END OF THE TUNNEL
When I made the decision to start an Arbonne business, there was no question in my mind I would one day be writing my Eye on Arbonne story; not because I had a successful business for seven years with a direct sales company, but because of the generosity of this wonderful company called Arbonne. Arbonne came into my life at a time when I found myself burned out from the amount of personal selling that was necessary to keep my former business up and running. There was no light at the end of the proverbial tunnel for me, and if I kept on doing what I was doing, I would keep on getting what I was getting. For part-time hours, the income was really great, but I had bigger dreams than that. So, after four years of having her “drip” Arbonne on me, I told my mom, ENVP Judy DelNinno, that I thought it might be time for me to take a real look at what her company was all about. I could not see her reaction, but I think her jaw dropped to the floor! Although it is a product-driven company, Arbonne is really about building a network of consumers, versus sellers, and is certainly more than just about “selling skin care.” In the last 16 months, through building belief in myself, Arbonne products and the network marketing industry, I have absolutely discovered that. I definitely had fears of starting over; but when I start something, I do it all out, not just try it. There never once was a thought that I would “try” this business. As they say, I jumped in with both feet and look where our team is now! I believe this is a business of know, like and trust. When you build relationships with people who know, like and trust you, and have a wonderful product and opportunity to offer, then they will follow your advice whether you offer them an opportunity to earn an income or

whether you offer them results-oriented products. The great thing is that you do not have to find all of those business builders yourself! Find four and help others to do the same. President Rita Davenport always says that Arbonne is going to change the world and I believe that 100 percent. Giving time back to people through a residual income is what this is all about. Rita also says Arbonne is a personal growth company disguised as a skin care company. That was never more relevant than in my case. I did not realize I needed to grow personally to have a successful Arbonne

business. What I learned is that you cannot move up the ranks in business (or in life) without constant growth and education. Surround yourself with others who believe the same and you will see immense success! To my mom: Thank you for your belief and persistence in building your business over the last five years in Massachusetts, even when most had no idea what Arbonne was. Your patience in knowing that the time had to be right for me was crucial. You have truly given our family a gift and it has been wonderful growing our businesses together. I also want to thank dad for being the cheerleader and numbers checker of the family. I love you both. To my sister, EAM Michele Murray: Thank you for being on this journey with me. It would not be the same without you and I am so happy to see you are building your dreams and achieving whatever you want for yourself, Billy and Jake through Arbonne. You deserve it! I have always said that you are even better at this business than me. I just decided first and got to sponsor you! Region is in the near future for you! To my husband, Mike: You are my life and I love you. All I want to do is make our life even better than it already is. Thank you for your help and constant support of anything I do. Soon, you can have the choice of whether being a police officer, an often stressful job, is something you really want to continue with. I am happy to help you have that choice one day! When one achieves Region, it cannot be done without a team of wonderful people. This Region belongs to us all; I just hold the title. To one of my longtime friends, EAM MaryBeth Basnett: You have brought so much life into our group. You immediately embraced the leadership role and it will get you to Region very soon! To AM Dawn Houle: You are one of the hardest workers I know. You are going right to the top in Arbonne! To AM Gayle Benson: Your dedication and belief in Arbonne as well as your work ethic will bring you to Region in no time! To the 17 DMs and Arbonne Independent Consultants in our Region: Keep going! We would not be here if it were not for you! Keep “doing the do,” as Kathy Lutz says. Enjoy this journey.

To ENVP Karen DiCenzo: Thanks for being mom’s first business builder, constantly edifying and keeping her going. Our family secretly thanks you and your entire team all the time! To Kathy Lutz: Thank you for being the epitome of Arbonne leadership! To my sister, Nicole; mother-in-law, Claire; and the rest of my family and friends: Thanks for your support. Every little bit helps! To all of the customers from my former business who knew, liked and trusted me: Thanks for your willingness to learn about Arbonne even though you had never heard of it. It certainly means a lot! To everyone at the Arbonne Home Office: What an outstanding company you represent. Thank you for modeling heart, honor, integrity and generosity. Becoming successful in Arbonne is absolutely attainable by anyone. I once read that you do not get into Arbonne; Arbonne gets into you. Let Arbonne get into you and experience all of the life-changing benefits that you have only dreamed of. Small sacrifices will lead to a wonderful quality of life, later. Find out for yourself if this brilliant company and business is the right fit. You will never know unless you do it!
