OCCUPATION – NUCLEAR MEDICINE/SCIENCE TEACHER “Financial freedom.” “Live your dreams.” “Have more time to enjoy life.” Does that sound familiar? These are the catchcries of IBOs from all around the world. Whether you are an Independent Business Owner in Russia, the Philippines or Australia, these are the very motives that unite people of different backgrounds to go after a shared vision. Daniel and Patricia Armao want the same things too and are excited that as Emeralds they are a step closer to their ultimate dream life. But, when you dig a bit deeper, romantic Patricia says that what they really want is to recreate the carefree lifestyle that they enjoyed as teenagers when they fi rst started dating and when “all the time was ours”. “What we always envisioned is that we would end up with that carefree lifestyle from when we were 16 and 17-year-olds, but having that as adults with our children,”Patricia says. And with more money, Daniel adds. It is a sweet dream that the couple are confi dent they can realise. At only 30 years of age, Daniel and Patricia have an Emerald business, property portfolio and two beautiful sons. The Sydney couple are in the process of building their fi rst home – a “nice big home” Patricia says excitedly – which they will move into within the next year. The business has also allowed Patricia to give up full time work as a science teacher and they hope that Daniel will be able to stop working full time in nuclear medicine in the next fi ve years. The two also work well together. Daniel focuses more on business building side (Patricia says that he is good at strategising, goal setting and having a vision), while Patricia has a lot of fun building relationships and networking. “We just love it,” Daniel says. “It’s an awesome business.” D L A R E M E 09 TONY BAKER DREW AND JENI DAWSON NEW SOUTH WALES, AUST.
