If you are reading this, you are more than likely an <strong>Arbonne</strong> Consultant<br />
or considering becoming one. Use your life’s major experiences to help<br />
guide you in your <strong>Arbonne</strong> business. One of those life lessons for me was<br />
running a marathon. Every time I run I cannot help but correlate the activity<br />
to building a business with <strong>Arbonne</strong>. I found that in running a<br />
marathon, there were people who always questioned how anyone could<br />
ever accomplish running 26 miles straight. I tell them, “Anyone can do it.<br />
You just put one foot in front of the other and decide to go all the way to<br />
the finish.”<br />
A marathon runner must first commit to run the race. At NTC 2005 Las<br />
Vegas, we learned that in <strong>Arbonne</strong>, the first and most important thing you<br />
need to do is decide. One year ago, at NTC 2004 Texas, my team and<br />
I celebrated becoming a Region. Despite the success, my fears and<br />
doubts crept in and I questioned whether I would ever be able to reach<br />
NVP. Where would I be today if I would have allowed my insecurities to<br />
take control? Are your dreams and visions for where you will go in your<br />
future strong enough to move you past your fears? This year at NTC 2005<br />
Las Vegas, my team and I were placing final orders to finish qualification<br />
for Nation. With <strong>Arbonne</strong>, your life has the potential to change over the<br />
next year as well, but only if you first decide that you want it to. The<br />
course has already been paved by the VPs who have gone before you<br />
and established paths to success. Do not second-guess where the path is<br />
taking you. Trust it and run.<br />
When I began my <strong>Arbonne</strong> business, my perception of an NVP was of<br />
perfection. How could someone get to NVP without already being professional,<br />
eloquent and polished? I have since learned that most of an<br />
NVP’s strengths are refined on the way to the top, just as a runner who<br />
has decided to run a marathon does not wake up the first morning of<br />
training and attempt to run 26 miles. Realistically, they get up and run a<br />
short distance, knowing that their strengthening and building endurance<br />
will be getting them to the finish line. A business builder with <strong>Arbonne</strong><br />
must also plot their course, set their sights on the finish, and know that the<br />
qualities they already possess will be tested and refined, and result in an<br />
NVP who shares knowledge from the experience.<br />
Tap into the strength of your human spirit. We have all heard stories of<br />
people who have beaten the odds, who have overcome immense trials to<br />
reach their goals. If you were to tap into a fraction of the strength of spirit<br />
and sustain it, nothing could stop you from reaching to your goal. Do<br />
that and expect to experience success, not only in your <strong>Arbonne</strong> business,<br />
but in all aspects of your life. Do you have a goal and dream of a cer-<br />

Stephanie’s Why: Ethan.

tain life that you want to live? Are you living out your passions? Are you<br />
spending time with the people you love?<br />
Two-and-a-half years ago, I was a fitness director and personal trainer at<br />
a country club in Edmond, Oklahoma. I loved many aspects of my job and<br />
had fun helping people with many of their health and fitness goals.<br />
However, I was also a wife and a mother, and I loved this job even more!<br />
My hours of working early in the morning and at night did not serve my<br />
family’s schedule. My husband and I had dreams for living our lives together;<br />
and we did not see a way that our current jobs were going to provide<br />
financially what we needed to make those dreams come true. We had a<br />
long list of desires. We wanted to have another baby, and of course, not<br />
have to put her in daycare. We wanted to give our children the chance to<br />
travel the world, instead of just learning about it through pictures in a book.<br />
Our debts and financial responsibilities limited us in the decisions we could<br />
make for our family. Does this sound familiar? My dream was to invest my<br />
time and money so I could leave a legacy for our children and many generations<br />
to come. I had so many desires to fulfill, but up to that point, did<br />
not have the finances or time to attain them. That is no way to live. Have<br />
you reached a crossroads? Are you fed up with what you have now and<br />
want to do something about it? I was. Now is your chance to create the life<br />
you choose and to grow into the leader you were meant to be.<br />
Along my journey I have had many people who have been my support and<br />
cheered me on to the finish line of NVP. First, I must thank God for guiding<br />
me in this life toward the destiny He set out for me. With Him I can do<br />
all things. He has blessed me with a family that humbles me.<br />
To my wonderful husband, Joey: I fall in love with you more each day. You<br />
are genuine, faithful and strong. You have always been my biggest fan and<br />
support me in so many ways. I watch you with our children and smile<br />
because you love them so well. To my biggest Why, my precious children,<br />
Ethan and Chloe: No words can describe how much mommy and daddy<br />

