AdjustmentsAdjustment Day for January business is Tuesday 3 February.

Adjustment Day is an opportunity for Distributors who are moving through the Marketing Plan or qualifying for an incentive to place an order with Victoria Payne, in Distributor Support, in order to make up the case credits they need. Please note that adjustment orders will not be taken for qualification of Volume Bonus or Leadership Bonus – these orders must be placed within the calendar month. All application forms for Adjustment Day must be received by Forever UK Head Office no later than 12pm. Due to improved security, we now ask that Distributors send scanned applications and emailed orders via “DropitTo”, a secure drop box facility which protects all payment and personal information within documents. Orders and applications sent via email to Distributor Support will be processed but sent at your own risk. • To access “DropitTo”, Distributors must to go this webpage: www.foreverapps.co.uk.

• To access, you must then enter the password “aloe”. After entering the password you will be asked to browse and select a file (the scanned application form).

• After having clicked upload to load your selected document, a message will tell you after a few seconds if the file has been successfully uploaded or not.

• Distributor Support will securely access your information for prompt processing.

PLEASE NOTE: No applications submitted after 12pm will be processed.

• Only the Distributor using Adjustment Day to achieve a position in the Marketing Plan will be able to place an order. For instance, if team members in your downline are placing an order to help you reach position, you must collate these orders and submit them all together (we will not accept any orders that come directly from your downline or someone not going for a Marketing Plan position).

• You can only adjust a maximum of case credits per position that you are going for, e.g. 5CCs Supervisor, 10CCs Assistant Manager and 15CCs for Manager positions. (However this is not the case for Eagle Manager, Chairman’s Bonus or Global qualifications.) You cannot place adjustment orders at the Product Centre, through the Call Centre or online. Please call 01926 626629 only to place an adjustment.

The biggest adventure I believe that within all of us there is an adventurer. Some of us are risk-takers, some do or want to travel to all ends of the earth, others want to speak in front of thousands and most dream of exploring the unknown. However you define an adventure, there is an adventurer in all of us. Maybe that is why we all ended up in Forever together. Whatever your reason, I challenge you to reconnect with that reason, revaluate your ‘why’. We are on the precipice of yet another new year. 2015 is upon us, and with it, a blank slate. This year, I challenge you to choose your own adventure. Take some time to reflect on 2014. What were you able to accomplish last year? How? What will you achieve this year? One of the beautiful things about Forever is that you are able to create your own destiny. Your success is measured by your drive and commitment to yourself and your business. Like any kind of adventure, there are many options and important steps that you must take to achieve your goals. Choose your destination: January is a time for optimism and dreaming BIG! Will you join us at our next exciting destination for Global Rally 2016? Or maybe you’d like to earn some extra cash to use towards a new car with Forever2Drive? How about participating in the next Eagle Managers’ Retreat? Of course, you can achieve ALL of the above, and there are countless other exciting opportunities – simply decide which incentives to work towards. Plan effectively: Now that you’ve determined your goals for the year, how will you reach them? What people will you need around you to make your journey

fantastic? Build a roadmap from where you are now to your achievements in 2015 and set milestones to accomplish along the way – they will help you stay on course throughout the year. Be flexible: Have you ever been on a great trip and decided you needed to rearrange your route to see something you hadn’t planned for? Being adaptable to new challenges and opportunities you may not have planned for is important. Take a step back often to evaluate your progress toward your goals and make the necessary adjustments as you go. Have fun: Eleanor Roosevelt once said, “Happiness is not a goal, it’s a product of a life well lived.” Make sure you enjoy the journey and appreciate the things happening around you. Whether good or bad, try to find a reason to be grateful every day. Gratitude leads to happiness. I believe the greatest and most rewarding adventures are those that are shared, so don’t forget to make sponsoring new people a big part of your adventure for 2015. I can’t wait to see all of the amazing things you will accomplish this year!

A wakeup callI was introduced to Forever by my best friend Bethan Jeffries. She had joined the business a few months before and was keen for me to take a look as she felt it could be what I was looking for. Like Bethan, I am a teacher running a successful department. However, work-life balance had become a bit of a problem over the past few years; I had found myself working more and more evenings, weekends and holidays, merely trying to stay afloat. Bethan took me to a BP and I signed up on the spot, this was exactly what I was looking for.

I was captivated by the ethos in the business, where people’s achievements were openly celebrated and people were encouraged through development and training. Despite having a business degree, I had never heard of network marketing. I think it is an exciting concept

and I am really enjoying doing some reading and research around it.

