Powerful Company

Lynn Almond
As owner of Bay Area Equestrian Center in Pearland, Texas, Lynn trains and shows horses on the Arabian show circuit. With 70 horses at the facility, over a hundred people who take riding lessons every week, and travel time to horse shows every month, Lynn is crazy busy. And with two young sons at home to care for on top of everything else, Lynn needed a way to get control of her time. Ignite allowed her to create a second income and have options in her life. "The biggest thing Ignite has done for me is to allow me to start dreaming again, to really know that anything is possible." Her long-term goals are to help thousands of people create significant residual income and to enjoy slowing down and spending more time with her family. "It is truly fun and rewarding to help other people change their lives while you are changing yours!"

Bob Aulds
Bob, a franchisee for a major home cleaning company, was immediately intrigued when he saw the Ignite Opportunity. "When I saw the business, I knew it would make a lot of money for those who joined, and I did not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity." After jumping into Ignite with both feet, he grew his business quickly and was soon able to sell one of his two franchise centers, so as to focus more time on his Ignite business and his family – wife Mary, twins Jordan and Alexandra and son Joseph.

Robert Bell
Robert Bell has worked in the Houston Police department for the last 27 years, about half of those years in the Office of Inspector General. Yet his most life-altering inspection took place off-duty when he examined Ignite. “I was immediately struck by the opportunity to build a residual income for me and my family with a service everyone already uses,” Robert says. Since that epiphany, he has not only built a better financial future by turning energy into income, but has also used his own personal energy to help others do the same. “I love enabling people to buy their lives back!” Robert says. “My family and friends have all learned to dream again. Speaking of friends, thanks to Ignite, my list of them has grown substantially. Every day the future looks brighter than ever.”

Ray & Rebecca Bickerstaff
Residents of Valley Mills, Texas, the Bickerstaffs are small-town folks realizing big-time dreams, thanks to Ignite. Both Bickerstaffs have backgrounds well suited for the relationship intensive needs of running an Ignite business. Ray, a former athletic trainer, is a teacher for the Waco Independent School District, working for an alternative school, while Rebecca is a Registered Dietitian and Licensed Nutritionist with a Masters of Public Health. Thanks to some hard work, vision and putting their downline first, the Bickerstaffs have been able to help Rebecca retire from her job so she can focus solely on growing their Ignite team.

Becky Bigbie
After spending 14 years in marketing and business development for two fortune 500 companies, Becky Bigbie looked for options to spend more time with her family. Ignite was an answer to that prayer. Becky is an enthusiastic cheerleader of her 18 year old daughter and 15 and 12 year old sons, all of whom are involved in competitive sports that require lots of coordinating. “The flexibility of my Ignite business allows me to focus on my family while still making a professional income,” Becky said. She attributes her success to her results-oriented attitude, passion for success in business, and attention to building relationships, which have all been major factors in her ability to help bring out the best in people.

Randall & Michelle Blackmon
The Blackmons joined Ignite for a reason many IAs can identify with: "We figured if deregulation was going to happen with or without us, it may as well happen with us. We saw an opportunity that made sense." Joining Ignite in September 2005, Randall and Michelle have worked as a team towards their shared goal of financial freedom for their family and the families of their downline. "Ignite continues to bless our family. We now dream when we're awake, not just when we're sleeping."

Darrell & Karen Kaye Boeske
Joining Ignite in August of 2005 for a part-time venture, Karen Kaye Boeske quickly realized that her full-time mortgage business was not meeting her financial, professional or personal goals to the degree that her Ignite business did. Along with her husband Darrell, she saw that with Ignite, "we could teach other people how to first help themselves, then teach others how to duplicate their efforts. We think that Ignite is the greatest financial opportunity to ever come along for our family."

Wendell & Amy Campbell
Though the Campbells had a very demanding job, four children, church activities, and a minor surgery that took Wendell out of the game for longer than anticipated, they still achieved the position of Executive Director. They also have the distinction of being our first EDs in the Houston area. Not only have Wendell and Amy had success with Ignite, but Wendell's mom and dad, and sister and brother-in-law are Ignite Associates. Talk about a family business!

Domenic Carlucci
A commercial airline pilot by trade, Domenic has enjoyed a career in aviation for almost four decades, with his experience including six years in the US Navy. He joined Ignite because he saw a wonderful opportunity that could truly make a difference in the lives of its Associates and customers. Plus, the thought of earning residual income while helping people reduce their monthly utility bills was exciting to Domenic. His long-term goal with Ignite is to share its rewards with as many friends, family, and acquaintances as possible.

