Today, because of our business, we have fulfilled many of our dreams,” state Ron and Georgia Lee Puryear. “We have the freedom and the money to do what we choose, when we choose, and with whom we choose.”

At the time the plan was shown to the Puryears, the road of life resembled a graveled dirt road. Times were rough and rocky as Ron became increasingly dissatisfied with his career as an office accountant and treasurer of a public utility. The low income potential and the lack of freedom were like a thorn in his side. Meanwhile, Georgia Lee was working nights and weekends as a waitress at Denny’s restaurant, and the unpredictable long hours began taking their toll on her. Ron knew there had to be a better way.

Then they saw a business that would help pave the road to financial and personal success for them. At that time, they lived in a small home and drove a 1965 Rambler station wagon that leaked oil. “When the business was presented to us, I saw it as a way for Georgia Lee to quit her job and help me build the business full time,” says Ron. “I started our business with the hope that we could make an extra $400 a month. That was the amount of money it would take to replace Georgia Lee’s take-home pay. It was a way for her to be at home with the children without a loss of income.”

Georgia Lee was against the business at first because she did not really understand it, so it became Ron’s dream. He was very much against Georgia Lee’s job and felt she should be a full-time mother for their two sons, Jim and Brian. He built the business on his own for the first six months and did well enough that Georgia Lee was able to leave Denny’s and become her own boss.

Once Georgia Lee had the freedom to make her own schedule, she began to appreciate and gain respect for the business and began helping Ron. The Puryears’ efforts paid off. “The next reward we got from our efforts in the business was improving our financial situation.”

Ron and Georgia Lee admit to being proud of their possessions because they acquired them through their own honest efforts in a business of their own, while building their success upon the success of others.

“Having special time with our children, grandchildren and friends is a blessing from this business,” says Ron. “Being able to travel, golf, or just spend time at our River House are extra benefits you can’t get any-where else.”

Our special time with our two sons and their families, our time with our business friends, and our personal freedom mean so much more, says Georgia Lee.”

“We now have a ‘cause’ in our lives to do everything we can to preserve the free enterprise system and the Quixtar opportunity. We do this for our sons and daughters-in-law, our grandchildren, and others in America who have a dream to better their lives and the courage to work hard for it by serving the needs of others first.”
