forward, getting ahead of their own goals, lifting each other up, and growing together.” Growing her team fast was a natural consequence of her community-centred culture and upbringing. “It’s very easy to get a big group together to present to and train as we are a close-knit community and enjoy doing things together. I have not done many one-on-ones actually. I’m always presenting to a fairly large group.” Besides working in her business, Esther works on her business by taking advantage of the tools in her back office – particularly the M.O.R.E. report. “I am target-focused, and rely on the information in my M.O.R.E. to give me an indication of where my business is at, and what I need to do to get it to where I want it to be.” Fast on her way to advancing to Executive Director this year, Esther says she’s not approached her cold market yet. “Everyone in my business currently is a family member, friend or friend of a friend. There are so many more people to reach out to. There is no limit to what we can do.” While $200,992.92 in cumulative earnings this year with Melaleuca has been incredible, Esther remembers a time in her life when she was working at the Air New Zealand check-in counter at the airport and dreaming about being on the other side of the counter checking in her own luggage and leaving for a holiday. When her marriage ended and she had to raise her now 29-year- old son alone, she could have chosen to go down the path of depression and living on benefits. Instead, she strove for personal excellence. “Giving up is not in my vocabulary. I’ve been brought up with values and beliefs that have kept me on the right track when the going got tough,” says Esther. “When you’ve experienced hardship and hit rock bottom, the only way to go is up.” Esther remains focused on helping her Melaleuca family find their “why” and realise the lives they’ve always dreamed of. “I love seeing people rise above their circumstances. I encourage everyone to do something today that their future selves will thank them for. For those who want mentoring, I simply tell them to say what their mentor says, and do what their mentor does, and they’ll get what their mentor gets. That’s a fact. It really is that simple.”

In 2017 Esther Tevaga has grown her business month on month and in less than a year, in September 2017 she double advanced from Senior Director 6 to Senior Director 8. Not a stranger to advancing more than one status in a month, Esther’s most significant achievement was in May 2017 when she advanced from Director 6 to Senior Director 2. She attributes her attitude towards her Melaleuca business to having grown up with high-achieving parents who raised her to always “do things well, or not do them at all”. Just as she gives 100% of herself to her full-time job as a parliamentarian, she gives 100% of herself to her Melaleuca leaders and their teams every evening after work. “It’s mind over matter. It’s not difficult to do,” she says. “I think it’s important to help people in my community, and I’m fortunate to be able to do that in different ways in my corporate job and Melaleuca business. As I learn, I teach. I want our business builders to avoid some of the mistakes I’ve made, that they’re focused on quality enrolments, that they understand how to explain the Preferred Customer program to their potential customers, that they recognise that Melaleuca may not be for everybody, and that they’re duplicating the right habits and activities. I want to make that they are always moving
