Thank you all for sharing,

It helps to think about WHY are you doing this biz, who is going to benfit from the financial freedom, how hard are you working now? are you trying to get away from the corporate, who inspired you to do the biz. What will financial freedom do for you, are you struggling to pay bills. Ask yourself a lot of questions and the answers will give you your WHY story

Good info. Julie
My why story is simple:
I am the mother of 3 wonderful, sassy and athletic children ages 13, 6 and4. I worked for 17 yrs with children as a social worker, foster parent and more recently a child care director. Although I got to take my children with me, I never felt appreciated. Last year I got the same raise as marginal employees (6%) the only difference was that I was working my butt off and they were not. In July of this year I made $11,000 more than my projected revenue for my company. I did not receive a phone call, email and certainly did not get a bigger pay check for my financial efforts. In addition I did not make it to one of my daughters sporting events after school. I looked at my life and decided that I had to make a change for myself and more importantly my family. Since that time I have quit my job (August of this year) and I am commiting myself 100% to the business.

At the first of this year, I closed a business my best friend & I started about four years ago. We both worked very hard (and long) to build a business that we both thought we'd have for many years. However, it became clear to me that, even though I was a smaill business owner, I wasn't REALLY in control of my destiny. Our corporate office made numerous changes that in effect, cut our profit & increased our workoad (& risk). Bottom line: I would have to work harder to earn less money! I grew tired of having my efforts increase the balance in someone else's bank account. I began to think about ways to earn a substantial income & still spend time with my three children. My chilren needed more of me than I had been giving them! I'm confident that ARBONNE INTERNATIONAL is the opportunity I've been seeking! It is the RIGHT company at the RIGHT time!!

Brittany,
I loved reading your story it is one of hope. I love reading all of the Arbonne success stories however, most of the success stories give us a high level detail of how National, Exe. etcmake it to that level. What i am looking for are some pointers on how to get there.(some low level details like)Did you do parties? One on ones? Did you get lots of reorders? How many persons did you recruite etc. any insight you can give would be greatly appreciated. What worked for you? Please e-mail me at peace_dove7777@yahoo.com
