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.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

Things have started to go incredibly right for me. And although I have said I'm lucky, we all know that none of it is "luck." There's no fairy sprinkling special dust on me that allows everything to go right. Instead there's a 27-year-old woman with a drive to succeed, a hunger to build an empire, and an urge to make everyone around her amazed and proud. I've always been a go-getter, but now I'm the extreme version. I'm a business builder.

I'm using this term "business-builder" because it's loosely describes both my day job and my night job. By day (well, this job often involves staying at work until 9pm, but for all intensive purposes we'll call it a day job) I am the Business Development Center Manager for a large automotive group. I built the department, hand picked my 15 staff members, and continue to grow daily. The job of my department is to grow new business, retain current business, offer excellent customer service...ultimately make more money for the organization. I've spent hours researching, consulting with peers, sitting through webinars...all to learn how to run an effective Business Development Center. I've done it and it's rewarding. The hard work doesn't stop there, however. The market is constantly changing and therefore so must we. We're always looking for ways to better ourselves and will consistently be doing it bigger and better than our competitors.

Again, none of this happened because of luck. It all took a focused team, a supportive CEO, and a lot of hard work.

By night I'm an Arbonne Independent Consultant. In this world I am also a "business-builder." You see, if you can grow your network in Arbonne and set up a successful team that helps to train other women while still redirecting household spending you are golden. There are only 4 management levels in Arbonne and all are clearly defined. All you need to do is meet that goal in that time frame and you're making thousands a month. Once you hit Regional VP you get a free white Mercedes Benz. No strings, nothing crazy....just a free car.

Needless to stay I am working on building my network. The tricky thing is that there are too many people out there that don't see any value in hard work. They'd rather be handed mediocre things than work hard and get the big pay-off. NOT THIS GIRL. I've now seen the fruits of my labor in my full-time job and am applying those exact same principals to my part-time job. I'm going all the way and making it to the top. From an entry level job to a department head in a very successful department. From a consultant to a National VP.

Who doesn't dream about a beautiful home, a gorgeous luxury vehicle, the extra income to not have to pinch pennies?  A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

If you'd like to hear more about this exciting opportunity to succeed, make real money, and set yourself up for a prosperous future, please reach out to me. Arbonne can be as big or as small as you need it to be. Full-time, part-time...but I promise you that they will take care of you and offer you a chance to sell quality products and potentially change the lives of yourself and others. Be a go-getter!

"What is the vision you have for your life? What are the dreams and goals you have for yourself or your family? Do you have a plan to attain them or, have you forgotten how to dream because you are mired in the reality of daily life? Arbonne has allowed me to reshape the vision I have for my family and myself, and to dream bigger than ever before. The same is happening for many others who are joining me on my Arbonne journey."
