SUCCESS STRATEGY:

“Dare to be extraordinary and anything is possible.”

I have never believed in a Plan B. For over 30 years, I have enjoyed a successful career as an actress. Because my vocation was at times so difficult, if I had a Plan B, I might have taken it. I believed that if I wanted to be successful, I couldn't have anything to fall back on. Crazy, I know. It was not until my son Jack was born that I began to realize a Plan B might not be such a bad thing. I was determined to spend as much time as humanly possible with my little boy and vowed not to miss a single miraculous moment ... unless I didn't have a choice. Well, that meant I needed to be able to make choices. How I earned a living was standing in the way of that. I didn't want to give up my career — not by any means. But I wanted my career choices to be based on how they would affect my family and not on the need to pay a mortgage.

When my friend and colleague, Amy Sky, first came to me with Arbonne, I told her quite definitively that it was not for me. I could not see myself ever doing anything like this. What I didn't say was that I thought she had lost her marbles and must have fallen into financial ruin and needed a job. I couldn't have been more wrong. Reluctantly, I agreed to try the Arbonne products. Much to my surprise, I fell in love with them immediately. Having always had very dry, sensitive skin, it never occurred to me that the product I used could actually be the culprit. Suddenly, my skin looked glowing and hydrated. I purchased the products from Amy immediately, but the business opportunity ... please.

It was not until my wonderful husband pointed out to me that I was absolutely miserable spending so much time away from Jack, that I thought about the opportunity. He also pointed out that not only was Amy a brilliant business-woman, but she also lived in a bigger house than we did, and the kicker: he reminded me, as he so often has, that he believed me to be an extraordinary person who should always live an extraordinary life and never let fear stand in the way of that. Perhaps Arbonne was going to be the vehicle to help me do that.

I decided to jump in and not look back. Blinders on, I followed the recipe and before I knew it, my initial goals of a little extra time and money had been met. What my incredible upline told me would happen, was indeed happening! And it was happening on a much bigger scale than I had imagined. I was spending precious time with my family and paying the bills, to boot. What I wasn't ready for and never even considered was how much fun it would be. I love the people, the company and the person I am becoming as a result of what I am being taught to do. I have become a savvy businesswoman who is in control of her life. I am present in my son's life and am a happy, confident wife and partner. I have an unbelievable team who are not merely colleagues, but cherished friends and family. We are locking arms and going all the way to the top.

The scariest thing for me is how close I came to saying no to Arbonne. I will be forever proud that I had the courage to say yes.

To RVP Amy Sky: I will thank you every day for the rest of my life for the gift you gave my family and me.

To ENVP Sue Cassidy: Thank you for being the tremendous leader you are and for paving the road to the top for all of us to follow.

To ERVP Linda Huntington: Thanks for all the calls and pep talks and for keeping my eye on the prize.

To AMs, Joanne Vizzini Lobo, Lital Mintz Snir, Tabatha DeBruyn and Alexandra Trimble: Thank you to you and your brilliant teams. I could never have done this without you. I am inspired daily by your commitment to your teams and to this business. You are all fantastic women who exemplify what it means to be resilient and dedicated.

To my DMs, Kate Brooks, Janet Green, Jocelyn Bell, Glenda Fraser, Rossella Sirianni and Kathryn Romanow, and the rest of my phenomenal team, Joanne Bernier, Zena Laroche and Julie McFadden: Keep up the fantastic work. I owe you all a great debt of gratitude for trusting me and joining the team. I will see you at the top!

To my Arbonne sisters, RVP Gillian Weinrib and ERVP Suzanne Van Parys: You exemplify the culture of this company by sharing and showing the way to all of those who cross your path. You have helped me and supported my team and we wouldn't be here without you.

To my parents and my sister, Julie: Thank you for being my best customers and filling your cupboards with Arbonne. And thank you, Julie, for finally joining my team after a year and a half of asking!

And finally, to Paul and Jack: You are the reason I began this journey and the reason I continue to thrive and love every moment. I cannot imagine a more supportive and nurturing environment than the one I get to live in. My five-year-old son tells everyone, “You should be on my mommy's team. For real.”

To CEO Kay Napier, President Rita Davenport, John, Jackie, Marcia and everyone else at the Arbonne Home Office who continues to support and love all over us: I am thrilled beyond words to be part of this incredible company!
