Executive Myles Berrio of Athens, Georgia, went seven months without a car before building his Vemma business and joining the Vemma Premier Club. “I was working three jobs at the time and driving a 1998 Plymouth Breeze, which blew up on me my second month into the business,” he laughs. “Having obstacles helps me relate to other people’s struggles. If people tell me they don’t have transportation to get to a meeting, I understand where they’re coming from. I remember the feeling.” But thanks to hard work and determination, Myles is now soaring ahead with his Vemma business, teetering on the brink of Star Executive. He’s making a good income and now drives a Mercedes-Benz, courtesy of the Vemma Premier Club.*
Bringing Vemma to the South
One of the things that excited Myles from the start is that Vemma is still in its infancy in his region. “When I started 15 months ago, almost no one was doing Vemma in the South. It was all over the West Coast and even up the East Coast, but it still isn’t very common yet in Georgia. Here we have an opportunity that could change everybody’s lives, and most people here haven’t even heard of it. It’s exciting.” Myles started with a friend, and they initially did about one event per week. After a while, they realized that they needed to do more if they wanted to see more success. “We started having events open every other day, and just kept going up from there,” Myles says. “Sometimes people don’t show up, but as long as the events are open, you’re doing your job and people have the chance to learn about the opportunity. Now we have five to six events most days, thanks to tools like Skype and Oovoo and 3-way calls.”
Equal opportunity for everyone
“I’m a child of immigrant parents. I came to the U.S. when I was two, and I grew up with the total immigrant lifestyle,” says Myles, who just turned 21. “My mom is from Jamaica, and she was in the military for many years, so we moved around a lot. I could never keep the same friends. My dad is a laborer, often working multiple jobs, and he’s never learned English very well.” Myles says he’s seen love and sacrifice in his parents’ home, but very little affluence, despite his parents’ commendable work ethic. “My story shows that the Vemma opportunity is open to people of all backgrounds. Kids don’t need parents who are successful business owners to do well with Vemma. What you do need is the ability to connect with people, and you need to learn good presentation skills.” Myles says one of his next goals is to help his parents buy their first home. “They’ve never owned their own home, and it’s something I’d love to do for them.”

5 Success Tips from Myles
- You’ve got to love people. It’s so important for you to build relationships and really care about the people you’re helping.
- Never give up. Never let the amount of time it takes to achieve your goals be the reason you quit, because time will pass anyway. Even if it takes you five years to reach your goals, those five years will pass anyway.
- Never worry about competing with the guy next to you. Compare yourself to who you were yesterday. People get all distracted looking at what someone else has achieved, but don’t compare your chapter one to somebody else’s chapter 12.
- Grow into the leader you need to be. If you’re at the top and you’re all by yourself, you’re not a leader, you’re a hiker. Study personal development. Learn the right way to present.
- My favorite thing about this business is watching people grow. Especially being so young, it’s so amazing to see people who used to be party animals get so focused, disciplined and articulate. Then you get to see their lives change, and success happens to them — it’s just amazing.
