Jacob Guttman
April 2008 LifeWave Leadership Award Winner
My name is Jacob Guttman, I am 54 years old, born in Jaffa, Israel. My parents, survivors of the Holocaust, having immigrated to Israel after World War II, have joined efforts with many others in building a home for the Jewish people.
I have a lovely wife named Relly, who unconditionally supports me, and three adorable children; Two boys and one girl.
Throughout my entire life as an adult my aspiration was to become an independent worker, and so, after two years of working as a salaried employee I started my own business, selling babies' accessories.
A few years later, I opened my own furniture store; turned to interior design and imported leading Italian kitchens together with managing three exhibition halls.
In 1999, I was introduced to the network marketing model for the first time in my life and found it difficult to believe that such a perfect model actually exists. Until that day, my life's motto was: becoming singular and do things no one else can. This motto gradually made me working around the clock, up to 20 hours per day. I had to spend time with my children on weekends only. I did not have time for myself and business errors have left me in a difficult economic situation.
Once I was introduced to the network marketing model, I realized that I could lead my life differently, become simpler, do a number of actions anyone can, teach others to take the same actions and succeed. Up to the time, I believed that in order to succeed I had to be singular and develop things others cannot. Yet I faced the perfect model which allows equal opportunity to anyone, anywhere, without limitations of sex, age, education, religion, nationality or skin color. A model that allowed a true opportunity to anyone determined to succeed. The model did not require any financial investment but trading money with excellent, unique products - something we do anyway on a daily basis, without asking for anything in return.
In October, 2007, I was introduced to LifeWave's wonder patches for the very first time, by Dr. Ilan Grinwald. Ever since that day, I decided to spread the word to every household in Israel if these patches really work.
I joined LifeWave starting with the GOLD package; I began using the patches myself, distributed them to people closest to me and the personal stories started to emerge... ever since that moment it was clear to me that this is a unique product with an opportunity for millions of people to improve their health and economical situation.
During the following six months I personally "harnessed" more than twenty enthusiastic partners and in a short while, thanks to wonderful supporting people, willing to teach others of ways to succeed, I found myself surrounded with a group of over 950 friends - A constantly growing number.
LifeWave offered me a home, a supporting company. We would not have achieved what we have, without the excellent support and service we constantly get from the professional LifeWave team.
LifeWave operates according to one of the best business plans I was familiarized with, in that industry. It is balanced, friendly and allows people to earn money even through a partial job.
In October 2007, I was very excited to receive an official appreciation certificate from the company - a Rising Star Award. In November 2007, I was once again excited to receive a Director certificate and in December, truly excited, I received the Super Star Award.
The success secret of the system is by simplifying its components; working through a uniform system with the entire group; becoming the product of the product; using at least two of the company's products each month and making sure that your family is using the products regularly. Duplicate this system with as many households as possible and teach others to do the same - that's the secret.
An additional secret is in supporting your people and leading them to greater achievements and success than your own.
Thank you for choosing me as the leader of the month.
Yours,
Jacob Guttman
