Wellness Overview to the rest of the staff. “Esther’s presentation came at the right time. We had a mortgage and bills to

three years to visit relatives in Hawaii and the USA. “While we work hard to reach our goals in Melaleuca, the celebration that follows makes everything worth it! You don’t get the same kind of rewards for working hard in a job,” says Asenita. “For example, when Moana came with Mel Frazer, Director of Sales and Natalia De Silver, Events Manager to see me in her new Senior Director car, I went shopping for my car with her the very next day!” Now enjoying the financial benefits that comes with becoming a Senior Director, Asenita’s fondest memory this year is of her trip to Fiji for the Standing Senior Leadership Council. Having visited long ago, she was thrilled to return to Fiji again after so many years. Everything seemed new and she visited places she’d never seen before. Apart from the fun they had, the expenses-paid trip was a valuable learning

pay, and just one income,” says Asenita, whose two younger children are still finishing their Masters Degrees. “I saw in that presentation more hope than any job has ever given me, or ever will.” A community representative for her church council, Asenita frequently comes into contact with people needing financial assistance. What gives her the motivation and courage to keep sharing Melaleuca with everyone she comes into contact with is empathy. “You know, when

‘Hard-working’ and ‘dedicated’ are just two ways to describe brand new Senior Director 3 Asenita Tiseli. This lovely mother of four grown daughters (aged between 22 and 35) had been in the corporate world of banking for over 40 years. Up and leaving a long-standing career at the Bank of Tonga to move her family to New Zealand in search of a better education, Asenita has worked incredibly hard to support herself and her family in a completely new country. Determined to achieve exactly what she set out to do, Asenita gained a valuable position working within the Bank of New Zealand and then the Ministry of Health, where daughters, we’ve had some pretty big bills. It was ‘all work and no play’ for my husband and me. He had always been the main breadwinner, until a blocked artery and heart operation put him out of work about a year ago. As much as he wants to go back to work, he’s been ordered by his doctor to recuperate for two years.” It was in the midst of this life change that Senior Director 8 Esther Tevaga showed up at Asenita’s office to do a Delivering she’s been for the last 17 years. “With four academically-inclined

I put myself in other people’s shoes, and

feel their pain, it’s easy for me to do what I do. I know how to help them. I have a solution to their pain and they have a choice

experience. She’s now reduced her full-time work hours to just one day a week, so that she can

focus on building momentum in her Melaleuca business for four days every week. “I’d like to advance my business every month, and my next goal is Senior Director 6 in the

to accept or forego it. I get to

share wonderful products and an income-generating opportunity with others. I could not have built this business without empathy or compassion.” Another benefit of building a business is the fun that comes with it! Asenita remembers a time she had to work hard for a three month vacation once every

next three months.” Ever grateful for the lifestyle her Melaleuca business has given her, Asenita’s advice to every business builder is to “Just go out and do it. Don’t stay home waiting for success to come to you. You’ve got to chase after what you want!”

“I get to share wonderful products and an income generating opportunity with others. I could not have built this business without empathy or compassion.”
