Jennifer & Jason Hughes NEW MEXICO Living Life on Their Own Terms

“Jen is an introvert, so starting a Melaleuca business was a challenge,” Jason explains. “Still, she pushed through and gave it 100%. She would often leave the house at 8 a.m. and didn’t come home until after 5. That’s how dedicated she was.” After two months, Jennifer asked Jason to work with her. He did, and the dark cloud that had been hanging over Jason’s head since their move to New Mexico lifted. “I felt like I had purpose again,” Jason says. Together, Jennifer and Jason began setting goals. Within six months they reached Senior Director status. Within 12 they became Executive Directors. “Jen and I set our own schedule,” Jason says proudly. “We’re working our business full time, but we’re able to sleep in when we want or spontaneously go on a trip. We’ll visit family for a week or two and end up staying for a month. You can’t put a price on that kind of freedom!” The financial freedom was also life changing. Jason deferred his student loans for a year, and in one day was able to pay the last of them down. “I dropped $20,000 and walked away,” Jason says. “It was a giant weight off my shoulders.” Being debt-free is important to Jason and Jennifer, but it’s the quality of the products that inspire them to keep sharing Melaleuca with everyone they meet. Jason’s favorites include the Peak Performance Pack , FiberWise® , and Luminex® Mood Support . “When I think of Melaleuca, the word ‘integrity’ comes to mind,” Jason says. “This company really cares, and they go to the next level to prove that their products truly are better for you.”

Executive Directors 3 Jason and Jennifer Hughes have always wanted three things out of life: financial stability, time freedom, and the opportunity to help people. Through Melaleuca, they’ve been able to achieve these goals and more. “We’re blessed to be able to help people with their health and financial well-being,” says Jason. A former medic in the US Army, Jason has always felt it is his calling to serve others. One of his favorite memories is watching family friends cry tears of joy at receiving their first Melaleuca check. “They’d been trying to make ends meet, and I’m so happy that we could enhance their lives through this business.” Jason and Jennifer understand what it’s like to struggle financially. After moving from Dallas, Texas, to Roswell, New Mexico, money was tight. They were working over 40 hours a week for paychecks that barely covered living expenses. That’s when Jennifer decided to try building a Melaleuca business. “She did it for me,” Jason says. “I became depressed with our situation, so Jennifer said, ‘If it brings your spark back, I’ll get out of my comfort zone.’” For 90 days, Jennifer put her heart and soul into building her contact list—overcoming her fear of talking to strangers and connecting with potential customers at events and coffee shops.

“To be successful in this business you have to step outside your comfort zone,” Jason says. “Wherever you are—be it the coffee shop or the grocery store or an event—introduce
