Chill Talk with Founders Executive Diamonds: Bong & Quintina

GAR Founders Executive Diamonds Bong and Quintina are graduates of prestigious universities and were standout rowers in university. Despite receiving job offers from well-known financial institutions, they soon realized that traditional jobs did not allow them to control their lives. Upon discovering Amway, they were drawn to its business model, which offered low costs, low risks, and the potential for long-term returns. This aligned with their desire for autonomy and personal growth, inspiring them to embark on their entrepreneurial journey. Through Amway, they connected with like-minded partners and built a happy family along with a vibrant, youthful team. They focus on nurturing the potential of each team member, providing guidance and support through community-building. Their success not only fulfills their personal goals but also positively impacts those around them, proving that achievement is not limited by age or background but is rooted in the commitment to excellence and adaptability.

1. What attracted you to Amway, leading you to leave stable jobs?

Our initial motivation for pursuing Amway was to gain financial and time freedom, freeing ourselves from the constraints of traditional jobs for a more fulfilling lifestyle. While our banking careers offered solid benefits, we lacked autonomy and the opportunity to pursue our ideals. We ultimately committed to Amway, which provided a low-cost, high-reward opportunity. With support from the company and our team, we achieved income levels comparable to our previous jobs.

As we explored Amway further, we discovered its greater significance. It serves not only as a business platform but also as a way to strengthen family relationships. Watching leaders travel with their families and provide overseas education for their children inspired us to create our ideal family life. Additionally, seeing leaders confidently share their successes motivated us, affirming that hard work brings pride and honor to their families, driving us forward.

2. What role does "partnership" play in Amway's 50 years of success in Hong Kong?

Partnership is essential to Amway Hong Kong's success. As entrepreneurs, we navigate a constantly evolving market that requires adaptability. Amway always care for people, valuing the needs and feedback of ABOs through open communication to address challenges and provide tailored support. For instance, the Core Plus+ Incentive Program offers additional bonuses that motivate everyone and enhance competitiveness.

We felt especially valued upon achieving GAR Founders Executive Diamond and were given the option for personalized recognition, including family photos and videos recording that captured unforgettable moments with our core team and families. Such gestures reflect Amway's core values and effectively motivate partners by recognizing their efforts. Therefore, "partnership" goes beyond business collaboration; it fosters mutual growth and support, laying a strong foundation for Amway's ongoing success in Hong Kong.

3. What do you believe is the key to effectively connecting with partners from diverse backgrounds?

Building community connections is essential. We need to foster trust through sincerity and openness, especially in today’s fragmented information landscape. Deep mutual trust is crucial for encouraging active and meaningful interactions between both parties. We maintain ongoing online and offline engagement. Online, we use social media to share insights and spark interest among partners, enhancing understanding. Offline, we organize events that allow everyone to share their enthusiasm and warmth, reinforcing emotional connections. We also leverage the unique strengths of partners from diverse backgrounds, as each individual brings valuable perspectives that enrich our collective vision. Community connections provide vital support and guidance, serving as a treasured asset. By maximizing our community's value, we can create a team that drives business growth together.

4. What sport would you compare to developing an Amway business?

I compare developing an Amway business to rowing. Although they may seem different, both share many similarities. First, consider technique. Rowing appears simple, but achieving precision in every movement requires consistent practice to maximize power. Similarly, Amway is built on straightforward principles—Sponsoring, Selling, and Servicing—but these demand careful refinement for true success. Next, foundational skills are crucial. Many believe rowing relies solely on upper body strength, overlooking the vital role of leg power. In Amway, focusing only on sales without the backing of values and fundamentals poses the risk of neglecting the cornerstone of success. Finally, teamwork is essential. Rowing requires high levels of coordination among team members, where unity is more important than individual differences. In Amway, while everyone seeks personal success, the ultimate goal is to contribute to the company's collective mission.
