“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood” (Theodore Roosevelt)

Ray Allen and his wife, Samantha share their DMO and how they used attraction marketing to build a 6 figure network marketing business.

Ray and Samantha Allen are a military couple when network marketing found them 11 years ago. Despite multiple deployments to the Middle East, they were able to build their businesses in the nooks and crannies of their busy lives.

It took them 6 years to hit 6 figures but their consistency in their DMO paid off and they were able to leave the military with no retirement pay and still live the life they wanted.

Today they enjoy their time in their 53 acre farm in Virginia and home school their 7 kids.

Samantha and Ray Allen were initially skeptical but open to network marketing.

Their journey took six years to reach six figures.

Attending events was crucial for their belief and confidence.

They learned about attraction marketing which transformed their business.

Their timeline for success was set at seven years due to military commitments.

They emphasized the importance of personal development in their daily routine.

Consistency in their daily method of operation (DMO) was key to their success.

They faced challenges but were committed to never quitting.

Their 'why' evolved as their family grew, driving their motivation.

Ray Allen recommend joining groups related to personal interests to build connections.

"We were 100% all in from day one."

"We knew that at some point our business would be big enough."

"We borrowed other people's confidence in the beginning."
