Teacher, Secretary
Ray and Karla Keller were on the fast track. They had well-paying jobs in Florida, a company car and a comfortable home. But Ray wanted an airplane and Karla wanted horses, so an invitation to get into business for themselves alongside their jobs seemed worth accepting. Then the company they worked for went broke, and with it went their car, their income and their home. Ray had been a high school teacher earlier, but had grown up on a farm in Arkansas and he knew farming, so they headed there.
Soon he and Karla realized they needed options, and remembered the Amway business they had begun earlier. They lived miles away from anyone, but that was just a detail to them, because they had made a commitment. They were going to make this business work and devoted their full time to its development.
"We've been able to work from home and be there for our children from their birth," says Ray. They have a beautiful home that is surrounded by woods. They have made a lot of wonderful friends through their business and are living beyond their dreams.
