Recently several Network TwentyOne leaders in Ukraine partnered with Network of Caring to distribute wheelchairs in their nation. To have mobility as a disabled person in many countries means depending on a loved one to carry you or even crawling on the ground. Many of the handicapped choose rather to just stay home with no life and little hope. Our leaders in Ukraine saw this need in their country and responded with great generosity. They rallied their IBOs, raised tens of thousands of dollars, assembled the chairs, and distributed them to 550 disabled people around Kiev. It was such a positive, rewarding experience that the Ukrainian leadership wants to distribute over a 1000 more wheelchairs! Congratulations to these leaders for partnering with Network of Caring in such a large way and for catching the Dornan’s vision that there is no success without significance.

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

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. Click here for more information on this amazing charity founded by Jim & Nancy Dornan and the Network TwentyOne global leadership.

.So that is just some of the “sweet happenings” in the world of Network TwentyOne … but certainly not a complete list by any means… have something to add??? Do so in the comments section below as I’d love to hear from you.

Enjoy and enlightening video about a great sport filled with wonderful achievers!

OK, so this is very cool and worth sharing. As you may know, the founders of Network TwentyOne, Jim & Nancy Dornan, have been committed to “giving back” and helping others for many years. In fact, one could say that what motivates them most is to find ways to give back. In the coming months we’ll get a chance to see more of this and give an opportunity for Network TwentyOne affiliated business owners around the world to share in and even be a part of the many global outreaches that the Dornan’s support.

One passion of the Dornan’s has been sponsoring Power Wheel Chair Soccer and helping to bring the entire sport into a national and international level of play. Through the commitment of time, people and resources, Jim & Nancy have been fueling the surge in growth of Power Soccer throughout North America.  Check out this latest press release about the recent win of Altanta Synergy (the team of the Dornan’s son Eric pictured right) in this year’s America’s Champions Cup which took place in Atlanta, GA last month.

“The Atlanta Synergy Power Soccer Team dominated arch-rival, the Circle City Rollers 4-0 to win the Americas Champions Cup.

Before Oct.24th, 2009 Synergy had not beaten CCR, with the most recent loss being a 5-4 nailbiter on penalty kicks in June of ’09.  In each tournament in the past both Synergy and Circle City put up powerful performances before meeting in the final match, always with a Roller victory.  But this time, sharp passing, timely shots, and a stifling defense overwhelmed the team from Indianapolis, giving Synergy the champion’s trophy.  In the two days and 6 matches of the tournament, Synergy outscored their opponents 33-0, with every player making a significant contribution to the championship.”

I don’t know about you, but this is another reason I just love the association with Network TwentyOne… being affiliated with people who are working for success is refreshing… but being affiliated with people who are working for significance is rewarding. Well done Jim, Nancy and the entire Network TwentyOne Global Team and congratulations Atlanta Synergy on your win!!!

Check out this great video below that shows the top ten points from last month’s tournament … inspiring stuff indeed!!!
