When Samir came from Egypt to America he had $40 in his pocket and a desire to briefly see the land of opportunity. Samir ended up establishing a life in the United States.

Samir started out as a janitor while he went to Bible College. He went on to become a paper carrier while earning his Master’s degree in computer science. By the time he saw the Quixtar business, he was making a comfortable living through various businesses and real estate. “When I saw the business, I really did not recognize its potential. I basically agreed to buy products and go to a few meetings,” says Samir.

After 22 months of doing nothing but buying products and attending some seminars, Samir realized that Quixtar was the only way to achieve his financial goals – so he got busy. With the help and devoted friendship of Brad and Julie Duncan, he went Platinum in seven months and Ruby three months later.

When he reached Platinum, Samir was able to leave his job to focus on his business full time. Working hard, Samir overcame many obstacles. “I struggled with the language barriers. I was single and did all of the paperwork myself, yet I never let my challenges get in the way of my success,” says Samir.

Samir was in Emerald qualification when he met Theresa. She was also building the business as a single. “I was working long hours as a sales representative for a large corporation. I had what most of my peers would consider a great career. I was making good money, had all the corporate perks and was also pursuing an MBA when the business was presented to me for a second time,” says Theresa.

Although Theresa was doing well compared to most people her age, she had always envisioned a much more successful lifestyle. “This seemed to be the only vehicle for me to have it all! A great marriage and family, a thriving lifestyle and association with positive, goal oriented people,” says Theresa.

Samir and Theresa met at a seminar in California and quickly became great friends. They were so focused on their businesses that they were not looking to date, let alone get married. “I was very impressed with Samir and admired and respected him for what he had accomplished as a single and a foreigner in the business. He also had great family values and incredible integrity,” says Theresa. After about eight months, they decided to date and soon thereafter became engaged. Theresa walked away from her career to join Samir in the Quixtar business full time!

“We are so grateful to the World Wide DreamBuilders system and to our dearest friends and mentors, Brad and Julie Duncan, for helping us become better people and for helping us build our Diamondship,” state the Attalahs.

“Neither of us ever allowed our struggles to prevent us from thinking long-term. This business requires hard work, but the rewards are so worth it. We love sharing the business with others and helping them to fulfill their dreams and goals.”

Samir and Theresa are full-time business owners and full time parents to their three children Michael, Angelique and Matthew. “Our children will never know what it is like to have parents that go to a job 40-50 hours per week, but they will understand what it takes to succeed in your own business,” says Samir.
