Abby & Dustin Tormondson KANSAS Goals to Enhance Lives

Abby takes the time once or twice a month to reach out to her customers and thank them for being loyal Melaleuca Members. She’s there for her customers, and they know she cares. Like many who build a Melaleuca business, when Abby found Melaleuca, she needed a way to make extra money to cover her bills. She needed to pull her family out of their struggling financial situation. She rescued her family and is now passionate about helping others find stability. “I heard National Director Sandy Grippo say that it’s not if life happens, it’s when ,” Abby says. “That struck me because I’ve had life happen to me, and Melaleuca was there when we were going through it. Everyone needs a supplemental income or a plan B of some sort for when life happens. I feel like I need to show people there are other options.” Abby works as a cosmetologist as well as a Marketing Executive. While she faces ups and downs in her work—as many cosmetologists do—she and her family have enjoyed the stability of her Melaleuca business. “Having a supplemental income from Melaleuca has made a huge difference for me,” she says. “I know others who do hair who would benefit from Melaleuca’s reliability.” Abby sees Melaleuca as an opportunity to help other families find peace of mind, and her 2021 goals reflect that. “I set more goals about helping others than I do about my own income,” she says. “I know that when I focus on other people and make this a business about helping others, I’ll do so much better than if I focus on myself.”

Abby Tormondson has figured out what it’s really all about: others. She doesn’t see others as assets to growing her business and making a lot of money. She sees others as people to care for and appreciate. Her customers can feel this and know that they can come to Abby if they need anything. “Most of my business builders started out as customers,” Abby says. “Some maybe wanted to build a business at first but didn’t put in the effort and just became regular customers. And then a couple years later, they decide they want to build the business. I just never give up on anyone. “One of my teammates, Devan Rothers, advanced to Senior Director last month. She was one of the very first customers I ever enrolled. I called her about the business side because I knew a supplemental income could really help her. But she didn’t decide to build a business until a year and a half later. Throughout that time, I didn’t push the business on her. I just stayed in touch with her and appreciated her as a customer. The time came when she was ready. Never give up on anyone because you never know when their time is going to come. Just love on them where they’re at until they’re ready.”

Abby found her home when she stepped away from the MLM world to build a Melaleuca business. “I feel motivated that I can help people here,” Abby explains. “I have so much confidence in Melaleuca, and I don’t ever get tired of doing the Seven Critical Activities because I can do good here.”
