Starting My Business

I've recently started a home based business and have been meaning to blog about it for quite some time. Most people reading this blog understand my compassion for animals and know when I find something animal friendly I tend to support it. Well, I found Arbonne, or maybe Arbonne found me, and jumped in feet first. What I didn't realize is I'd land in an incredible opportunity to not only tote high qaulity products but to aslo create a lucrative long-lasting business and make good money.



It started when my friend Nichole recommended I try and all natural acne product. The more running I did the more frequent breakouts I'd have on my forehead. I gave it a try and needless to say LOVED it. Not only was it the ONLY product that actually worked for me, I felt good about using it because it's organic and vegan-certified, like all Arbonne products. The Clear Advantage set is similarly priced to ProActive but doesn't have any harmful chemicals with damaging effects like the industry leader.

When I started to learn more about the company, it's mission and it's products I wanted to get involved. So I did just that. I signed on as a consultant and starting selling Arbonne products. Because Arbonne is a hybrid of a Direct Selling Company and Network Marketing, we are the voice of Arbonne. There are no commercials and no models. We market. We model. And this is why we make money: no middle man to pay (i.e. models, actresses, distributers, retailers, etc).

I kicked of my journey with a launch party. At the party I served:

-Peanut Butter Protein Bars to highlight the yumminess and versatilty of the Arbonne Protein Powder
-Dark Chocolate covered almonds, raw almonds, wasabi soy sauce almonds
-Blue cheese stuffed olives
-Veggies, dip, hummus
-A cheese and cracker plate
- WINE: Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio

Unfortunately I failed to take a any photos of the spread. But below is a shot of the products I had on display.


We had a product demonstartion with my Regional Vice President and then went over the business opportunity. It was a lot of fun and by the end of the night I had many intersted prospects. That was back in February.

Since then, I've moved up to a District Manager position due to the amount of products I've sold and the consultants I've signed. I've recieved a few gifts from Arbonne to thank me for my success (jewelry, products and extra $$), and expect many more in the future. And I only do this part-time!!


ANd I've also discovered so many products I LOVE. You see, I already spend money on shampoo, lotion, make up, etc. Why not get paid to spend my money with a company I love?? I now regularly use their products daily: shampoo, body wash, conditioner, face wash, day cream, night cream, firming body cream, tinted moisturizer, minderal powder, bronzer, eye liner, mascara, hand cream....you name it I use it and it's all Arbonne. Because it's Arbonne I know it's pure, safe and beneficial for me and the planet. It's green, organic and vegan.


This has been an exciting journey so far. My goal is to reach executive Area Manager by September 1 and Regional VP by Feb. 1. I know I can do it. All I need to do is represent my company well and sow others how amazing these products are. I'm also looking for consultants to add to my team. There's a ton of opportunity with Arbonne and room for everyone at the top!!! If you'd like to learn more about the products or the business please reach out to me. a.byelich@gmail.com.

  2. Venturing into a direct selling company requires two essential elements: the company must have a great line of products; and you should be able to make sales whatever the weather may be. You mentioned you were given gifts for making a great number of sales and the consultants you’ve signed. That would be your biggest asset to grow successfully into this type of business. Keep it up!

  3. “Not only was it the ONLY product that actually worked for me, I felt good about using it because it's organic and vegan-certified” What you had is pretty important for a business owner. One of the ways to effectively put your own product for sale is to try it yourself and assess how effective it is. If it meets your requirements, then it probably has a chance of being a hit among consumers. Anyway, good luck on your business! :)

  4. What I like about a home based business is that you are the boss of your own time. Having the right attitude is what will bring you to success. Looks like you were born to be a businessman. Just enjoy what you’re doing. Keep it up!
