LEO Ownership
One clear sign of Dan Anderson’s and Atif Kamran’s long term
aspirations for LEO is the LEO Ownership programme they have created. This is
innovation never seen before in Network Marketing and Direct Selling.
Associates can opt in, if they choose, to participate in projects in the
property development sector. So not just LEO earning but LEO owning.
“We realized that one of the things that entrepreneurs and
sales people are bad at is managing their money,” Dan Anderson explains. “One
of the outcomes of this is that some of our most popular trainings are money
management and finances, but the other was our realization that making money is
not enough. Sales people on commission can make tons of money. But usually they
are pretty bad at holding on to it. And investing it and gaining a return on
investment, well, that usually is a great intention that never quite happens.”
LEO, as a company dedicated to entrepreneurship training,
decided that one of the things it had to do was demonstrate entrepreneurship in
everything it does. Including diversifying its business interests into property
development. And through crowd sourcing and micro funding dynamics the
associates of LEO can participate.
“Since we started in 2012,” Dan says, “we have purchased
property in Minorca Spain, have acquired a high end land bank in Portugal on
which we are developing what can only be described as James Bond villas – these
are so high end on such an epic seafront situation, I don’t even know where to
begin!”.
The Hero project for LEO Tower AG, the German company

storey tower, mixed commercial and residential, to be completed in 2016 in
Dubai UAE. With LEO Tower 2 in process to be constructed in Shanghai
