GWT brands FERI & FERI MOSH were featured in REGARD Magazine on the cover and inside spreads, worn by Actress, Natasha Henstridge from the TV show, “The Secret Circle”.


Preferred Magazine Special SEPTEMBER, 2010

MISSON ORIENTED As CEO of Global Wealth Trade, Mesgarlou teaches the concept of establishing Like & Trust with his luxury consultants and educates them on the company’s purpose. Global Wealth Trade is a top level designer in luxury jewelery and apparel. What separates GWT from other competing luxury brands is that GWT clients have the ability to become members and receive significant discounts on their purchases. GWT members also are able to become Luxury Consultants and earn retail profits by marketing GWT designer products through their own GWT provided websites.

For this 42 years old entrepreneur, living the good life with all the trimmings, travel and toys is not really what it’s all about. As he so aptly puts it, “It’s more about enjoying the state of being ‘able to’ that limits the stress in life. According to Ramin, “Some people say money is not important or bring happiness I personally think those people are not being entirely honest with themselves, because everything in our lives requires money and the lack of this commodity is the main cause of stress for over 95% of the population. Personally, I don’t believe that having money makes anyone depressed and if someone with money is depressed, it probably stems from other aspects of their lives and not their money. In any case, if you’re going to be depressed or happy then you may as well do it in style and luxury!” On a more serious note “All money does is provide more opportunities and more choices, opportunities to help more people, support more charities, and take on more noble causes.”

THE RIGHT PRODUCT FOR TODAY’S MARKET GWT Corporation manufactures and designs two of the world’s top designer brands in FERI and FERI MOSH. FERI designer lines are the fastest growing luxury brand since 2007 with average growth ratio of 297% per annum. FERI competes directly with ultra luxury brands such as Gucci, LV, Chanel, Fendi, Tiffany, etc. Mesgarlou explains that FERI MOSH 21 K prestige line is in its own exclusive class and cannot be compared to any luxury jewellery brands such as Cartier or Harry Winston due to its exclusive 21 K gold composition. Mesgarlou explains,“ Luxury jewelry is like luxury cars, you have Mercedes, Bentley, and Rolls Royce and then you have a super car Bugatti that doesn’t fall in any category, FERI MOSH is the Bugatti of the luxury jewelery world.”

As a former competitive athlete and a national champion, Ramin aggressively supports many Canadian Olympic athletes and he is a monthly donor to the CAN FUND Association that provides funding for Olympians.

The unprecedented growth of GWT Corp is partly due to the fact that the designer industry remains recession-proof with all the luxury brands experiencing growth. However, the key to this company’s success is its unique marketing platform and business model. To build up budding entrepreneurs’ careers, Ramin Mesgarlou sets up small business-friendly marketing tools for the company’s Luxury Consultants. The 1-2-3-4 Wealth Building System allows Luxury Consultants to use Global Wealth Trade’s sales tracking software to track profits and expand their business globally. Ramin Mesgarlou remains dedicated to mentoring entrepreneurs on Global Wealth Trade’s earning potential.

“As a competitor, I know firsthand how hard it can be for amateur Olympic athletes to stay focused on training and attaining their dreams while trying to manage the financial aspects of life. I remember how hard it was for me to raise $900 for the world championship trip when I was 17 years old. That’s the reason why my company, Global Wealth Trade (GWT) has chosen to support rising Olympic athletes since 2006.” CHAMPION MINDSET FOR ACHIEVING MAXIMIZED BUSINESS SUCCESS

MESGARLOU’S APPROACH TO BUSINESS IS TWO-FOLD

Ramin is often asked how being an athlete helped him in his business ventures.

1- Take the current bench marks and make them better 2- Dominate the market through unique methods of marketing

“My sport was not a team sport, it was one-on-one, and so to be the best and win was always entirely up to me. You either conquered your opponent or he conquered you’. In the sport of wrestling, as in life, there is no room for any blame shifting. I conduct my business and my life in general the same way as a sport. I know that my fate…my success or failure lies solely in my own hands.” Ramin attributes his direct selling business triumphs to that winning attitude and the discipline he learned as an athlete.

Mesgarlou’s “promise” is that his company will be a billion dollar corporation by the year 2015 with clients in over 100 countries.

“Personal fulfillment extends beyond luxury acquisitions” explained Mesgarlou who became a self made millionaire at age 25. Although the direct sales industry was his vehicle to riches, he felt that the industry as a whole suffered from many negative elements that severely hampered its work force progression. In 2005 Ramin wrote an elaborate business plan for a new type of business that he believed could help anyone achieve financial fulfillment and that was the inception of Global wealth Trade Corp (GWT).

“What drives me? Mostly the love I have for my 22 month old son, Cyrus - I call him Cyrus, the Great. He is the pulse of my life. I guess every parent feels the same way about their children, especially the first child. My company is in Toronto and my home is in Ottawa which is a 4 hour drive each way. I spend weekdays at work and weekends at home. As Cyrus begins to communicate more and more, it becomes harder and harder to leave him every week for work. I needed a Promise bigger then myself, and that was my son Cyrus. If I was to follow what I really want to do, the decision would be to stay home with him every day. The Promise of handing him a multi-billion dollar company at age 25 one day and have him featured on the cover of FORBES magazine is part of a much bigger picture than merely satisfying my own self interest of being with him all the time.”

“My company and personal philosophy is to create a Promise list. One key section of my personal promise list is to create 1000 millionaires out of ordinary people. I teach all my members not to set goals because goals are like New Years resolutions that are short lived. Goals are objectives that would be ‘nice’ to achieve. In my company we make Promise lists because unlike Goals most people will work hard to keep their promises.”

Portrait Fall 2010

FERI was featured in Preferred Magazine’s fall issue in a 12 page fashion spread styled with other high end designers, such as Hugo Boss and Versace.

Considered by many to be Canada’s most knowledgeable direct sales guru and go-to guy, beyond Global Wealth Trade’s formation, Ramin Mesgarlou boasts a professional resume filled with success stories. Since 1990, Mesgarlou has become a top earner with four different direct selling companies and built organizations with more than 100,000 distributors spanning over 15 countries. He has also consulted and chartered compensation plans for four industry businesses. By 2003, he had become President of a direct selling company, and in 2005, he created Global Wealth Trade.

“The President of the first direct sales company I ever worked with once said to me “Ramin you are ‘very different.’ “He said that right after I set a new sales record for the company. At that time I wasn’t sure if what he said was a compliment or an insult” says Mesgarlou, smiling. “I realized later that all he was saying was that my mindset was far different than that of a typical 22 years old. Well, this ‘different mind set’ has served me well over the past 20 years.”

19

The business remains recessionproof because jewelry products maintain worth and are always popular.

“Beyond that it’s the continuing passion I have for moving forward. Constantly driving and striving towards a vision once I have created it. If it doesn’t exist…we create it! That’s how I live my life…constantly in forward motion. My good friend Mark Yarnell says, “Life is not about achieving happiness, it is about happily achieving.” I fully agree.
