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

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

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

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