Xango Leader Bob Schmidt Dies In Tragic Accident

Bob Schmidt, a former Amway Double Diamond, former top earner in New Vision and current leader in Xango died Monday from an apparent drowning.

I did not know Bob personally, but from what I hear, he was a true leader and an inspiration to thousands.

I had a reader send me an email that included some thoughts about Mr. Schmidt.  Here is a paragraph that stood out to me:

He loved those he took under his wing, he loved this industry.  Bob was one of those rare individuals who didn't need to jump on a stage under the spotlight to validate himself, instead he stood back and let those he taught take the limelight, he was enormously proud of the honest achievements of others.  Bob was forever the student, observing, learning, honing his skills, and he was a voracious reader, a book always nearby waiting for him to ferret out the good lessons contained therein.  He was the hardest teacher.  He was the best teacher.  He was the teacher that will always be remembered with love, admiration and respect.

Bob Schmidt was 63 years old.

I just want to say it’s a very sad day for Xango Members that knew bob Schmidt and those they didn’t know but maybe got some training from him. He was a great leader in xango do to a tragic accident his not with us. He had just finish is PowerPoint Presentation for the Big Event in Xango at Orlando where he was going to give a presentation on Learn To Earn this Sunday coming.

Though I didn’t know him personally but I got some really good training from him. Just say bob will be missed.
Here is something the number distributor Sherman and Sharon Unkefer wrote about him in short:

This is a tragic loss to all of the network marketing community, this man loved our industry. A site has been created in his honor. If Bob Schmidt had an impact on your life whether you knew him or just learned from his audio cd's go to the site and put your name on this list.

Why great motivators are leaving the world so soon? We need them very much. May god bless his soul.

Many of us in the network marketing family always look to leaders who walk the talk and talk the walk. When I was in Amway/Quixtar I recall hearing this man's audio training tapes. Never having had the opportunity to meet him personally, I actually came to this webpage because of a Xango windshield ad. I must say it is very strange to see his name and hear his voice, then google up more info about his whereabouts to see that he died in the Spring of 2008.

Wellness and travel seem to go together because in order to enjoy life and travel one MUST be well as possible. Success is a choice, and Bob was one of the best and most sincere persons in an industry that creates time and personal financial freedom. God bless Bob's family,
