New Beginnings
Posted by Kristy on April 25, 2008
Well, this is new beginnings indeed. I became an Independent Consultant with Arbonne International on April 19, 2008. It is my hopes that this blog will allow my readers into my thoughts and experiences concerning Arbonne and its products. I hope that you can see that Arbonne can be done by even the most nieve and seemingly insignificant person who has hopes and dreams.
In our day and age here in America, a man or woman is confined to the demands of this fast paced society where the “American Dream” isn’t much of a dream at all. People become stoic about life and wake up each day just to find themselves back in bed and not really knowing where the day went. Our lives are made up of a lifeless routine and we aren’t able to provide for others what we truly wish we could. We want the best for our loved ones and it seems we are never able to deliver.
That, you could say, would be one of my ”Why”s of jumping into a network marketing business. I know nothing about business or marketing so this is very much a new beginning for me. I have a great upline (which are the women who I’m under in the network marketing. We are a team and they have the knowledge and experience to help me out whenever I need it), and nothing to lose.
One of my biggest ”why”s is to do ministry and have the funds to bless others. It is true that once a consultant gets up to Regional Vice President they are given a Mercedes Benz and then the money to pay it off each month, but honestly, that is not my current desire. It could be yours, sure, but I would rather bless someone with my earnings.
Another ”why” of mine is my desire to one day be a stay - at - home mom. Again referring to our culture, I think it is vital that parents be the ones to raise their kids, and set good examples for them, and so I am going to do all I can to be a right and godly model for them. I can’t do that if I have a full time out of the house job that I have to go to in order to make ends meet. It is a rarity for a family to live off of one income these days.
Well, we shall surely see what happens with all of this and I am excited that I’m not alone on this journey.
May all glory and honor go to God, because if He were not a part of my life, then who knows where I’d be.
God bless you all!
