RECOGNITION-SEPTEMBER<br />
Make each day better than the last<br />
Double Crown Diamond<br />
Associate<br />
For Ken Dunn, personal development is an ongoing process. Not even achieving double<br />
Crown diamond constitutes having “arrived” because each day is about being and doing<br />
better.<br />
“Becoming <strong>Max</strong>’s first double Crown diamond is a very humbling experience,” Ken said.<br />
“Julie and I think every day about the tens of thousands of people that are using the <strong>Max</strong><br />
opportunity to reach for more. This honor belongs to every one of them. Becoming Double<br />
Crown Diamond is about the team, every single associate on our team. There is no way on<br />
earth that we are responsible for this recognition. It is all about the team.”<br />
Ken’s family comes first and he starts each day by taking his kids to school. Although his <strong>Max</strong> business keeps<br />
him busy throughout the day, it also give him the flexibility of setting his own hours so he can attend his children’s<br />
activities, even when they happen in the middle of the day.<br />
Then, after his daily workout, Ken reads for half an hour each morning, from 9:30 to 10:00 a.m. Books like the Bible,<br />
Steve Scott’s The Richest Man in the World, and Joel Osteen’s Becoming a Better You are examples of books he<br />
reads and re-reads for personal growth and inspiration. He follows that with a <strong>Max</strong> training call every morning at 10.<br />
The remainder of his day consists of putting his knowledge into action. Ken talks to a minimum of five people<br />
about the business every day. Ken said that introducing people to the company is how we get paid, so talking to<br />
people is something you never stop doing. Attending meetings, mentoring and supporting his team are also ongoing<br />
activities.<br />
“It’s not about Ken dunn or any other single Associate,” Ken said. “When people advance, it’s a reflection of how well<br />
the company is doing as a whole. When a person signs up as an Associate, that person represents the company. How<br />
he or she is perceived is how the company is perceived.”<br />
Ken said he is proud of the management team and their emphasis on the <strong>Max</strong> Code.<br />
He feels the code encompasses the core values we should each embrace as Associates.<br />
Ken is also a strong advocate of events like Elevate 2009.<br />
