Building a Legacy After 50, When the Decision Is No Longer About Money, But About Values

Levente Okos, Zinzino Director – a conscious shift that also shapes his children’s vision of the future.

“Dad, I want to be a networker, because I want to be a free and healthy person.”

Few sentences give a parent stronger feedback than when their child not only sees, but truly understands what they are building. For Levente Okos, the stakes of the decision therefore went far beyond business: close to fifty, with more than twenty years of experience in network marketing behind him, after the closure of a company in Romania, the question was not whether he would continue in the industry, but which company, which corporate culture, and what kind of leadership were worth committing to for the next ten to fifteen years. When you have to make a change, there is no time for evasions. Either you continue out of habit, or you consciously rebuild on new foundations—so that what you create also contributes to your children’s vision of the future.

“I went out for a run, and as I often do, I was thinking about whether I really want to keep doing this, or if I’m just continuing out of habit. Network marketing itself was never in question—I’ve always loved

János Sztruhár: 35 Years of Building Success Through Long-Term Vision

“What Drives Me Isn’t Someone Else’s Dream – It’s My Own Direction.”
Today, János Sztruhár stands among East-Europe’s most respected network marketing professionals. Back in the early 1990s, when entrepreneurship was still taking shape in Slovakia, he already saw promise in an industry no one really understood that time. At just the age of twenty-four, he followed his instinct and his vision into a brand-new world of business. More than thirty-five years later, as a Zinzino President, he now mentors others with the same mindset that once guided his first step: “What if it’s true – for me too?”
Courage, Not Recklessness
Until the 1990s, Slovakia offered only one career path: decades of loyal employment followed by retirement. The political transformation changed everything—suddenly, people could start their own businesses. And with that freedom came the first wave of risky pyramid schemes. Many saw excitement in them, but few truly understood what they were. János Sztruhár thought differently. When legitimate, well-established direct selling companies began entering the market, he decided to give it a try—for one simple reason that kept echoing in his mind: “What if it’s true—for me too?”

“At my very first presentation, I stuttered so much I couldn’t even introduce my sponsor.

Ján Sztruhár: 35 rokov buduje svoje podnikanie podľa logiky dlhodobého uvažovania

“Nie ciele iných ma posúvajú vpred. Moje vlastné ciele ma vedú správnym smerom.”
Ján Sztruhár je dnes jednou z najznámejších osobností sieťového marketingu vo východnej Európe. Na začiatku deväťdesiatych rokov, keď sa na Slovensku ešte len formovalo podnikateľské myslenie, on už videl budúcnosť v dovtedy neznámom odvetví. Vo veku 24 rokov sa rozhodol vstúpiť do obchodného modelu, ktorému vtedy rozumelo len málo ľudí, no jeho viedla jeho vízia. Odvtedy uplynulo tri a pol desaťročia a dnes, ako vedúci spoločnosti Zinzina na obchodnej úrovni Prezident, mentoruje iných s tou istou otázkou, ktorá ho viedla na začiatku:
„Čo ak je to cesta  aj pre mňa?“
Odvaha, nie nerozvážnosť
Do deväťdesiatych rokov na Slovensku kariérna cesta znamenala takmer výlučne zamestnanecký pomer – po 40–50 rokoch práce nasledoval dôchodok. Zmena režimu však všetko obrátila naruby: otvorili sa možnosti pre podnikanie, no spolu s tým sa rýchlo objavili aj pochybné pyramídové hry. Mnohí v nich cítili potenciál, ale len málokto sa v tom dokázal zorientovať.
Ján Sztruhár však premýšľal inak: keď sa na trhu objavili seriózne spoločnosti s dlhoročnou históriou v oblasti priameho predaja, rozhodol sa v nich vyskúšať sám seba – jednoducho preto, že ho neustále prenasledovala otázka:
„Čo ak je to cesta aj pre mňa?“

„Na mojej úplne prvej skupinovej
