Megan & Ryan Williams: From Skeptic to Six Figures
About Megan & Ryan Williams:
Ryan & Megan Williams are seasoned veterans with 22 years of experience in Network Marketing with just 1 company. Their personal story of success and development has been featured in several nationally distributed business publications. They developed “The System” to aid in the accelerated success of those hungry for something to change in their lives. They are inspired and more motivated today than they have ever been. The future is bright with opportunity and unlimited success for those willing to be consistent and persistent in their pursuit of growth and excellence.
In this episode, Jennie Bellinger together with Megan & Ryan Williams discusses:
- Importance of posture and credibility when presenting opportunities
- Building a network through referrals and strategic partnerships
- Offering value-added services that provide significant cost savings
- Adopting a “fishing” mindset of sharing vs. “hunting” and selling
- Creating win-win solutions by collaborating with other businesses
Key Takeaways:
- Posture and Credibility are Crucial
The way you present opportunities can make or break your success in network marketing, and exuding confidence and credibility when sharing your business is essential for gaining trust and buy-in from potential partners.
- Leverage Your Network Through Referrals
By focusing on creating mutually beneficial relationships, you can tap into a steady stream of qualified prospects.
- Offer Unique, High-Value Services
Identify and effectively promote these value-added offerings as they will set you apart from the competition and drive rapid growth.
- Shift to a “Fishing” Mindset
Rather than aggressively pursuing potential recruits, adopting a more inviting, sharing-based “fishing” strategy can lead to better results, and allowing people to come to you, rather than chasing them, fosters a more positive and productive environment.
- Collaborate for Mutual Benefit
Seeking out strategic partnerships with complementary businesses or professionals can unlock new opportunities for growth.
“Success leaves clues, and when you’re in the right environment, you tend to run across the right kind of people.” — Ryan Williams

Teresa Aker: From Knocking On Doors to Growing Online
About Teresa Aker:
Teresa Aker is a huge proponent of helping others achieve their goals and dreams. Through multi-level marketing with Avon, she had the opportunity to help a team of amazing representatives learn how to sell, become a wonderful group of friends, and grow their businesses to whatever their individual goals were. Teresa achieved the highest award, The President’s Council Award in Sales, and reached the rank of Executive Unit Leader in Leadership, both placing her at the top of the Leader Board.
Prior to that, Teresa was a top seller in real estate during a time when interest rates were so high that people had a very hard time making ends meet, let alone buying a house. She listened to seasoned agents who had been through tough times before and learned how to help her clients buy their homes.
Because Teresa stood for an elected position in politics, she was able to experience the grassroots of her community and the way cities are run—at least the one she lives in. She was thrilled to meet so many amazing people in her community during that time and to learn from their struggles.
In this episode, Jennie Bellinger and Teresa Aker discuss:
- Transitioning to direct sales from diverse backgrounds
- Emotional and professional growth in multilevel marketing
- Key leadership strategies for building and nurturing a team
- The significant ‘whys’ behind team members’ motivations
- The double-edged nature of earning and using incentive rewards
Key Takeaways:
- By embracing the shift from selling real estate and industrial glue to flourishing in the Avon environment, the potential for success in direct sales is seen.
- It is crucial to understand and support the individual goals of team members, which in turn fosters trust and strengthens the team.
- Teresa and Jennie highlight the often-overlooked personal benefits that come with earning incentives.
- Addressing one’s confidence and combating imposter syndrome is portrayed as vital in the journey toward success in network marketing, as seen in the story of Laurie’s growth.
- Beyond current experiences in direct sales, the journey of continuous learning such as adapting to emerging trends like AI and reading self-development books like ‘Think and Grow Rich’ illustrates the necessity of ongoing personal and professional growth to stay ahead in the game.
“I’m so happy to say my life has really been a journey of helping other people. Whether it be building confidence on the inside or the outside, it really has been a journey of helping… I can’t imagine ever leaving it now.” — Teresa Aker
