Bringing Her Plan B into Focus Amy Donovan Senior Director 8 Newfoundland and Labrador
Enrolled May 2020 In spring 2020, Amy Donovan watched in dismay as the vast majority of the weddings she was scheduled to photograph were canceled. As she issued obligatory refunds to equally heartbroken clients, she had no idea what to do next. “I had no work on the horizon,” Amy remembers. “I was in a panic. So I called my friend Executive Director 4 Jessi Harris, who I knew was building a business with Melaleuca. She showed me her business report, how many customers she had enrolled, and what that looked like financially. That’s when I decided I was going to do it too!” Amy enrolled 25 new Members the month after she enrolled and immediately advanced to Director 4! In that moment, she knew that building a Melaleuca business
was exactly what she needed to keep from depleting her savings as she waited for her photography business to pick up again. Since then, Amy has used her bonuses to help pay off debt and rebuild savings. In February, she traveled to Melaleuca Global Headquarters to receive invaluable instruction at Road to Executive Director. Today, Amy can hardly imagine what her life would have been like without Melaleuca. “It would have been a complete financial disaster,” she says. “I had no plan B—just some savings that wouldn’t have lasted long enough. Now I know I always need to have a financial plan B!” Amy loves that her new plan B with Melaleuca is helping her find better balance as her photography business recovers. Because of her residual income,
she can be more intentional about scheduling weddings while simultaneously shifting her focus back to what she loves most—taking portraits.
“I had no plan B—just some savings that wouldn’t have lasted long enough.”
“I studied journalism, but I didn’t like having to report on events that made me sad,” Amy says. “Photography was the happy part of that world. But even that happy part became stressful as I had to constantly look for new clients. Now I can just go back to shooting things I love, and it doesn’t even feel like work!”

she explains. “My Melaleuca income is helping me a great deal, not only to pay the bills but also to help support my parents. I love that the Car Bonus pays for my car every month.” Elizabeth is more than grateful for the additional income that allows her to enjoy greater financial security and peace of mind. “I run a dessert business,” she explains. “I’ve been selling desserts on the street for years. My work allows me to have control over my own schedule, devote time to Melaleuca, and spend time with my children.”
“Melaleuca really came to the rescue.”
“In recent years, I became very ill and was hospitalized,” she says. “I got out of the hospital, grateful to God for being alive, but the bills kept coming, and for nearly two and a half months I couldn’t sell my desserts. But my Melaleuca checks helped cover our expenses, and I even had some money left. Melaleuca really came to the rescue.”