Bryan & Julie Childers
Bryan, a former business owner of a construction grading Company, and Julie, a Registered Nurse, were living paycheck to paycheck when they were introduced to Ignite. A family friend recommended they take a look at the marketing plan, and after weighing the information, they realized it made perfect sense to them. Now, the Childers proudly share that they earned more money in their first 60 days in Ignite than they did in the previous year. As Bryan states, “It feels good to be more than 30 days ahead on our bills.”

Joel Claybrook
A Certified Public Accountant who has practiced in the North Texas area for over 30 years, Joel Claybrook also worked for TXU for nine years early in his career. Although he had no network marketing experience, Joel joined Ignite because he realized the value of residual income and how important having recurring monthly income is as he approaches retirement. As a CPA, he has seen an untold number of business opportunities, and after having evaluated the Ignite business model, he did not believe that he would ever see another opportunity with the potential for residual income that could change his financial future the way Ignite can. For Joel, Ignite truly is a life-changing opportunity.

Brian & Megan Coleman
Owners of Brian Keith Custom Homes, Brian and Megan Coleman were living the good life until 2003, when the bottom fell out of their custom home business. Falling from annual sales of $1.4 million dollars to just $30,000 was a devastating time in their lives. That same year, Megan had to go back to work where she witnessed all of their commercial equipment being repossessed by the bank, across from her new job. The Colemans tried their first network marketing opportunity in 2004, where they gained understanding on how networking could change their family’s life. After joining Ignite in 2005, they are realizing the financial freedom in their lives and are thankful to share it with others.

Melvin R. Farrell Jr.
With 37 years experience as a pilot under his belt, plus 20 years as an airframe and power plant mechanic, you could say that Melvin Farrell knows all about flying high. "I could legally fly before I could legally drive," Melvin quips. A long-time fan of network marketing, Melvin never jumped in because, in his words, "I did not want to sell a product month after month after month." That all changed when he was introduced to Ignite. "I knew I had to be a part of it. I knew it was going to be big. It just made sense." Thanks to Ignite, Melvin is flying higher than ever before. "My grandchildren's college tuition is going to be covered, because of what I have been able to do with Ignite. Plus, I have always wanted my own plane, and since joining Ignite I have bought two."

Ernest Franklin
A retired System Engineer as well as the President of Franklin Bridge Community Mortgage, Mr. Franklin joined Ignite because he saw it "as an opportunity to have fun while building a huge residual income." The appeal for Mr. Franklin was heightened by the fact that Ignite / Stream Energy helps people achieve savings on a commodity, which is built into their household budget. His long-term goal with Ignite is to be in a position to leave a perpetual income stream for his children's children.

Reginald & Maricella Franklin
Prior to joining Ignite, Reginald worked in the automobile industry for over 13 years. When Ignite came into their lives, they were struggling financially and knew they had to establish a second income stream. "When it seemed we had nowhere to turn, Ignite threw us a lifeline of hope," said Reginald. "We decided to take full advantage of what Ignite had to offer." Due to their effort and belief, the Franklins have seen immeasurable results in their Ignite business: "We are now stay-at-home parents, and we have grown closer to our children, which is a dream come true."

Willa Gipson
Willa, an athletic director in the Ft. Worth school district, has always been active in sports. With her gung ho spirit, Willa saw Ignite as another avenue for fun while competing at a high level. It certainly paid off as now she can always attend her teenagers’ sporting events or take them out to a pro ball game any time they please. “With my Ignite business, I can reach any goal I desire,” she says.

Winston Gipson
Winston, an educator, wanted to create more freedom in his life. Growing his Ignite business enabled that wish in ways he could have hardly imagined. Today, Winston can spend his time as he pleases, travel with his kids at will and has the freedom to dream again, knowing that this time around he can readily achieve them. “It’s hard to understand the true value of freedom until you have it,” he says.

Elridge & Dawn Guillory
With Elridge pulling double duty as a Houston Fire Fighter and the owner/broker of Quest Real Estate, and Dawn working as a middle school assistant principal, the Guillorys fully understand the value of time freedom. Not ones to waste time, the Guillorys quickly saw the value of Ignite within a few short minutes of viewing the business plan. As Dawn states, “Energy made sense! And with our two boys providing our ‘why’, along with the impact of how volatile the economy is right now, we knew we had to get started right away.” Adds Elridge, “The Ignite Opportunity has given a glimpse of financial and time freedom. Our long-term goal is to not only to build a huge residual income but also to build long-lasting friendships with our new partners!”

