and the human potential God placed in you to do good works and live a great life. We believe in everyone with all our hearts! We wish for everyone to know that: “This is a simple business plan—just 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 and the people you help.”
