<strong>BELIEVE</strong> <strong>IN</strong> <strong>THE</strong><br />
POWER OF BELIEV<strong>IN</strong>G<br />
My <strong>Arbonne</strong> journey began eight months ago when my dear friend<br />
and sponsor, ERVP Missy Wilson, invited me to her house for an<br />
“Opportunity” Presentation saying, “I really think you need to hear<br />
about this.” A couple of days later, we were sitting at the local fountain<br />
park and watching our kids play. I expressed my doubts to her,<br />
wondering if <strong>Arbonne</strong> was something that could work for me. She<br />
said, “Whether you think you can or think you cannot, you are right.”<br />
Nowadays, I like to say that when I began my <strong>Arbonne</strong> journey,<br />
Missy believed enough for both of us. I leaned on her belief when I<br />
did not have enough of my own. Thank goodness for her belief in<br />
me and this business.<br />
One of my closest friends and first business builder, AM Mindy<br />
Wolfe, joined this journey with me one month later. She soon signed<br />
up our mutual friend, AM Jennifer Miller, and we were on our way.<br />
Our husbands have all been friends since elementary school. Who<br />
knew that I would find my first Aces among their wives<br />
Two other close friends, Barker Poe and Aubre Wells, fell in love<br />
with the products and decided to start their own <strong>Arbonne</strong> businesses<br />
one month later. I once read that it is more important to be trusted<br />
by others, than to be loved by them. My heart grew two sizes the<br />
day they put their trust in my belief in <strong>Arbonne</strong>.<br />
Our team became an Area in October and then I really started to<br />
believe. One cool night in November, Barker brought Renee<br />
Cameron to my house. Renee signed on as a Consultant and our<br />
businesses began to explode. Renee sponsored DMs Tiffany Cash<br />
and Becky Terry.<br />

Looking back, I realized when I started my <strong>Arbonne</strong> business, my<br />
Why was very simple. I wanted to have the best of both worlds: The<br />
personal satisfaction of having my own career and the ability to<br />
continue to be home with my children. Of course, being able to participate<br />
in the Mercedes-Benz cash bonus program was a huge<br />
motivating factor, also. However, my Why has evolved into so much<br />
more over the last eight months. My team’s Why has become a part<br />
of mine, too. When goals are more about people than numbers,<br />
everything else will fall into place.<br />

No one finishes Region alone, and I appreciate and adore our team<br />
members more than they will ever know.<br />
To AM Mindy Wolfe: Thank you for being my first believer. We<br />
have been great friends for so long, but <strong>Arbonne</strong> has brought us<br />
even closer. To AM Jennifer Miller: You amaze me! We all knew<br />
you were an Ace the minute you walked in the door. To AM Barker<br />
Poe: It means the world to me that you put your trust in something I<br />
believed in. You are a living example of someone with a servant’s<br />
heart. To DM Aubre Wells: You are my confidante and my go-to<br />
girl. Thank you for your endless advice and caring spirit.<br />
<strong>Arbonne</strong> can truly become a family affair. I am so thankful for my<br />
family, DM Dinah Clark, DM Jill Holland and DM-in-qualification<br />
Natalie Morgan. I could not have dreamed of better in-laws or<br />
friends. You mean everything to me, and your enthusiasm for these<br />
products and this business is contagious. The men in our family have<br />
their business and now we have ours!<br />
To Renee Cameron, Tiffany Cash, Becky Terry, Eva Farris, Glo<br />
Wood, Gay Wood-Bassett, Gary Brown, Libba Wise, Sarah<br />
Barrett, Alison Schmelzer and Tracy Goforth: Thank you for your<br />
enthusiasm and friendship. I look forward to all of your future success<br />
so much.<br />
To my sponsor, ERVP Missy Wilson: Where do I begin The past<br />
eight months have been amazing. Thank you for thinking of me when<br />
it came time for you to introduce <strong>Arbonne</strong> to a few friends. Most of<br />
all, thank you for believing in me, even when I did not believe in<br />
myself. Your friendship over the past year has given me confidence.<br />
You are the most positive person I know. I am thankful for you and<br />
your family, and that we are chasing our dreams together.<br />
To ERVP Martha Norvell: Thank you for answering all of my questions<br />
and for going the “extra mile” when we needed help. Thank<br />
you for your hard work. When you became one of the first two RVPs<br />
in our state, it helped launch all of our businesses.<br />

To NVP Renee McCown: It has been said that being a leader is<br />
defined as helping someone do what they otherwise would not<br />
have done. I am so thankful for your amazing leadership. Every<br />
time you have encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone, it<br />
has paid off. You are truly an example of being a leader who others<br />
want to follow.<br />
To my beautiful angels: Thank you for being sweet, wonderful and<br />
caring children. Mamie, knowing that you say you are an<br />
“<strong>Arbonne</strong> girl” makes me smile. Carson, thanks for answering the<br />
phone and taking messages when I am “doing <strong>Arbonne</strong>.” I thank<br />
God for you both.<br />
To my prince charming and husband, Steve: Over the past 10<br />
years, you have made so many of my dreams come true and<br />
because of your unselfish support, we will see even more dreams<br />
come true. You have always believed in me and you give so much<br />
of yourself to our family. You are the best husband, father and<br />
friend. I love you and love how you always make me laugh.<br />
If you are reading my Eye on <strong>Arbonne</strong> story and do not believe yet,<br />
find someone who does and rely on their belief until you have belief<br />
of your own. The power of believing is magical!<br />
