Platinum Associates
Max combines the best in the industry
Sheila and Carlos Marquez, of Yabucoa, Puerto Rico, are excited to have
reached this significant milestone at Max and hope their story will help their
fellow Associates and dreamers accomplish the same.
Carlos said that growing up he was always taught that the path to realizing his
dreams was to study a specific discipline or trade, then build a career around
that—which is what he did. Reality taught him a different lesson, however, when
it took him seven years after graduation to find a job in his chosen profession.
Then, even after finding a decent job, stability was fleeting. At one point he was
working for a private company that was going through a lot of changes. It soon
became clear he would either lose his job or his salary would be drastically
reduced.
Carlos was grateful to a friend who, at this stage in his career, helped him work
his way into the educational system, which he thought was the solution to
his professional problems. He would soon find that this also wasn’t all it was
cracked up to be. He talked to retired teachers and saw that their lifestyles left
much to be desired. Most of them were barely generating enough income for
the basics in life and were doing well to avoid bankruptcy.
Meanwhile the Marquez’s debt was growing along with their young family. Their dreams of prosperity were slowly becoming
nightmares and they were praying for a solution. When a friend introduced him to network marketing it seemed to be
the answer they were looking for. But this too created at least as many challenges as solutions. Over the course of three
businesses, success came and went. It got to the point where Sheila asked Carlos to choose between her and the business
they were working. Through it all, the greatest thing he gained was experience. He was building the skill set that would allow
him to make the most of the opportunity when the right company came along.
When his good friend Julio Rivera asked him to watch a video featuring Steven Scott he felt almost immediately that this was
it and he finally found his niche. “The background, abilities and vision of this man, Steven Scott, were remarkable,” Carlos
said. “The product he was selling seemed truly unique.”
His experience on the product confirmed this, exceeding his expectations. Carlos flew to Salt Lake City to meet with Max
executives and ended up joining the company along with Julio, and Hector Marcano. Mentored by his sponsor, Julio, he has
been able to refine his skills and build a strong team at Max.
“I decided to start doing things the right way, being lead by my upline Julio Rivera,” Carlos said. “Julio and Maritza have truly
impacted our lives for the better. The good thing about network marketing is you can start over every day. I knew that Max
had all the elements we needed to achieve our goals and if I failed it was my own fault.”
By focusing on creating a duplicatable system and helping their team build to Bronze, their entire team is experiencing the
success they dreamed of, including Mario and Glendalize Eliza, who have advanced to Gold.
“We want to send out the message to all of the Max leaders in the world, and especially in Latin America that this is a real
and unique opportunity,” Carlos said. “There has never been a better time to get involved with Max.”
