Welcome to Our Page!

We’re thrilled you’ve made it here! If you’re ready to start building a business from the comfort of your home, you’re in the right place. We appreciate you being here and are excited to share this journey with you.

Could you be here because…

  • You need extra income—let’s be real, those grocery bills respond to inflation with no regard of whether our jobs do or not!
  • You’re feeling unfulfilled in your current situation and are searching for something more meaningful.
  • You’re eager to start a business but don’t want to risk a large upfront investment.
  • You’re determined to get out of debt and take control of your financial future.

During our presentations, we talk about the realities many are facing today:

  1. The Future of Social Security: Will it still be around when you retire? We’re mindful of how a potential depletion could impact your financial security.
  2. Artificial Intelligence: While AI is changing many industries, the Direct Sales/MLM industry remains strong, offering security and opportunities that technology can’t replace.
  3. Longevity vs. Savings: People are outliving their money. We explore how to create a financial cushion that lasts as long as you do.
  4. Retirement Planning: Is $500,000 enough? We delve into strategies for making your retirement savings stretch further.

We’re here to help you make the change you’re looking for and build a secure, fulfilling future.

A Little About Us

We all have a story. We’re grateful to have found one another.

Dexter and Dr. Tonya Joyner-Scott met in 1997, when he became her loan officer at a local bank. At the time, they were married to their college sweethearts, unaware of the losses they were about to experience. Dexter’s marriage ended within the year it started (a broken heart indeed), and Tonya lost her husband to brain cancer. A friend of Dexter’s saw Tonya drive by while he was on the phone with him, and that triggered him to call and check on her, and from that conversation he’s still checking on her today. They have been married for 23 years and are not only partners in life but also in business.

Now, we would like to partner with you. Here’s why.

We believe in the power of transformation—both in life and in business. As leaders who have journeyed through immense personal challenges, we understand that true growth comes from embracing change, overcoming obstacles, and stepping into your fullest potential. Together, we’ve built a life and business that reflect our passion for helping others break free from limitations, dream bigger, and achieve more. By joining our team, you’ll not only gain access to our proven strategies and systems but also to a supportive community that is committed to your success. We’re here to empower you, just as we’ve empowered ourselves and countless others, to upgrade your mindset, seize opportunities, and live a life of purpose and abundance. Let’s create a legacy together—one that’s not just about financial success but about living a life that truly matters.

I’ve had the honor and privilege to work with these two lovely people, Dexter and Dr. Tonya Joyner-Scott, in the Upgraders Academy. I’ve always been more of an introvert, afraid to really speak out, especially in public. I often felt misunderstood, no matter what or how I said things, so I just shut down. However, with the Upgraders’ coaching, I was encouraged to be my authentic self and tap into my God-given abilities to fulfill what He is calling me to do. I realized that I needed to confront my insecurities to find closure and grow.

What we are particularly grateful for is the guide that Dexter and Dr. Tonya have been for us in our journey. A guide is someone with the intellectual, spiritual and emotional resolve in showing the way, simply because they have been there. Who God is in them showed up in such a captivating way, we started paying attention to their leadership, their growth, the way they shared their family and how they interacted with people who didn’t directly benefit them. We eventually featured them in our magazine, highlighting the principles and fruit of their partnership, so that others could not only learn but have hope for cultivating excellence in their own lives.

A few years ago I attended an event in Raleigh NC and I was impressed with this couple who spoke at the convention. After the convention I made my way upfront to where this lady whom I was intrigued with her genuine openness stood. I approached her and immediately knew that she really had a desire to help others upgrade their lives. My husband has been intrigued with the way his health has improved tremendously, and our relationships with Dexter & Tonya have grown.
