Have a great dayEdited by: major26

That's one of the things I love about this business. It allows us to be involved in the things that are iportant to us, working around everything!! It allows us to make it in our own time without pressure. It is an incredible opportunity to work and have a life!smileys/smiley17.gif

Amen to that! smileys/smiley1.gif

Just remember to keep it that way. I know some
who have gotten things out of perspective, and
have dropped by the way side. We don't have to
make it to the top is five days or a month or two
months. Somewhere we have to be realistic.

My wife and I have decided to go back into
full time ministry. I am trying to "see" how I
can do Arbonne and ministry. It may take me
some time to find a church. I am open to ideas
about ministry and Arbonne.


I am just trying to be honest with myself, and
I am determined not to quit Arbonne, just keep
it all in perspective.

I want to say another amen to that!! I also want to way that one of the first things that attracted me to Arbonne was that the EOA stories that I started reading were all about people who seemed to have their priorities right and Gad was at the helm in there walk. I think that by helping people with this company, it is just another avenue of ministry. The two can definitely co-exist and compliment each other!! smileys/smiley2.gif

Being very active in church myself, and my father-in-law has been the Pastor of a church for 15 years, I will try to give a little insight. When you do find your new ministry, I wouldn't bring up Arbonne right away. As your people get to know you and your wife, I am sure it will come up. They will definetly be intrigued about Arbonne and will probably start asking you questions. I think there is a fine line though between being the leadership in a ministry and promoting an outside business. I know of a Pastor's wife who is Area manager for Arbonne. She doesn't really promote at church, but her daughter does. If my in-laws ever chose to do Arbonne, I am confident that church members would want to know a little more about Arbonne since they highly respect my in-laws choices and decisions. I guess my advice would be to "drip" Arbonne. For instances, every church usually has baby showers and bridal showers. You and your wife can give the baby set for a gift, or a sea salt scrub for a bridal shower. They will most likely ask where you bought these fabulous products. Then, you can say, well I am a wholesale buyer, and tell them how they can buy wholesale too. I would think this would be the most least offensive way of sharing Arbonne w/ your congregation. Then they can come to the conclusion that money can be made w/ Arbonne themselves from recieving the Up Close every month, and you have not pushed in any way! Hope this helps!

Neat insight. I agree.


Thanks,

Itotally agree but I have to say that I think about it a lot! It's beacuse for so long I have been looking for the answer and I can now see the future w/ it! I even have Arbonne dreams- One night I dreampt that Pottery Barn was offering Arbonne volume for all sales and then last night I recruited Zach from Desperate Housewives. I may be a little looney right now but I can blame it on pregnancy hormones smileys/smiley9.gif

Nothing wrong with dreams.


Dreams can become reality.

I think that one of the EOA's said something like this: (paraphrased)


"Just remember that this is YOUR journey, not someone else's journey but your journey... Embrace that"


That puts it in perspective.smileys/smiley4.gif
