<strong>LEGACY</strong><br />
OF SUCCESS<br />
I always wanted to be responsible for my own income, but I never found<br />
anything worth doing enough to give up time with my husband and growing<br />
family. I always chose family over a career. <strong>Arbonne</strong> is the business that<br />
gives me both!<br />
I first heard of <strong>Arbonne</strong> in the spring of 2005, when I tried a lotion and<br />
cleansing gel to clear up my son, Preston’s eczema. It did the job in two<br />
weeks that prescription creams had failed to do for a year. Then I went to<br />
my sponsor’s first Presentation, and heard more about the skin care and the<br />
Mercedes-Benz, but still did not dream about selling skin care products!<br />
Then my sponsor, ERVP Misty Trinidad, met with me in February of 2006<br />
and asked me to give her contacts she might share <strong>Arbonne</strong> with. I was<br />
more than happy to help. When she sat across from me and said “I believe<br />
with all my heart” <strong>Arbonne</strong> is the place to be, and I listed all these terrific<br />
people, I thought I might consider this business, I knew <strong>Arbonne</strong> was what I<br />
was looking for. I had never felt like I was at just the right place at the right<br />
time than at that very moment!<br />
Misty says she did not think of prospecting me because it did not seem like I<br />
needed the money. She was right in a way. I am blessed with two wonderful<br />
parents. My dad is a very successful doctor and my mother managed<br />
a reputable stable business for 30 years. They both have built wonderful<br />
legacies of generosity and they keep working hard so they can continue<br />
to give to others.<br />
My husband works in a family business that has built a legacy of success<br />
from hard work and determination, which gave me the blessing to stay home<br />
and raise our two boys and be a full time volunteer around their activities. I<br />
am surrounded by hard working people who make a difference in the world<br />
by the work they do.<br />
What I was looking for was a way to create my own legacy. When I was<br />
PTA President, I became aware of the homeless children in our town and<br />

it became a dream to help give them birthday parties. However, I did not<br />
know where the money would come from.<br />
I also have the passion for competing and riding horses in dressage and<br />
hunter/jumper disciplines. My mother was selling her stable after 30 years,<br />
and it was time for me to support my own hobby and not depend on my<br />
mother’s business to do so.<br />
Most importantly, I was looking for another mountain to climb. I wanted<br />
to make money, not for money’s sake but for the sake of being passionate<br />

success strategy:<br />
Share the story of <strong>Arbonne</strong><br />
with everybody, because it is a gift!<br />
and challenged. I wanted my kids to see their mother could get paid for her<br />
time as well as volunteer her time, I still wanted to design my day around<br />
their needs.<br />
So when Misty met with me that day she explained how, with <strong>Arbonne</strong>, you<br />
do not stock products or deliver products. She told of how <strong>Arbonne</strong> had<br />
just opened in Canada and as getting ready to open to more international<br />
markets. I knew this was the answer to my prayers.<br />
I believe with all my heart there is not any career I could have done out of<br />
college, or another business my husband and I could invest in, that gives me<br />
the flexibility and income potential <strong>Arbonne</strong> does right now.<br />
I jumped in with a feeling of excitement and urgency and have not looked<br />
back since. I learned from horseback riding, if you visualize it and work for<br />
it, you will reach your goal. I simply followed the system that was taught<br />
me, reaching District Manager in two weeks and Regional Vice President<br />
in eight months.<br />
I jumped in to <strong>Arbonne</strong> to help myself, but what I did not expect is just being<br />
involved in <strong>Arbonne</strong> helps others. I love the feeling that when I succeed,<br />
others succeed. The support is real, our wonderful products are real and<br />
the opportunity is real. If you can visualize your dreams, you can achieve<br />
them with <strong>Arbonne</strong>!<br />
To my amazing husband, Scott: Thank you for seeing in me the need to find<br />
that mountain to climb, and for supporting me as I go for the top. I would<br />
not want do this journey, or anything else, without you. Thank you for always<br />
being at base camp so I know where my bearings are!<br />
To my parents, Tony and Linda Landers: Thank you for showing me the gift<br />
of giving. I only hope I am able to bring half of the joy and generosity into<br />
the world that both of you do. District Manager Linda Landers, you have<br />
always been the wind beneath my wings!<br />
To my sponsor, ERVP Misty Trinidad: Your passion, belief and commitment<br />
to my team and me is contagious. It has been so fun to be on this journey<br />
with you! Thank you for facing your fears and going through the fire to help<br />
this team grow.<br />
I would not be here if it was not for all the wonderful people who joined<br />
my team!<br />
To my Canada team: What can I say but thank you for taking a leap of faith?<br />
Area Manager Carmie Flaherty, thank you for saying “yes” and believing in<br />
Mom and I. You have a servant’s heart and I know I will see you at the top!<br />
