“Success is a peace of mind as a direct result of self-satisfaction knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.”
I was introduced to Arbonne by my wife, ENVP Karyl Molchan, who attended a Presentation given by our friend, ENVP Deanna Osborn at the home of now ENVP, Dana Korn. She came home excited about the information she learned. We have both always been into natural foods and health.
My mother and father worked very hard to give my siblings and me fruits and vegetables grown in our garden, and meat raised on our land in Indiana. My parents were into organic foods way before it was popular. It was something I never fully appreciated until later in life.
Karyl became interested in natural and whole foods from a different perspective after seeing loved ones experience health problems, partially due to diet and lifestyle. So, when she began talking about this company, whose whole emphasis was on pure, safe and beneficial products, I knew it would somehow play a part in our life. I had no idea though, that it would be to the extent it currently is.
The first Arbonne Presentation Karyl attended was in November of 2002 and she decided to start her Arbonne business in February of 2003. She promoted to NVP 20 months later. One day she said, “You know as much about the business and the products as anyone else. You should consider doing this.”
Then, I signed up my brother, who is now a walking testimony of the NutriMenC® RE9 system, though I did not do a whole lot with the opportunity I had. After all, I was working full time and Karyl was building many strong teams with her business. I had thought this was a business for women, even though I have used 42 different Arbonne products.
Soon after, I started to see a few guys receiving recognition for their work in Arbonne. Why not me? I thought. Arbonne had everything I wanted: Residual income, great benefits and bonuses, and most importantly, flexibility in work hours.
This opportunity supports our goals and priorities in life — mainly, our family relationships. Karyl and I have been married for 15 years. We have four children ranging in ages from 5 to 12. We have always wished for more time with them. We wanted to build into their lives and financially be able to travel together more as a family.
At the start of our Arbonne journey, our goal was to pay for our children’s private school tuition. We had no idea we would be where we are today. I left my corporate job of 11 years in December of 2004 when we realized our Arbonne business would grow exponentially if we had more time to devote to it.
When we started, I never imagined receiving two incomes and having two white Mercedes-Benzes in our driveway! We are now able to travel more frequently and spend more time together as a family. I make breakfast for my children every morning and take them to school. I am able to schedule my time so when they come home from school, I am available for them. What more could a dad want?
I believe that to whom much is given, much is expected. We realize this opportunity is much bigger than just us. We are excited that we now have a greater potential to impact our world. We have been able to help organizations and individuals we were not able to help before. Giving to others brings a unique joy that is hard to find anywhere else.
For guys who are considering starting an Arbonne business, consider that besides the wonderful products, your rewards may include the potential for financial freedom, a flexible work schedule or the joy of helping others achieve the same rewards. It is a viable business for men and I encourage you to look into it in depth.
Of course, I need to thank our amazing Executive Team, Founder Petter Mørck, President Rita Davenport, Executive Vice President Stian Mørck, Sr. VP Product Development & Marketing, Candace Keefe and Chairman and CEO Bob Henry, for their vision and hard work that make this opportunity available to all of us. I thank them most of all for their integrity in business. I still cannot believe I have the lifestyle I am currently enjoying. Thanks.
The real reason I am an RVP is due to some key individuals. AM Lori McDonough and her team of AM Kim Ranger, DM Kim Rose, DM Jane Atkinson, AM Lisa Kuric, AM Melissa Redman, DM Vincencia Willamowski and DM Allison Scott. Lori and her husband, Mark are lifelong friends. Look for her Eye on Arbonne story coming up!
My family is also involved in Arbonne. To my brother, Kevin and sister-in-law, Evonne Molchan; my niece, Andria and husband, Seth Chadwick; brother, Dan Molchan and sister, AM Kim McMillan: You all have “Arbonne fever.” It is great being involved with you all in this venture.
AMs Jim and Jenny McVeigh, have been unbelievable. They started their business in December and as of March (four months later), are in first step qualification for RVP. Their team includes, AMs, Jackie Amos, Alicia Wollmering, Lisa Borden; and DMs, Dawn Alexander, Lori Burns, Susan Schaeuble, Laura Mann, Sally Newlove, Amy Newlove, Jennifer Bracken, Gayle Walterbach, Joy Nichols, Carol Cheshire and Shareen Avery.
This would have been much more difficult without Karyl’s vision and determination. Her perseverance, drive and business savvy, is matched by few. She has a knack for breaking down the numbers and finding a way when there seems to be no way. “No” is not in her vocabulary except to dispel the negative. I knew she was an amazing woman before Arbonne, but I have seen qualities and talents in her I never knew existed. I am truly blessed to have her as my wife, friend and upline.
And finally, I give thanks to God for all I have: My family, my life and my business.
