2015 Marketing

OF THE YEAR Executive

Executive Director 4 Bj Vaughan

What a year 2015 has been for Bj Vaughan! Not only did she advance her business to Executive Director 4 in December, she was also awarded Melaleuca Australia and New Zealand’s highest honour – Marketing Executive of the Year 2015!

What a journey it’s been for Bj. A single mother of two boys, she had few options and little income but she did have a strong desire to change her life and give her boys opportunities and choices. Rather fortuitously she enrolled with Melaleuca in August 2004. In the beginning things were slow and quite tough, she had to develop her skills and work hard. However it was her big heart, passion for the products and her natural instinct to nurture others that saw Bj attract others to Melaleuca. Fast forward 10 years and her life has been completely transformed! Now a master at enhancing lives, her Melaleuca business provides her with a six-figure income that affords her the time freedom to live a wonderful, healthy lifestyle on the Sunshine Coast. Frank always reminds us, “A Melaleuca business can be built anytime by anyone.” So after a few years’ of maintaining her business and enjoying her residual income, Bj reevaluated her goals at Convention 2015. “The theme at Convention was A New Day and it resonated with me. It could be a new day for me! I made the second life-changing decision I’ve made with Melaleuca, right there at Convention: to give the lifestyle I enjoy to others.”

“I had already helped Diane Alca and her personals Tanya Wieden & Dean Bennett start their Melaleuca businesses but I loved working with them and wanted so much more for them.” Bj put into action a very simple plan for them: add names to your contact list and make approaches – every day! It’s Corporate Director 8 Eddie Bestoso’s plan, “Help your people become great approachers because when they are, they’ll become great business builders.” With her support, Bj helped Diane and Tanya & Dean reach Director 8 and Director 7 respectively but she didn’t stop there. In 2015, she helped seven of her personal enrollees advance their businesses to Director or above and in the process, she grew her organisation by over 300 customers. For some of you, this may seem like a huge undertaking but Bj has some very wise advice: “I am no different to anyone who wants to build a Melaleuca business; I control what I can control, how many approaches I make and who I work with. Success comes from doing the same things, over and over again and getting better at doing those things.”
