Over thirty years ago, Kanti and Hemi Gala came to the U.S. from Mumbai, India, and were told that the formula
for success was to get a good education, find a good company, and work hard for rest of your life!
Kanti, with a master’s
degree in electrical engineering, worked for General Electric. Hemi, an MD, ran a successful medical practice. In 1987, after
seeing the business plan, Hemi was excited, while Kanti was quite skeptical. They were encouraged to attend an upcoming Free
Enterprise celebration, where Kanti – intending to stay for only two hours – eventually stayed for two days, overwhelmed
and impressed by the thousands of people attending the meeting.
Kanti recalls, "I saw Bill and Peggy speak both Saturday evening and Sunday morning. I remember thinking that
I had found a real home, one that would allow us to fulfill our dreams. Today, we are blessed with a rich ’mom and dad’
in Bill and Peggy, and a life of abundance that is also in keeping with our heritage and values."
Kanti retired from his job in November 1990, and Hemi left her practice in July 1994. She donated her medical practice
to the local hospital and walked away, a free woman.
Their son, Mayank, and daughter-in-law, Sejal, joined them in the business and retired from their jobs before the
age of 25. Their teenage daughter, Aarti, is already reading books like, The Magic of Thinking Big, and enjoying life
at its best!
Kanti and Hemi are blessed with a huge business – over 200,000 sucsessful people worldwide –
thanks to the educational system. "We believe that we have the best opportunity in the world, with an elite leadership
put together by our mentors, Bill and Peggy. Anyone can follow this proven system to achieve their dreams."

Jack and Magee met in the mid 1960's when they were both attending The Catholic University of America in
Washington, DC. They married after graduation and moved to northern Virginia, where Jack was a high school biology teacher
and basketball coach, and Magee taught second grade.
Jack had been taught that education was the key to financial
security, so he earned his master's degree at night school, two nights a week for three years. The financial gain was minimal,
so he continued his studies towards a PhD.
By the early 1970's, the Spencers had three sons, and Magee left teaching
to be at home and raise their children. Jack was becoming frustrated because no matter how hard he worked, or how many degrees
he earned, they could barely make ends meet. When Jack and Magee saw a business plan in 1975, they got excited. It seemed
like a way to earn a few hundred dollars each month to supplement Jack's teaching salary.
They
believe this business is truly unique, because you can only succeed when you take your eyes off yourself and help another
succeed. "Nothing else can compare." Jack retired from teaching in 1979, and has been a full-time husband and father ever
since. "I have been able to be the role model for my sons, to show them what opportunity and hard work can achieve. To me,
this is the greatest gift I could give them."
The Spencers feel blessed with all the material rewards they have achieved
– a beautiful home on five wooded acres, luxury cars, travel to the world's finest resorts, but much more important,
they say, are the intangibles.
"Today, we have wonderful friends to share our dreams with, a tremendous sense of peace
and security, and the knowledge that we are doing something worthwhile with our lives, helping our fellow man."