Ted & Terry Hasson
A finance and investment advisor from Houston, Ted Hasson is accustomed to taking a good, hard look at business opportunities to determine their viability. And with Ignite, Ted liked what he saw. He joined Ignite in April 2006 at the request of fellow IA Jack Tompkins, "the most credible, honorable and successful client I ever had." Even though Ted has reached the position of Executive Director, his goal remains the same: "To pave the way and means to financial freedom for my wife and me and our family."

Terri Hatch
Before joining Ignite, Terri had been a Sales and Marketing Representative with a national company for twenty years. She joined Ignite to enhance the financing of her family's healthcare, college funding, and retirement. Terri claims she was excited to see in Ignite the opportunity to develop true, long-term residual income. She says, "Ignite has been a financial blessing to my family and has given me great confidence in our future. The relationships I have established through Ignite have become an extended family to me, one that I truly cherish."

Kay and Jay Hickman
After Kay and Jay Hickman retired from the U.S. Coast Guard, Kay chose to stay home with the family. That move only lead to her next career, however, as she renewed her childhood love of horses and her own stable business. For his part, Jay began a consulting business that kept him travelling about six months a year. Learning about Ignite through their veterinarian, Kay initially saw the business as a way to earn some "fun" money. Before long, however, the Hickmans both saw the potential in their Ignite business to keep Jay home more. After about two years, it did just that as his travel schedule shrank significantly. "Ignite has allowed us to work as a couple, like we did in the Coast Guard," Kay says. "We're having a blast. Reminiscent of our former professions, today we're helping people in stormy financial times find a safe harbor. For us, Ignite is a beacon to those in economic distress."

Charlie & Beth Jones
Though they live in a non-deregulated part of Texas, Beth and Charlie have not let that stop them from finding success in Ignite. When they started with Ignite, Charlie had recently been laid off from his job as a software engineer and Beth was working with young mothers and their children. They also had a sizeable medical debt to contend with. Charlie and Beth have a strong ‘why’ in their two sons. “Our initial goal was to give me a chance to be home with the boys and still work with people.” says Beth. “Now we are focused on our long-term financial security.” Thanks to Ignite, Beth is now able to be a stay-at-home mom, and they have completely paid off the medical debt that had hung over their heads. “It has truly been a blessing to be able to work with so many people. We have been able to help not only our family but the many new friends we have made through Ignite. We are teaching our team they can go to work and make a living or we work Ignite together and all make a life.”

Quincy Jones
Quincy joined Ignite because he understood residual income would allow him to become financially independent and spend more time with his loved ones. He immediately saw the simplicity and knew that this business would explode because of duplication. His long-term goals are to retire his mother from corporate America so that she and his grandmother and his kids can enjoy every day together on the beaches around the world. Quincy states, "Saying that Ignite has changed my life is such an understatement because I simply have no idea what I would do without it. It has given me peace of mind to know that money is no longer a primary thought in our household and that we can make decisions based on the merit of that decision and not on our pocketbook. Ignite has bought our time back and that is so priceless!"

Quin & Pam Lloyd
An Account Manager with Whirlpool Corporation, Quin Lloyd joined Ignite for two main reasons - to be able to pay for his kids' college education and to help his wife Pam retire from working. Now that his business has reached a level of success capable of making these dreams a reality, Quin has developed new goals. "I want to have a retreat center that can be used for Couples, Men's and Women's groups, to make a difference in their lives," says Quin. "I don't want to finance it, but rather pay for it outright. Ignite has allowed me to dream with a possibility of that dream coming true."

Diana Lomas
Ignite's first Executive Director from South Texas, Diana Lomas is passionate about network marketing, specifically residual income and financial independence. She first tried her hand in network marketing with another company back in 1991, but despite her best efforts, it didn't pan out. That all changed when she was introduced to Ignite. According to Diana, "For the first time, there was no doubt in my mind or my heart that I could meet my financial goals and help others do the same. With Ignite I have been able to do in less than three years what I was unable to do in 14 years of network marketing - earn a full-time income on a part-time basis."

