Tony Kent started out as a fashion photographer in Paris. He credits this experience with teaching him about the benefits of personal responsibility. Today he is using that knowledge to help others achieve personal growth and independence.

Along the way, he has earned many honors including Cell Tech Double Diamond, Relay 2000 Trainer, and Chairman of Cell Tech Solution Projects Team, a program which helps feed malnourished people throughout the world. He is also an author, has created audio and video tapes, and has created numerous tapes and other building tools for helping others become successful in network marketing. In addition, he has created Magical Moments which is a one man stage show using magic as a metaphor. The theme is about creating magic in our lives.

After beginning in network marketing, he continued to reinvest his checks, and began to turn a profit after about six months. He still invests heavily in lead programs for his downline. He runs ad co-ops and is diversifying more and more. Tony says, "I absolutely love mixing warm and cold markets."

Even though he has always been in business for himself, Tony says he likes network marketing because it leaves him free to create his own destiny.

Some of his publications include Walking in Awareness, a book about personal growth and transformation through network marketing; and Paths of Power, a video/audio program containing the material from his all-day seminars. He is also the author of a workbook on reaching your company's first serious level including recommended daily activities and necessary generic tools; a tape, The History and Truths of Network Marketing; as well as a booklet which summarizes his seminars, Paths of Power.

While his may sound like a magical, storybook story, Tony Kent is very real indeed. And he is committed to helping others succeed in his chosen industry.
