MY<br />
PLAN B<br />
Independent Consultant, National Vice President<br />
Jennifer Jerry Nation; Oklahoma City, OK<br />
Brace yourself ... the gift you are about to receive, or already have, is going to blow<br />
you away. By opening your mind and heart, you will allow this amazing company<br />
to change the way you think, treat others and the way you live. This journey has<br />
given me the excitement of a girl with a Tiffany ® box in her hand. What do you<br />
desire, love, dream about? Start thinking now because you can capture all that you<br />
have ever wanted with this amazing opportunity, courtesy of <strong>Arbonne</strong>.<br />
Two years ago, I found myself signing up with <strong>Arbonne</strong> just to help out with my<br />
elementary school teaching salary. I did not have any ”real” intentions of building<br />
a business with a skin care company. I planned a few classes here and there, but I<br />
did not take the business seriously. I loved the people, the products and the idea of<br />
earning a white Mercedes-Benz. The excitement was definitely there, and then in<br />
April I felt the “need for speed.” I was notified that along with 600 other teachers,<br />
I would be laid off due to budget cuts. So there I was, only 24 years old feeling a<br />
little gloomy that my teaching career, that just began, might already be over. But I<br />
had a burning feeling that <strong>Arbonne</strong> should be my plan B!<br />
By implementing the six for success system, sharing the business, and setting my<br />
goal to get my car by my 25th birthday, I was in business. In 11 months I became<br />
an RVP, two weeks before my birthday. I liked the plan so much that I just duplicated<br />
it. I put the sponsoring, classes and sharing back in motion and set the next<br />
goal for NVP by my 26th birthday ... and I succeeded exactly like the plan before.<br />
My experience has been awesome!<br />
Now I did not always see myself as a National Vice President. I remember sitting<br />
on a porch swing with ENVP Alicia Dewey talking about goals and where we wanted<br />
to take this business. I asked her if she had ever thought of going Nation or if<br />
we should think that big, and she replied, “Absolutely!” From then on I gave myself<br />
“permission” to think and dream bigger. Now I see having a bigger and better<br />
vision is a huge part of one’s success. I have also learned that I must act, talk and<br />
conduct myself like the person I want to become. There has been a lot of personal<br />
and spiritual growth that I have encountered over the past two years, and I love the<br />
person I am for it, and love passing it on. It is funny to think that in the beginning,<br />
I did not think that I needed any of it. I just thought growth was for people who<br />
always found themselves in the self-help section at Barnes and Noble ® . I love<br />
being able to help others become the person that they want to be, and in addition<br />
to sharing our dreams and adventures with each other.<br />

Since I have played sports my whole life, I have really been inspired by<br />
athletes who have the endurance and strength to go the full distance and<br />
win championships. It takes a team to win, just like it does in <strong>Arbonne</strong>. We<br />
all have different strengths and talents and when you bring it to the table<br />
and share it among each other, everyone achieves more. I am so proud of<br />
my team, they put on their Nike ® shoes and “just did it.” There are many<br />
excuses that we could all use not to be successful in this business, but excuses<br />
are like belly buttons — we all have them. Identify what is holding you<br />
back and turn those same excuses into reasons. Reasons are what drive you.<br />
Something we like to call our Why. If you say you do not have time to do<br />
<strong>Arbonne</strong>, then that is Why you need to do this business — to create more<br />
time. If you have children and never get to see them, then your children<br />
become your Why. Perhaps money is an issue, then “bingo.” This business<br />
has the potential to provide that too. It is the all-inclusive package deal. You<br />
too can live the life you have always wanted, but it is up to you to decide.<br />
If you are riding the fence and have not put both feet in, please do not wait<br />
for perfect conditions, because they simply do not exist. Life is always pushing<br />
its way onto your calendar. Work your business into the nooks and crannies,<br />
have fun, love your team and yourself, and know that every day is a<br />
new one. Believe that your entire business can change with one new person,<br />
one awesome class or one positive experience. It is up to you to<br />
allow those changes to occur, but without getting into action to create the<br />
cause you will have no effect.<br />
I want to thank those who made this mission possible. You all are my MVPs<br />
(Most Valuable Players). Thank you for making a difference in my life.<br />
ENVP Alicia Dewey: Thank you for your time, your leadership and your<br />
charm. I love being around you and laughing until our stomachs hurt.<br />

all the time. You have so much love in your heart and I have learned so much<br />
from you. Thank you for bringing <strong>Arbonne</strong> into my life, for investing in me<br />

you will ever know.<br />
To my first Ace, ERVP Heather Slankard and her team: From day one we<br />
latched on to each other, and worked this business together even when we<br />
did not know what we were doing. Our visions were so strong that it does not<br />
matter that we do not have all the answers. Thank you for trusting and believing<br />
in me. Your team is dedicated and works so hard. You all are true champions.<br />
I cannot wait till your wedding day and the day you become an NVP.<br />

to the top is what I love. Your compassion for your team and the spirit you<br />
create is outstanding. Your team is so coachable and loving. Thank you for<br />
all that you and your team do.<br />
To RVP-in-qualification, Natasha Topinka and her team: To be able to work<br />
<strong>Arbonne</strong>, have a full-time job, and make it look so simple is beyond words.<br />
You never let anything get in your way and your positive attitude is so contagious.<br />
Thank you for giving me a chance to show you what this company can<br />
really do. Your team is unstoppable.<br />

Managers. Thank you for all that you do.<br />

Marcus — my sweet, hard-working, husband: To be able to paint my picture<br />
alongside yours has been incredible. I love it that we can wake up in the<br />
morning and not rush out the door to beat the traffic. But instead go about our<br />
day calling one another, welcoming each other’s successes throughout the<br />
day. I love spending time with you and I look forward to building our dream<br />

To the many whom I have built my business upon your teachings: You have<br />
each brought something into my business that I have taken, and implemented<br />
into what I want my team to follow and reflect. My main way of learning was<br />
through listening to CDs while getting ready every day, and while driving in the<br />
Mercedes-Benz. Thank you ENVP Cecilia Stoll (persistence and strength), ENVP<br />
Deanna Herrin (professionalism and leadership), ENVP Alicia Dewey (confidence<br />
and determination), ENVP Tonna Krogstad (servanthood and love),<br />
ENVP Rachel Sinclair (personal and spiritual growth), ENVP Cathi Almquist<br />
(learning to laugh often and celebrate) and ENVP Stacy Thorn (continuous<br />
action and respect). I am your student and hope that one day, I can pass this<br />
all down and inspire others like you have for all of us.<br />
My advice to you reading this story: Whether you are a friend, wholesale buyer<br />
or business builder, I encourage you to live each day to the fullest, and create<br />
the life you have always wanted. Do this for your family, yourself and to help<br />
others. Don’t be the person who says “what if.” Be the person who says, “I am<br />
so glad I did.” From the outside <strong>Arbonne</strong> may look like just another skin care<br />
company, but “man oh man,” if you only knew what I know. Everyone deserves<br />
the best and <strong>Arbonne</strong> is the finest gift you will ever receive. Thank you <strong>Arbonne</strong><br />
for putting more life in my day.<br />