Brian & Beth Lucia
Brian and Beth began Ignite hoping to replace Beth’s income and enable her to be a stay-at-home mom. After 16 years as a teacher, Beth was able to leave behind her previous career after just 10 months in Ignite. Ignite has also allowed Brian to cast aside a travel-intensive career that kept him away from home. Brian and Beth are passionate about helping others achieve the same irreplaceable time freedom. Says Brian, "The truly hidden gem in this business is more than Financial Freedom and Time Freedom; it’s the incredible people who come into your life. Ignite has made us rich with new friendships."

Miles & Desiree McKellar
With a combined background in the mortgage, real estate and technology industries, as well as career capacities heavily focused on marketing, accounting and finance, it would seem the McKellars were tailor-made to be Ignite Associates. However, even though Desiree immediately saw the potential with Ignite, Miles was a little more reluctant – until a fortuitous discussion with Presley Swagerty convinced him that Ignite was the real deal. 18 months later, the McKellars found themselves at the top of the Ignite career ladder. Now, they have the time to pursue their priorities, rather than be at the mercy of their financial circumstances. "With Ignite, we get to choose how we spend our day, rather than having it chosen for us. It is simply incredible!"

Dave & Kathy McKinney
Prior to joining Ignite, Dave had been retired from successful careers in the real estate management and publishing businesses. As a Certified Property Manager, he was responsible for the management of a large portfolio of apartment communities across the sunbelt. Kathy was a travel agent serving the specialty market of church-group ski travel. She worked with youth pastors from churches throughout the South in the planning of their annual ski trips. It was her agency's owner who first introduced them to the Ignite Opportunity in late March of 2005. Dave says, "The opportunity to build a true residual income by simply helping some people to save money on their electric bills while helping others to build their own businesses was the most compelling reason we joined Ignite. Now, as we continue to build our business, it is our goal to endow and perpetually fund a charitable foundation for the benefit of several causes that we feel led to support."

Louis & Michelle Miori
Louis, a pastor at a church in northwest Houston, and Michelle, a sales executive with a large printing firm, knew from day one that their busy lives would mean they would work Ignite on a part-time basis. But they haven’t let that stop them, approaching their business with full-time passion. Their goal with Ignite was to generate extra money to help fund the college education of their three children. Along the way, Louis and Michelle have made lifelong friends and learned that a steady commitment to Ignite is the key to life-changing residual income.

Byron & Lisa Montgomery
When Byron and Lisa were introduced to Ignite, they first saw it as an opportunity to earn a little income in a short period of time. Little did they know that their Ignite income would soon exceed the income from their current businesses. Because of the financial growth they have experienced with the Ignite opportunity, they now have more time to spend with their family and volunteer with their church.

Their key to success? They feel that it is impossible to succeed in this business without helping others succeed. "A life lived to help others is the only one that matters," says Byron.

Jennifer & Sean Moran
Jennifer wasn’t looking for a business opportunity when she happened upon Ignite in 2005, she was just longing for relief. "I was certainly overworked and tired back then," Jennifer says. "Still, I was skeptical of business opportunities and felt set with my six-figure job." She finally decided to work Ignite part time and contribute the profits to her church. Yet Jennifer’s Ignite business soon became something more. "I saw Ignite as a way to spend more time with my kids," she says. Thus, Jennifer and her husband Sean made Ignite work for them and have since left their jobs behind. Today, the Morans enjoy family time in their self-described dream home. And for her part, Jennifer works to help others find the career relief she’s experienced. "What started out as a project to help my church has transformed itself into my personal mission," she says. "People believe they can’t have both money and time for their family, but I tell them they can with Ignite."

Perry Morren
A former Executive Director for a non-profit organization, Perry joined Ignite because a man he trusted and respected showed him the Ignite marketing plan. From that meeting, Perry walked away confident that he could create an additional source of income. Perry is thankful to Ignite for giving him an immeasurable amount of time freedom to spend with his family. His sights are set on continuing to grow his business so that it will be his sole source of retirement income.

Ryan Morris
Prior to Ignite, Ryan worked for an Austin-based bank, but he was dissatisfied with the lack of recognition. “I hit every goal and every loan they ever set for me, but I was frustrated because the raise never followed.” From there, he went on to become a real estate agent when Ignite fell in his lap. “I said ‘No’ to Ignite for several months. Then my mom (ED Martha Troy) joined and said in her mother's voice, ‘You need to do this.’ I liked the idea of unlimited income potential. So I decided to go for it. I am now fortunate enough to work Ignite full-time. It allows me the freedom to work with who I want, when I want.”

