Dear Family and Friends,
Greetings to all! I hope this letter finds you happy and healthy! I wanted to share with you a bit about what is going on for our family and a new adventure that I have decided to take on. Last December I received an invitation to a friend’s home Arbonne party. I laughed and thought sarcastically, “great another at home party where we are expected to buy something, and I cannot wait to bring my hard earned money”. However, I dearly loved the friend and wanted to support her efforts, plus I was semi-curious about Arbonne as I was forever looking for the right skincare products since I have spent a lifetime dealing with troubled skin. Suffice it to say, and to the discord of my husband, I made a few purchases and agreed to host a small party at my own home. Ultimately, I fell in love with the products! This was one of the deciding factors for me to embark on this new adventure - launching my own Arbonne International home business.
Also at that same party a curious chance of fate happened, the Arbonne representative presenting that night was a lovely gal that looked very familiar to me. After a short discussion we realized that we spent a few weeks together as new friends and sorority pledges at the University of Denver before I transferred to the University of Wyoming in the middle of my freshman year. Those of you receiving this note should already know my age… but that was 15 years ago! That lovely gal, Mary, introduced me to the business aspect of Arbonne. At first she was very persistent and I was only slightly interested, after all it was one of those at home things that I begrudgingly agreed to go to. Nonetheless, I humored Mary and listened to the business plan and learned a little about network marketing. As a numbers person, I went home with all the information Mary gave me and set out to understand how one can have success with this kind of a business plan. After completing my own spreadsheet and putting together some sample scenarios I found that this at home “scheme” really was not a scheme but an excellent business opportunity for me.
With the recent birth of my daughter, June, I have been heartbroken knowing I must go back to work after my maternity leave and place her into daycare. Since we learned of my pregnancy, my husband and I have dreamed up many ways to spend more time at home. Unfortunately, in these economic times, being a one income household is not an option for us. Plus, I feel a need to contribute, in a meaningful way, to our family’s finances. Learning of Mary’s great success with Arbonne (as well as many others) gave me great motivation at the possibilities of starting my own business. So I have set some lofty goals for myself. I plan to return to my engineering job part-time, continue to seek my Masters degree in education, and start up my own company with Arbonne – all while being a good mother and wife.
My initial objective with Arbonne is to supplement my income and be open to the opportunities that may arise…potentially replacing my engineering income and allowing me the option to stay home with June.
As this Arbonne business became a clear vision for me, and something I knew I wanted to pursue, I still had many doubts. My greatest hesitations about starting a business with Arbonne, or in network marketing in general, were probably common to almost everyone who considers this type of business - I have worked hard to establish credibility and this industry can sometimes be perceived to have a negative image. What would my friends, colleagues and family think of me?
I know that starting an Arbonne business will allow me to have the potential for more time, money and flexibility. I am looking forward to the opportunity to incorporate this company into my list of goals and future achievements! So…I am challenging myself to step out of my comfort zone and to grow in the name of being able to achieve my goal of spending more time with my family and continuing my financial contribution to it.
I am really excited about building my new business and sharing these fabulous products with you. If you would like to learn more you can call me at 720-323-9251, email me at , or check out the Arbonne website at www.arbonne.com. Thank you all so much for your support through this journey.
Be well and take care,
Molly
