Mike Raiche

Mike Raiche got his first taste of network marketing while still in college.  The company he was with eventually shut it's doors yet Mike became more intrigued than ever.  "My lack of experience led me to choose the first opportunity that came my way.  I never made a lot of money with that first venture but the experience I gained has been invaluable.  Even though I failed, the concept of doing the work once and receiving a check for life seemed appealing."

A year later, after four months of research, Mike began his next journey in the home business industry.  Still only 22 years old, Mike spent the next 13 years with the same company.  Known for years as the "pizza guy", since his occupation after college was delivering pizzas, Mike worked his way to the "Plantinum" level over a 3 year period.  "I wasn't rich...but being a single guy it gave me a real sense of freedom and I had a little control of my time."

In 1996, while waiting tables part time and building his Amway business, a friend recruited Mike into the mortgage industry.  For the next 10 years he had some ups and downs in both his Amway business and his mortgage business.

"I guess you could say I was pretty burnt out."

In 2006 Mike had a chance meeting with John and Ana Mann.  "In my first brief conversation with Ana I knew that there was something special."  At the same time Mike admits that he was pretty unhappy with where his life was headed.

"I was torn...I had devoted countless nights and weekends 'building my dream' and developing life long relationships, yet I was truly unhappy and felt trapped."

Over an 8 month period Mike and Ana kept in contact periodically.  In May of 2007 Mike ultimately resigned his current business and decided to start over.  "We received a very large check from that company the month we resigned our business...so it's not all about the money."

Mike now has a devoted team and enjoys the fact that most of what he does is done from home.  "Most 'home based' businesses are anything but 'home based'.  I love the fact that now we have the tools and systems in place to do almost everything from home."

Mike and his wife Jocelyn have identical twin boys and a 1 year old.  "They are my reason for everything that I do."
