from working with her in a different
direct sales company. One day while

kids’ school and work

family always knows where

class on a Tuesday, Ben
taught the class and gave
me a night to be home
with the family. This also
helps me teach Ben, just
like any of my other leaders,
how to do what I do in the
business.”
“We did Diamond Club two
times, and honestly I didn’t
want to do it the second
time. The reason I did it
again was to support my

my family. That pushed me
to get out there.”
