Brad & Leslie were your typical young couple climbing the corporate ladder when the Quixtar business opportunity entered their lives for the second time. After their first attempt, they had left the business with a very defeated and skeptical mind. At that time they decided to succeed in the corporate world instead.
Brad was in the employment recruiting business, and Leslie worked for a major airline as an airfare analyst. To most people they looked as though they were doing well. But compared to their soon-to-be sponsors, Brad and Julie Duncan, they were time broke and money broke and had a marriage that was being pulled apart by negative association and the lack of a common goal.
Then Brad and Leslie signed the application for the second and final time. Little did they know how much different this time would be. Their first year was still a year of overcoming excuses: What would their friends and family think of them? What if they failed again at the business? Did they really have time to build it with their heavy work schedules? These and many other excuses had to be dealt with, but deep down they knew that the business was the answer to all of their problems.
So they persistently and consistently worked at building their business. The many long nights, the miles driven, and the changes and learning experiences they went through were not easy but were definitely worth it.
Currently, Brad & Leslie are focused on two new visions in life. Their first vision is reaching out to young children worldwide, working in both inner-city programs, hospitals, as well as developing a youth ministry in the Philippines. Their goal is to help children find a dream and refocus their lives on long term goals.
Their second vision is to develop a family environment on their property for their parents and themselves to share and spend the rest of their lives together. Over the last year they have built “Duncan Yards” which includes a baseball diamond, Rope Bridge, rock-climbing wall and a trout pond. This “Field of Dreams” was created to be used by inner city and at-risk kids, along with athletic teams and church youth groups.
So how did a young couple with very little education and very little credibility build this business? “First,” says Brad, “we developed and continued to expand our dreams and desires in life. Many people want more out of life but are not motivated enough to go out and get the job done no matter how long it takes and how tough it is. And second, we studied and plugged in tight to our upline sponsors, Brad and Julie Duncan, and the incredible WorldWide System of leaders who are the key to training and motivation. They are why we are where we are!”
Brad and Leslie look at the building of this business as a responsibility to help others achieve whatever they desire and live the life they ultimately deserve. They are passionate about their visions in their lives, the business is forever in their hearts and they are committed to being an example for others to follow.
