Their Story

Wanting More

Scott Harimoto went to college and received a bachelor’s degree in Information and Computer Science because he thought that would create the success he wanted. While working for a Fortune 500 company, looking out his big picture window overlooking Honolulu, Scott realized he wanted more; he wanted to own his own business.

“I got scared looking around the office realizing that no one, including my bosses, had a lifestyle that I wanted.” Scott looked at several business ideas and franchises before ending up at a Brad Wolgamott business meeting. In order to focus his efforts on building his business, Scott put aside three basketball leagues, two tennis leagues, and a lot of fishing and spear fishing. “I figured that if one keeps doing what he has been doing, he will keep having what he already has. I wanted more, so I accepted the fact that I needed to change what I did with my spare time,” says Scott. So he did. Scott retired from his professional job at twenty-eight years old, which was only sixteen months after beginning his independent business.

Not Letting the Years Pass By

“Some people say that you have to like what you do; they are not sure if this business is “for them.” I would do anything honest and legal to have the opportunity to really change my life. I believe that people most often lack a dream for a better life and a mentor in their life, and that is why they fill their time with unproductive, fun things and let the years pass by. I did not have any materialistic goals when I got in the business; I had just two main goals. Number one on my list was to have the most loving wife in the world, and number two was to retire by age thirty from my day-to-day job. I got both,” says Scott with a big smile.

Dreams Take Root

Cris earned her degree in psychology and worked at a major hotel chain in Hawaii. Much of her work time was spent planning vacations for other people. She decided that she wanted to plan her own exotic trips around the world. Cris was invited to one of Scott’s business meetings, where they met each other for the first time. “She was beautiful and ambitious,” says Scott, and the rest is history.

Having the Same Goals Cris was able to quit her job right after their wedding and today Scott and Cris have four wonderful boys whom they are able to be with full-time. “Life is really exciting when you and your husband have the same goals in life,” says Cris.

Presence vs. Presents

Scott and Cris enjoy being full-time parents. They also enjoy spending time with their own parents, taking them on trips and giving them nice cars, which they would not have otherwise had. Scott says with no hesitation, “The people who benefit the most from us building this business are our kids. Because of this opportunity, we are able to give our kids our daily presence instead of just presents.”

Job-less, in a Good Way

“I haven’t had a regular nine-to-five job for many years because of this great business and the mentorship of my upline,” says Scott. “I kept wondering when would be my last day working at my last job. When a vacation request I submitted was turned down, I knew that was the day.”

Making Memories

“We have had an awesome honeymoon ever since we got married and are living a life of no regrets.” They now have the time and money to enjoy all the activities they temporarily put on the back burner while building their business, as well as hunting, golfing, snowboarding, and traveling around the world with friends and family. Scott and Cris have a goal to golf in every state and also to go fishing in every state. Life to them is about making memories and having great experiences. Once you own your own life, everything becomes an option.

The Harimotos were excited about designing and building their beautiful home. Scott believes that Cris is such a great wife and mom that she deserves to live in the house of her dreams. “I just want to do a better and better job of spoiling her,” says Scott. “God has blessed us with so much and we look forward to using our home in some small way to serve our business family, especially the other Diamonds who have helped us through the years.”

“Building a house is a dream come true but this is certainly not our dream house,” says Scott, who is already thinking about their next home on the water. They want to encourage everyone to invest some of their spare time now, to be able to have these same options for the future.

Total Control of Time & Money

This business has laid the foundation for Scott and Cris to have an incredible lifestyle by having total control of time and money. They have learned that they are happiest when they are accomplishing something important to them.

Scott says each person is in one of four stages in their life—survival, stability, success, and significance. By choosing to live their lives as they have and being an example to many others, they have found their shot at significance. They thank their personal mentors for that and believe that just as every great athlete has a coach, everyone in World Wide Dream Builders has a coach available to them. For them, one of the biggest keys to prosperity has been to admit to themselves that others knew something they didn’t.

When they were offered a hand up, they grabbed on and created a legacy that will outlive them. A legacy of significance has begun!
