Who is Duke Tubtim? First, he is an incredible leader in an emerging group of entrepreneurs in this country. In the next 10 to 20 years, a new corporate business model will dominate the world (if Duke’s business growth rate is any indication). In reality, it is a very old business model, but one that, today, is very marked and is very misunderstood.
Why did Duke get involved in a scam, according to some? A cult? What was he thinking? Here’s a little background: He had experienced struggles early in his life when his father had a stroke and his mother had to become the main breadwinner in the household. He worked traditional jobs to help out, including pizza delivery, but got frustrated and started looking for an alternative. He wanted something that would provide for his family even in difficult conditions like the ones he had faced. This led him to start a network marketing business.
As with many, his initial experience in network marketing came to an unfortunate end when the company went out of business. He almost gave up on MLM at that time, but his friends and family encouraged him to persist in finding a company that could meet the needs of his family.
Duke began researching MLM companies. What he eventually found was a company that impressed him with its long-term vision of affecting global health. This company was USANA Health Sciences. After starting, he began to see improvements in his father’s condition from USANA products and this strengthened his belief that the company was “for real.”
USANA has become the vehicle of his passion to support his family’s needs. And speaking of vehicles, Duke is also passionate about cars, just like his teammates. He replaced a broken down Toyota with a 2006 Bentley Continental GT and now owns a sizable collection of cars, including a 2003 titanium Lamborghini and various race cars.
Since joining USANA in 2004, Duke has developed a great team of Gen Yers (ages 18-25) with goals similar to his own. His group is possibly larger than Generation Y groups in any other MLM company. Given that USANA’s products target baby boomers, this has been quite surprising.
Duke is an inspiring leader. He discovered that with network marketing, by expanding his skill, he could also increase his paycheck. He has educated his team in well-established personal development concepts that have determined his own achievement. Now, his Gen Y associates run many company training sessions filled with baby boomers. His group always has the highest spirit and practices a “dress for success” approach unique to the company.
At the recent 2009 International Convention, his team packed nearly half of the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City. So who is Duke Tubtim? Answer: One of the most amazing network marketing sensations to emerge that is poised to revolutionize everything related to entrepreneurship in this country.
Prior to the 2009 Convention, Duke rose to 4-star Diamond Director (typically six-figure earnings), with his new wife, Sheila. Sheila reportedly had a significant “work” mentality, so this “networking thing” has been quite different for her. The recent 4-star achievement is right where things are starting for this couple, as his passion turns to helping his team members move forward and build even bigger dreams. Network marketing and direct sales have huge potential for many young entrepreneurs if Duke and Sheila have anything to do with it.
