THE BEAUTY OF
THIS OPPORTUNITY
Wow! I cannot believe I am here, a Regional Vice President, in such
a short amount of time. As a former Mrs. Hawaii, professional hula
dancer, owner of my own business, wife and a mother of three beautiful
daughters, where would I find time for Arbonne?
In June 2005, I was giving up my title as Mrs. Hawaii and met ERVP
Alicia Jones, who was one of the pageant contestants. Who would
have known this beauty queen would offer me an opportunity that
would transform my life and the lives of many other family members
I know? Despite our busy life, my husband, Duane, had just accepted
a new position that would pose some new and exciting challenges
for our family. In January of 2006 we moved into our new
home and along with that came budget cuts. One day, my husband
asked me what I thought about taking the children out of private
school and putting them back into the public school system. I did not
agree with this idea. My daughters were excited about learning,
being challenged and finally receiving the individual attention they
needed, all in private school. There was no way I was going to take
that from them. So, I started brainstorming and thought I could go
back to dancing hula, being a cocktail waitress or working longer
hours at my manicure business. None of these choices seemed realistic
to me. Every one of my options would take away time from my
family and that is when I knew there had to be a better way.
By this time, Alicia had been telling me about Arbonne for months.
She told me how great the company was and about all the opportunities
they had for my family and me. So, I finally decided to put

her to the test. I told Alicia about my situation and right away, I got
started with Arbonne. Since then we have been working as a team,
side by side. One month later, I was able to build a great team, full
of amazing spirit and drive.
I have been so blessed along this journey, and have achieved my
goals and so much more. I am able to keep my daughters in private
school and provide them with many extracurricular activities.
In any given conversation, Arbonne always becomes a main topic of
mine. I am convinced this product and company can change lives.

success strategy:
Build momentum and keep
going until you succeed.
Arbonne is able to give my family and friends a second chance at
making their dreams a reality. I share it at every opportunity, and it
is a blessing to be able to turn around and offer such an awesome
gift to others. I never really had a dream, but Arbonne has allowed
me to dream and keep dreaming.
It has been an incredible ride! I still cannot believe I am here. I have
experienced tremendous growth with family and friends, changed
my outlook and found joy, which all my Consultants have brought
to each other and to me. I love you guys.
I want to thank God for His goodness toward my family and friends.
God, you rock!
To my husband and daughters: Thank you for all your patience and
help during my Arbonne Presentations. Even though you did not
believe in me, I still love you. You are the reason my Why is so big.
To ERVP Alicia Jones: Thank you for doing what you said you would
do and, even more so, for being such a great leader and mentor. I
thank God every day for putting you in my life. I love you.
To my sister, DM Brenda Clary: We have learned so much from one
another and we will continue to learn and grow. I am glad you are
my business partner and best friend; you have been such an amazing
support for me.
To RVP Amber Stone: You are incredible and we did it! It has been
a crazy journey and we have so many life experiences to add under
our belts. Thank you for your great attitude toward life and for the
brightness you bring; that is a gift. I love you.
To my best friend, DM Sherri Thomas: You finally saw what Arbonne
had to offer! I just want you to have an incredible ride and the journey
will be an exciting one. I cannot wait! Keep the momentum going
and you will get there.
Husband, AM Duane Komine and Leona.