love you. You are my motivation, joy and heart. Ethan, our big boy — you<br />

us laugh and keep things fun. Thank you for the encouraging words, hugs,<br />
prayers and being so patient. You are a great big brother to your little sis,<br />
and she looks up to you so much. God has big plans for you! He has also<br />

could have ever expected. You light up my heart! To my mom and dad,<br />

Vickie and Rob Fisher: Thank you for introducing me to<br />
<strong>Arbonne</strong> and for loving us always. To the rest of our family: I want to say<br />

We also have friends who support us and treat us like we are family. Thank<br />
you to the Fuzzell’s and Smittle’s. True friendships like yours are priceless!<br />
I could not have done this without the guidance of the best upline, ENVPs<br />
Neta Irwin and Joyce Owens: Neta, you are my coach and motivated me<br />
to look at this business and the obstacles as not only failures, but successes<br />
waiting to happen. Thank you for your support. To my sponsor, Joyce:<br />
You are the wind beneath my wings! You have been the <strong>Arbonne</strong> momma<br />

me. I must say I have met no one in this business who knows<br />
how to love and nurture others better than you do. I have the privilege<br />
of calling you a friend.<br />
And, of course, big dreams like this do not happen alone — it is only<br />
from the persistent and concentrated efforts of my incredible team. I<br />
dreamed all of you into my business and you all are better than I could<br />
have ever imagined. I am humbled each day to be your NVP. To ERVP<br />
Paula Winter: You are an ENVP-in-the-making. Your hard work and<br />
persistence has already paid off and I cannot wait to see where your<br />
<strong>Arbonne</strong> journey leads. You are a leader and example to so many.<br />
You walk the talk and encourage others along the way. To RVP Tiffany<br />
Crosier: You are my best friend first and foremost. I love having the<br />
privilege of working with you in this business — and what a ride it has<br />
been! Your work ethic amazes me. You are so professional, savvy in<br />
the midst of this numbers game and love the people on your team so<br />
well. A genuine heart is what you are. To RVP Azure Winter: Girl, you<br />
have got it going on! I love that <strong>Arbonne</strong> has brought us together and<br />
developed a friendship that has shown me a leader who is unstoppable.<br />
To RVP Krystal Wahlers: I love watching as you help create so<br />
many dreams for so many people. You always have a smile on your<br />
face and are making people do the same. Your boldness and heart<br />
have taken you past what most would have stopped at. To AMs, Julie<br />
Bennett, Caroline McCormack, Bonnie Webb, Sara Abbott, Kelly<br />

Your hard work and influence will pay off. To all the DMs and<br />
Consultants who are the heart of this team: You are courageous and I<br />

President Rita Davenport has defined success as living the life you<br />
choose and making a difference doing it. She says, “If you have a<br />
problem and money can fix it, then there is no problem.” This is true<br />
when you are building a business with <strong>Arbonne</strong>. Time and money are<br />
often what we lack in getting started, but all you really need is the<br />
desire to create it. Now, it is your turn to step up to the starting line.<br />
The gun has already gone off. The path has already been paved, and<br />
there are runners in front of you to show you how to get there. Decide<br />
to run the <strong>Arbonne</strong> “marathon.” Whether you walk or sprint, it does not<br />
matter. So long as you finish, you win!<br />
