How do some special individuals achieve greatness?

Is it a natural thing, something they’re born with? Or is it the result of effort combined with an almost fanatical consistency? Is greatness something available to the very few, or is it available to everyone – provided they have the discipline, determination, and work ethic to realize it?

If you’re burning to know the answer, we suggest you ask one our Gano Excellers – affiliates who have achieved true greatness in their organizations.

Please join us in applauding the excellence of the following Affiliates. They have demonstrated a unique and distinct dedication to their businesses, and are emerging as true leaders in the coffee and network marketing industries. To our Gano Excellers, we salute you – and to those who hope to see your own name on this list, we wish you the best of luck!

Robert Hollis, Sr.

Prior to getting involved in network marketing, Robert Hollis, Sr. was an auto mechanic.

“I was taught that all you need to do in life is go to school and get good grades. Then the next step is very simple: you go out and work very, very hard,” Robert says.

“And that’s what I tried to do.”

Robert’s life was going well until he received a debilitating injury on the job. A single father living on Workman’s Compensation, Robert’s income fell to $900 per month. With eviction looming, Robert begged God for help. It was then that Robert was introduced to network marketing.

“I met a guy who was just a few years older than me,” Robert remembers. “He was making over $60,000 per month. When I saw that, I asked the guy very simply, ‘What did you do before this?’ And he said he used to install car stereos. I knew I could learn from him.”

Robert then learned about residual income, and came to take full advantage of the network marketing opportunities.

“But even after years in the industry, I was looking for a product that so good that people would stay on the product because of the health benefits it has for them and their family, even if they’re not making money from it,” Robert says. “If people won’t stay on the product without making money, you won’t build residual income. Bottom line, that’s why I got involved in Gano Excel.”

“I see this as the last company I’ll need to participate in. I see myself in this company 20, 30 years from now.”

D.J.

D.J. is a native of Idaho who was raised in Hawaii. He has been involved with Gano Excel and other network marketing companies since 1990. Outside of network marketing, he enjoys planning parties, and devotes his life to his 14-year-old daughter. Congratulations to D.J. on yet another monumental achievement!

Alma Zaragoza

Alma Zaragoza continues her inspiring, meteoric rise. Now a Royal Diamond, she and her husband Cecilio are proving that anybody in the world can make the most of this opportunity…if they work hard and are willing to help others.

“I’ve been helping women achieve their dreams with this company with health and wellbeing as well as financial rewards. My greatest satisfaction is to teach people how to do the business and how to promote the products knowing our products are of the highest quality,” says Alma.

Alma, originally from Mexico, has been married for 19 years to her husband, Cecilio. They have 4 children together.

Alma’s been involved in network marketing for 13 years, and has been in Gano Excel for 4 months. Her friends describe her as a hard worker who is helpful to others, devoted to helping women achieve their dream, and always being respectful towards her fellow humans.

“I am thankful to God for this company,” Alma says. “And I am also thankful to David and Llecenia Robles for thinking about me and to Joven Cabasag for all his support and to Pearl and Rico for all the help and support to the Hispanic group.”

“I thank all the people who believed in me and support me.”

Llecenia Robles

With 10 years experience in network marketing, Llecenia Robles is one of the top female leaders in Gano Excel. Having achieved the ranking of Premier Diamond, which she shares with her husband David Gonzalez, Llecenia is a true example for all women showing them that one can be a mother, a house wife, and a powerful motivating leader in the community. She has always been a top leader in every company she has worked for, producing a duplicated group of wealthy people touching, moving, and inspiring them to be a cause for the well being of others. Originally from Dallas, TX and raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, Llecenia is a fine example of a person with dual citizenship for she truly loves the latino community, and she is very thankful to her entire group both here in the US and in Mexico for all their hard work and dedication. Her hope is that everyone feels the power of our product here, and the generousity of its compensation plan. So please JOIN US!

Fred Herzog

Fred has been in network marketing for 20 years. In that time, he has been involved in 17 different companies and has achieved the top ranks in three of them. He’s earned over $5 million in this industry, and helped 17 members on his past team earn over $1 million.

Lizeth Sabellon

Lizeth Sabellon is a single mother to 3 children. She is originally from Honduras, but has lived in the United States for 20 years.

“Before this company, it was hard to make a living in this country,” Lizeth says. “I had been involved in networking marketing before, and didn’t think I would do it again. But then I heard two magic words – enriched coffee and binary plan.”

Lizeth’s interest was piqued further when she found out Gano Excel has been in business for 15 years, and produces nearly $80 million in volume every 9 months.

“But the reason I’m here is because I have a conviction in my heart that everyone should use this product.”

