As strange as this may sound, before Arbonne, I really liked my life. I have been happily married for 13 years, have three extremely happy and healthy children, and was working my way up the corporate ladder. As a hobby, I was previously involved with another network marketing company that focused on seasonal items.
When the business I was involved with closed their doors, my sponsor shared with me a sample from another business — Arbonne’s NutriMinC® RE9® line. I was excited to try the product, just not in the least bit interested by the thought of selling skin care or cosmetics. Yet with Arbonne, trying is believing, and by the third day of using RE9, I was completely in love with the product.
I figured that everyone else would love this product too. My friend Amber came on board as my first business builder; not really by choice but by my persistence. Beyond Amber’s commitment, I could not get anyone to host a Presentation for me. No one initially was interested in trying the product, let alone wanted to hear about the Opportunity. All the Presentations Amber and I put together, well, let’s just say we were our own best costumers. I certainly did not come on with a team of consumers or business builders. I was, however, persistent in talking with anyone and everyone who would listen, and within six months of primarily sharing the products my customer base had grown exponentionally. At this point I really had to do some soul searching, as I was offered a promotion at work and my Arbonne business was really starting to take shape. I could not commit only half of myself to both jobs anymore. I decided to give Arbonne my all, and I have not regretted that decision for a single moment.
My Arbonne business has been built on passion. My passion for the products led to my passion for this company and ultimately to my passion for the Arbonne Opportunity. With Arbonne, I see the possibility of substantial personal growth, and the ability to help people truly change their lives for the better and ultimately to live each day with the security of becoming financially free. Today with Arbonne in my life, I can whole-heartedly tell you, I don’t just really like my life — I love my life!
Have you ever found yourself simply going through the motions, knowing in your heart that where you are at is not the place you are supposed to be? Do you ever look at yourself and not recognize the person looking back; thinking that the body you are looking at cannot possibly be yours; that the sharpness in your tone when you speak is not the voice you remember as your own? I believe that until you have that urge in the pit of your stomach and that ache in your heart for something better, you will not realize that change is possible, and that “better” can be a reality. Whether it is personal or spiritual growth, financial or time restraints, or you just simply want to be a better person, you have “it” within yourself to make the change. Strength and determination comes from within — within our own being is the core of who we are, and ultimately what defines us. Please know that someone, somewhere out there believes in you!
