Frequently asked questions

Billy Teoh is a Penang-born computer engineer, former Royal Air Force flying officer and software entrepreneur who became one of Southeast Asia's most experienced network marketing leaders. He founded ACES Worldwide in 2004 and has built organisations across several companies over three decades.

He is known for building large organisations without hype: sponsoring 69 people in five weeks in his first company, reaching Emerald with four leadership legs, sponsoring 10,000 people in seven months in a juice company, and growing a Southeast Asian and Chinese organisation of more than 800,000 distributors in his largest venture.

ACES Worldwide is the coaching and team-building system Billy created in 2004. The name comes from four Latin words: Amplitudo, Cupiditas, Exquisitus and Salvio. It guides members across eight dimensions of wellness and pairs each person with coaches, buddies and mentors. Read the full explanation.

He attended Chung Ling High School and the Technical Institute of Penang before moving to England for Concord College and Queen Mary College, University of London, where he majored in computer engineering. He later completed an MBA on a scholarship.

Yes. After his MBA he was accepted as a flying officer in the Royal Air Force, despite not being a British citizen or subject. He served for two years and left because military life did not fit his values as, in his words, a person of peace. He was offered British citizenship and turned it down.

He worked at Hitachi Semiconductors, then founded a software company that delivered turnkey projects for more than 50 companies across 17 industries, including three systems for direct selling companies. That is where he learned how compensation plans work. He then became a selective consultant, helping companies list publicly, expand into China and Asia, and build brand awareness.

He describes himself as having effectively retired at 34, in 1995, when he moved from running a software company to selective consulting work.

He says he does not create leaders; he uncovers them. The first requirement is that a person admits what they lack. He only works with people who are teachable, and he treats his own teaching as guidance rather than the final word.

Face to face where possible, in a classroom setting. His first question is: if money were not a problem, what would your goals and dreams be, for yourself, your family and your community? Writing it down exposes contradictions and gives the person a clear direction.

He compares it to a knife. In a surgeon's hand it saves lives; in an artist's hand it creates; in a robber's hand it hurts. Network marketing is as professional as the person building it, and your group reflects your own ability and professionalism.

ACES is an acronym of four Latin words. Amplitudo means greatness and is represented by the lion. Cupiditas means knowledge and is represented by the open book. Exquisitus means exquisite people around the world and is represented by the globe. Salvio means wellness and is represented by the caduceus.

Billy Teoh created ACES Worldwide in 2004. The system was tested and refined across three different network marketing companies before its current form.

Physical, emotional, spiritual, environmental, social, intellectual, occupational and financial wellness. ACES treats a person who has all eight as living the fullest possible life, which Billy calls ultimate wellness or ultimate happiness.

The company, the product, the plan, the system, the leadership, yourself, and probability. Most network marketers check the first six. Billy adds the seventh: believing that probability is always at work, so you keep going regardless of a single result.

Billy sums it up in four Chinese characters, 胜者为王: the one who is still standing wins. People quit when they let someone else's speed, bonus or group size set their standard. People who last set their own beliefs, their own standard and their own pace.
