Network marketing, particularly Neolife, has given me freedoms that traditional jobs can't, such as travel, staying home with my kids, and participating in community projects. It offers unlimited earning potential and flexible working hours. The extra income supports our son at Stellenbosch, our daughter's horse riding, and other family treats, all while allowing me to be present for my family.

Growing up, we lived modestly and faced health challenges. Joining Neolife transformed our lives, improving our health and finances. We moved to a better house, attended better schools, and bought a new car. Inspired, I partnered with Neolife, enjoying travel and luxury through business. My children also thrived thanks to Neolife products. I am excited to continue helping other achieve their dreams with Neolife, knowing it will further improve my own life.

After retiring at 62, I realised i wanted more from life. I needed a purpose, wanted to help others, felt unsure about my finances, and wanted to stay healthy and energetic. I also wanted enough money to enjoy life with my loved ones. Thanks to the Neolife Opportunity, I achieved all this. If you have concerns, Neolife can help you too. Now, I look forward to my future with excitement, and you will too.

We are delighted to introduce you to Annette Thandaza Chitawo, an Avon Sales Leader from Malawi who joined Avon in 2020. Annette has seen tremendous success with her Avon business due to using her creative marketing skills to attract loyal customers and new Representatives by boosting her posts on Facebook. Additionally, as part of her recruitment and retention strategy, she informs her Representatives that they will receive free gifts from Avon for four months following their appointment. "My Facebook page, Thanda's Online Shop, promotes my business and the benefits of becoming an Avon Representative, including earning an additional income if you are already employed and becoming a full-time representative if unemployed", she says. In a recent post she shared on Facebook, 4514 people were reached and 371 people clicked on it. By linking her business page to her business telephone number, she has enabled those who have clicked on her posts to communicate directly with her via WhatsApp so they can learn more about joining Avon or products by directly reaching out to her. "I can assure you that my experience with boosting my posts has helped me to successfully recruit new Representatives. The type of content I share and boost on my Facebook page is my Avon ON personalised digital brochure. One of the best things about my digital brochure is that it is shared only once and those who see it also share it!", she comments.

“I am honoured to represent Justine as a Consultant, a brand that recognizes women's accomplishments while providing them with an income opportunity." - Majisola Oguntosin Below is Majisola's incredible story: Majisola's story is remarkable, and her achievements are an inspiration to us all. Over the past three years, I've served my community as a Justine Consultant. The decision to become a Consultant was not just about starting a side business; it was also about achieving financial independence, supporting my family, and providing Justine products to my customers. As a result of the rapid pace of technological development in today's world, I can recruit and sell traditionally by approaching customers in public places, on public transportation, and at work. However, I am also able to do the same online, which is the most effective and effective method since I can reach many customers through my online store. Customers can visit my website, select what they wish to buy, check out and have their products delivered to them without me needing to share my digital brochure since all my products are available online. It is possible to earn money from my Justine online store in two ways: 1. Store Link sharing: By sharing my store link on social media, I allow people to know that I sell Justine and that they can shop at my store 2. Having an active store: By having an active store, anyone within my radius can purchase from my store without the need for me to share my link. I have also been able to increase the visibility of my business and attract new customers by having a presence on Facebook and Instagram. As my followers and friends are always seeking convenient shopping options, I alternate sharing my online store and digital brochure links on these platforms. Customers can choose to have me deliver their orders in person or to have them delivered by a courier through my online store. I am confident that exciting times lie ahead as a Justine Consultant, even though my journey has just begun.

