early Melaleuca income to purchase and remodel their dream home. They soon began purchasing other properties to start their real estate busi- ness. At about the same time, Aaron picked up a camera and learned he has a knack for taking photos—and has since become a well-known photographer in their area. Now he works full time managing their properties, taking photos, and supporting Erin’s efforts with their Melaleuca business. In addition, Erin’s uncle, cousin, and mom are employed by the Clark’s real estate business. Building a Melaleuca business has done more to bless the Clark family than they ever thought possible. Several years ago, Erin’s mom and stepdad ad- opted three young children. When Erin enrolled with Melaleuca, her mom’s inflexible work schedule made it hard for her to be the mom she wanted to be for her now teenage children. Erin’s mom
became one of Erin’s first Melaleuca customers, and they haven’t looked back since. Today, they have the freedom to make their own schedules so they can work together to juggle the responsibili- ties of their family and their businesses. “I’ve had dream boards for ten years, but I would never have pictured this,” Erin says. “My dreams were only a thirtieth of what has happened with Me- laleuca. I would have laughed at myself if I would have said years ago that I would bring home a $500,000 check and be completely debt-free.” Youwould think that advancing to Corporate Director 4would give the Clarks a chance to catch their breath, but they aren’t slowing down. “I don’t thinkwe’ve slept since enrollingwithMelaleuca to be totally honest,” Erin says. The Clarks own an Airbnb in a neigh- borhood that was recently decimated by a tornado. Though their house needs re-
pairs, it’s still standing—so they decided to find ways they could help the entire community recover. While helping at a fundraising event and distributing sup- plies donated by Melaleuca, Erin met a young single momwho had lost the home she was renting. The Clarks have taken her under their wing to help her get back on her feet. The same day Erin interviewed for this article, the Clarks signed on a new house that they will furnish and rent out to this young mom at an affordable rate. “Before Melaleuca, we were selling our own home just to pay our bills,” Erin says. “We were using the profit to get out of debt and just start over. Fast forward to today, and we just bought a house in cash that we’re going to rent to a momwho has nothing as she gets her life back together. Melaleuca has changed every single thing about our lives.”
