WorldVentures Co-Founders Wayne Nugent and Mike
Azcue would like to congratulate Samantha Torres on her promotion to
Director. Here are a few words from
Samantha about her journey to Director.
WorldVentures: What were the key tools to your recent
success and what did you learn?
Samantha Torres: TRAINING! TRAINING! TRAINING!
TRAINING!! Did I say TRAINING? but I can't take all the credit; the key
tools to my recent success have been my family/friends in TeamNoSleep who have
been pushing so hard during my flu episode that happened when I got back from
Nashville; because of their hard work I made my new rank while being sick!
(Thanks for that guys I love you!) Push your teammates to training! It’s KEY;
and Dave Watson's Score Book which is literally an amazing tool. Keeping
track of your work (being a tad bit green) will get you sooo far! If you track
your progress you will progress!
WorldVentures: How do you stay motivated to continue
to work so hard and move up the ranks?
Samantha Torres: I didn't come from much, I wasn't
raised with a silver spoon in my mouth; I've learned that staying humble and knowing
WHY I want to succeed so bad; will take me as far as I want to go in this
business. (If your WHY does not make you cry, dig deeper and find another one!)
You have to stay excited, pay attention and NEVER QUIT! Also, simply
knowing that I have my family and teammates who depend on me is what
pushes me every day.
WorldVentures: Do you think your achievements in the
past had an impact in your decision to join WorldVentures? If so, how did
your success impact your decision?
Samantha Torres: Actually, my lack of achievements is
what motivated me to join WorldVentures. Yea I've been on the perfect
attendance list, yea I've done many commercials and short films, first place in
many athletic events, but.... something has always been missing. I wanted more
meaning in life. I've never completed anything major or stuck around at a job
for longer than 3-4 months...till now. I needed something different. Working
for someone else’s dream was not cool to me at all. Besides how can I change
lives living in a box?! I love life, and people, and want to travel the world
before I die; feeling FREE has always been a HUGE desire of mine. No job could
ever give me those satisfactions; With WV I am FREE. :) Besides... I have the
gift of gab I knew I could do this as long as it was fun and on my terms
lol. I have my big sister Ruth Castro(director) and nephew Jose
Quinones(RMD) to thank for introducing me to WV. I love you guys! I never would
have done this without my family.
WorldVentures: What’s the single-most important
message you want to send to new mobile-preneurs?
Samantha Torres: Find out why..Why do you want to
succeed? is there a child depending on you? Are you tired of seeing your
parents work so hard not getting what they deserve? Do you feel and know you
deserve more out of life?...Whatever that reason is keep that reason WHY in
your heart and never let it go. Everyone has a why. Never give up, because it’s
not WorldVentures who you would be giving up on.. It’s yourself and your why..
Can you afford to not afford life later on?
WorldVentures: What impact do you expect
WorldVentures to have on your life and the lives of others?
Samantha Torres: A BIG ONE! Retirement for everyone
who puts there PERSONAL EFFORT in to this. FUN and FULFILMENT for ALL.
WorldVentures: What are your 1 yr., 5-yr. and 10-yr.
goals with WorldVentures?
Samantha Torres: I've only been a part of WV for just
about 6 months now, Making Director happened so fast that I feel sky is
definitely NOT the limit! 1yr. from now I'd love to have my own home, building
new schools and homes for the less fortunate, Be IMD and working on taking my 2nd
position to the top as well. 5yrs. from now I hope to have all my closest
friends and family members at the top with me :) 10yrs. from now my children
will be wearing a MAKING A LIVING LIVING T-Shirts, and the whole world will
know who we are :)
WorldVentures: If you do have days when you’re not
motivated, how do you handle it?
Samantha Torres: I don't have time to be unmotivated.
My why is way too big to let the little things kick me off track. If it happens
to you, just surround yourself around successful motivated people at all times
and it'll rub off on you; trust me.
WorldVentures: What is the one piece of advice
someone gave you that you wish you had known much earlier in life?
Samantha Torres: My nephew told me, "In order to
get comfortable you have to get uncomfortable". He was right; I wanted my
own home, a car, and money without restrictions...so he said "The person
who holds the clicker makes the big money!"..That was uncomfortable for me
at first, but hey; if you want it, you have to get uncomfortable to get
comfortable.. Now my comfort level in life has gone way up.
WorldVentures: What legacy will you leave to your
child/children/family?
Samantha Torres: I want my family to remember me as
someone who never gave up on life or people. Someone who traveled the world
with the intention to change 20 million lives by introducing wv to someone,
building bottle schools, and foster homes. I want them to know and understand
that opportunities only knock once in life and I took it and ran with it; that
being WV, and that being the reason why they don't have to struggle like I did;
so they can have a life with no limits; and be proud to be a part of the wv
family.
WorldVentures: What tactic or strategy has had the
biggest impact on the size of your check?
Samantha Torres: RUN THROUGH YOUR NUMBERS AND DO IT
FAST! Not waiting for travel parties or my sponsor to show the business, in
hand with keeping track of my progress using the score book is what has had an
extremely big impact on the size of my check. IF YOU WANT IT, GO GET IT!

WorldVentures: What do you feel sets DreamTrips apart
from a regular vacation?
Samantha Torres: VIP lifestyle baby! IT’S FUN! and
what other company do you know will let you waive your fees with just 4
people?!
WorldVentures: What’s your favorite motivational
quote and why?
Samantha Torres: "If you want something different,
then you have to do something different."
This is my favorite quote because I've always known this to be true in
life just never found where to apply my efforts until I joined wv.
WorldVentures is just different. :)
