Anna-Maija and Hannu have been entrepreneurs all their lives. As Finland’s newest Team Elites, they’ve proven that they can balance a busy home life and a profitable business. Anna-Maija has nearly three decades of experience in network marketing while Hannu joined later in the game when he realized how effective Synergy products really were. Together, they make a fantastic team that is respected and admired throughout Finland and Europe.

Anna-Maija and Hannu are thrilled to reach the Team Elite title, but say this achievement is just a stepping stone on their path to bigger dreams. In addition to their new pin title, Anna-Maija and Hannu earned the Go Elite 10 bonus for the first time in April, an achievement only a handful of Europeans have accomplished. Thanks to supportive and competitive friends within Synergy, and a special team building promotion in Scandinavia, the Kreivi’s were motivated to work especially hard in April, which resulted in their new title.

“It is through small streams of motivation that we generate great power,” Anna-Maija said.

The couple is proud of the professionalism that exists within their team and of the individual Team Members for their daily efforts to move the business forward. This professionalism didn’t just come about on its own, though. Anna-Maija and Hannu host numerous training meetings and information sessions every month to help their team with personal development. They believe that Team Members who are not continually engaged in self-development will have a more difficult time finding success with Synergy.

“A leader must always be ready to help,” Anna-Maija said. “A good leader must rely on Team Members and their ability to learn and grow. A good leader helps Team Members on an individual level to identify their development needs. It is important to make sure everyone finds success, because it is through success that we find motivation.”

Looking forward to their team’s future growth, Anna-Maija and Hannu plan to continue inspiring people to invest their time in Synergy’s vision and to develop strong, independent Synergy leaders. This, they believe, is what will bring financial independence and health to many.

“Because of Synergy, I have my health back,” Anna-Maija said. “I feel that my whole life has changed for the better, because the dreams we had in the past are happening. Synergy is a gift for which I am truly grateful. Health and prosperity can be found through Synergy for anyone who wants to receive it.”

Look out for this new powerhouse business woman. Just a few months after becoming a Synergy Team Member, Teri Rigby of the United Kingdom is one step away from reaching the executive ranks. With nearly 30 years of experience in network marketing, Teri came to Synergy with high goals and a team that has dreams to take Synergy UK and Synergy Europe to new levels of success. Since enrolling, Teri has recruited a number of talented, successful people to her team. What she has accomplished in such a short time is truly remarkable.

“These past few months have been chaos, but good chaos,” Teri said. “We are all making sure that we are doing things right from the beginning. My team is really excited even though everyone isn’t quite sure what they’re doing yet. What they do know is they’re doing something good. We’ve all caught the Synergy bug. There is such energy with Synergy.”

Teri said that upon joining Synergy WorldWide, a number of her business partners were engaged in the business part-time. Their excitement for Synergy and the future of Synergy has caused these individuals to become re-engaged in the business.

In the 70s, when Teri was 22 years old, she decided to become a network marketing distributor. Within the company she joined, she achieved their top level of success. Her husband’s job took her to Germany where they raised three children. Later, Teri moved back to the United Kingdom to join a network marketing company with her mother. After spending 20 years with this network marketing company, Teri became a top leader, but when opportunities in the UK dwindled for this company, she turned to a company with expanding opportunities: Synergy WorldWide.

“We’re going to bring a big Synergy wave to the UK,” Teri said. “To get this going my team is getting up earlier and going to bed later.”

In addition to becoming a Team Elite in April, Teri also earned the Go Elite 10 bonus, and said the Elite Honors earnings model has been hugely helpful to her team as they find their footing in the business. They latched onto the model immediately, and with Teri’s support, became Elite Honors qualified. Teri lives the concept of leading by example and knows that she cannot promote anything unless she is willing to do it herself.

 “My next goal it to make Pearl Executive before September, but my real, real goal is to get all of the people I work with to a level in the business where they are really achieving,” Teri said. “I feel responsible for making sure they do well and do well fairly quickly.”

Working with Synergy has been a breath of fresh air for Teri. The executives and leaders have been incredibly enthusiastic and supportive, and Synergy evokes a contagious youthful vibrancy that is spreading throughout her team. She feels the difference with Synergy is thrilled to think about what the future will bring.

The Elite Honors program is streamlining the way organizations do business with Synergy WordWide while maximizing each Team Member’s earning potential. Team Members following the program are seeing the extra rewards that are made possible through the Go Elite promotion as they continue doing what they’ve been doing all along—building their Synergy businesses.

Listed below are the names of everyone in Europe who rank advanced in April! Congratulations to our hardworking Team Members who continue to dedicate tremendous time and effort to their Synergy business.

Joining Mark Comer and Yun Tae Hwang in Synergy’s Triple Presidential ranks is Han Tae Hwang of Korea, Yun Tae’s business partner and brother. He is the third Synergy Team Member to earn this prestigious title. Synergy staffs and Team Members all the world applaud Han Tae for this spectacular and monumental achievement.

Though Han Tae has achieved incredible success with Synergy, his journey to success had a rocky beginning. Even though his older brother Yun Tae was experiencing incredible financial success with Synergy, Han Tae politely turned down Yun Tae's recommendation to join Synergy every day for three months. After all, he was preparing to study abroad and wasn't interested in a business opportunity. It wasn’t until Han Tae saw how Synergy's products were helping his brother and father that he quickly changed his answer to an enthusiastic "yes" and he became a Synergy Team Member.

In a short few years, Han Tae saw a drastic change in his life. Previously a financially-strapped student, Han Tae now enjoys the lifestyle he always wanted 20 years earlier than he expected. Han Tae is especially happy about the doors his newfound financial status has opened for his family.

"Since I joined Synergy, I have realized the pleasure of living by the phrase, 'To give is better than to receive,'" he said.

Now, not only does Han Tae have enough money to take care of his family, he also has plenty of time to spend with them in addition to his good health.

"It's a remarkable change," Han Tae said. "The most precious gifts ever given to me are my family first and Synergy next."

Han Tae offers good advice to those getting started as Synergy Team Members: have a definite goal, be reliable, maintain a good attitude, keep putting in the effort, and always care about people.
