Real Life Success

René & Mel Turner

Atlanta, Georgia
Former Occupation: Industrial Engineer

“I got into this business for freedom. I wanted the freedom to design my life in every area,” says René Turner, a former industrial engineer. René was a full-time mom when her husband, Mel, first introduced her to Primerica. After he decided to pursue a career in the ministry, René had to make a choice. “I had to decide if I wanted to go back to corporate America or face my fear of talking to people and become a partner in our business,” René recalls. “My fear of being broke outweighed my fear of rejection!”

Thanks to her success with Primerica, René never has to miss a PTA meeting or sporting event. “Now I am more available to my kids: I have been classroom mother and attend all the school parties and daytime programs that most working women have to miss. I have built a business that gives me the freedom to control my schedule and live according to my priorities. Nobody dictates when I work or how much I can make. It’s always been my choice.”
