Our next inductee into the Direct Selling Hall of Fame is shown on the Myers-Briggs personality test to identify as a Visionary. His colleagues nickname him 'The Professor' for his in-depth knowledge of the direct selling profession. Ørjan Sæle is a successful speaker, owner of several companies and is the author of several books.

His original desire for creating wealth stems from a childhood dream of never having to worry about how to pay the bills, something his parents always faced.

”My parents’ financial struggle motivated me to take a journey of personal growth and business development. Now, 20 years later, my entrepreneurial spirit is leading me on a journey to help others create wealth. I will never forget the challenges of my formative years. As a fourth-grader in school I could not spell my own name. Back then, that was called stupid but today we call it dyslexic.”

Ørjan believes that true success is not easily attained. It is hard work. ”You make lots of mistakes and get many setbacks during the continuous path of personal struggle to improve. Sometimes you are scared and question yourself, "Will it be worth the effort?” His goal is to help aspiring entrepreneurs stay on course, because he knows when you reach a goal, you realize that it’s definitely worth the effort.

Ørjan Sæle has over 20 years of experience in the field of direct selling and has built one of the largest organizations in the Nordic region of Europe together with his wife Hilde. He believes innovation is the key to creating a big company and he focuses his time on research and study as he continues to grow the business. Ørjan is known for being visionary, and his passion is to develop new successful entrepreneurs.

When not working, he loves to spend time with Hilde and their much beloved children Gabriel and Sarah. He strongly believes in generosity so together with Hilde he supports many charitable projects. First and foremost his heart is for helping children out of poverty and into getting an education. Ørjan and Hilde are “travel-oholics” and when they´re not “on the road” or visiting some of the wonders of the world, they are enjoying living in their home located on the outskirts of Oslo, Norway.
