Hi there
What was it about Avon that didn't work for you? I'm about to become a consultant for a different company (natural products ) and I'm curious to hear you experience?

Good luck!

What about babysitting? Working at a daycare center where you get paid and get a discount for your kids? Tutoring high schoolers? Housecleaning? Teach community ed classes in cooking/crafts/etc?

Hey K.!
I have heard a lot about Arbone (sp?) and from what I have read and learned from friends they have great products! I tried the product but it didn't work for me. I have had 5 friends who have also tried to sell it but it didn't work out for them. I don't think they were real motivated to make money with it though. 3 of them do still use the products though!
If you ever are interested in finding a different product/company or just complementing your arbone business, I am with a company called Xango, a nutritional health supplement made from the mangosteen fruit. This product is changing lives around the world and giving people their lives back. The American cancer society list mangosteen fruit on their website and under other common names know by it says Xango. I have gotten off of 4 prescription drugs amd my depression has never been better! It gave me hope again when I had no hope left. I am happy to share my testimony with you if you are interested. This is a story I have heard over and over over the 3 years I have been with Xango. It is a great preventative, my husband and kids all drink it as well, a very strong anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory that builds up your immune system and returns your body to its natural state.
As you already know, it is so important to take care of the outside of your body with great products like Arbone. It is also very important to take care of the inside of your body as well. Xango will do that for you. It works from the inside out at the molecular level getting rid of the free radical junk in our bodies. It is much easier to Prevent a disease than try to heal a disease and sometimes it is too late.
I have 1 person on my team who is a Arbone distributor, she loves both! I don't know what the pay plan is for Arbone, I can tell you that Xango pays out 50% to it distributors each month.
I am in the process of expanding my team here in the twin Cities and since we are seamless, worldwide. If you are ever interested in Xango, please let me know. Maybe you know someone who could benefit from not only the health but also the wealth of xango. Please feel free to pass on my info!
I wish you much success! It is awesome to be your own boss>
God Bless!

Hi K.,

It seems these days that so many paychecks are going straight to daycares! My husband and I have a six year old daughter and I have fortunately been able to stay home with her with some odd jobs on the side to help out. I am formerly an elem. school teacher and will probably go back eventually. I know this sounds crazy, but I have tried 5...yes 5 party plan home businesses. As much as I liked the product of each one, home decor, makeup, etc and have been on the absolute ground floor with 3 out of the 5...I just couldn't stay motivated to schlep for parties, haul product around in big bins and leave home in the evenings when my husband got home. We never saw each other and I got burned out very quickly with each one. I have since sworn off ANY home business that required parties, quotas, inventory and/or hauling any and all stuff clear across town and back!!!!!!!
I had been introduced to Arbonne (natural skin care) 4 times each telling the consultant that I wasn't interested. I have been a consultant of SOME SORT for the last 5 years. I even tried the Arbonne product once and didnt care for it. It wasn't until last week that my good friend (and former makeup consultant)reintroduced it to me. I had noticed that her skin around her eyes looked smoother and less flaky than they had ever been. She was thrilled to hear it! She gave me the skin care kit that she had been using and told me to try it for 4-5 days while she was on a trip (she's also a flight attendant) I used the product the first day and thought it was so-so. I used it that night and felt the same. When I woke up the next morning, I noticed a big change in the way my face felt, and the way it felt to the touch. By the 4th day I was hooked. I didn't want to give the kit back! I knew I wanted to order the kit because I went back to my old skin care routine and realized what a difference Arbonne really did make. I asked my friend if she had any more info on how to order and this is the best part........
I could order it from her (she became a consultant today!)at full retail cost...or...I could pay $29 annual fee ($15 following years) and the kit would be 35% off. Talk about a no-brainer. After doing research (it seemed too good to be true) I was more and more amazed at what I found out. I am signing up to be a consultant tomorrow! By paying $29 and purchasing a kit at 35% off, you become a consultant!! The best part?? No parties, No inventory, No quota and HUGE potential for incredible income. My prayers were literally answered. The company is 27 years old and is just now making it's way to the Midwest. The product is incredible, and as a matter of fact my friend's aesthetician couldn't believe her eyes when she saw her skin during an eyebrow wax. She is also signing up! If you become a consultant you can choose to be a personal wholesale buyer (buy for yourself for a 35% discount or you can be a business builder by having people order from you. This is where the money making part begins. How do they do this and how do you make money?? By sharing the kit for 4-5 days. They either like it or they don't. If they do, and want to order, the best thing is to tell them about the $29 fee and lifetime discount of 35%, if they like that idea, then they become your first level of consultants on your downline. You would make commission on any product that they buy from then on. The best part about this is, they simply get on the computer, type in their consultant pin number, order the product and it comes directly to their house and you get the commission from it. You never again HAVE to do parties, go door to door, deal with returns, deliveries or inventory...and there is no quota from you unless you want to recieve commission and that only requires you to sell $65 of product per month!! You can tell I'm a little excited about it by my very lengthy email!! The women here in Minnesota that I've talked to are doing very well. Believe it or not, there is lot's more info to share!! Please feel free to email me with any and all questions. :)

Would love to share a kit with you to see what you think...
Have a great day,
K.
