TIME really flies so quickly. Paul Victor Ireton was just an ordinary teenager when I met him with his younger bother, Nathan. Fast forward to 12 years later, Paul and his wife Miriam invited me to a five-day seminar and convention hosted by the World Finance Group (WFG) in Las Vegas. The evening was jam-packed and I witnessed how the couple turned their life around and became successful entrepreneurs. Paul is now the CEO of his company and living a very comfortable life.
Paul was chosen as one of the speakers along with the honorable 66th United State Secretary of State, Condoleezza Rice. It was held at the MGM grand arena with a full house of 25,000 thousand attendees and guests. He shared his story, experience, strength and hope, with convictions and honesty. This story proves that each of us has a purpose in life and things happen for a reason. You need to give it your all, do not give up on your dreams, and believe in yourself and most all in God. I was given an opportunity to be part of this amazing couple’s career in the early stages of their life. The story of the young lovely couple Paul and Miriam Ireton.
The inspiring story started in 1997, when Paul first came to the US. Back then, he already had the burning desire to get ahead, being in a situation where they lived in a one-bedroom apartment, with his single mom and siblings. Paul was always looking for ways to help out his mom. He used to work at Papa John’s Pizza as a delivery guy, while selling TFC cable and attending Mt. San Antonio for college.
“I wasn’t making enough! so one day, I picked up a penny saver and saw an ad for a $10 per hour marketing job for a real estate company,” Paul shared.
He started there, got involved in real estate from 2000-2005. He then came across a company in the financial service business, where he also met beauty queen (Mutya ng Pilipinas) and top model, Miriam Chui.
“We were both recommended to work for this company!” Paul said. mMiriam was introduced to the business with Paul. He trained her and that’s how they eventually they fell in love. They got married six months later. I am honored to be one of their wedding sponsors.
They had a baby the following year. Their baby suffered complications after the birth, which were not covered by their health insurance. It resulted to a credit card debt of more than 40K, not to mention the multiple car and a couple of home payments. The couple looked good on the outside but were dying in the inside. They were hungry for answers to get out of that challenging situation. Paul and Miriam grew tired of being broke.
With God’s grace, they came across a business that thought them how to make and save more money. One thing they found out is that they were not in control of money. Money was controlling them from their fears—worrying and stressing over what bill to pay first.
“I remembered one time when I filled up my car with gas and I received a phone call from my wife telling me that because I filled up my car with gas, she can’t buy diapers and milk for my son,” Paul shared. “It is heartbreaking. But I know that this part of life makes us realize that you are in control of your own destiny, to believe and trust the Lord.”
Now the couple has a life of peace and harmony. Paul said his family will never have to worry about money ever again. Now they are both very successful and continue to save and make money. They have built a business that serves families: to give them financial strategy and education for their household, have more meaningful conversations with there loved ones, and because money is not issue. Money is only an issue when you don’t have any. They have a mission driven to help families get ahead financially.
“All the blessings come when your heart is in the right place. “A man or woman is lazy till something catches their heart,” Paul said.
The couple is inspired by helping individuals like me, who is in need of financial knowledge and support securing my future. Paul and Miriam are so blessed to have beautiful kids, Nicholas, Sebastian, Troy and the princess of the family, baby Sharlene.
To Paul and Miriam, I wish you all the best and may God bless you and your family.
