A LIFE-CHANGING<br />

OPPORTUNITY<br />

Independent Consultant, National Vice President<br />

J. Ward Nation; Poteau, OK<br />

What an incredible journey the past year-and-a-half has been! I started<br />

<strong>Arbonne</strong> in December 2003 and from day one I knew what a gift <strong>Arbonne</strong><br />

was. Growing up, I thought my many dreams and aspirations could only be<br />

fulfilled with a college degree and a great career. Shortly after graduating<br />

from high school, I enrolled in college with the hopes of finding a great<br />

career. Little did I know, the best career on the planet for me was still several<br />

years down the road.<br />

After graduating college in 1999, I taught high school for a while until I<br />

decided to pursue (what I thought to be) my dream career as a medical sales<br />

representative. After a great deal of time and effort, I obtained employment<br />

in this field. I was so excited; my whole life was ahead of me. I was happy<br />

to begin my new career at 27 with a great salary and good benefits.<br />

Though it was not long before I felt there had to be more to life than this,<br />

and I began to think I had settled. My days ran together; I felt like a hamster<br />

on a wheel — spinning and spinning, with no way out.<br />

Something bigger than I could ever have imagined was about to happen! If<br />

you knew what I now know about <strong>Arbonne</strong>, nothing could stop you from<br />

saying an emphatic “yes” to this opportunity! I get a little weak in the knees<br />

thinking about how easily this opportunity could have slipped through my<br />

hands if my day had played out the least bit differently.<br />

One evening, I was halfway home from work when I realized I had to go<br />

back to the office. At the office, I ran into an <strong>Arbonne</strong> Consultant visiting a<br />

co-worker of mine. Thankfully she shared the business with me, because on<br />

the outside, my life looked fine. But secretly inside, there was a giant waiting<br />

to be released.<br />

I am convinced everyone has a purpose in life. Ask yourself, “Do I know<br />

what my purpose is” It is awesome to be able to give someone the gift of<br />

<strong>Arbonne</strong>, an opportunity for potential financial and time freedom that could<br />

change their family’s life forever. A precious gift was generously given to me<br />

— a gift that I do not ever want to stop giving.<br />

I quickly caught the vision and jumped in with both feet, but occasionally<br />

there were times of doubt and discouragement. Was it really<br />

possible for someone like me to achieve all that success When<br />

doubt tries to creep in, have faith you deserve this opportunity, listen<br />

to your upline, read self-development books, stay in activity and<br />

dream really big. Remember, when someone says, “no,” they are<br />

really saying, “I don’t know enough about this opportunity yet.” The<br />

future belongs to those with strength to follow their dreams.<br />

worthwhile things do not come easily. When you think the road is getting<br />

too tough, remember, short-term sacrifices for long-term gain.<br />

The dream you do not fight for can haunt you for the rest of your life.<br />

Thank You, God. I could just as easily have said no and my life would<br />

have taken a completely different turn. All of my decisions, experiences<br />

and shortcomings have carefully prepared me for this journey.<br />

Thank You for the many blessings.<br />

This business is not for everyone, but it is the right choice for many<br />

people. I highly recommend it to anyone who is goal oriented, highly<br />

motivated and likes to dream big. I also encourage those interested<br />

in their time freedom, income-earning potential and the chance to<br />

participate in the Mercedes-Benz Cash Bonus Program to handle this<br />

opportunity with care. If only you knew what I did, you would do<br />

everything in your power to get on board immediately! <strong>Arbonne</strong> is the<br />

opportunity you have been waiting for, and the time is now! Please<br />

do not make a decision you will live to regret because you may never<br />

forgive yourself.<br />

We are all where we are in life today because of the many decisions<br />

we make. You just have to decide you can do this business, take the<br />

daily necessary steps, and your life will be changed forever, too.<br />

People often ask about my journey and I am honest with them — this<br />

business is hard, but not impossible. My dad taught me that most<br />

To my husband, Chris: Thanks for your unwavering support. There is<br />

no question — I could not have done all of this without you. Thanks<br />

for having faith in my team and me; now you are retired and able to<br />

do the things you enjoy most. I look for<strong>ward</strong> to our many years<br />

together. I love you.<br />

To my parents: Thank you for instilling me with an incredible work<br />

ethic, and values and morals, which have enabled me to become who<br />

I am today. I love you both.<br />

To Petter, Stian, Rita, Candee and Bob: Thank you for this opportunity;<br />

it has allowed me to be more, do more and have more. I am forever<br />

grateful for your vision.<br />

My journey would not have been the same without each of you in my<br />

life. There is just not enough room to express the gratitude I feel for<br />

what you have added to my life and my business. Let’s just say, I definitely<br />

sponsored up.<br />

To RVP Tammy Wright: You were my first Ace. I am so thankful you<br />

decided to join my business. You bring so many creative ideas and<br />

talent to our Nation. With all that charisma, it is no wonder you are<br />

accomplish until you step out in faith. I look for<strong>ward</strong> to watching your<br />

success grow.<br />

To all my DMs: Get ready for the ride of your life! I think this is the best<br />

business on the planet. Believe in yourself and in your dreams, and do<br />

not forget to enjoy the journey.<br />

To those of you just beginning this journey: Get connected immediately —<br />

order business cards and tell your story to everyone. You do not have to<br />

buy every product and you do not have to know everything to get started;<br />

just attend every available training. Do not reinvent the wheel, just be<br />

coachable and spend time every day on personal development. Attend<br />

<strong>Arbonne</strong> University online, invest in the <strong>Arbonne</strong>=REsults reach out<br />

method and expect great results! Have a whatever-it-takes attitude. In<br />

times of discouragement, ask yourself, “Where will I be in five years if I<br />

keep doing what I’m doing” You can do this. I believe in each of you!<br />
