E very month, I get the all of whom are changing their lives with Melaleuca. Enhancing lives is at the heart of everything we do, from creating quality products to offering customers an additional stream of income. It’s why our Compensation Plan is designed to generously reward business builders who help others reach their goals. It’s another reason why Melaleuca is seeing record-breaking growth and customer retention. Melaleuca truly is a business where anyone can succeed. To illustrate, I wanted to share with you three stories of North American families not unlike your own who are usingMelaleuca and it’s unique business plan to change their lives. opportunity to hear from hundreds of families from all backgrounds and walks of life, years before they decided to build a business. Susan would refer customers here and there, but she never thought of Melaleuca as a source of income. All that changed five years ago with the downturn of the US economy. Susan remembers looking out the window one Friday and seeing Jim being dropped off at home. She wondered why hadn’t just driven his company car home. “He worked for a building supply sales company,” Susan recalls. “But because of the economy people really weren’t building as much as they used to be, and he was laid off.” At the time, the Torborgs had an infant and four kids. While they weren’t happy about the change in employment, they remained positive a new job was just around the corner.

“I thought, ‘A new job will come, it always does,’” Susan says. “But it didn’t come quickly. We started going through our savings, and a month went by, two months went by.” Their savings was running out and the unemployment cheque didn’t even cover their mortgage. They found themselves using food stamps to help make ends meet. “I never thought food stamps would be a part of my life —never,” Susan recalls. “It wasn’t even an option. But when you want to feed your children and there’s no money coming in, you do what you have to do. Through all this, Susan kept thinking about Melaleuca. She’d read the Leadership in Action magazine, and she knew people were able to earn considerable income by referring customers to Melaleuca. “I said to Jim, ‘We need to become one of those families, because Frank would never lay us off. If we worked hard for this company, we could change our life and we deserve that,’” Susan says. Five years later, Susan and Jim are now a Senior Directors 7. In August, they dropped their oldest son off at college and were able to pay US$30,000 cash for his tuition. Susan now has her sights set on Executive Director. She knows that building her business not only blesses her and her family’s lives, but also the lives of everyone she shares Melaleuca with. Senior Directors

US$2,525 and right away they knew Melaleuca was a chance for them to earn some significant income. “I was in complete shock,” Lauren says of that first cheque. “We weren’t living paycheque to paycheque by any means, but I had ten years left on my student loans so there were no extras.” In the last six months, Lauren and Les have earned US$31,854 with Melaleuca. In this brief period, they’ve been able to pay off all their student loans! “Ten years of student loans paid off in four, five months—that was huge,” Lauren says. “And we also had a home equity loan.
