A lifelong Macau resident, Pui-kuong tried different jobs after graduating from high school, finally opting to become a fireman. “There weren’t many choices in Macau at that time and you could either be a worker or a civil servant. I thought the fireman’s job would give me a comparatively more stable income,” says Pui-kuong.

A lifelong Macau resident, Pui-kuong tried different jobs after graduating from high school, finally opting to become a fireman. “There weren’t many choices in Macau at that time and you could either be a worker or a civil servant. I thought the fireman’s job would give me a comparatively more stable income,” says Pui-kuong.


Back in Macau’s colonial days, Chinese civil servants stood little chance of being promoted to senior positions. After nine years of working as a fireman, Pui-kuong hadn’t achieved much, and to find a way out he started a motor company with his friends. However, the business didn’t last long because of their lack of business experience.


Pui-kuong once invested in stocks and did actually make some money – until the stock market crash of 1987 led to huge losses. The repeated failures began to evaporate his confidence.


Pui-kuong still sought out new opportunities, however, it was his cousin who introduced him to the Amway business opportunity. The Macau Merchandising Centre hadn’t yet opened so Pui-kuong had to travel to Hong Kong once to twice a week to attend Amway meetings.


“In Amway I witnessed so many success stories, and saw that many of the successful leaders were not especially well educated. That really inspired me,” says Pui-kuong. After three months of observation he had full confidence in Amway and soon began to actively develop his business.


Pui-kuong’s wife, Joanna, fully supported her husband, and indeed saw it as an exceptional opportunity for both of them. “The Amway business fits our characters perfectly,” says Joanna. “We like to help people and Amway allows us to help others by boosting their health, beauty and confidence. We’ve had so much fun building up the Amway business!”

Having a common goal to work for also helped to improve the couple’s relationship. “Pui-kuong is mainly responsible for the sales and sponsoring while I do the schedule planning and contacting,” says Joanna, who even quit her nursing job in September last year to give full-time support to her husband.


Something to be proud of

Pui-kuong eventually realised his full potential through Amway and made a number of achievements in Macau.

For example, before the opening of the Macau Merchandising Centre, Distributors had to bring products from Hong Kong and deliver to downlines and customers in Macau. “To be more efficient, several Distributors and I began using a computer to keep track of our stocks which meant we could spend more time on sales and sponsoring,” he recalls.

The years of hard work paid off and Pui-kuong became Macau’s first Diamond Distributor before recently progressing to Macau’s first Executive Diamond. He says he is determined to prove the huge market potential of Macau.

Continuous learning

Pui-kuong suffered from poor health when he was young. After joining Amway he attended many nutrition workshops and actively developed his health knowledge. Now, not only has his own health improved, but he is also an acknowledged nutrition expert who is frequently invited to give talks in China.

“I always try to put nutrition knowledge into simple ideas so that more people can understand and learn about nutrition,” he says.

A beautiful life

When Pui-kuong speaks on stage, he immediately changes from a quiet unassuming person into a talented, captivating speaker who charms audiences with his eloquence. Pui-kuong says he acquired his skills through continuous practice and gradually building his confidence.

Pui-kuong and Joanna both agree that Amway gives them a lifestyle with plenty of freedom. Their eldest son is now studying abroad and the whole family regularly takes trips overseas. They are fully satisfied with what they now have.

“With free time and financial freedom now, so we’ve actually reached our goal,” says Pui-kuong. “Amway gives us flexibility in life that other jobs can’t offer. Now we plan to keep on strengthening our network to enable us to enjoy a totally free life and give more time to the community.”

Despite all their outstanding achievements, the couple still has high expectations and hopes for more breakthroughs. “We’re aiming at inspiring our downlines to help them identify Amway’s core values,” says Pui-kuong. “We really appreciate the backing the company has given, which has allowed us to concentrate on sales and training.”

Amway is a place where Pui-kuong and Joanna were able to realise their true potential, and there’s no doubt they will continue to shine and assert their considerable strengths in years to come.


Cheong Pui-kuong underwent dramatic changes in his life when he switched from working as a fireman to becoming an Amway Distributor. In Amway he found ample opportunities to learn, grow and establish a business of his own.

Supported by the workable Amway business plan – and motivated by a passion to develop his own business – Pui-kuong succeeded in making his dreams come true in Amway, gaining the respect of others in the process.
