SUCCESS STRATEGY:

“Keep your head and heart in the game and always have a 'no matter what' attitude.”

It is funny how one encounter can change your whole life. My decision to become an Arbonne Independent Consultant surprised not only me, but a lot of others, too.

In 2002, my husband Bob had retired from the Army after 21 years to start a new job in Medicine Hat, Alberta. Our son, Jesse, was off to college to start a new career as a Forestry Officer. I decided I would open my own stained glass studio. Life was great! I loved what I was doing.

In September of 2006, I was introduced to Arbonne by a customer, Brandi Rayner. She told me she had started a new home-based business with Arbonne, and asked if I would be interested in trying the anti-aging skin care products. She had supported my business over the years, so I decided to reciprocate and support hers.

I took the NutriMinC® RE9™ set home, not really expecting anything. After using it just once, I was blown away by how it made my skin feel. The results were amazing. Two days later, when my husband noticed that my skin looked better, I was sold on the product.

When Brandi told me about the business end of Arbonne, I replied that I had a great business already. She knew I loved what I was doing, but she also knew how hard I worked. I was working eight to 10 hours a day, sometimes seven days a week, to keep up with commission work. If I wasn't working, I wasn't making any money. I realized that I was trading time for money and missing out on life with my family. Brandi invited me to an opportunity meeting on an upcoming Thursday. I knew nothing about network marketing or Arbonne, but that soon changed.

I went to the meeting and listened with an open mind. I took in all that was said that night. ENVP Jaclyne Hoffner asked a few questions that I had never thought of before then. Do you have a plan B? If you keep doing what you are doing, where will you be in three years? If you could work part-time hours and make full-time money, would you be interested? I went home that night and told Bob I was going to start a home-based business with Arbonne. He just looked at me and asked where I was going to find the time to do it. I told him that I had no idea. I knew it would be hard work, but I have never been afraid of that. In my heart I knew this was my opportunity to give Bob back the life he has given me and Jesse. That is why I do this business. With Arbonne, dream big and grow into it!

I was already committed to my glass business, so I worked my Arbonne business in the nooks and crannies of my day. One year later, I moved my stained glass business home.

I went to every meeting and training session I could, listened to Arbonne Learn & Burn™ recordings several times a week, and once a month I drove for five hours to our Nation meetings. I wanted to learn everything I could about this amazing company.

In February of 2009, I was invited by ENVP Sonya Shields to a retreat in Scottsdale, Arizona. The training was unbelievable. I also had the opportunity to meet the most amazing women, including Neta Irwin and President Rita Davenport. While in Arizona, I had my “aha” moment. I went home with a new outlook on life and my Arbonne business. I decided that it was time for me to get into massive activity and build the business I had always envisioned.

I contacted the amazing girls on my team, called the people I wanted on my team, asked them to join my business, and we all went to work. When you have a “no matter what” attitude, nothing can stand in your way.

I have been blessed with a wonderful team and I am honoured by these amazing people who came into my life.

To my incredible upline, ENVP Sonya Shields, ENVP Becky Young, ERVP Billie Long and ENVP Jaclyne Hoffner: Thank you so much for your friendship and guidance.

To all of our business builders: No matter where you are in your business, go for it and do not let anyone take away your dreams.

To my husband, Bob: What can I say? I couldn't have done this without you. I cannot express the love I have for you in my heart. You have believed in me from day one and have been my biggest supporter.

To CEO Kay Napier and President Rita Davenport: Thank you for all you do. You both set such an example of what this company stands for.