Kirk & Lynn Newsom
After graduating from Baylor University, Kirk returned to Dallas and has enjoyed a private civil law practice for over thirty years. While still currently practicing law full time, Kirk responded openly to an invitation to consider the Ignite Opportunity and has since built the business on a part-time basis. To Kirk, Ignite presented both a chance to be in business with his son, Christopher, and an opportunity to build substantial residual income. Kirk seeks to build a financial legacy for his family on the shirt-tails of Ignite leadership, who he believes have already positioned Ignite and Stream Energy as one of the most successful entrepreneurial enterprises in the history of American business.

Christina Patterson
After many years of successful conventional business ownership, including real estate, a dental office, and dental labs, Christina was introduced to the Ignite Opportunity by a close friend. Reluctant at first to hear about network marketing, she was still intrigued about the idea of helping yourself and others by tapping into the electricity market. "After just one look at the Ignite compensation plan and the passive residual income that was available," says Christina, "I knew financial freedom was truly obtainable in a very short time." She attributes her success in Ignite to focusing tenaciously on her vision, holding fast to her goals and never quitting on herself.

Ernesto & Matilda B. Perez
As owners of a Final Expense Insurance Agency, the Perezs felt they had a solid grasp on the power of residual income. When they were approached with the Ignite Opportunity, they were sold on the marriage of networking with a life-essential service that everybody uses and is already paying for. Now they do Ignite full-time and work their insurance agency part-time. "We are now living our dreams and have been blessed to be able to spend so much time with our three beautiful daughters, not to mention the many friendships we have made along the way."

Bob Perkins
A former owner of a retained search firm, as well as the force behind a start-up software company, Bob Perkins is a believer in entrepreneurship. So when he was first exposed to Ignite back in April 2005, he was ready. "What I saw in my first Ignite meeting was a business model based on solid marketing principles that I knew could work. The excitement and enthusiasm of people I respected also convinced me that I wanted to be a part of this. I have realized things about myself and my place in the world I think I never would have realized were it not for my accepting this challenge and then demanding more out of myself."

Jamie Piersol
A former banking vice president for over 20 years, Jamie Piersol has a solid understanding of finances. So when she saw the Ignite compensation plan, she knew immediately that she was on to something. However, it's not just the money, but the time freedom that really keeps Jamie motivated. "Ignite has changed my life in so many ways. I have three children, and now I finally have the freedom of time. I'm no longer stuck waiting for a two-day weekend to try to fit everything in. I have the freedom to go on field trips, take lunch to school, and more. It's amazing!"

Armando Quintero
Armando Quintero owned an auto repair shop when he discovered Ignite. "It started out as a way of saving money on my energy bills," he says. "Then I realized the business could really help people get ahead. Things grew as I started talking to others about Ignite and eventually went from part time to full time." Armando had tried network marketing before, but found that the products he represented didn't fill a significant need. "In Ignite, however, we offer something families already use and have budgeted for," he says. "We don't have to convince people to consume products they weren't already using. Thus, we fill peoples' hearts with real hope rather than their garages with unused products." What started out as a way to save money and help other people has transformed Armando's own life. "I still can't believe this," he says. "I help other people through Ignite and get richly rewarded for it."

Carlos & Mixsy Ramirez
As former proprietors of a security alarm company, Carlos and Mixsy can tell you the headaches associated with running a traditional business set off a few alarms of its own – oftentimes, it felt like the business was running them. That all changed when Ignite entered their lives. "Ignite has allowed us to change our focus from being too busy making a living to having time to help others and to give of ourselves," says Carlos. "Now we enjoy peace of mind and can face the future confidently while blessing others."

Jeff & Virgie Ransberger
The Ransbergers, owners of Ransberger Auction House, joined Ignite during its first year in business because they wanted a financially worry-free lifestyle. Says Virgie, "We got involved with Ignite because we wanted to establish a firm foundation for our future lives. It has changed our lives in many different ways, and it has allowed us to develop friendships and meet interesting people from all walks of life."

Dave & Diana Regis
Having been in financial services (insurance and annuities) for the past 30 years, Dave and Diana joined Ignite with a strong fiscal background. They wanted to do something special with their lives, and through Ignite they feel they have an opportunity to help their family and friends build passive, residual income. Dave and Diana's long-term goal is to be a part of a leadership team that they feel will dominate the energy markets in the various states that Stream Energy and Ignite enter. They feel that Ignite has given them the tools to dream again, and to build leaders to have freedom to be all they can be.

