Billy and Margaret Chalmers know what it’s like to overcome barriers—and that sometimes persistence is the key.
Billy was introduced to the Syntek Global opportunity by a former co-worker he hadn’t talked to in 16 years. At the time he was working on projects for different types of energy for work. One of his projects was fuel efficiency. He tried out the product on a road trip and saw a huge jump in fuel economy. That’s when he knew he had a powerful product coupled with a powerful opportunity.
Billy joined Syntek Global in August, 2010. A few months after signing up, his company underwent a management change, complete with benefit and job cuts, hiring of temps, and other stressful work conditions. It became so stressful that Billy fell ill. He ended up in the hospital with a blood infection and then six weeks of recovery at home. He was working from home, but was being pressured to return to the office. It got to the point that he was continually stressed with the work environment. Work had become a barrier keeping him and his family from the life they wanted.
Billy and Margaret talked, and decided that enough was enough. They decided to go all in with Syntek so that they could have control of their lives. Billy picked up work part time and Margaret went to work full time to take care of the bills while Billy built his Syntek Global business.
Billy talked to anyone he could think of, with few results. It was frustrating, but he didn’t give up. He tried different methods to build his business, but still didn’t have the results he wanted. Others encouraged Billy to get out of the business, but he and his wife had set the goal of a life without barriers and he refused to give up.
He researched and learned new skills, and finally connected with a car shop owner named Phillip Reynolds (current Blue Diamond). After that, Billy finally found the methods that worked for him and is having the success he worked so hard for. Billy and Margaret are proving that persistence and willingness to learn new skills and try new methods can lead to success. If you want a life without barriers, you can get it, despite obstacles along the way.
Congratulations, Billy and Margaret, for reaching the rank of Blue Diamond!
