Wealth Masters International:Changing the World one Person at a Time
57The Start of Something Big
When some people think of prosperity they may think about a large sum of money or maybe a lavish lifestyle. Others try not to think of it at all bcause they think prosperity is something only other people get. Not so with the founders of Wealth Masters International. They understand prosperity in a way that's creating wealth, health & wisdom for thousands of people like you & me. "Our belief system is that everyone should be in a position to live a life of abundance & they should come to expect that they can have it all," says WMI CEO & Co-founder Kip Herriage.
In its four years in business, Wealth Masters Internatonal (WMI) has made a big impression in the world of network marketing. This successful Sugar Land Texas company offers a product line that addresses the whole spectrum of a person's life but probably not in the way you might expect.
WMI offers a plan for prosperity in every area of life. How is that poossible, you ask? The key to all its success comes down to education. "The one thing we hear above all else from our members is that our products & education have opened up a world to them that they never thought possible before now" says Kip.
Kip & President/Co-founder Karl Bessey developed the products because of their personal & financial histories & the desire to create an education for all. "We developed our products as a result of our own life experiences, recognizing the challenges & the adversities that the average person faces daily. we Live in unique times, and now, more than ever, people are looking for a company that they can completely trust to help them in every area of their lives" say Kip.
The WMI line consists of four proprietary products. The M1 Masters program helps someone with even no financial background create a firm foundation upon which they can develop a more prosperous future. The program consists of exclusive CDs, books & private members-only Web site access. In addition, M1 members receive an 8 CD tax program & workbook. The content is produced by experts in the field of personal & financial enhancement. Members & consultants learn how to reduce debt, lower taxes, create wealth, structure & protect assets & enhance overall health & well-being.
WMI has formed partnerships, or alliances, with experts in the fields of wealth creation, personal empowerment, leadership skills, alternative health, financial planning, time management, well-being & others. These alliances support WMI's holistic method of helping people achieve success in every area of their lives. "This unique approach enables us to find the best at what they do, through research & due diligence, & to educate these experts about WMI's business model & approach to serving the needs of members," Kip Says. "Our members than have access to these alliances for life with our exclusive lifetime memberships."
As WMI adds new Alliances, members and consultants will have access to these experts as well. And, unlike some other business partnerships, the alliance agreements is not pay-for-play. "There are no conflicts of interest with our alliances," Karl says. "We do not get paid fees of any kind."

The Dynamic Duo
Co-founders Kip Herriage & Karl Bessey met in December 1999 at a conference for another network marketing company. Although they came from different backgrounds,they struck up a close, lasting friendship.
Karl was born in the small town Ephraim, Utah, where he graduated from highschool & hoped to be an electrician in the local mines. "It was the only high-paying job in our area". He says. For twenty-two years, Karl was an underground coal miner, working long hours & putting in a 4 to 4 hour commute every day. "I felt stagnant, with no personal growth," he says. "I would always lay in bed & dream about being my own boss--the time, the money, the freedom." Karl moved on to the network marketing industry for the next three years & that is where he met Kip.
After earning a bachelors degree in business from Sam Houston State University, Kip, a Houston native, began working for a major Wall Street firm. By 27 he was vice president & managing more than $20 million in assets. But even as a successful financial advisor, Kip felt unfulfilled. He retired at 37 & joined the network marketing industry. "I was fascinated with the like-mindedness & quality of the people this industry attracted but was less than thrilled with the products & services that I found," he says.
A two-hour phone conversation on Dec. 5, 2004 started the prosperity ball rolling for Kip & Karl & countless others in the now flourishing WMI family. "After talking about doing this for a couple of years, Karl & I had a long phone meeting where we decided that it was time to launch our company" Kip says. One that could truly help people in every area of their lives."
From the beginning it was important to both founders that the new company address a wide spectrum of issues, not just the financial."We looked at the industry as a whole & realized that no other company had put together a total financial services company, personal development company and welness company under one umbrella,"Karl says.
"This led to our holistic approach in building a product line that alows our members great success in these most important areas: wealth, health & wisdom" Kip says.
Building the business from scratch was a tough endeavor. There were long meetings, lots of hard work & lots of compromise. "We obviously come from two different worlds," Karl says. "So we have different views on some things. But after several discussions & much thought, we always come to agreement on important decisions made for WMI. I definitely think the diversity in our backgrounds brings a perfect balance to the business."
When asked about their original short-term goals, both members say they had none. They say they wanted to focus on long-term success. "From the beginning we knew that we could only survive long-term if our products & services could change our members lives." Kip says. "And we are very proud of the life-changing results they have delivered."
But getting others to share their vision wasn't always easy in the beginning. "The biggest hurdle was attracting quality members & consultants who saw that we were a unique company that believed in delivering the most life-changing education, services & products available. Once we began to establish our credibility & build a reputation, the rest took care of itself" Kip says.
Today, both men say they enjoy their work as much as they enjoy their free time. "We are best friends & share a passion for creating health & wealth in others, Kip says. "We have both learned that when you help others first, the universe delivers a return to you ten-fold."