“I used to get paid by the hour,” Lizeth says. “I had a good job – benefits, medical coverage and days off. And the security. But I left my full-time job when I found this company.”

“This is more than a multi-level company,” she adds. “It is a movement for Hispanic people, for our people.”

Alberto Martinez

Alberto has been in network marketing for 15 years. Though his first attempts were less-than-stellar, he has made millions of dollars in his last two companies.

He was doing so well in his other companies that when Fred Herzog approached him about Gano Excel, he was reluctant to move.

“I was very skeptical about Gano Excel; but I accepted his invitation to visit the company in Irwindale,” says Alberto. “After talking with Mr. Cabasag I realized I had found a gold mine and without thinking twice I jumped on board.”

Only five weeks into the business, Alberto’s group ballooned. After seeing the momentum for himself, he now believes this is the greatest opportunity available in the industry.

“We don't have to convince people to drink our product, they are already doing it,” Alberto finishes. “We just need to show them the benefits of Ganoderma. I can see all of us having happy and satisfied customers by the thousands all over the American Continent. This is the perfect timing to start a successful business with Gano Excel.”

Ana Aguilar

Ana Aguilar joined Gano Excel in December 2009.

“I was recuperrating from a surgery and was feeling down because I was not able to be at my business. I was also looking for a new endeavor,” Ana says. “. My boutique was starting to ware me out. I started slow at first and as I became "a product of the product" I became to notice positive changes in my health. Those around me where impress at my fast healing. Since I'm a very  social person I began to share the business opportunity with those around me and strangers too. My life has changed with Gano Excel!”

Ana says Gano has helped her spend more time with her husband, 4 children and 5 grandchildren.

“ I'm writing this short bio from Farmington, Conneticut,” Ana reveals. “My grandson Branden started Pre-school and I could not miss his first day of school. This trip was made possible thanks to Gano Excel.“

“I am proud to say that this company is bringing the best in me,” she continues. “I hope that those that read this story can relate to me. Remember that if you dream it, it will become true. Stay positive, professional and help those under you, and you will achieve a great start in Gano Excel. It worked for me and it can work for you.  I am now living the ‘American Dream!’”

Bertha Rodriguez

Bertha Rodriguez, originally from Mexico, has lived in the United States since 1990. She is the proud mother of 4 children. She has 12 years of experience in network marketing. She was impressed with the product and compensation plan at Gano Excel, and in a short time was working her way up the compensation ladder!

“Thanks to God and to my children; with their support, I am reaching my goals!” Bertha says.

Laura Cueva

“I have always been very energetic and a very positive person,” Laura says.

She has participated in other network marketing companies before, but didn’t feel at home until joining Gano Excel.

“[They were] conceptually similar to Gano Excel…but I had never experienced what Gano Excel has given me. G.E., as I lovingly refer to Gano, has taken my health, motivation and desire to a new level, a level I never dreamed I would reach!” she explains.

“I’m very proud of myself for reaching this very important milestone, yet I know the sky is the limit and have no doubt a new milestone is around the corner!”

Angela Lomas

Angela Lomas is originally from Ecuador, where she earned her degree in Accounting and Business Administration. She has operated a successful tax preparation firm for the past 22 years, and continues to build her own company even as she advances to the highest ranks here at Gano Excel. But 15 years ago, Angela decided to supplement her income by working in direct sales.

“I have achieved some interesting levels in network marketing. In my last company, I achieved the highest rank…with a group of more than 10,000 distributors.”

But she never felt truly at home until coming to Gano Excel.

“For me, Gano Excel was love at first sight,” Angela says. “It doesn’t take a genius to recognize a real great opportunity, but it does require being intelligent enough to be able to capitalize on a great opportunity that is a tool to better human lives. That is my purpose. Thank you Freddie for inviting me to Gano Excel, and a thousand thanks to my leaders and partners in general for your support. Together we can achieve our dreams.”

Armand Puyolt

Armand was introduced to network marketing by a friend – but he wasn’t entirely convinced at first.

“One day he asked for my business opinion on this new company that was going to launch,” Armand says. “In my mind, I was there to disprove…network marketing to my friend, and save him from a huge mistake he was about to enter into.”

But once he arrived, he found an industry that would allow him to spend more time with his children and achieve success on his own terms.

“A fire under my feet lit up that has not stopped. From that moment I knew that network marketing was the perfect business for me,” Armand says.

He soon reached the top ranks of that company, and plans to do the same here at Gano Excel.

“Now, thanks to my great friends Fred Herzog and Robert Hollis and the great vision of CEO Joven Cabasag, I am now here at Gano Excel.”
