Clynton Marks always knew that he wanted more than a “conventional” lifestyle. Even though he thrived as a salesman in many industries and trained hard to become Mr. Johannesburg, the best in a prestigious bodybuilding competition, he was still searching for that elusive something he wanted in life.
He eventually turned to entrepreneurship and started his own business. As a business owner for over 17 years, he learned that your time-to-income ratio is an important component of success. “I never owned my business,” he said. “My business owned me. You see, even if you win the rat race you so desperately hold onto, you are still a rat.”
Clynton caught the vision of the opportunity offered by Syntek Global to live a life without barriers and in September 2013 he decided to live the life he wanted, on his terms. He sold his business and threw himself into his Syntek Global business. He vowed to make an example of his story and dedicated his time, finances, and resources to becoming not only financially free but also truly happy.
He took advantage of one of the powerful components of network marketing: teamwork. He partnered with another Syntek Global distributor, Cheri Ward, and they worked together to support, encourage, and lead their teams in South Africa. “We learned so much from each other, and being teachable is a paramount trait to succeed in this business—and life.” Clynton says that teamwork has not only made the business more lucrative, but also made the journey fun.
As Clynton aligned himself with people that he cares for and helped them become involved in this amazing business, he learned even more. “I found that by empowering those around me and focussing on the amount of people I could take on the journey with me, my success would be imminent,” he said. He is part of an incredible team that works together, dreams together, and grows together.
Clynton wants everyone to work for a life without barriers. “There is no excuse good enough to remain in a comfort zone that jails you into a life of mediocrity. Dare to be great!”
We want to congratulate Clynton Marks on taking control of his life and reaching Blue Diamond!
