Gary Reck had a successful practice as an eye doctor and wasn’t looking for a new career. Gary laughs, recalling her announcement that she was starting an Amway business. “I said to her, ‘So I’m going to start buying our toilet paper on line and retire from medicine?’”
Kym responds, “To me it made perfect sense! I would be buying all thse produts anyway. A lot of our friends had families, high incomes, and busy lives. I was interested in giving people more quality in their lives. I knew that I’d get Gary’s attention if I started making money and so I did”, says Kym.
Gary noticed. “Initially, I felt this business was out of my comfort zone, but I recognized that this was Plan B our retirement. It took me a long time to plug in. I’m still a work in progress, but we’re in it together now.”
Kym enjoys focusing on women like herself, “One of my passions has been to help empower women. This business is a tremendous vehicle for that…85 percent of our business is single people, many of them women.”
Gary’s passion extends to the next generation, “The era of getting a job and having it guaranteed forever is gone. It’s exciting to teach young people to take control of their own futures. There are no glass ceilings in the Amway business. We are here to help build self esteem and success with the next generation.”
“We have found that our success is determined by what we give. Our focus goes far beyond our personal goals. We believe corporate America promotes selfishness, and our Amway business focuses on helping others be successful. That’s the environment we want our kids to be around.”
