NEWEXECUTIVE EXECUTIVENATIONAL NATIONALVICE VICEPRESIDENT PRESIDENT Janet with ENVP Cecilia Stoll and members of the Houston team. eoa E Y E O N A R B O N N E INDEPENDENT CONSULTANT, EXECUTIVE NATIONAL VICE PRESIDENT janet flores COMMIT TO YOUR DREAM ENVP janet flores Independent Consultant, Executive National Vice President Janet Flores Nation; Spring, TX The Flores family. Can you imagine having a career you truly enjoy with the potential for unlimited income, a flexible schedule, supportive, encouraging business partners who happen to be your friends and the added bonus of helping you become a better, stronger person? you cannot do. Do not listen to these dreamstealers! Surround yourself with positive people and only listen to people who tell you what you can do. Fortunately, Arbonne is filled with people who will encourage you, support and cheer you on. You really can do this business if your Why is big enough. Allow yourself to dream. If you can conceive of your dream in your mind, then believe it in your heart; you are on your way to making your dream a reality! My dream was to be home with my children and still have choices. I wanted my husband to have choices, too. For years, we had been a dual-income family with few financial worries, but we were living a hectic life with very little time for relaxing and enjoying each other and our children. When we made the decision to slow things down a bit, I quit my job as a senior business analyst with a Fortune 500 company to be home full time with our girls, and I loved it. My Why was huge, so I made a total commitment to work as hard as I could and see if I could make it to RVP in two years. That was only 20 months ago. It took 10 months to become a Region. Two months later we were in qualification for Nation. That is when I really began to learn so much more about this business and myself. I learned things do not always happen according to my timetable. As a matter of fact, they rarely do. Because of another corporate downsizing, my husband changed jobs last year. Our family moved to Houston, Texas, in the same month I promoted to RVP. When you are in a new city, the opportunities are amazing, but in a way you are starting all over. It took a while to build up my personal business again. During that time, I learned once again how much fun Arbonne is! I could relate so well to brand new Consultants who were building their businesses, because that is what I was doing: Rebuilding my District, Area, Region and then, at last, becoming a Nation! Then, as so often happens, life threw us a few curve balls. Three times that year my husband, Leo, was laid off. The last time I was pregnant with our fourth daughter. Talk about stress! At that point, we had very few choices. We had to relocate our family, and for a couple of years, we really struggled, living paycheck to paycheck. In the back of my mind, I was hoping there would be some way we could climb out of debt and be financially free, without having to go back to the frenzied lifestyle we had known before. Honestly, though, I could not see how that was going to happen. I tried substitute teaching and another home-based business for a couple of years in an effort to help out financially and still be home with our daughters. Neither of those options made a significant change in our financial situation and I thought the only way out was going back to corporate America and a 50-hour workweek. The very thought made me feel absolutely hopeless. Finding Arbonne about two years ago was really the answer I had been looking for, although I did not recognize it immediately. I loved Arbonne’s products, but I am an accountant, not a salesperson! I was not so sure I could be successful with a network marketing business, having already tried another direct sales company. Then as I began to research Arbonne, one thing that impressed me so much was that the products are consumable and used on a daily basis. I know that repeat orders equal the potential for residual income. Another thing that really built my belief was living in Edmond, Oklahoma, where there is a high concentration of Consultants. So, I saw success all around me. Only the most hardcore pessimist could be surrounded with so much success and still not believe! I was so blessed to be in ENVP Cecilia Stoll’s Nation and learn from one of the best. One of the first lessons I learned from her is a lesson that you must learn as well. If you want to achieve a dream, you must possess mental strength. For some reason, there are a lot of people in this world who want to tell you what Janet’s four daughters, Holly, Megan, Sara and Julie.

I was in qualification for Nation for nine months and the last time it took me that long to accomplish something, I had a baby! Both experiences were worth the wait. Although I was eager to reach that last goal, I knew my journey was designed especially for me, and I found contentment in that truth. Janet’s Why: Daughters, Megan, Sara, Holly and Julie. I learned to embrace challenges and choose an attitude of optimism, joy and thankfulness for all I had been blessed with, particularly the women and men on my team. What a privilege it is to be your leader! I learned that while belief and attitude are so important, it also takes action to realize a dream.
