have not put in the time.”
Hours worked per week now: Tony
says that depends on what you consider your business. He spends every waking
hour developing himself, and all of this comes to manifestation in his business.
He believes it is more about being, than doing, which is why we are called human
beings and not human doings. He has been focusing the last year on building a
new business with The TriVita Way has International, and on writing his
second book called 'Creating in Awareness", which is his story, told in a
diary form, month by month, of how he reached Crown Diamond, their highest
level. This is a follow up to his first book called "Walking in
Awareness." His first book can be read for free on his website, http://www.tonykent.com.
He has also developed a seminar business and a show/seminar called
"Magical Moments", which uses magic as a metaphor to help others trust
their intuition and find their own greatness. For the next few months of

partners to mentor. He has decided to start building a second wave of
people with his new company.

Photographer Finds Magic
in Network Marketing
BY JAN
WALLEN
Tony Kent started out as a fashion photographer in Paris. He
credits this experience with teaching him about the benefits of personal
responsibility. Today he is using that knowledge to help others achieve personal
growth and independence.
Along the way, he has earned many honors including Double
Diamond in his previous company, their top level at the time, Relay 2000
Trainer, and Chairman of the non-profit Solution Projects Team, a program which
helped feed malnourished people throughout the world. He has currently reached
Crown Diamond with The TriVita Way International, their highest level. He is
also an author, has created audio and video tapes, and has created numerous
tapes and other building tools for helping others become successful in network
marketing. In addition, he has created Magical Moments which is a one man stage
show using magic as a metaphor. The theme is about creating magic in our lives.
After beginning in network marketing, he continued to reinvest
his checks, and began to turn a profit after about six months. He still invests
heavily in lead programs for his downline. He runs ad co-ops and is diversifying
more and more. Tony says, "I absolutely love mixing warm and cold
markets." With his new company and their unique customer acquisition
program, he has a group of over 18,500 and is adding over 1000 people a month,
and the company supplies over 90% of the people.
Even though he has always been in business for himself, Tony
says he likes network marketing because it leaves him free to create his own
destiny.
Some of his publications include Walking in Awareness, a book
about personal growth and transformation through network marketing; and Paths of
Power, a video/audio program containing the material from his all-day seminars.
He is also the author of a workbook on reaching your company's first serious
level including recommended daily activities and necessary generic tools; a
tape, The History and Truths of Network Marketing; as well as a booklet which
summarizes his seminars, Paths of Power.
While his may sound like a magical, storybook story, Tony Kent
is very real indeed. And he is committed to helping others succeed in his chosen
industry.
