Success Story: Gwen Lopes Says Goodbye Forever to 9 to 5

Gwendolyn Mary Lopes vows never to return to a 9 to 5 job. It’s not about the work, because Gwen is no stranger to working hard. She has a B.S. Degree in Management from the University of Maryland, which she finished at night school, all while working full time for the Dept. of the Navy as a System Administrator at the Naval Hospital in Bethesda.

For Gwen, a “normal” job is simply too restrictive. She didn’t realize it was a barrier in her life until she was inspired by Robert Kiosaki’s “Rich Dad Poor Dad” to become an entrepreneur. She left her GS-12 government job to pursue selling real estate full time. She has been a licensed Realtor for 20 years now.

“I enjoy the freedom of not waking up to an alarm clock, setting my own hours, helping people find their dream home, and of course, cashing big checks!” Gwen said. Then the market turned and those checks became scarcer. That was when she really focused on looking for something else she could do to build residual income, because returning to the 9 to 5 grind wasn’t an option.

She was introduced to Syntek Global through Royal Team Elite Chris Bailey. They had worked in two other multi-level marketing companies together, but Gwen wasn’t happy with the level of success she and her team were achieving. She thought she was done with network marketing, but Chris Bailey convinced her to take a look at Syntek—and she is so thankful and glad she did. It offered her a choice to break through the barriers in her life and was a business opportunity that she couldn’t walk away from.

Gwen joined the Syntek Global family back in August of 2009, when the company was still in pre-launch. She made it a point to attend the first convention, when Syntek first announced that they were officially open for business. Since then, she has had the privilege of meeting and working with the most incredible people. Gwen hasn’t even met some of them in person yet, but she says they are family to her anyway. She thinks it is so great to be able to be around people who really do care about each other, and are willing to work together to help each other achieve their goals and live life on their terms.

Gwen has reached the rank of Blue Diamond and is still going strong. “What an amazing ride Syntek has been, and it’s still just the beginning!” she says.

Along with the opportunity Syntek gives people to break through the barriers in their lives, Gwen was thoroughly impressed with the co-founders and their commitment to Syntek Distributors. “It is obvious that they really care about us and want us to succeed. They are constantly looking at ways to improve the process, to give us bigger paydays, and to work toward keeping up with the growth of the company from the efforts of the distributors.”

Gwen is thrilled to be a part of Syntek Global and to once and for all kiss the threat of a regular job goodbye. “With Syntek, I chose to break through restrictions in my life and take the freedom that I enjoy to a whole new level. I can combine my passion for traveling with my commitment for helping people achieve more, and get paid for it all at the same time. It doesn’t get any better than this!”
