Today we’d like to introduce you to Rebeka Rodriguez.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Rebeka. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
Arbonne really just fell into my lap. I was really lucky. It’s very surreal because it came at just the right moment in my life. At the time, I was a single mom working two jobs while going to school. I was paying my gas with nickels and dimes, and couldn’t even afford my textbooks for college. I would have to go to the library and take pictures on my phone of the chapters from the textbook I was supposed to read. And let me tell you sometimes, the chapters were 30-40 pages long and I’d have to read that straight from my phone. Starting a global business was one of the best decisions I ever made. The opportunity to be able to build a business and legacy straight from my phone excited me; the opportunity to leverage my time excited me. I was tired of spending 40+ hours a week working for someone else and sitting in traffic from Monday- Friday. I was tired of only living for the weekends and working jobs that drained me and robbed me of my talents. I knew I was made for more. I wanted to love every single day of the week the exact same, and I wanted to live life on my terms. But most importantly, I wanted to create an impact. I wanted to help change other women’s lives and share everything I learned with them. I want to help paint a vision for women who have been scared to dream big and who have settled with just existing in their lives. I want women to know that it’s OK for them to dream big again. They matter, abd their dreams matter. It’s never too late to be who you want to be and to create the life they truly want. All of these reason’s pushed me to say yes to starting my own business and to take that leap of faith which was easily one of the biggest blessings of my life.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Not at all. My own family didn’t even support me which was pretty devastating at first. I’ve learned that No’s are just part of the process. The No’s get you that much closer to the Yes’s. You’re only responsible for the activity, not the outcome. My advice is to never give up. Don’t let temporary feelings discourage you. People quit things every single day. Don’t let that be you. Also, make sure your vision is crystal clear. The world moves out of the way for those who know where they’re going.
Please tell us about Arbonne International – what should we know?
I am the CEO of my health and wellness business. We are known for having pure, safe, and beneficial products. We have the strictest ingredient policy and we ban over 2,000 toxic chemicals from our ingredients whereas the FDA bans as little as 30. I’m most proud that we are focused on giving back. We are now a certified B Corporation meaning we hold the highest standard of verified social and environmental performance. What sets us apart is that we change lives. We’re focused on health and wellness from the inside and out. We get to show others how to make lifestyle changes that will enrich their lives, and we also show people how to turn that into an income.
Do you recommend any apps, books or podcasts that have been helpful to you?
Yes. Personal growth is HUGE. I am a big advocate of that. I very rarely listen to music now. I’m almost always listening to an audible while I drive. The 10x Rule by Grant Cardone is a great book that has helped me along the way, so has “Girl Stop Apologizing” by Rachel Hollis. I like to read 2 books at a time. One to help grow me into a better business owner, and another to help me with my personal life. Also, having a planner is crucial for me. The one I use now I got from Target and I love it because it breaks down my day by the hour, along with my top three goals for the day and tasks that need to be completed.
