I do not believe in chance; things happen for a reason. If you are thinking Arbonne is not for you, I encourage you to give it some serious consideration. This just may turn out to be your vehicle to an extraordinary life full of freedom, fulfillment, purpose and hope.
I have always hoped and strived for a successful career, a full and rewarding family life with friendships that would sharpen and challenge me to be better. There was a time in my life just before Arbonne when I thought I would have to choose between these dreams. I thought there was no way to have it all. Arbonne has opened my eyes and expanded my feeling of hope. This journey has blessed and transformed me in so many ways; I am grateful for the opportunity to share this gift with so many others.
Since I have always had a passion for health and fitness, and helping others pursue a healthy lifestyle, it seemed a good fit to become a nutritionist. When my husband decided to pursue medicine and we needed to rely solely on my income, I got excited about a career in pharmaceutical sales. As our family grew with the addition of our second and third sons, I realized the importance of time freedom and I made the choice to be fully present and devoted to my kids. The decision to be a stay-at-home mom came with a lifestyle sacrifice we were willing to make.
This is when my Arbonne journey began, just about a year ago. My sponsor, ERVP Michelle Rizzo, and I met in a mom’s club and play group. She had shared her desire to make additional income with a home-based business by selling Swiss-formulated skin care products. I was resistant to looking at this as an opportunity for myself, but I wanted to support Michelle and agreed to try the NutriMinC® RE9 anti-aging skin care line. What a first impression! The product line was truly awesome and I was intrigued when she offered to show me how to purchase products at a discount. Not only did I not realize what an amazing line of health and wellness products this company offered, I was not aware Michelle did not need to sell products in order to have the potential to make an income. How smart; this simple system is based on sharing our products with other people and teaching them how they can purchase them at their own discount; then showing them how they can potentially earn an income by helping others do the same.
My second impression of Arbonne was even better than the first, when I met with Michelle’s sponsor and girlfriend, ENVP Amme Weilert. Amme shared more about the company’s impressive history, generous compensation plan, Mercedes-Benz Cash Bonus Program and simple system for building an amazing business, even on a part-time basis. She was the proof in the pudding, so to speak.
I just decided to do it! I thought, “Why not go for it?” I felt I had nothing to lose and everything to gain. First, I had to gain the support of my husband, who was a skeptic. Bubb was just finishing his residency in anesthesia and was preparing to start his first official job in medicine, in Texas. Bubb has gone from skeptic to being my biggest supporter. Within just a year, Arbonne is offering us options — the option to not work the hours that many physicians work, and the option to create a potential residual income allowing us to freely serve others is extraordinary!
This journey began with a vision to become free to make our own choices and create a life beyond the status quo. It has become more about helping others discover their worth and potential, and becoming a servant leader. It is so exciting to be presented with your Mercedes-Benz keys, but it is even more rewarding to hand them to your friends and family who join you at the top. Beyond all the potential financial rewards that have come with this journey, it is the sense of fulfillment from helping others that is the true reward. The day I made my decision to start with Arbonne, I did not realize the positive impact my choice would have, and its power to change so many lives.
What is your vision for yourself and your family? Where do you see yourself a year from today? Do you want to be your own boss? Do you want to be debt free? Do you want time freedom? Do you want to make a difference in people’s lives? We all want a better life. Do not let fear stand in your way. Take the steps necessary to live the life you always imagined. You, too, have what it takes to be successful in this business, if you are just willing to commit to it.
What are the secrets to success in Arbonne? They are the same as in any other area of life. What is necessary for success is belief, commitment and integrity. If you believe you can or you believe you cannot, you are right! Believe this opportunity has the power to change lives and you are part of this journey for a purpose. Your commitment means consistently taking the action steps and not quitting before payday. Know that without integrity, there is no value in any of this accomplishment.
I am so grateful for this journey, but most of all for the relationships built and strengthened along the way.
To my girlfriend and sponsor, Michelle: I am blessed to have you in my life and so thankful for your friendship! I am so glad you were persistent and continued to “drip” Arbonne on me.

During your chemotherapy treatments, you continued to have hope and the courage of 100 women. I have learned so much from you.