I have managed to recruit a few friends and family and with their hard work I managed to get my promotion. I am hoping to develop my business and recruit many more people. One of the challenges I have faced is being more sociable. As a teacher, you can get into a little bit of a rut of not really speaking

to adults all day, then locking yourself up in your office during the evenings to tackle the mountain of work. However, I have had to become more sociable, so I can talk to people about the business and the products. This has done me the world of good personally and has made me a much happier person; I have even joined a few clubs as a result. This has been a complete wake-up call for me as I have realised there is more to life than teaching.

I am hoping to continue to recruit and develop a fantastic team and a solid customer base. Although I have no intention to quit teaching for the foreseeable future, I am happy in the knowledge that I will be able to one day. I am hoping to become Assistant Manager by March.

Make a change for 2015

Bob’s Message

The new year is an exciting time, almost like a new beginning, a blank canvas of a year ahead. What have you decided to paint on your blank canvas? As you reflect on 2014, what have you learned? Will 2015 be a repeat of your previous year, or have you decided to make some changes? Looking back can help us to reshape our future. If you had a great 2014, then maybe there are only small changes to make. If 2014 was a difficult year for you, then maybe you might need to dig a little deeper to find out what you need to change.

I believe that most of the time the change needs to come from us; from our thoughts and our actions. This is especially true when we can see so much evidence around us that this business really works for so many people. Why shouldn't it work for you, and why shouldn't 2015 be your

year? It all starts and ends with a decision – a decision to do whatever is necessary to move ourselves forward. Sometimes the decision to take action and make changes is thrust upon us by outside sources. Sometimes, and preferable, is that the decision to take action is self-generated, brought about perhaps by the recognition that we are more in control

of our destiny than we thought we were. I truly believe that shaping a positive future for ourselves starts with becoming better at managing our thoughts. If our circumstances are currently challenging, then our ability to have a better future will be determined by our ability to see past

our current circumstances. If we stay in our negative present we will never have the courage to make changes.

When we have an exciting view of what’s possible, it gives us the fuel to have a sustained period of consistent activity. A sustained period of consistent activity is what it takes to build a better future for ourselves.

All around you are success stories – people like you, working with the same opportunity that you have. Make 2015 your best year yet, it will be worth it. As we move into our brand new year, having broken all records in 2014, with over 50% growth, I look forward to sharing in your continued success.

Our five-year plan

Our names are Amber and James Richardson and we have two beautiful children: Charlie, who’s seven and Abi who’s four.

We were first introduced to Forever in February 2014. At that time, I was going to the gym and dieting, and my sponsor, Nicola, contacted me about the Clean 9. Initially, I felt it was the wrong time for me to do it, because James had just had his ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) repaired and we were preparing to get relocated to the south for James’ work commitments. Nicola approached us a further two-to-three times, but I felt again it wasn’t the right time.

Nicola never gave up on us, and she approached us again in April 2014 with the business opportunity. At that time I felt like I didn’t have much to lose, and on the 30th April, James and I took the plunge and joined Forever.

James has climbed up the career ladder over the past 17 years which has seen him having to work away from his family and miss the early years of his children’s lives, which has been hard at times. I was

a chat moderator for online bingo. I was on minimum wage and had to really put in the hours to get a worthwhile income, so was working 50-80 hours a week. Although this was home-based, I still had no time for the kids or family and it was difficult to get time off for holidays or important events. Things needed to change.

I love how the Forever opportunity has allowed me to cut my hours down to 35 a week, attend family events without rushing back for work and given me more quality family time. I am working closely with my best friend and husband and we have made lots of new friends – and reconnected with old school friends too.

We are aiming for our Manager promotion in January 2015, and I’m looking to make this my full-time employment by Easter. We have a five-year plan to build our business to a level which will see us achieve a substantial income so that James doesn’t have to work away anymore. We want to leave a legacy to our children, giving me full peace of mind that they’ll never want for anything.

Our daily routine with the business is to contact 15-30 people daily, always adding to our ‘Who-do-you-know?’ list, and attending trainings online and locally. One or both of us always attends Success Express events, trainings, and our local BP in Basingstoke. We also spend time helping our team with their planning and boosting their businesses.

The business cycle is simple to follow and we are building a secure and stable future, whilst teaching others to do the same. It is so worthwhile seeing them achieve, and it gives us a great sense of achievement too.

