I was first introduced to Arbonne International at a home presentation given by a young woman who had been a nanny in
my neighborhood many years ago. At age 31, and now with four young children of her own, Kristen is building a successful
Arbonne business. I was very happy for her; I loved the products and purchased the anti-aging skin care system. I signed up
to be a consultant in order to be a wholesale buyer of the products. As a consultant I received my own ID# and was able
to experience the Arbonne website and shop online. I became intrigued by the quality of the business model; the free online
training, the generous compensation plan, the unlimited income potential, and the idea of being in business for yourself but
not by yourself. Before long, I was on the phone with Kristen, asking her to tell me more about this business opportunity.
She told me about the successful women (and some men) she knows in Arbonne, about the amazing support she receives from the
company, and about her income (including the Mercedes Benz she was about to earn from Arbonne). Arbonne sounded like a caring
company which encourages people to help each other and have fun while gaining financial freedom. These were some of the benefits
I was looking for in a career. I had been out of the work force for 15 years raising our three daughters. The idea of sitting
behind a desk, working for an hourly wage, and having my free time dictated by someone else was not appealing. I wanted it
all; to contribute to our family income and the college fund, to be available to my family, and to have time off when I wanted
it. My personal mission is to be the best leader that I can be by keeping balance in my life. Making time for fitness,
for friends and family and for doing the things I love helps me to stay focused. I want to enjoy the people I work with and
work with those I enjoy! I plan to go to the top with Arbonne and my mission is to take a team with me. I will teach others
the recipe for success and support them while they build their teams. We are open for business in Canada with a ground floor
opportunity. I am personally excited to be able to put this amazing gift into the hands of some of the wonderful women I have
met through WENS. Attending the WENS events has given me the opportunity to learn from some very creative women (and one
man so far). I have enjoyed hearing about the businesses people have created, and I am in awe of the energy and professionalism
in the room each morning we meet. The WENS format creates an environment where business relationships can be fostered, but
equally important, friendships can form. This is the philosophy I embrace for my business and one I admire. It is a pleasure
to be in the company of everyone at WENS on those very early mornings. Read more about Ana right here!

Business
Tip!
Be
Consistent!
When you first start your new business you can
expect a certain amount of time for your image,
procedures and systems to take shape. Within the
first 12 months work hard on developing your brand
while still trying to stay consistent with your
message. Its okay to make changes and shift ideas
that will result in more sales, so long as your long
term vision stays consistent without too many
drastic changes. Choose a tagline, a logo, your
colors, images, pictures and stick with it so that you
can build your brand.

In the more than 20 years during which I've been in
business, I've had the opportunity to explore many
marketing tools and approaches. By far, the most
effective has been through participation in various
networking groups. Sherry Thacker has the
networking formula down to an art ~ in fact, state-
of-the-art! Congratulations Sherry on your excellent
initiative!

MENTORSHIP
AND SUCCESS
By
Usha Thakur
If you luck into friendship, money, wealth,
success ~ then you will always live in the constant
fear of loosing it. If you build your friendship, money,
wealth, success ~ then you will live with the
confidence that you can rebuild, so choose to be a
builder.
Anonymous
People who build their success usually have the
wherewithal to hold on to it and build further; they
do not wait for luck to pave their path to success;
on the contrary, they pave their own path. And,
in paving their path to success these people stay
focussed and do not let distractions get the better
of them. They do this by being aware and then
internalising some fundamental and timeless principles
of success, of which mentorship is one.

Health
Tip!
2
Ways to Burn Body Fat!
Start
exercising first thing in the morning.
As soon as you wake up in the morning, workout for
at least 30min to an hour. Studies show that working
out in the morning has been shown to burn up to 3x
as more fat as opposed to working out at any other
time during the day. Here's Why:
During the day your body's main source of energy is
the carbohydrates that you get from eating your
meals. As you sleep at night for 6+ hours your body
uses up all those carbohydrates as energy for various
bodily functions that go on while you sleep. When
you wake up in the morning your body doesn't have
any carbohydrates as energy to use and it will look
to burn body fat instead for energy.
