IT’S<br />
FOR YOU<br />
I have always known what I wanted in life. I have envisioned every<br />
important part of my life: a great family and a life of possibilities. I knew<br />
when I grew up I wanted to make this world a better place and help<br />
others succeed!<br />
At 14 years old, my sheltered life collapsed. My father died unexpectedly<br />
and I realized that we can lose our dreams in a split second. Life<br />
without my dad would never be the same, but our family had to go on.<br />
When I was 17 years old, my mom, my brother and I moved from Poland<br />
to Canada. It was a new life with new possibilities. It was a difficult<br />
adjustment, but my dreams were becoming a reality.<br />
I set out to help others, become a wife, a mother and a successful<br />
businesswoman, and enjoy life with the people I love while giving<br />
back to the world. Suddenly, I was diagnosed with ulcerate colitis. This<br />
disease almost took my life. Being very sick changes your life forever,<br />
but thank God for one amazing surgeon who saved my life and three<br />
years later I am alive. I met the man I was meant to share my life with,<br />
but unfortunately the damage of my illness made it impossible for me to<br />
have children. Through my determination and faith, on March 3, 2006<br />
I got a call that I was going to be a mother. It was the best birthday<br />
present ever. On October 24, 2006 I gave birth to my miracle baby<br />
boy, Maksymilian. Looking at this little angel, I saw what faith in your life<br />
can do. Finally, after so many challenges in my early life, all my dreams<br />
were coming true. I had become a wife and a mother; however, there<br />
was still something more for me to accomplish. In January of 2009, an<br />
opportunity with <strong>Arbonne</strong> came my way when I hosted a Presentation. It<br />
sounded too good to be true, but I believed the rest of my dreams would<br />

come true if I committed, worked hard, booked my activity and did my<br />
three “asks” a day. It was a simple plan that required my full attention.<br />
I started to believe again that I would be able to find my calling in life,<br />
find that business that would allow me to be independent and also help<br />
others. The businesswoman I knew was inside of me started to develop.<br />
I am enjoying my life and all the benefits that come with being part of<br />
<strong>Arbonne</strong>. It is the best company, with the best pure, safe and beneficial<br />
products and an exquisite team of people.<br />

Have a vision, commit,<br />
believe with passion,<br />
and go after your dreams<br />
— success is waiting for you!<br />
One year later, I am in a position I never imagined I would reach in such<br />
a short amount of time. It has definitely been a busy year for our team<br />
and for me personally, but it was worth every sacrifice we had to make.<br />
Being a Regional Vice President still feels surreal. I started this business,<br />
not because I had to, but because of my passion for the products, my<br />
love for people and my dream of helping others. My motto is, “It’s for<br />
you.” This is what drives me and motivates me every day. <strong>Arbonne</strong> is<br />
definitely for you and me, and everybody who wants the best in life.<br />
I want to say thank you to my husband, Robert. It has been a challenging<br />
year for us. You had a hard time seeing <strong>Arbonne</strong> as a good fit for<br />
our family, but I am so glad you do now. It’s been the best journey of<br />
growth and development, and I am so glad you can clearly see what<br />
<strong>Arbonne</strong> has provided us. <strong>Arbonne</strong> is my dream job, my passion, my<br />
means to being the best I can be for our family and for others! Thank<br />
you for all that you do for us.<br />
“It’s for you,” Maksymilian! You are my Why and my angel, and I’m so<br />
blessed to have you. Mama loves you!<br />
To my mom, Maria: You have been my biggest supporter since day<br />
one, and you told me every day that I have what it takes to go to<br />
the top. I could not have done this without your help. To my brother,<br />
Michal: Looking at you, I see our father, and you remind me to follow in<br />
his footsteps. His business mind, work ethic and love for life has been<br />
passed on to us. I know Tata (Dad) is so happy and proud of both of us.<br />

To John Darraugh: Thank you for your support and dedication and for<br />
everything you do to see us succeed.<br />
To President Rita Davenport and everyone at the U.S. Home Office: You<br />
are everything <strong>Arbonne</strong> stands for — a pure soul, a safety net for the<br />
Consultants and a benefit to all of us who follow your great leadership.<br />
You show us every day that <strong>Arbonne</strong> is a gift to share with others.<br />
To my friends, Clients and Preferred Clients: Without you, I wouldn’t be<br />
where I am today. Thank you!<br />
Finally, a big thank you to our team, the Monika Szpigiel Region — an<br />
amazing group of people with the biggest hearts and commitment to our<br />
business. You are exceptional and I am so blessed to be part of your life.<br />
We do what we love to do: promote the best products and opportunity<br />
with passion. At the same time, we are helping others change their lives<br />
and start dreaming again. Remember, it’s for you.<br />