I love the freedom, time and friendships this opportunity has given to us. Here’s to 2015 and our five-year plan with Forever!

Video Marketing

Going viralRemember when social media first emerged and everyone was talking about how it would completely change the way companies approached marketing in the future – and how it seemed so unlikely? Now look at us; a world without Facebook or Twitter feels as distant and

alien as a world without electricity or cars. And it seems that video is set to revolutionise the marketing landscape in much the same way – in fact, it is already doing it. More than 100 hours of video footage is uploaded to You Tube every minute and the platform is now the second most popular search engine in the world. It is predicted that by 2017, 69% of all internet traffic will be generated by video alone (Cisco).

But what does this mean for businesses, or more specifically, for you as Distributors? Well, people aren’t just watching more video, it is also changing the way they view brands, as Chris Trimble, Director of Content at marketing agency, Axonn Media, explained in a recent article for The Guardian. “For any social media campaign, any SEO exercise, video is without doubt one of the best tools in the kit... seven in 10

people view brands in a more positive light after watching interesting video content.”

There is a plethora of research out there demonstrating the power that video has over consumers. According to Prestige Marketing, embedded video content can increase website traffic by up to 55%, and videos posted on Facebook increase viewer engagement with brand pages by 33%. And what do viewers do if they like your content? They share it, adds Trimble. “Engage viewers and they will share the video with others. They will spend longer on your website and more time interacting with your brand,” he says. Interactive Advertising Bureau research claims that 92% of all mobile video users will go on to share videos with others, demonstrating how it has become part of modern culture to interact in this way.

9Video Marketing

Video for your business

So, in a nutshell, video is big, and is only going to get bigger. That’s why increasing numbers of businesses all over the world are incorporating it into their marketing strategy – including Forever. Last year, we produced a series of animations based around our Christmas gift campaign. These were integrated with the launch of the aloe-inspired gift guide and gave a little visual snippet of our products in context for the festive season. These five short animations were designed so that they could be easily shared on social media platforms, and because we know that people are far more likely to share a video post than they are a text post (posts with videos attract three times more inbound links than plain text, according to Curata) they enabled you to widen your online reach in the lead up to Christmas.

Another campaign which has been built largely around video content and visual marketing is the launch of the new F.I.T. programme. For a topic such as weight management and body transformation,

video marketing is obviously going to have a deeper impact on potential consumers than any other form of advertising, because end users want to see physical results. Based on this principle, Forever created a series of promotional docu-style videos following people’s experiences with the programme

in a pre-launch trial – which proved extremely popular. For the new year, we are now encouraging Distributors and consumers to enter our new F.I.T. competition and a series of short promotional videos following some of the entrants are in the pipeline.

Matt O’Neill, Video and Content Editor at Forever, says that as video becomes an increasingly mainstream form of marketing, Forever is keen to tap into that trend.

“We understand the importance of moving with the times and keeping up with current trends,” he explains, “especially in the ever-evolving world of social media and online content.” Creating content that is suitable for Distributors and complies with EU laws and national advertising standards is now a key focus too.

“Video has seen a massive upsurge in recent years as developments in technology allow for individuals to make and edit their own videos from home,” he adds. “With this in mind, we are acutely aware of the need to create high-quality, shareable video content for Distributors that best represents our brand. We’ve been working on some exciting new projects and will continue to develop our video presence going forward – so watch this space.”

“We understand the importance of moving with the times and keeping up with current trends... Especially in the ever-evolving world of social media and online content.”

AVA

Cutting-edge technology at AVA

Jim Boggus, Manufacturing Manager at Aloe Vera of America (AVA), is in charge of the compounding and blending of Forever’s products, as well as their packaging. If Aloe Vera of America was a chocolate factory, we’d call him ‘Willy Wonka’. “I love the products so much, because I know what’s in them,” he says. “It makes me feel great that I can give our products to my family, and I am 100% confident in their quality. I also love being the best at something… What we produce here at AVA supports thousands of people locally and millions around the world. It’s an amazing feeling and makes me very proud of what I do.”

Jim’s latest project, the installation of a VMI platform, is one of AVA’s greatest investments towards refining the

manufacturing process of our household goods and Flawless by Sonya cosmetics. In fact, Jim says, “This is state-of-the-art equipment and technology for cosmetic and household products. It is also the largest, most technologically advanced of its design, and combined capacity, in the world.” In short, he boasts, we have “the Rolls Royce” of mixing equipment at AVA.

