Very cool … check out the Dornan’s 50 FAA point section and the Parting Words from Bob Andrews as the outgoing Chairman of the IBOAI.

One more example of the heart of Network TwentyOne staff and the Business Owners they serve!

OK, I picked this one because I think the Blue Men are kinda cool (and a little creepy) just like me.

I like this one 'cause it shows me in my element... with the peeps. .. and they included my chubby hands.

...and this one because sometimes even n21guy likes to feel pretty.

Caressa was introduced to the ARTISTRY brand with the other contestants prior to the competition, when each received a selection of products and information about the brand.

Throughout her reign as Miss America, Caressa will also serve as proud endorser of ARTISTRY skin care and cosmetics. As such, she will use the products, talk about the brand at some of her public events, and she’ll even make a few appearances on our behalf. First up, Diamond Club in beautiful Hawaii. If you’ve earned your ticket to Diamond Club, get ready to meet Miss America in person!

While nothing too shocking about what Robert proclaims in his article, many of us will certainly be nodding our heads in agreement as we read it… and it always nice to see some positive press about Network TwentyOne’s founder Jim Dornan from an impartial person with insight and credibility.

Read it and let me know what you think!

2009 was a landmark year if for nothing else … it was the year I was “born”. It has been great and I have loved getting to meet so many of you and also interviewing so many of our global leaders. The Podcasts, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and this website have all been useful tools for spotlighting the amazing global community that is Network TwentyOne.

.

Amway turns 50 – What a great celebration and a statement about the viability and strength of the Amway business opportunity. I was fortunate enough to be in Ada and Las Vegas for the celebrations and the vision of so many leaders from around the world coming together to celebrate Amway’s success.

.

Network TwentyOne celebrated “20 Years of Excellence” in Las Vegas with hundreds of Diamonds and above from around the world. As John Maxwell pointed out in addressing the Network TwentyOne Diamonds, “the global leadership team of Network TwentyOne is truly unprecedented and to be respected for the achievement it represents.” And it is in just such an environment with so many leaders brought together from over 25 countries that we begin to recognize the strength and power of our “global community”.

.

Jim and Nancy Dornan were recognized for achieving 50 FAA points and spotlighted in Amway’s Achieve magazine (click here to read the article). In addition to this Jim and Nancy were presented with a check from Amway for $2,000,000.00 in Washington DC at our annual Free Enterprise conference… and yes that is their new Hawker 800 jet in the background that they spent their FAA bonus on. Nothing like seeing leaders reinvesting their earnings back into building their business.

.

Network TwentyOne launched it’s 1st iPhone application which while not changing the way anyone is building their business, showed it’s globally affiliated business owners that they are serious about embracing technology in unique and relevant ways. Also look for major changes to Channel-21 this year that will, amoung other things, allow subscribers to view the streaming content from their smart phones.

.

Network TwentyOne North America launched it’s new website (www.n21.com) and with it a new video on it’s homepage entitled “We’re Not Guessing“. Look for a similar look and feel on other Network TwentyOne websites including n21corp.com in 2010 as we continue to invest to support Network TwentyOne affiliated business owners around the world.

.

We added iReport to n21guy.com to allow Network TwentyOne affiliated business owners from around the world to submit photos and short articles from the events they attend.

Network Of Caring surges on to the scene in a big way with the addition of it’s new Chief Significance Officer RD Saunders who many of you have already met as he travels around the world sharing the amazing stories of your generosity and kindness for those in need.

Here is a quick post of a sweet pic of Jim & Nancy Dornan, Bob & Terry Andrews with Chris Gardner… the real life man after whom the movie Pursuit of Happyness staring Will Smith was made.

Like the Dornans and the Andrews, Chris is a remarkable person with track record of achievement and a desire to give back to the community.

I’ve said it before but it begs repeating … those cats at the IBOAI are definitely looking out for us IBOs/ABOs around the world … add to that the fact that they are pretty smart and you have a righteous combo!
