The Secret of Success: Part 1
Tips From Top Le-Vel Promoter, Jamie Peca
What’s a Promoter’s secret of success? What does it take to make it to the top?
We wanted to find out, so we asked five 200K Promoters: What’s the secret of your success?
Everyone’s story is a little bit different, but we think you’ll notice a few common themes…
Vision. Drive. Tenacity. Faith. Family.
In this post, top Promoter, Jaime Peca, shares her life, her home and her secret of success. Take notes! Then, stay tuned for the four other Promoters’ secrets in upcoming weeks.
Powerhouse Promoter Jamie Peca’s advice is to show up, set goals — and don’t let anything prevent you from reaching them.
We have our hands on a multi-billion dollar company, and more millionaires than I’ve ever seen. People who aren’t in network marketing are saying all the time “I can’t do what you do,” but all I do is show people how to get truly paid what they’re worth. We can take this business anywhere. We can travel anywhere, live anywhere, and still run our business from a laptop or a cell phone. The more people realize that they shouldn’t be fearful, but excited, the bigger this industry will be.
Originally from the great town of Ottawa, Ontario, I am a country girl through and through. I was just interested in the product when I first started — I had zero interest in the business. My Promoter messaged me about the product — she tried to talk about the business a little bit, but like I said, I had zero interest in taking on anything else.
I was exhausted, not sleeping well, and kept seeing posts about the nutrition I was lacking. So she sent me a big package full of enough THRIVE for my husband and I to try. I was a Day 1 THRIVER, and was sleeping better than I’d ever slept. I was a better mom, wasn’t grumpy, and was — maybe not excited to get up, but — getting up with my kids.
I called her right away and said “I know five people right off the bat who would love to try this product.” That fire was there and I could do big things here, so we just kind of talked with some people when we first got started, knew the date we were going to launch, and we just — blew up! We went to the top of the company in 42 days and have never looked back in 16 months.
You get to the top by showing up. Follow someone’s lead, it’s not about 200K; it’s about VIP 800. You don’t get to 200K by leaving people behind because we were all those people. Take advantage of the VIP 800. Go lead your team to VIP 1600. Show somebody how to hit that iPad mini bonus. We all have the same tools, but you have to want it more than the other people.
I worked in the social work field in my 20s, so I was exhausted all the time. I worked crazy hours, seven days a week and I loved it! But once I had my kids I realized how much I wanted to be home. While I was out helping other people’s lives flourish and get better, I was missing all those little things with my own family. That’s when I discovered network marketing completely by accident. It was the biggest blessing because I truly realized what residual income can give to a family. Being able to work those hours into my regular life, means I do not have to miss out on important moments — I can put my kids on the bus, or take my daughter to a riding lesson, or go away on a weekend to go dirt biking.
What 200K Means to Jamie
200K has changed our family’s life. I hit 200K quickly and I didn’t really understand what came with that. I just knew that every month our goal was to hit or exceed it and we have blown past that. Le-Vel rewards the right people and anybody can come in, be brand new and earn these lifestyle getaways. In the last year and a half, I’ve traveled more than I have in my entire life before Le-Vel. Between lifestyle getaways and trips that we take because we’re able to, it’s been the most fun I’ve ever had.
We just recently became a full-time family at home which has been something that I never imagined could be possible. It was scary to make that decision but I can’t tell you how happy my kids are that daddy gets to be up with them in the morning, and that he’s there to pick up our son after school to bring him to the dirt bike track so they can hop on dirt bikes together — it just has allowed such time luxury. It’s not even the money. It’s the time that it’s truly given us that is such a gift.

Skeptics will always be there, but network marketing is really finding its place in society as prices go up and people are missing out on so much fun. The quality of life that people used to have isn’t there anymore. They’re trading time for money. So bring on the skeptics! I’ll show them how to make some true residual income!
What I love about Paul and Jason, is that it’s not about them, ever. When they come up with bonuses it’s given back to the teams, to the people that are in the field working this business. Companies become all about “me, me, me” and lose vision of where they started, and that is where they go wrong.
People say, “How did you do that?” Well, I didn’t sleep. For the first 40 days of my business when we as a team went 200K — I was fed in my bed, I maybe showered once a week. I lived on dry shampoo and I tried to look semi-put together. I knew that I could stink and I could eat one meal a day but I knew that I wanted something so much bigger and that I wasn’t going to let any of those be excuses as to why I didn’t make my goal.
It’s so cool to see how smart our corporate team is because you know they’re always coming up with customer incentives and reaching out to our customers on our behalf so our job is not as difficult. We are out there doing what we should be doing which is building, training, teaching, and getting the THRIVE Experience into people’s hands. In one month we had three top ranks in the company and it was because people aren’t slowing down and the company’s not slowing down.
I’m a sponge and I want to learn how millionaires work their business and I want to learn how people have hit top rank so quickly or hear how brand new people are doing it because I think that you can never stop learning. And the second that you think that you’ve arrived — and I say this all the time — when you think that you’ve arrived, your business is going to fail. You need to just call yourself out. A Promoter on in my team right now is not sure what’s happening with her business and why it’s not growing — and I can tell you it’s because she’s not growing.
I always tell my team that I never want people to look at me and say “You know you tell us to show up and to get on calls and to re-VIP, but you don’t do any of those things.” I never want my team to think I didn’t hit a re-VIP when I was fully capable, or I didn’t hit a lifestyle getaway when I was fully capable, because every single person is given the same opportunity — it’s what you choose to do with it. So when we’ve got corporate calls, I’m on. When we have leadership Zoom calls, I’m on them or I’m leading them. My goal for this business is to be able to set my kids up for life so they can truly do whatever they want.
We’re a baby company. To be this successful so early in the infant stages of business, and have a product that nobody else has, is very rare. When people put their excuses to the side and make a choice that they’re going to do this, they will change their lives, just like we did ours.
