EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS 2 ADVANCEMENTS NEW
Joey & Heidi Rucks COLORADO Finding Success and Personal Development
says. “That fact that we could lead a team and truly change people’s lives was the biggest accomplishment. It was incredible.” And while they have experienced “life-changing” success with this year’s corporate Fast Track, their daily activities haven’t changed. “What it comes down to is just being consistent, being disciplined, and doing the little things over and over again every day, even if you don’t feel like it,” Joey explains. “You have to take yourself out of the picture,” Heidi adds. “When you focus on helping your team, you wake up and find you advanced yourself, but it’s only because you were fighting for others. That’s what I love so much about Melaleuca. Now all my goals are about helping the girls on my team advance.” The Rucks have paid off their debt, and they are now saving for a down payment on a home, but additional income isn’t the most important thing they’ve gained from their business. “I’ve had to fight through a lot of insecurities,” Heidi explains. “But Erin believed in me when I didn’t believe in myself. She saw the potential in me and gave me the tough love I needed to hear. She challenged me. The person I am now and the person I was when I first enrolled are completely different. They are not even close.”
The Rucks’s introduction to Melaleuca began with a tongue-in- cheek post on social media after cleaning their oven. “I posted something like, ‘Pray for our family. We’re upstairs locked in the room. I don’t know if we’re going to make it out alive because the toxic fumes are so bad,’” Heidi laughs. “And then Corporate Director 5 Erin Clark messaged me and said, ‘Girl, I’ve got some products for you.’” It’s a firm belief in the products that now forms the foundation of the Rucks’s business. “If you’re going to have success in this business, you have to be a product of the products,” Joey says. “Figure out which ones you love and then go share them with others.” “And don’t overthink it,” Heidi adds. “You don’t need a perfect script or perfect verbiage. Realize you’re just having a conversation. Share something you love and then invite them to an Overview.” Heidi admits that she was just “feeling out” Melaleuca in the beginning, but all that changed when they participated in the 2019 Corporate Fast Track. The Rucks saw their business advance to the Senior Director ranks, but that wasn’t the biggest change. “I realized that I was capable of being a leader,” Heidi
“It’s exciting to see this business changing other people’s lives,” Joey says. “Melaleuca is truly something that can help others. And no one gets hurt here. Worst case scenario, you end up with laundry detergent and toilet bowl cleaner.”
