I had great intentions of individually writing everyone back as I felt you each so deserved that.  You have touched my heart with your words.  The timing of all these “Congrats” email messages has been perfect since Dave was in California at our Summer Conference and I was home unable to go due to the pregnancy.  How strange to miss my first weekend seminar as a diamond!  I have felt so loved and applauded these last weeks as the email messages continued to come in.  As they continued, I realized I wasn’t going to be able to reply to everyone individually.  We are so thrilled to have stayed the course and have Diamond done. Yay!!!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write us.  Please know you all as our Network 21 family have been our motivation, encouragement and the driving force in why we wanted to build it.  We so wanted to earn your respect and prove we could and would.  I couldn’t be more proud of Dave as I have daily watched him along the journey.  As impressive as he may seem from CDs let me confirm he has more than impressed me with his work ethic, values, love and handling of people.  He is a natural at this business, but even he didn’t start there.  I couldn’t respect him more as I daily watched his decisions and focus. There were many days that we so needed your stories, CDs, and encouragement.

Thank you to all of you that have played a role in helping us get where we are.  I look forward to meeting so many of you that we have yet to meet.  We look forward to more travel in the future.

Many of you had also congratulated us on our new addition, Ella Grace.  What a doll she is!  We have been blessed with another great baby girl. I wanted to include a couple pictures just so you can see the girls.

Please know how deeply touched we were by your messages- Thank you!

Love,
Jules Dornan

We all know that when anyone in our Network 21 family becomes a Diamond, it is special. As the parents of New Diamonds we are so excited to celebrate and share the news of the Dave and Jules latest achievement with all of our friends and partners around the world. What a special moment this is!

After five years of focused effort, sacrifice, life (newly married, raising their first child and expecting baby #2, “driving the miles”) and under the lights of the Dornan name and visibility; this is a truly amazing accomplishment indeed.

Amway Global has officially confirmed Dave and Jules status as brand new Diamonds and we are so proud of all they have done and become… we are sure you are too.

With the unique “succession plan” aspect of this wonderful business, it must be very encouraging to all of our friends that Dave and Jules have not only chosen to build, but that they are so effective, committed and passionate. The future looks very bright and the team will be in great hands for many years.

Nancy and I look forward to having Dave and Jules begin to come along side of us as we grow our family Amway business to greater heights, and help more and more of you reach your next goals. We will be looking for ways to balance their desire to see more of you globally…with their need to enjoy this time with their young family, each other and to keep building their own business.

We pray that their example, in business and in life, will serve as a continuing model for what is possible, and how the fruits and rewards of our efforts are worth the struggle, fears and doubts that all leaders experience.

Please feel free to congratulate Dave and Jules directly here in the comments section and join us in this exciting celebration. This is only the beginning.

With love from very proud parents,

Jim & Nancy

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.

Want to see more submissions?

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!

To that end I have set up a new page on n21guy.com called The Dornans Spotlighted. And what better way to kick off a focus on the Dornan’s achievements than to bring you the the latest article written about them in the December 2009 edition of Achieve Magazine.

To check it out, simply click on The Dornans Spotlighted at the top of the page or click here.

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.
