Who is Duke Tubtim? First, he’s an amazing leader in the new age group of entrepreneurs emerging in this country. In the next 10 to 20 years a new business model will start to dominate worldwide (at least at the rate Duke's team seems to be growing). It’s actually a very old business model, but one that, today is heavily scarred, and highly misunderstood.
How did Duke get involved with a scam, according to some? A cult? What was he thinking? Here’s a little background: he had experienced struggles at an early age when his father suffered a stoke and his mother had to become the breadwinner in the household. He worked traditional jobs to help out, including pizza delivery, but became frustrated and began looking for an alternative. He wanted something that would support his family despite even difficult situations like he had faced. This led him to start a network marketing business.
As with many, his initial experience in network marketing ended badly when the company went out of business. He considered leaving the industry then, but his friends and family encouraged him to find a company that they could depend on long term.
Duke began investigating MLM companies. What he in due course found was a company that impressed him due to their vision of affecting worldwide health, USANA Health Sciences. After starting, he began to see improvements in his father’s situation after using the USANA products and this strengthened his belief that the company was “for real.”
USANA has turned out to be the vehicle for his passion in helping his family to ensure that struggle was a thing of the past. And, speaking of vehicles, Duke also has a passion for cars, as do his teammates. He replaced a broken-down Toyota with a 2006 Bentley Continental GT and now owns a sizeable car collection, including a titanium 2003 Lamborghini and numerous racing cars.
Since he joined USANA in 2004, Duke has headed up a large team of Generation Y associates, probably larger than in any other MLM company. Since USANA’s products focus on the baby boomers, this has been quite remarkable.
Duke is an inspiring leader. He found that with network marketing, by expanding his expertise he could also correspondingly enlarge his paycheck. He has trained his team the concepts that have driven his own accomplishment. Now, many company training events packed with baby boomers are taught by his Generation Y associates. His team is always the most enthusiastic and is more professionally dressed than the “average” associate.
At the recent 2009 International Convention, his team filled nearly half of the Energy Solutions Arena in Salt Lake City. So who is Duke Tubtim? Answer: One of the most amazing network marketing sensations to come along and one who is in position to transform everything about entrepreneurship in this country.
Prior to the 2009 Convention, Duke progressed to 4-Star Diamond Director, with his new wife Sheila. Sheila, reportedly had a significant “job” mentality, so this “networking thing” has been quite an adjustment for her. The recent 4-Star achievement is just where things are starting out for this couple, as their passion turns to helping those on their team advance and building even bigger dreams. Network maketing and direct sales have a vast future if Duke and Sheila have anything to do with it.
