How Armand Puyolt Got Started in Network Marketing
Armand Puyolt was only 16 years old when he found network marketing.
It all started when he went to a home party with his mom.
He saw people buying crystal products and thought he could sell them too.
At first, he just wanted to know where to buy the products, but he learned he needed to be sponsored.
Once he joined, he got creative. Instead of hosting home parties, he and his high school friends went door to door selling.
This strategy helped him hit the top of the company fast.
But at a company event, people doubted his methods.
A mentor sat him down and explained the power of residual income.
That moment changed everything for Armand.
He joined another company and used what he learned to build even faster.
By 18, he bought a house in cash. By 20, he made his first million dollars.
Turning Point in the Business
He knew how to make money in MLM, but his biggest breakthrough came when he faced failure.
The government changed the rules, and his telecom company shut down.
He lost everything.
Instead of quitting, he joined another company and started fresh.
He realized that the key to long-term success was not just selling products but building leaders.
Every setback became a lesson, and he kept moving forward.
That mindset helped him build multiple million-dollar businesses.
Worst Moment in Network Marketing for Armand Puyolt
One of the hardest times in Armand Puyolt's life happened just as he launched a new company.
He had put everything into the business when he collapsed and was rushed to the hospital.
Doctors found a tumor near his heart and told him he had stage 4 gastric cancer.
They gave him six months to live.
Most people would have given up.
But Armand made a decision.
If he only had six months, he would spend every moment building his business so his family and team would be taken care of.
He worked harder than ever.
He sold $1,000 worth of product every day.
Six months later, he was still alive.
His company was thriving, and so was he.
Today, he is cancer-free and earning over $10 million a year.
