Kim with ENVP Lynn Hagedorn in Maui.<br />
AM Crissy Castillo and RVP Sarah Zatechka at NTC 2006 St. Louis.<br />
Eighteen months ago, I was on fire about teaching. I had never heard of<br />
Arbonne and I had no interest in washing my face on a regular basis, let alone<br />
looking into the business. But when my close friend, Kelly Klostermeyer, lost her<br />
part-time teaching position and was forced to go full time, she looked into other<br />
options. Arbonne was her option. She asked me if she could present some<br />
information about the products to a few of my friends and me ... I was hesitant,<br />
but wanted to help her out.<br />
ENVP Lynn Hagedorn (then RVP) and ENVP Kelly Klostermeyer (then a<br />
Consultant) presented such intriguing information. It was the first time I looked<br />
at my skin as a live organ and actually began reading ingredient labels on my<br />
family’s skin care products. As a thank you for holding a Presentation in my<br />
home, Kelly gave me an Arbonne Baby Care set and I was blown away when<br />
the symptoms of my son’s excema improved within days. He had been on<br />
steroid treatments, prescription creams and several antidotes to help alleviate<br />
the pain. None of them had ever come close to working as quickly as the<br />
Arbonne products did.<br />
Five days later, my son’s pediatrician called to inform me that the prescription<br />
cream I had been using to relieve my son’s eczema had a black box warning<br />
label placed on it due to a link to skin cancer and lymphoma. I immediately<br />
recalled the information regarding transdermal absorption — it was sickening.<br />
Then I began my journey by taking a proactive approach, sharing the alternatives<br />
with others we have available through a great company called Arbonne.<br />
Why in the world would I think I could handle something so out of the ordinary,<br />
especially a multi-level marketing company, when I did not know a thing<br />
about business<br />
What I found is that my experience, my abilities and my knowledge (or lack<br />
thereof) regarding the products and the industry did not matter; my passion for<br />
a product that worked, and an opportunity that could potentially change my<br />
life and the lives of others, was what mattered. By choosing this path, I was<br />
launched into a world that, before, I did not even know existed: Ordinary people<br />
building fortunes from their own houses. Why would I not at least try this<br />
As I continued to venture down this path of so many unknowns, I realized that<br />
this really is not even about me. It is about my children and their future, and<br />
having my husband and myself present in every aspect of their lives. It is about<br />
giving back to my mom and dad, who have put themselves last for 35 years.<br />
I want them to enjoy their retirement, and not have to try to find jobs because<br />
their monthly check is not quite covering their expenses. This opportunity is<br />
about offering the same freedoms to other people who are not yet aware of<br />
this unfamiliar world. It is about showing my sons and daughter that they can<br />
do anything they want to in life, as long as they are passionate about what<br />
they do and they work hard at it. I know I am a great mom — I can build a<br />

Have you ever come to a crossroads in your life where you were truly torn as<br />
to which road you should take How could I be so passionate about teaching,<br />
and really consider looking into Arbonne What was driving me I am the<br />
furthest thing away from a salesperson — I was actually fired on my second day<br />
as a telemarketer. I had already told everybody I knew about the information I<br />
learned from Arbonne, and most did not want anything to do with the business.<br />
