Hi,
Did you already sign? If so you might want to get with your Sponsor. If you haven't already signed you will learn all of this from your Sponsor, but I suggest you talk with more than one Arbonne rep to see which one best fits with your personality and beliefs. I was completely turned off by the first girl that tried to sponsor me. I knew with out a doubt that I loved the product, but I felt it wasn't for me if I had to be like the girl trying to Sponsor me. I then met another one, who I was not looking for, and we really hit it off.
If you have any other specific questions you can either email me at bridgetg03@aol.com or just list it on this board and I'll watch for you smileys/smiley2.gif

Hi,
I agree with Bridget talk to your sponsor or the person that introduced you tothe companyshe should be able to help you get started.
There are so many ways to build a business and now if definitely the time to get started!! I started building my business while I was PG with my son. I did home parties in the beginning and took my son with me! NowI do most of my business over the phone and do 1 on 1 appointments,my team uses this approach as well. It's worked out better for me, so I don't have to interrupt my son schedule! I can work my business around him!!
Only you can decide if this is a fit for you. You may need to sit down and really think about why you want to build your business and how much time you have and how much you need to make to feel comfortable.
Depending on where you live there might be training's or meetings you could attend to learn more about the business.
Finding a sponsor you are comfortable with that is willing to help you every step of the way is very important IMO.
Best of luck!!Edited by: NewMommy

I believe it's only a good time to start if YOU'RE ready. By that, I mean that you have to feel the passion for the product and go for it! But different people are ready at different times.
I got started when my daughter was 9 months old. It was the best thing I could have done. I was mentally ready because I had an extremely successful (but very demanding and draining)corporate career for 15 years but I didn't want to return to it. I saw a way to build a business, replace my corporate income and put my hard earned leadership skills to work.
Many of us on the board sponsor people. If you already have a potential sponsor, I would suggest that you ask that person lots of questions. Listen carefully to their answers and be sure that they're listening to YOUR wants and needs without pushing on you THEIR agenda. If not, then you'll find a sponsor here.
Once you have your sponsor in place, that person should work with you to determine the best way to make Arbonne successful for you.

There are lots of great ways to get started with the company. And I think it's a great idea since you have the babies to think about. This could be a great thing for you guys. We have several different approaches we use so it kind of depends on what interests you as to how you should start.
How much extra time do you have to devote to your business? What are you wanting out of it? Say $500, $1000 or $10000 a month? How much are you willing to learn?Why are you thinking about doing it.
Your first step is going to be finding a sponsor. There's lots of great advice about that on the board, just do a search, If you have one already then talk to her about this & she'll help you to decide.
need more help, let us know. :)