Expertly designed He worked with top engineering companies to design this custom packaging and blending equipment, an over 5.5 million-dollar improvement. “The blending technique has three types of agitation inside of it built into the tank, so we can induct all of our ingredients

“I love the products so much, because I know what’s in them... It makes me feel great that I can give our products to my family, and I am 100% confident in their quality.”

We take a look at recent technological advances at Aloe Vera of America.


11AVA

without ever having to stand on a ladder. “Basically, we’re introducing raw materials directly into the tank, so there’s no need to recirculate the product and have it go through a secondary process. The process is now all in one vessel.” This is some really exciting technology, but what does it really mean? AVA will now be able to manufacture its products

much more quickly. For example, it used to take about 24 hours to produce a bottle of our aloe MPD – now, it will only take about 8 hours.

Investing in your future Forever is willing to make such a sizeable investment because we want to be around for the next 30, 50, even 100 years making the highest-quality, safest and most efficient products on the market today. Other companies have told Jim that our blending and packaging equipment is the greatest they’ve seen in the world. Jim proudly states, “Safety, quality and efficiency are our priorities, and the VMI platform is the right tool for the job. Our Distributors can be confident that we have the highest state-of-the-art equipment for their products. Forever is going to redefine the industry. It’s not a question of whether we will or not, it’s simply a matter of when!”

And this is just a snapshot of what’s been going on at AVA. Watch this space for more articles on the latest advances that have taken place, and more reasons why you can be sure you are distributing the highest quality products in the global market today.

‘I feel privileged’

What was your working background prior to joining Forever?

I was a mum at home looking after two toddlers – my children are 11 months apart! I had a career before this in sales, working for a company that manufactured signs, signage systems etc. I got to go to some really cool places in London such as royal palaces, MOD buildings and prisons.

You’ve achieved a great many things in your time with Forever, including a Chairman’s Bonus cheque for over $23,000 last year. What has been your proudest moment so far and why?

My proudest moment so far was earlier this year; my son Zac passed his driving test and I bought him his first car with my debit card. That felt really amazing, it made me feel very proud and

reminded me why I set out to become financially independent – to be able to offer my children a good lifestyle without the stress of money constraints. My daughter, Jaye, has now just started her driving lessons too!

What has been most challenging for you and how have you overcome this?

I love the business and for the most part it is a simple business. The most challenging part is developing the right mind-set for continuous success. I have read books, attended seminars and in more recent years worked with a top level executive coach, Molly Harvey.

How important have incentives been to the growth of your business?

It was explained to me very early on how important the company incentives were to build the business correctly. In my first 18 months to two years in

Forever I’d achieved Senior Manager, 100 Club, Earned Incentive and was just about to qualify for my first ‘Profit Share’ cheque. Since then, every year the Chairman’s Bonus has been a goal – it’s life-changing. I have just qualified for my 12th cheque!

You are also an Area Development Director. What does this role involve?

I feel privileged to be the London ADD. This role has brought me into close contact with so many people, from all walks of life, all kinds of backgrounds, cultures and countries. I love it and have learned so much. I make sure the area has plenty of high quality Business Presentations and that all Distributors have access to the right kind of training, both on the team-building and product side of the business. I am a point of contact for Distributors who may not have a sponsor nearby – generally creating an environment where everyone can grow their Forever business.

Sapphire Manager is an amazing milestone to hit – congratulations! What’s next for you?

Sapphire has been a goal for a while; I guess I gave it a bit more focus this year! Achieving this position has made me realise what a fantastic business structure I have. My goal now is to support and help more of my Manager lines to go for their own Chairman’s Bonus. I now believe I can access the Level 2 pot, which will make life really exciting.

If you could give one piece of advice to someone who has their sights set on reaching Sapphire, what would it be?

I would say take your own journey, build a strong business by nurturing relationships with your team and you will have a life-long business, just as Rex intended – full of fun and adventure.

Everything just fell into place

What’s your working background? I work full-time as a lead midwife across two NHS hospitals that have been merged into one trust…It’s a very hectic job. I have a lot of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in the antenatal service, over 70 targets that have to be met every month, so everyone has to work very hard to ensure they are performing at the top level to meet the needs of pregnant women.

It sounds as though you have a pretty full-on career. How did Forever come into the picture?

