MAX WOMEN IN ACTION
FINdING BALANCE
Support and success through Max Women in Action
Elaine Lynas and Tammy Gingras
President Mike Larkins praised women as the backbone of this industry. Every day they care for their
families, run taxi services—taking children to soccer practice and to and from school—and any number
of other activities on top of building a Max business or supporting their husbands in doing that.
Max Women in Action is one of the cornerstones of Max Living. It will consist of events, webinars and conference calls
specifically designed for women, to help them successfully navigate through the complex tapestry of their lives. Max
Women in Action began as the result of a conversation between a group of women on their way to an event in Rochester,
New York, last November. Tammy Gingras and Elaine Lynas spearheaded Max Women in Action to inspire women to
maintain balance as they build their Max businesses.
“When you’ve got an incredible business like we’ve got here, you want to find time to make it work,” Elaine said. The
group has already hosted two sold-out events and they have weekly conference calls on Tuesday at 7 p.m. Pacific and
10 p.m. Eastern. The number is 712-338-8105, pin code 994473#.
Whether women are looking for ways to build their business, manage their time, or just find inspiration from other
women who understand what they are going through, they will find the support they need through Max Women in Action.
Max women are involved with the business on many different levels. Sometimes their role is primarily that of a support
to their husbands, while others are working the business by themselves. Occasionally, women may have husbands who
have to be convinced they are doing something worthwhile.
“I always tell women if they don’t have supportive husbands it’s okay, when the checks start rolling in they’ll start supporting
you,” Tammy said. “Most of us aren’t money driven. If you want to reach the hearts it’s all about purpose and family and we
are purpose-driven beings. So, trust me, you want women on your teams. We’re the ones that hold it all together. We’re the
glue.” “This is for everybody—Canada, u.S. the Philippines,” Elaine said. “It’s for the women in Australia and other areas of
the world when we open there. It’s for all of us, so pass the word to other people on your teams.” Of course, women aren’t
the only ones involved. Tammy and Elaine both acknowledged vital support from their husbands and Associates like Jim
Fitzpatrick who has helped by creating e-flyers and generally championing their cause.
“We hope to give women not only encouragement and motivation but to hear their challenges and struggles,” Elaine
said. “Working together, all of us can do this.”
