RECOGNITION - DIAMOND
Alex called Julio and had Steve Scott on the phone.
Overcoming adversity and daring to dream
Julio and Maritza Rivera, of Puerto Rico, said they are privileged to be
the first Associates outside of North America to reach the Diamond rank.
But far more important for them is helping others achieve the same goal
and fulfill their dreams. They feel their advancement will help create a
stampede of Diamonds on their team in the near future.
The Riveras have overcome adversity to get here. In 2009, the Riveras
were dealing with a very difficult political situation involving some
Associates on their team. It was serious enough that it threatened to
completely undermine their efforts and pull the rug out from under their
business. Their friend and mentor Alex Monterrosa assured them that
Max was a solid company and they would pull through. A few days later
“Steve offered his unconditional support,” Julio said. “The certainty of his commitment to us was without
question. It was the most stunning thing that has ever happened to us.”
Steve Scott offered to come to Puerto Rico to host a Max meeting. Julio promised he would have at least 200
people at the meeting. He went immediately to work to keep his promise. When Steve showed up in Puerto
Rico he spoke to a packed house of over 800 people. That was the beginning of the path that led to achieving
Diamond.
Diamond Associates
“It helped us achieve something even more important than Diamond,” Julio said. “It helped us gather a group of
leaders that are committed to the same objective and our team Dream Builders International was born.”
