NATIONAL DIRECTOR ADVANCEMENTS NEW

Bonnie Wright UTAH Making Dreams Come True

a nightmare when you can imagine a dream coming true? Stay positive! I keep on believing in people and having faith in them until they can believe in themselves.” The down-to-earth practicality of accountability appeals to Bonnie. “I like keeping it real,” she says. “I’ve had the highest highs and the lowest lows. Building and growing together with your team means being genuine about your experiences. It strengthens the emotional connection that bonds a team. With accountability, no one builds alone.” As much as Bonnie likes to keep it real, however, she also says, “I wouldn’t want to be a realist. Remember the first person who ran the four-minute mile, ignoring all the ‘realists’ who said it was impossible? Let’s all be that person. People are going to believe something is impossible until it’s done, and then it becomes a magnet for others to try to do it too. So be the one to run all those four-minute miles in your journey with Melaleuca. Let’s run the race together and let’s all win!” Bonnie still has the vision board she made as a Senior Director with Marketing Executive of the Year on it—a goal she achieved, along with Team of the Year, in 2016. “For my next board, I’m going to have to step it up and put Corporate Director,” Bonnie says. “This is not about me—it’s about the team locking arms and advancing through life together.

New National Director Bonnie Wright has a wonderful “problem.” She keeps outgrowing her vision boards. “It’s just crazy!” she says. “I’ll do a new board, and pretty soon I’ll realize I need a newer one because I’ve accomplished the goals written. The board I have right now has National Director on it. I’m going to have to make another one.” Bonnie’s vision boards help keep her focused. “You have to set your mental GPS,” she says. “No one ever wandered their way to the top. When we keep our focus, we achieve our goals, and that is when belief blossoms.” Bonnie talks a lot with her team about dreams, goals, and belief because they are linked in the circuitry of success. “Belief is like electricity. I can’t see electricity and have no clue how it works. I just know that it does. Belief is like that. We don’t have to understand it for it to work. But if you don’t have it, you’re just going through the motions. Belief is where the magic is.” Bonnie has found that successfully building a business is all about managing your thinking. “Sometimes people don’t have enough belief yet and they may feel a little fearful, so they try to avoid the activities of business-building by conjuring worst-case scenarios of what might happen,” Bonnie says. “But why imagine

“I believe we bring about what we think about. I’m a National Director now! If this country girl can do it, anyone can do it. This is just the best of times. It couldn’t get better!”
