Sometimes a good job and successful career isn't everything it seems — at least not for the Ehrlichs. Paula was a successful Global Manager for TWA in Miami, Florida, running their worldwide cruise operation and their South American sales operation ($100 million revenue responsibility). Mort was living in New York running a billion dollar global travel business and a technology company in the Ukraine. Though both were successful in their jobs, their lifestyles were less than convenient. As Paula says, "I had no life." The couple only saw each other on weekends and holidays and knew they were in need of a better quality of life.

Paula first learned about Nu Skin® products from an employee at TWA. She says, "He arrived at the office one Monday morning looking amazing and I absolutely had to know what he had done over the weekend. That was when I heard about Nu Skin for the very first time." Little did she know her employee had just opened the first window of opportunity with a peek at a new life.

Mort was supportive of her newly-kindled enthusiasm for the business and accompanied Paula to Provo for their initial formal introduction to Nu Skin Enterprises. Impressed by what he saw and heard, Mort later sold his business and joined Paula full-time. Now Mort and Paula happily manage their growing business together.

Mort and Paula attribute much of their success to their goal oriented mindsets, knowing what they want despite the difficulties that arise. The network marketing business was a far cry from their original occupations and so they both worked hard to pursue a new dream and a new business. The Ehrlichs believe one of the biggest temptations in life is to settle for too little. They often tell young people just starting out, "There are a lot of things in life that will catch your eye, but only a few that will catch your heart — pursue those." Mort and Paula followed their hearts and found themselves in the opportunity of a lifetime.

As successful business builders, the couple has some sound advice for newcomers. "Don't waste time trying to motivate others," they say. "In this business, it's all about going through the numbers to find motivated people-and then have fun helping them achieve their goals and dreams, always keeping in mind that the journey should be as fulfilling and enjoyable as the destination."
