A RECIPE
FOR SUCCESS
My parents taught me that hard work and honesty are core, foundational principles. Growing up in the small town of Turtletown, Tennesse, I worked hard my entire life and hoped that some day my perseverance would pay off. I longed to be paid for the effort I was putting into my jobs. Since I was 14 years old, I have worked in restaurants and in manufacturing, eventually moving into management positions. It was not a higher degree that helped me advance into higher positions; instead, it was hard work and integrity. I left my successful career as a manufacturing planner/scheduler to be a stay-at-home mom. My life’s journey has been preparing me for the journey I am now enjoying with Arbonne. Nine years ago, we discovered that our daughter had serious red and yellow dye sensitivities that required us to be label readers for years. After researching the products that Founder Petter Mørck cared enough to introduce to mankind, I dug my heels in with Arbonne. For years, I had been wanting someone to come up with a skin care product line that was pure, safe, beneficial. With Arbonne products, we can be proud of what our family is putting on their skin. The importance of this is growing daily in the lives of everyone. These products not only work, they are pure, safe, beneficial. The Arbonne opportunity is also changing lives all over this country. This company is one that encourages personal growth. I love what my friend and upline, ENVP Carleeta Nelson, has taught us to be and do. Carleeta, we thank you for all that you have given to this business. I am living proof that her “recipe for success” works, so why mess with it?

A special thank you also goes to my dear friend, and upline, NVP LaGenna Betts. LaGenna has “hooked at the hip” with me to teach and to train me to do this business. As she says, this business is about duplication. This journey has been a growing process for all of us, personally and spiritually. We have all grown together, as friends and family. For my dearest friend, and first business builder, RVP Shelly Nelson: Thank you for saying “yes” doing this business with me. You are going straight to the top! You are an incredible friend and mentor who is leading an incredible team in the great north. Thank you, team!
