Arbonne Independent Consultant, National Vice President
Valerie Waite Nation; Moyock, NC
Life is too short not to spend each day the way you choose. I’ve found
that it is possible to live that way, through Arbonne. With hard work and
valerie waite
persistence, you can take this business all the way to the top. If you can
be friendly, self-motivated and a good copycat, you can achieve success,
and in turn have the ability to reach your dreams. What is success? It
is living the life you desire by spending your time and finances the way
you choose. The definition of success is not living the life someone else
chooses for you.
I never really knew anything like Arbonne existed. My elementary school
teaching career made all of my choices for me — my schedule, my vaca-
tions, my family time, how much I could squeeze into the offering plate …
what for? Why couldn’t I have more so that I could give more, be more
and do more? When I was first introduced to Arbonne, I never would
have believed that in one short year, I’d be a Regional Vice President
driving a white Mercedes-benz, nor did I expect that I could more than
replace my teaching salary. I never imagined that two years later, I would
be a National Vice President taking trips to Hawaii, Cancún and Paris.
Valerie’s Why: son, Greggor.
I first learned of the Arbonne business opportunity at a spa party hosted
by a friend. I listened on the edge of my seat as Katie, my soon-to-be-
sponsor, shared about the products and opportunity. Honestly, I thought
there was no way I could do this business because I was so busy with
teaching, coaching, earning a Master’s degree and working another
part-time job! I lived in a tiny town and didn’t know very many people. I
had no sales experience.
Valerie’s son, Greggor.
somehow, though, as I sat there listening to Katie, I knew I needed to
take the information home with me. It was summer vacation and I was
busy getting ready to start my first-grade class again. However, I had just
spent my summer trying to think of little businesses I could start on my own
so that I could get out from under a boss. As I sat in church on sunday
a few weeks prior to the Presentation, I began praying that God would
bring something like this into my life. I still have a little red piece of paper
in my bible that I was writing goals and ideas on. You see, I knew there
was more for me and that I could do something that would allow me
to be a stay-at-home mom and not worry about money, yet still make a

difference in people’s lives.
The turning point for me was when I was talking to eNVP shelly Nelson
on the phone. I wanted to get more information and find out exactly what

With Arbonne, the closer you get to the top, the nicer the people are.
Just look at President Rita Davenport! You never know what is going
to happen in life — I am so happy that I prepared by jumping into
Arbonne. God blessed me by bringing this business into my life and
I do not know what I would do without it. I get to live the best life
ever now, and I am so humbly grateful for it. I would have to say that
the most marvelous aspect of Arbonne is that nothing can stop you.
The reality is that anyone who puts his or her whole self into it can
be successful at this business. Do you want to live your best life ever?
Words are not enough to thank my dear team, my friends and my
family. I am where I am because of you. You lifted me up when
you didn’t even know I was down. I love each and every person
who is part of my Arbonne team and I am so blessed to have you,
not only as business partners, but also, more importantly, as dear Valerie in Hawaii with her mom, dad, Greggor and President Rita Davenport.
friends. I pray for you and I know that with consistency and hard
work, you will all be NVPs!
Thank you, God, for keeping me in the palm of your hand and
helping me grow into a leader, and for giving me the grace I need.
Thank you for all of the amazing blessings I get to enjoy and help
others enjoy with Arbonne.
Thank you to my family, especially Mom, Dad, Daniel and my sisters,
Julie and Laura. I love you all so much. Mom and Dad, you instilled
values in me and taught me that a hard work ethic, honesty and a
positive outlook are key in life.
Finally, I would like to thank my upline for all you have taught me.
I’d especially like to thank President Rita, because you are the best Future VPs on stage at NTC 2010 Las Vegas!