Stefan & Nancy Rodriguez
In a funny paradox, the motives that led Stefan to join Ignite are the exact same reasons that kept him initially from getting started: time and money. Having a short supply of both, Stefan was reluctant to enter the world of Ignite at first; however, his career in the retail world provided plenty of incentive to try something new. Stefan states, "I could never make commitments to my family because work always interfered. Holidays and weekends were just another day of work while my family spent time without me." Thanks to Ignite, his outlook is now much more positive. "There doesn't seem to be a way to measure just what we can accomplish with the Ignite Opportunity. It will create a comfortable and exciting life and retirement for our family and for generations to come."

Jim & Lori Spargur
Though he was a successful owner of a finance and leasing company, Jim Spargur was poor in one key regard – he lacked the time to pursue the things that truly mattered to him. Like many others, he turned to Ignite to help him solve the problem. "Because of Ignite, I have my life back. I sold my company in April 2007 and went full-time with Ignite in the same month. By having more time, I am able to focus on what I see as God's purpose for my life, such as bringing water and aid to Africa. In fact, thanks to the money I earned through Ignite, I put in my first water well to help a village in Kenya, Africa."

Tim & Ranee Sparkman
Tim is the president and owner of Money Core Inc. He joined Ignite to be able to enjoy the freedom that the residual income brings and to also experience retirement with his children. His ultimate goal is to walk away from his company and follow his sons in their baseball careers.

Bob & Melissa Spragins
Bob Spragins initially joined Ignite to supplement his children's college payment. But as his Ignite business has grown and prospered, Bob's "why" has changed from generating college money to the larger goal of taking control of his life financially. Ignite has enabled him to choose where he spends his time, whether it's visiting his daughter in college or taking his son across the country for baseball, or just spending the day at home. Bob's long-term goals are to be able to choose how to live his life, and by having the ability to invest, spend and share the financial rewards this business can bring.

Elbert & Labeebah Thomas
Elbert, a business owner for many years (owning dozens of rental properties, as well as a commercial cleaning and logistics company), and his wife Labeebah (who herself owned and operated a hair care business) joined Ignite in 2006 after realizing their long-term goals were taking them in a new direction. Says Elbert, “Being an entrepreneur, you have to keep your mind open for the next shift in wealth creation. With Ignite, it only made sense. Our goal is to give people a plan B and the ability to choose what they get out of life. Ignite has given us so much: income, freedom, friends, certainty, options and life on our terms.”

Melanie Thurmon
Melanie, an administrator/owner of an assisted living facility in Cartersville, Georgia who also co-owns a salon and medical spa among other businesses, is an entrepreneur to her roots. Even though she had an already incredibly busy lifestyle, she knew that when she saw Ignite, she had to get involved. “I joined Ignite because as a business owner I could see the amazing potential of the residual income. I knew that in time it would allow me to be debt free in my own business, which had never happened with my other endeavors. And I have always wanted to do more for my passion in ministry. Ignite is the way I plan to have the freedom do more of that. I am energized and blessed to be helping others grow their businesses and to see many become successful with the Ignite Opportunity.”

Martha Troy
A mother of four with a background which includes teaching, home repair and owning rental properties, Martha knows something about the value of hard work with an eye to the future. She was also fortunate to learn early on about the benefits of residual income. "My grandmother rented houses, as did my parents," said Martha, "and I grew up understanding the value of enjoying quality time with my family due to the benefits of passive, residual income." With the Ignite Opportunity, Martha is leveraging her big picture mindset, hard work ethic and belief in residual income to maximize her earning potential. And for the Troys, it’s a family business, with Martha’s husband, one son and one daughter all involved as Associates.

Richard Tuite
Richard (a business owner) joined Ignite to cover his fixed monthly expenses. But soon after joining, his vision of what Ignite could do for him expanded. Says Richard, "With Ignite, we know we had the opportunity to live life on our terms and help others realize their dreams. We see Ignite as a type of salary insurance, knowing that in good times and bad we have a "Plan B" income stream to see us through."

Jay Veal
Jay is the founder and principal of a national anesthesia staffing firm. At the core of that business model are the ideas of duplication and leverage. "When I saw that the Ignite business model also relies heavily on these concepts, it just made perfect sense to me," Jay said. "I love that we succeed by losing ourselves in the success of others. It is easy to persevere when it is not only about you. What an amazing opportunity to help others achieve a true residual income, while simultaneously creating one for your family!" Jay, his wife, Tonya and their son, Max, make their home in Athens, Georgia.

