How Kristine Turned Vision Into a Lucrative Business Across the Globe

One of the things I love most about building a lucrative business is the caliber of people it brings into my life. Over the years, Shane and I have had the privilege of connecting with inspiring leaders who’ve turned their vision into reality. Kristine Bene is one of those people.

Meeting Kristine in Thailand

I still remember the first time we met. Kristine, her husband Rich, and their kids were guests at our villa in Thailand. Right away, I could see the determination and drive in her, but also the warmth of someone who was shaping her success around family values. That combination is what makes this journey so special.

Since then, our friendship has grown. Kristine and Rich later came to stay with us at our home in Portugal — this time without the kids. We had long dinners, deep conversations, and plenty of time to reflect on how far she had come.

We’ll be reconnecting soon at two of our larger Prosperity Of Life events — one in Australia and another in Vietnam — both of which will bring together our global community for training, connection, and celebration. And next September, we’ll share another incredible experience together in Mykonos as part of our exclusive leadership retreat. That one will be kid-free, and I know it will be filled with equal parts celebration and inspiration.

The Milestone of the 50K Club

This month, Kristine achieved a major milestone — officially joining our 50K Club with $57,000 USD earned in just a 30-day period. It’s a powerful reminder of what’s possible when vision meets consistent action.

And this wasn’t her first breakthrough. In her very first 12 months of business, Kristine generated $175,000 USD — over $200,000 Canadian — all while traveling with Rich and their young kids in tow. They paid off debt, covered the entire trip, and still came home ahead financially. That’s the kind of result that proves this isn’t just a theory — it’s a model that works in real life.

In Kristine’s own words:

“What once looked ‘crazy’ has given my family freedom, stability, and experiences that most people only dream about. The results speak louder than opinions.”

Why a Lucrative Business Matters

This is the beauty of building a lucrative business online. It’s not just about income (though that’s an exciting part). It’s about creating choices, experiences, and the freedom to live life on your own terms.

For Kristine and Rich, this has meant more adventures, more time together as a family, and the confidence to design a lifestyle around what matters most to them.

She put it beautifully:

“I didn’t realize how much my life would change. We raised a family while building the business — three kids in just four years — and it allowed me to be present with my children every day while still creating financial results.”

High Ticket Affiliate Programs as a Pathway

For those exploring new opportunities, high ticket affiliate programs like the one we run at Prosperity Of Life can be a powerful pathway. These programs allow everyday people to create meaningful income without sacrificing their lifestyle. When you pair that with personal development, it becomes more than just a business model — it’s a vehicle for transformation.

Kristine’s story shows exactly that. From a background in physiotherapy, Pilates, and even bartending, she brought her unique perspective and people skills into this space. She proved that you don’t need prior business experience to succeed — you need commitment, mentorship, and a willingness to grow.

Who Said a Mom Can’t Build a Lucrative Business?

Society often tells women they have to choose between family and career. Kristine’s journey challenges that idea. She’s living proof that you can raise a family and build a lucrative business at the same time — you just have to choose the right vehicle.

She welcomed three kids in four years, stayed present for their milestones, traveled the world as a family, and still created a thriving business that continues to grow. This isn’t about doing it all perfectly — it’s about aligning with a business model that gives you flexibility, freedom, and support.

A Ripple Effect of Growth

The ripple effect of Kristine’s journey has been remarkable. Rich gained the confidence to start his own welding business, which has since grown into a multi–six-figure operation. Their children — Lily, Levi, and Livia — have been raised with an understanding of mindset, vision, and the belief that they can create their own reality. And through mentorship, Kristine has helped others build confidence, earn more, and design lives they truly love.

Lessons Learned

Kristine’s story is more than an income milestone — it’s a blueprint for what’s possible. She’s shown that with the right tools, mentorship, and mindset, you can create not only a thriving business but a lifestyle that reflects your deepest values. For anyone asking whether this path is worth it, her journey answers with a resounding yes.

A Friendship and a Future

I couldn’t be prouder to celebrate Kristine’s achievements, not only as a business leader but as a friend. From Thailand to Portugal — and plenty of countries in between — with upcoming events in Australia and Vietnam before we head to Mykonos next year, it’s been such a joy to see her transformation and success unfold. And honestly, this feels like just the beginning of what’s ahead.
