ADVANCEMENTS - DIAMOND
Stand for what you believe is right and run your own race
Achieving the rank of Diamond is not something an Associate ever does alone,
and Chad and Jill Statham, of Plano, Texas, credit their team for lifting them
up as leaders and trusting them with that responsibility. As an industry that
thrives on the concept of duplication, Chad feels that network marketing is
simple, but the challenge comes with cultivating the self discipline to learn and
apply the basic principles that are freely taught.
“Our business is simply to share and invite,” Chad said. “Share the products
and invite your prospects to join your businesses or become a customer.”
The Stathams singled out Rick and Michelle Teague as the Associates they
have learned the most from. Chad and Jill have observed that no matter what
is going on around them, the Teagues remain constant and consistent to the
principles they teach on building the Max business.
“I’m grateful to all the professionals in our business who truly do care about
the people, the product, and the company we represent,” Chad said. “If you
are consistent, eliminate distractions, and work hard with sincerity and humility, you can achieve what matters most to you.
Whatever you can envision, you can achieve with Max International. This is what we have learned in our two-and-a-half years
with Max: keep it simple, learn the basics, and get good at them. There are no magic sponsoring tricks.”
“If it is to be, it is up to me” is one of many catch phrases that are common in this industry and which have had a significant
impact on Chad and his approach to the business. A catch phrase he first heard in his early twenties, “To be more, one must
simply choose to become more,” really struck a chord with him.
“I took this to mean that there is a way and a path to take to be more, and in network marketing we have a better way,” Chad
said. “Network marketing is the single greatest industry on the planet. We all must protect the ideals and guard the vision
of this business. Protect the ideal that someone struggling to make ends meet may be more, become more, and live their
dreams.”
Another saying the Stathams live by is “People don’t care how much you know, until they know how much you care.” The
Statham’s team knows how much they care. They know Chad and Jill are passionate about what they believe is right.
Chad has a plaque in his office titled “The Essence of Survival.” It reads, “Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It
knows that it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun
the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle, when the sun comes up
you better be running.”
This ties in with a phrase Chad and Jill live by which is “Run your own race.” They admire and appreciate the examples of
Associates like Mike Unclebach and Dickie Poe who wake up every morning ready to run their own race and aren’t afraid to
invite people to look at Max International.
“We encourage you to align yourself with this company and your team,” Chad said. “Be loyal and committed. Stand for what
you believe is right and run your own race.”