Wes & Sunny Wessel
The Wessels of Lake Conroe, Texas joined Ignite for some simple, yet deeply personal reasons: they wanted to be in a position to be able to do more for their family and for their church. As insurance professionals and estate planners, Wes and Sunny recognize how critical it is to have a solid financial gameplan in place to take care of the ones you love. And thanks to Ignite, they can do just that. “We are helping others reach their dreams and goals, and that is very satisfying for us,” said Wes. “We want to help thousands of other people reach financial freedom.”

Bruce & Ashley Widener
As the owners of a governmental relations and association management firm, the Wideners have represented a variety of businesses for the last 38 years. On top of that, they kept their schedule full with a healthy commitment to civic duties, with Ashley currently serving as a member of the Fulton County School Board, and Bruce a former member of the Georgia House of Representatives. But this couple was not too busy to catch Ignite fever. After watching the Opportunity video on the website, they were captivated. "Ignite has brought back hope and excitement to us. With the ability to work with our friends and make new friends, we have a renewed enthusiasm regarding our business and lives."

Jim & Fran Will
The Wills both enjoyed careers in the business world - Fran owned and operated a very successful travel agency which she sold a few years ago, and Jim is a business/sports consultant. So what compelled them to join Ignite? "We joined because of the simple and yet very powerful business plan centering around the deregulation of energy and the ability to receive residual income on one of life's absolute necessities," says Jim. "Our long-term goals with Ignite are to help and support the Ignite family to spread this beautiful message around the globe. Ignite has certainly changed, for the better, our lives both personally and professionally. We want to thank all the wonderful people we have met because of this opportunity. We are forever grateful."

Dr. Terry Wille
A naturopathic doctor, investor and realtor, Dr. Wille is someone who is used to working hard and being a dedicated entrepreneur. When she saw Ignite, she was immediately attracted to it. "I thought it was a no-brainer, and I wanted to set myself up for passive, monthly, residual income. This is a business where you can watch lives change for the better." Having reached the position of Executive Director, Dr. Wille is not ready to slow down. "My long-term goal is to continue to help change lives by introducing people to the fastest growing company in the history of the United States."

Ralph & Andra Williams
The Williams compiled an interesting combined resume: Ralph, a retired army pilot and officer, and Andra, a registered nurse, realtor and exchange student coordinator. The Williams knew all about working harder and were ready to work smarter when they found Ignite. Andra with her sales background enjoyed talking to people and had a drive for success. Yet that drive was contingent upon a feeling that she was helping people. For his part, Ralph was a bit quieter, but had military discipline and consistency in his favor. Today, the Williams enjoy the freedom and flexibility their Ignite business has afforded them. Andra loves the fact that she is helping others build a future. And Ralph, shedding his former shyness, can’t stop talking about Ignite. “All six of our children work Ignite, too, so it’s like heaven on earth,” Andra says. “Our last career stop is by far the most fulfilling,” Ralph says.

Scott & Amy Williams
Scott , an attorney by trade, and Amy, a stay-at-home mom, were financially secure before Ignite came into their life. Where they struggled, however, was in the area of time – Scott basically was too busy keeping his family afloat to have much time left to actually spend with them. That all changed when Ignite entered the picture. "Ignite opened a doorway that led me from working many hours a week to now being in a position where every day starts with figuring out what we are going to do as a family that day. It has been a truly fabulous business venture for us."

Ron & Heather Woodall
Despite recent economic storms, Ron Woodall kept his head above water in his real estate business. Yet he was nevertheless intrigued when his father-in-law introduced him to Ignite and the possibility of residual income. "I knew success here would take effort," he says. "Thus I gave my new Ignite business serious and immediate action. The flexibility of it allowed me to squeeze Ignite into my busy schedule." Soon, Ron was building up a level of residual income that came in handy during his leaner months in real estate. "In that business, every time I sell a house, I'm unemployed," he says. "But with Ignite, business activities always continue as my team keeps working even when my attention is elsewhere. That provides a consistent income. What a great feeling." That feeling never dampened when Ron's wife, Heather, wanted them to move back to her home state upon the birth of their first child. "We could realistically make that move, because Ignite not only offers residuals and flexibility, but also portability, unlike real estate," Ron says. "It's incredible!"