I joined because of pension worries. It wasn’t because I didn’t enjoy my job – I love my job because midwifery is my passion. But I was looking at my pension and I just had this feeling that it wasn’t going to be enough – despite the fact that I also have two private pensions. I’m on a very good income, but when you retire, of

course, all of that stops. I was looking for something that could give me that peace of mind for the future.

Had you heard of network marketing before you found Forever?

No, I had never heard of it. When I was doing my Master’s programme in 2000, at first, I thought network marketing was to do with computers! When l joined Forever and l told people about it they just

laughed. However, what I had heard of – unfortunately – was pyramid schemes, as there had been something on the news about them, and the House of Lords passing a law making them illegal, stuck in my head.

What have you found most challenging about the business and how have you overcome these challenges?

Negativity from some people – people who do not know what you are talking about but make up their own minds about you, without listening to what you have to say. This doesn’t bother me now, but at the beginning it used to really bother me. That is why training and support from your upline are so important; having Jayne [Leach] and John Curtis as mentors – they have so much belief in me.

This business is about having a vision and it is important you have a strong emotional goal when you start building your Forever business. There is a quote

from Jim Rohn that I love and I always share with my team; it says that ‘The eyes that look are common, but eyes that see are rare’. A lot of people pass by an opportunity that could change their lives every day without seeing it. In this business, we are not telling people to come and do it; we are just telling them to take a look at the opportunity. If you like what you see, fine, if you don’t, that’s fine too.

What incentives have you achieved along the way and how important have these been to the growth of your business?

I’ve achieved practically everything there is to achieve, but at first I could not really see how it would affect my overall business. Then I qualified for my first Chairman’s Bonus and I discovered that my business had grown – everything just fell into place. Now I encourage people in my team to go for the Eagle Manager incentive because that allows them to get

to Manager as quickly as possible. And once you’ve qualified for Eagle Manager, you’ll not only qualify for that incentive, you will also qualify for the Earned Incentive programme along the way, which puts you on track to work towards Chairman’s Bonus the following year.

Has this business been what you expected it to be?It has been an amazing journey. When I do something I put my whole heart and my whole body into it – there are no excuses! I feel so passionate about Forever and my business. I really have to thank Jayne Leach and John Curtis, because if it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be where I am now. Every time I talk about them I feel emotional, because they worked so hard with me. I am forever indebted to them and my uplines Philomena Guandai and Eva Davies, and lastly my team. They are all such an incredible group of people who are also building incredible businesses and changing lives around the world.

Recruit for character When Walt Disney was recruiting executives, he would watch whether a candidate put salt onto their food before tasting it. He viewed this action as a sign of inflexible thinking; after all, if a person was not prepared to at least taste a meal before adding their own changes, this behaviour would transfer to the workplace. Ferguson used a similar device. He’d show young players their worst performance and ask them to tell him their thoughts about the game. He was looking for those who made excuses and those who learned from the experience.

Play to your strengths During the famous Treble season, Andy Cole recalls, “We used to watch videos of our upcoming opponents and I don’t think it did us any good because they were invariably the best bits.” The players approached Ferguson and suggested that they play to their own strengths and let their opponents worry about them. “We stopped looking at our opponents in such detail and look what happened,” Cole adds as evidence.

Ferguson understood his strengths and made sure that this was reflected in the culture he created. “I am a gambler — a risk-taker — and you can see that in how we played in the late stages of matches. If we are down, I am ready to take more

risks. I was perfectly happy to lose if it meant we'd given ourselves a good chance to win," he said.

Prepare for the worst Ferguson believed that “Manchester United never get beaten. We may occasionally run out of time but we never believe we can be beaten.”

This mantra was reinforced through the content of his training sessions. He would insist that players practised how they should play if a goal was required with five minutes remaining. “We practise for when the going gets tough, so we don’t panic, but instead know what it takes to be successful.”

Build cathedrals When people asked how you motivate young millionaires, Ferguson enjoyed telling a story of three men who were laying bricks. Each was asked what he was doing. "Laying bricks," answered the first. "Earning £10 per hour," replied the second. The third said: "I'm building a cathedral and, one day, I'll bring my kids back here and tell them that their dad contributed to this magnificent building."

Ferguson suggested to his players that they could apply these three approaches to their training sessions. “I'm just

practising,” would be the answer from the first player training. “I'm earning £1,000 per hour,” would be the second. The third response would be: “I'm helping to build the best Manchester United team ever and I'll be proud to tell my grandchildren I was part of it.”

