stephani mckee NVP A TRUE GIFT Independent Consultant, National Vice President Stephani McKee Nation; Lincoln, NE I have heard it said that getting to District is all about you, getting to Area is mostly about you, getting to Region is hardly about you, and getting to Nation is not about you at all. I am fortunate to have achieved the title of NVP after nine months of building an Arbonne business, but really, this title has nothing to do with me. It is impossible to become an Arbonne NVP without an incredible team, and I need to begin this story by thanking mine. I am so fortunate to be on a team of self-motivated, entrepreneurial, energetic people who have learned the art of duplication and know the power of building a network. Without their efforts, none of this success would have been possible. Prior to Arbonne, I was an elementary school teacher for seven years. After the birth of my first child, I went back to teaching part time for two years, but quickly realized I did not have enough time with my daughter. A defining moment occurred at the beginning of the second year. I received my paycheck and realized it was exactly the same as the previous year. Typically, we got a slight raise, so I called the district offices to alert them to the fact they had forgotten to add my raise. I was informed that part-time teachers receive a raise every other year. At that point, I made a decision that I was no longer going to trade my time for money. I knew time with my daughter was far more valuable. I resigned from my teaching position at the end of the year. Now, I have been home with my three daughters for the last six years. My husband and I learned quite quickly that the path to true wealth lies in ownership. We were given the opportunity to start a small business, along with my brother-in-law, father-in-law and a friend. We knew it was a risk, but we are young and felt like it was a risk worth taking. After several years of trying to make it work, we closed the doors, leaving us with a great deal of debt. My sister describes the debt as the equivalent of a Harvard education. Amazingly, it was worth every penny, because paying off the debt was a big Why for us and the deciding factor that made me say yes to the Arbonne opportunity. Stephani’s Why: Daughter, Shelby, 8. Stephani with husband, Ed. Stephani’s Why: Daughter, Elizabeth, 5. Stephani’s Why: Daughter, Hannah, 3.

Stephani, ENVP Lynn Hagedorn, Ron Nelson, RVP Carol Mathis and her husband, Sr. VP Product Development & Field Events, Candace Keefe and her husband at the Ace dinner. I was led to Arbonne by my friend, ERVP Jennifer Prussa. I loved the products and was buying them from her for six months, but did not see the incredible opportunity right in front of me. It was at an inhome Presentation that ENVP Lynn Hagedorn painted the big picture of Arbonne, and piqued my curiosity. She told me three things that made me want to hear more: We do not carry inventory, we can build a business using the Arbonne=REsults reach out method and anyone can become an Arbonne Consultant with $29 and shop from home. I could see that fitting into my life. My biggest fear was that I could not and did not want to sell anything. What I soon learned, though, is that this business is not about selling. Arbonne is about sharing and teaching. That was something I could do! I jumped into my business with both feet. I found four people who were also interested in building a business with Arbonne. From that point on, I have helped them build their teams. Over the course of nine months, four members of my team have promoted to RVP, participated in the Mercedes-Benz Cash Bonus Program and are driving their white Mercedes-Benzes. A fifth team member is in qualification for Regional Vice President. Each of them plugged into the system, and learned the art of duplication. This business is about teaching your team to do what you just did, and when your team members realize their goals, you exceed yours. Wow, what an incredible concept! Arbonne is truly a gift on so many levels. I have heard it said that the products will change your skin, and the opportunity will change your life. I have found that to be so true. On a product level, you are able to enjoy and share products that are pure, safe, beneficial for the entire family. On a financial level, the opportunity is a way you can have ownership of a business with minimal start-up costs. The business is also an opportunity to create a new stream of income that has the potential to change your life. On a deeper level, the real gift is the personal growth you will experience. I am not the same person I was nine months ago. Building a business with Arbonne will stretch you in ways you cannot imagine, and the friendships you make will be the reward you cherish the most. To my incredible husband, Ed: Thank you for believing in me, encouraging me, and seeing the amazing vision with Arbonne. You are the love of my life. I would not be where I am today without you! To my three beautiful daughters: You put a smile on my face every day. You are the reason I have worked so hard to build this business. I feel so blessed to be your mom. Where it all began — Stephani with ERVP Jennifer Prussa and AM Sauni Frederick. continued ... success strategy: “ Help your team reach their goals and you will exceed yours. ”
