Photographer Finds Magic
in Network Marketing 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.