On one occasion when David Beckham scored a goal, he ran off in celebration, shouting, “Cathedral 1, Bricklayers 0.”

Starting overMy husband George and I joined Forever a couple of years ago when Jayne Leach came to our house and showed us the business opportunity. At the time, we were desperately looking for a vehicle to change our lives. We were running our own trendy café bar in north London, which we ran for 18 years. We spent £60,000 to set up the business, which could have bought us a house in those days. We spent that money time and time again over the years, redecorating and re-modernising the premises to keep it up to date. We thought at the time that our business would give us financial security, holidays, and enable us to send our two children to private school as they were three and five at the time.

Most people thought that our business was glamorous and successful and that we were making lots of money. But in reality, we often worked 16-hour days and sometimes seven days and nights a week. We were totally exhausted, stressed, and physically burnt out. We were also getting further into debt as we fought against ever-increasing competition, recession, rising costs, and shrinking profit margins.

During this time, we managed to get to Supervisor position within Forever, pretty much without a team. We sponsored a few people who mostly dropped out or didn’t work the business. We decided that to progress properly we needed to sell the restaurant. Eventually we managed to do so, but at a very low price. My family knew our financial predicament and were bemused at our decision to sell the restaurant to focus on Forever. This certainly affected my confidence; I lost focus for a while and became a little disheartened. I hadn’t progressed as quickly as I thought I would.

The pressure was on as we had a big mortgage and two kids at university, so we had to start creating a significant income to cover our expenses. George got a restaurant manager position within a large department store, whilst helping me in his spare time. We soon realised that I had to refocus myself on the business.

About nine months ago, after having talked to over 500 people – including all of our family and friends, who all said no to the opportunity – we still found

the motivation to persist and not give up on our dream. I had to master the art of contact marketing. I averaged between 25-30 one-to-ones a week. Eventually, one evening, I invited nine people to our local business presentation and that night six of them joined our business. This led to an important breakthrough; I finally started to get new team members who were motivated. Gradually, we started growing a fantastic team that we named Spartans, because of our Greek origin, and because we felt like warriors fighting against all the odds!

We have not had an easy ride in Forever and almost gave up on many occasions, but now that we have reached Manager it’s a bit like we have finished our apprenticeship and we feel so excited for the future. We would like to say a big thank you to all those who have helped, encouraged, and participated in our journey. We have made some very special friends within the Forever community who have supported and guided us along the way. A very special thank you to our upline leaders and mentors, Jayne Leach and John Curtis, who are our true inspiration.

You can have it allMy background before Forever was working as a transport coordinator for a blue chip company. There was a lot of stress and pressure to make sure deadlines were met, and I found myself working lots of overtime and not enjoying life. There was never any money left over after bills, and in five years I’d only had a 2.5% pay rise.

I went on maternity leave to have my son and two months into my leave received a voicemail from the HR department. The company had gone into administration, I was being made redundant with immediate effect and was to go and clear my desk ASAP. I was in total shock as I’d thought I was in a secure job.

So I found myself on maternity leave with no money coming in and was desperate for a job for when I’d need to go back to work. I didn’t want bar work or shifts as I still wanted to be there for my baby. Part time was not enough, and full time meant childcare costs and no time with my son. Natalie Heeley had asked me to take a look at the business two years previously and I’d told her I wasn’t interested. But two years after purchasing the Clean 9 – and being so intrigued as to what the underlying business was – I went along to a presentation and was blown away when I saw that I could launch a business for £199.75.

I am very thankful and grateful to have the most amazing team around me, they all have such different personalities and I love meeting new people too. In

new team members I look for ambition, a bubbly personality, a great attitude – someone who wants more from life and doesn’t moan, they just strive for success.

One challenge I have faced along the way is a lack of self-belief. Sceptical family members have also been a challenge. I had to work against them for a few months, but now they are very proud of me and what I have achieved.

I have a three-year-old and I am six months pregnant and work this business around lots of other commitments. If you have an amazing work ethic and you feel you are not pushing yourself, 2015 could be your year if you decide you want it to be. You really can have it all with Forever. I have already qualified to be taken to Cancun and Singapore where I will be collecting my first Chairman’s Bonus cheque. It’s totally mind blowing what Forever has given to us: the wedding of our dreams, a new home, a brand new car, holidays, an income I thought I could only dream of and the most amazing team I now call friends.
