    Information without application doesn't equal transformation with Ray Thigpen

    Bio
    My name is Ray Thigpen. I am 65 years old. I am a Navy Veteran, retired tech support engineer, IPTPA Certified Pickleball Instructor, and serial entrepreneur.

    My wife and I retired in 2021, sold our house and everything in it, moved into our RV, and traveled the country for a couple of years. That’s when I was introduced to pickleball and fell in love with it and the community that comes with it. Last year I became a certified instructor and didn’t realize until I started teaching how much I actually enjoy that. Watching a student’s eyes light up when they finally get a concept is the most rewarding.

    I first heard about network marketing while I was home on leave from the Navy in 1980. My sister and her husband insisted everyone get together at Mom and Dad’s house at 7:00 PM on a Tuesday evening. They brought some guy over in a suit to demonstrate soap products. When he started drawing circles on a whiteboard and telling us how we could make money inviting friends and relatives to join us in business, I was hooked! I recruited a couple of my Navy buddies just before I shipped out to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Of course, I couldn’t do the business there, so that ended my first business.

    Over the years I joined many other network marketing businesses with varying degrees of success. I never made any real money, even though I rubbed shoulders with some very wealthy individuals in a couple of them. It wasn’t until recently that I discovered why I never had any real financial success.

    I was introduced to a new company just a couple of months ago by a pickleball player I had just started following online. Once I saw it, I decided I was “all in”. That is the one decision I never made in any of my past businesses. That, together with my newly discovered passion for teaching (from pickleball), is helping me to build an international team of like-minded entrepreneurs in a way I never thought possible before.

    From Fighting Fires to Lighting Up Success: A Journey Through Struggle to Victory with Kirk Horan

    Bio
    Why I started in NM:
    I was a career Firefighter living paycheck to paycheck on the verge of bankruptcy. I seen an opportunity in the Energy space that made sense to me because everyone already buys it, I’m not asking you to buy but to try it. The idea of getting a residual income based on a bill people have to pay, I’m in! Network marketing is truly the most equal playing field out there for anyone to create wealth & financial freedom.
