ELLIS GAN & KENNIX YAP
Selangor
Before Amway, Ellis was a student, financially dependent on his parents and unsure about his future. I was working as a model. From the outside, life looked glamorous, but inside I felt uncertain. Modelling was unstable, short-lived, and often dependent on opportunities or connections. I knew that one day that path would come to an end. I didn’t want to wait until then to pivot.
For Ellis, the turning point came when his father, a banker who had been exposed to numerous industries, encouraged him to explore Amway. He had never recommended any other businesses, but he strongly recommended this one. Ellis knew that if his father spoke so highly of it, it must have real potential.
For me, Amway represented a future not limited by age, appearance, or circumstance. It was a chance to build something lasting. When friends questioned my choice, I didn’t argue. Instead, I proved myself through action.
As our business grew, people began to entrust us with their dreams. Watching partners gain confidence and achieve breakthroughs was more powerful than merely achieving milestones. That was when we realised that true success is not about climbing alone; it’s about lifting others to rise together.
With my modelling background, embracing the future of health and beauty felt natural. Nutrilite’s legacy in nutrition and ARTISTRY’s global recognition in skincare gave us confidence to align with the health & wellbeing trend. By combining fitness, nutrition, and beauty, we were helping people live healthier, more confident lives.
One moment that stayed with us was when our team queued outside an Amway Shop at 6.00am for a new product launch. It was cold, everyone was tired, yet their eyes showed determination. That was when we knew this wasn’t about selling products. It was a collective effort to achieve our dreams together.
This journey has profoundly transformed us. What started as two people starting out in life, has evolved into a path where we now lead and inspire others. We’ve learnt to communicate, lead, and inspire. More importantly, Amway has given us time to be with our children and families, and the chance to set an example that dreams are worth pursuing.
Today, our family members are also on this journey. Some have even started their own Amway businesses. Looking ahead, our vision is to inspire more young people to see Amway as a platform for health, beauty, and entrepreneurship. The future is not only about income. It is about impact, growth, and the freedom to live life on your own terms.
