From humble beginnings in Spokane, Washington, they built a thriving Amway™ business, but their goal was always bigger than their own personal success.

Ron and Georgia Lee set out to create an education and training system that not only helps individuals achieve their goals, but empowers them to become confident in themselves.

What started small quickly grew into a global community of leaders who have influenced and supported thousands of Independent Business Owners around the world.

A simple philosophy

“Dad would always say, ‘Think of how much we could accomplish if nobody cared who got the credit.’”

Jim Puryear, Founders Crown in the Amway™ business and Ron and Georgia Lee Puryear’s son

A dream is strongest when it helps more than one person.
Leadership grows through humility, consistency, and service.
Education gives people confidence to take the next right step.

This spirit of humility and service shaped the culture of World Wide Group™ from the very beginning. The Puryear legacy continues to guide the organization, rooted in the same values and commitment to helping others grow in their Amway™ businesses.

World Wide Group carries Ron and Georgia Lee’s vision forward with a team at WWG™ headquarters in Spokane, WA, continuing the tradition that started it all.
