Success in Qivana is as important to Qivana IBO's as it is in any other business. Diane Drawdy, a friend and fellow Qivana IBO sat down for an interview with me recently. Diane and I have been friends for many years. Diane and I first met as employees of St. Lucie County Bank in Fort Pierce, Florida. We have remained dear friends through the years. I have watched her sons grow up. We visit each other on a regular basis either in her home state of Florida or my zero in Mississippi. Diane is conducive introducing me to the Qivana opportunity.
I began the Qivana Success interview by asking Diane where she first detected about Qivana. She told me that her first introduction to Qivana was through her son Chris. His friend, Stephen Douglas, son of Marshall Douglas (once a high senior Diamond in Amway), had confided in him that something BIG was about to happen. Nothing was familiar about Qivana at the time, not even the name of the company, the CEO, or even what the products would be. But by all accounts it was going to be huge when the announcement was made.
This is the point where my Qivana Success story begins. I was visiting Diane in February of 2009 when she told me of this new venture that she had detected about. She couldn't tell me much at the time, but I have familiar and trustworthy Diane for over 30 years, so I just kept an open mind and waited for the announcement of the company's name. We found out the company's name during a conference call midmost of February. Qivana was the name of our new company. The name Qivana is derived from combining Qi or Chi which is the Chinese word accustomed describe "the natural energy of the Universe and Vana from Nirvana, the perfect peace of the state of mind.

After I found out about these outstanding leadership, I was even more excited than before.
When I attended the pre-launch of Qivana in Atlanta, Georgia my Qivana Success dream became a reality. What a presentation this corporate team made! Every Qivana IBO and guest there was blown away by the product announcements, the company organization, and the compensation plan. I left Atlanta knowing that I had found a business with the leadershiphip and products I had been searching for.
Diane was able to attend the official launch of Qivana in Orlando this September. In the interview I asked her what her impression had been. She echoed my sentiments regarding the superior leadershiphip. Although she had been involved in network merchandising before, she told me she had ne'er felt such a sense of unity in the corporate leadership or in the business owners themselves.
Qivana is truly supported people portion people reach their dreams. Both Diane and I have adult our downline rapidly. My team grew to over 50 IBO's by the time the first products were shipped in April. Stay tuned for part two of the Qivana Success interview!
