After a detailed presentation of her methods, processes, and strategies (and plenty of positive energy), Katie echoed the presenters before her and encouraged the attendees to keep persisting. “Do not stop. Keep going!” she urged. “Find your tenacity! There are people out there who are drowning, and they are looking for a home.”

“We have a responsibility to protect Melaleuca,” she admonished. “You are part of an elite group.” Beth has always kept in mind what Melaleuca has done for her and what that has meant for her, her family, and her team. “You cannot lose your momentum; don’t lose sight of the fight.”

Be persistent. Take action. Gain momentum. And no matter what, no matter your failures or flat spots, don’t stop or slow down! Make Melaleuca your home, and help others do the same.
