Steve Van Andel, the co-chief executive officer of direct sales giant Amway Corp., plans to retire at the end of 2018.
The early announcement is intended to give the Ada-based company time to figure out who will take over his role as co-CEO, a position he shares with Doug DeVos. Van Andel plans to remain as chairman of the board while stepping away from day-to-day duties. Doug DeVos serves as company president.
“My goal is to stay engaged,” Van Andel told MLive/The Grand Rapids Press.
“I love the Amway business. I love being part of it. I love what Amway does and what Amway stands for.”
Van Andel has worked for Amway for 45 years and has served as co-chief executive since 1995, when he succeeded his late father, Jay, who co-founded the company with Rich DeVos, father of Doug DeVos.
“Both our dads told us don’t ever forget two heads are better than one and that probably helped out our partnership,” Steve Van Andel said.
He said a decision hasn’t been made if one of his siblings Nan, David or Barb, or even if someone outside the family would take over the co-CEO responsibilities. David Van Andel is founder and CEO of the Van Andel

Forbes Believes MLM Is One Of The Most Significant Solutions For Retirement
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
Robert Laura, a contributor for Forbes.com, has recently written an article for the publication, stating that he believes MLM is one of the most significan solutions for retirement and shares why:
At some point in your life you’ve been pitched a multi-level marketing (MLM), direct selling, or network marketing business opportunity. While the pitch varies from company to company, it basically promises a chance to ditch your 9-5 work schedule, be your own boss, and make lots of money while making new friends in the process.
It all sounds good on paper, yet there is a seemingly endless debate over whether these companies and programs are legitimate business opportunities or not, so I dug in and got the real scoop. As a result, I believe that the entire industry is poised for explosive growth and can be one of the most significant solutions to America’s currentretirement savings crisis.
Initially, that may sound like a bold statement, but it’s not if you understand retirement the way I do. The reality is, making a successful transition into retirement has more to do with psychology than with money… and the same may hold true for multi-level and network marketing.

Dallin Larsen’s Retirement Letter
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
In January of 2005, Karree and I, along with Randy, Henry and a handful of distributors launched MonaVie. It’s been almost ten years since that fateful day in Salt Lake City, Utah that would prove to be the genesis for perhaps the greatest decade of network marketing success ever achieved by a single company. We shattered records but more importantly, people’s lives were changed all over the world, physically, emotionally, financially and yes, spiritually. Not the least of which were mine and Karree’s.
The MORE Project was born and still today and hopefully for decades to come, the children will continue to be blessed in the favelas of Brazil, thanks to MonaVie and each of us and of course, to Sergio and Sylvia. No words can adequately convey the depth of feeling and gratitude that Karree and I have in our hearts for the MonaVie family nor will time erase the fond memories we feel for each of you whom we’ve had the privilege of serving. We are simply better, because of you and your goodness.
With Mauricio Bellora now on board as CEO of MonaVie, I believe that MonaVie can absolutely create greater success in the future than we’ve seen in
