I started my Arbonne business shortly after the birth of my twins. I had three children under three at home and had no idea how I was going to leave them each day to go back to work, let alone be able to afford the daycare costs. I wanted so badly to be at home with my kids, watching them grow, learn and laugh. Yet I also wanted to be able to step away from that, get out of the house, be just Carly once and a while, and bring in an income to help support my family. I wanted the best of both worlds, and I was not going to give up until I found it. There was no way I was going to go back to my J.O.B. and plan my family life around work. I needed to make my own schedule. I needed to be able to be there for my family in the drop of a hat. I needed ownership. I needed control over my own economy. I needed to believe in what I was doing and what I was going to be providing to other people. (I totally get that this all sounds completely unrealistic, but I was not giving in until I found it!!! In my mind, there HAD to be a way!) Luckily, Arbonne held the opportunity for me to have all of those things. I love that I can share safe, beneficial, result-driven products with others. I get to educate them on what they should be looking for when buying personal care products, how to read a label, and the many ingredients they need to be staying away from and why they can be so harmful. I love that I can work when I want to work, where ever I may be, from my smartphone, in the little nooks and crannies of time I have in my very busy life. Most of all I love that I get to show other people how to do the same. I get to help others take ownership over their lives and make positive changes for the future, whatever their goals may be! During my journey with Arbonne, I have met so many amazing, positive people. I have traveled. I have dove into personal growth, when I didn’t even know I wanted to do so. I have grown so much! This is an amazing company with amazing support to help each and every one of its consultants reach their dreams. I now spend my days playing with my kids…and am starting to see just how precious that time is….yet I still am able to support my family financially. I can help make a change in other peoples lives, and hopefully I am passing that down to my children so they too will do the same one day. Anything is possible if you set your mind to it. Step out of the “norm” and strive for greatness! #livinthedream #Arbonnechangeslives #beyourownboss
