You Can Control the Future
René Turner of Atlanta, GA, believes that you can control the future. In fact, she’s dedicated her life to showing families exactly how it’s possible. “I think one of the best things about Primerica is that we can show any family that if they are not happy with where they are financially, there’s a way to make some decisions right away that will change the course of their situation … and their futures.”
Getting Started
While parenting a young, active daughter, René took on the lead role in their Primerica business when her husband Mel was called to the ministry. Charged to create an income that would replace her engineering salary, René wanted to be able to build a business without missing out on important milestones as her daughter grew. She decided to go for it with the understanding that every step she took from that point forth would determine whether or not her children would have the options she never had – and the ability to actually enjoy all that they worked so hard for.
Reinvention
As her family added another daughter, her resolve became even more sure: she had to create an atmosphere of success for her family. As her business grew, she found that the support she had at Primerica made it possible to do more than she thought she was capable of. The initial fear that she felt, she says, came from a lack of belief. That’s not a problem anymore. She’s reinvented herself as a courageous, successful entrepreneur. She said, “When I realized that Primerica had given me every possible tool I needed to learn, grow and succeed, that’s just what I did.”
Her goals changed, too. What was once just about making some changes for her family became about impacting the lives of others, as well. With her oldest daughter now a licensed Primerica representative, René said that they have created a family business based on a culture – an entrepreneurial culture that shaped the way her daughters look at the world. Together, they have the freedom to be citizens who actively contribute to make the world a better place. “Now, I make the decisions about what I spend my day doing. I make the choices that other entities used to make for me,” Rene noted with a smile. “I was able to change my future because Primerica showed me I had the power to.”
I have been with Primerica for a year now, and I believed in our crusade but never had enough confidence and courage to face the fear of what other will think of me. But after a waste of year, people and stories as these, fire my desire for greatness. I will make this year the year of change, thanks to all of you that lead trough example.
Awsome!!!!
I am so proud of this company for what it is doing and where it is going. I am so excited about what we have and the only thing I see is that most people is not taking advantage of this great opportunity including me. I have wasted so many years in this business and have not seized this opportunity. But I now understand what Art and the rest of the great leaders meant when they said, “when you get sick and tired of being sick and tired,” then you get off of your assets and go to WORK! Thanks to all the great leaders in this company and for their influence and direction.
3 years on the business , what a learning process, has been great. Sick and tire of being sick and tire!!!! thats the right stuff!! THIS COMPANY IS AWESOME AND WE ARE JUST GETTING STARTED!!! THE NEXT 10 YEARS ARE GOING TO BE A SUPER BOMB!!!!.