Makondo Mpho Pecidia is a millennial who is deeply immersed in technology. For her, technology runs through her veins. She is a Sales Leader who primarily relies on Avon Grow and ON App for her business needs. In particular, she uses Avon On to help her manage various aspects of her business. Let us use this newfound inspiration to unlock our greatest potential and reach for the stars! As an encouragement for myself to gain entrepreneurial knowledge and skills, I joined Avon during Women's Month last year after graduating. My decision to join Avon allowed me to step outside of my comfort zone and grow not only in knowledge but also in skills, thus allowing me to stay competitive. In South Africa, it is extremely difficult to obtain a job as a graduate, so I love beauty products and play with make-up as a hobby. Due to this, I decided to become a part of the Coolest make-up brand as a means of also earning an income from the sale of beauty products and skincare products while looking for full-time employment in the field in which I earned my degree. My progress on Avon Rewards has been phenomenal within a short period of time after joining. As soon as I realized the progress I had made, I wanted to achieve more. Driven by my success, I became determined to reach even greater heights with Avon Rewards so I quickly advanced to the Gold level. Technology runs through my veins as a millennial. I run my business primarily on social media platforms and utilize Avon On primarily for my business needs. The app allows me to share digital brochures with customers, to place orders, to pay my account, to access the Avon Connect Hub, and to share social media content with my customers. My knowledge of digital platforms has also been enhanced by conducting one-on-one training sessions with other Representatives and Sales Leaders. As part of these training sessions, I teach new Representatives how to use the platforms and create social media accounts. Having participated in these training sessions and experiencing an increase in my sales, my Area Sales Manager recommended that I sign up to become a Sales Leader. I did not hesitate and completed those forms as fast as I could. My journey with Avon has been a rewarding one. Although I am still new at this, I am striving to achieve the Platinum level and believe one day, my business will be a legacy for my children. Avon has helped me achieve my highest title, that of being a successful entrepreneur. In conclusion, Makondo's story is a reminder that technology is changing the way we do business. As a millennial, she has fully embraced this change and is reaping the benefits. If you are a business owner looking to take your business to the next level, consider following Makondo's lead and embracing digital tools like Avon On. With the right tools and mindset, anything is possible.

There are many different physical and mental challenges associated with working with a disability. Whether you were born with a disability or have a disability resulting from a life-altering event, living or working in spaces that do not accommodate your limitations can be frustrating. This is sometimes the reality of Avon beauty entrepreneur, Cebile Thwala from Eswatini, a single mother of two who works as a Police Officer. Cebile has had to adapt to living with a disability that was brought about by a car accident. Her story I joined Avon 17 years ago - two years prior to a car accident that resulted in me losing the ability to walk. In the aftermath of my accident, I learned that people with disabilities often face obstacles in finding employment or moving around. Following my discharge from the hospital, it sank in that I would have to live my entire life in a wheelchair. I was not ready to return to the world I once knew due to the limitations I now faced. Upon reflection, I realised that only I possess the power and potential to live life to the fullest and to be the mother my children deserve. Thankfully, because I had already embarked on an entrepreneurial journey which afforded me a life that most of my family members aspired to, I was inspired to make the most of my new life. Luckily, in the two years prior to my car accident I had already established a good customer base and my customers relied on me to supply their favourite skin products and cosmetics. I resumed my job as a Police Officer and reconnected with my Avon customers after my recovery. This was helpful because I had realised that my salary was no longer sufficient to cover everything that my family and I need. The additional income from Avon supplemented my income and enabled me to give my children the life that I want them to have as well as the life that they want for themselves. My son is now studying at one of South Africa's universities, while my daughter assists me in managing my business part time since she is more mobile than I am and enjoys recruiting and selling. My Avon business allows me to pay my daughter an additional salary through running my business errands whilst I am at work, such as deliveries to customers and "on the go recruitment". Since she uses Avon products, it is easy for her to sell these products as my customers can easily observe how beautiful her skin looks as a result of using Anew and how pleasant her smell is as a result of using Avon fragrances. It is my pleasure to announce that I have been able to purchase a car I am comfortable driving with my disability with the income I make from Avon, and that I am currently in the process of building my dream home. Despite the fact that I am confined to a wheelchair, I am not limited in what I can do; the only difference is that I cannot move in the same way that someone who is not confined to a wheelchair can. As with many others, I also recruit in-person in public places. It is important for me to set a good example for my team and demonstrate my commitment to my customers by showing my face whenever possible. Among my most effective recruitment strategies is to distribute my Avon brochures to my family members at the beginning of each month son they can take to work or social functions to increase my reach. I am currently on the Platinum level of the Avon Rewards programme, and am working hard in order to reach Platinum Elite status. It is my responsibility to ensure that after work, I contact my representatives to determine what assistance they need so that they may provide support to their customers and earn an income. It is my responsibility to ensure that no one is left behind in my team. There are three family members who I recruited as representatives, and they are now successful business owners who build and grow their own teams as well. As of now, I am working towards ensuring that at least 80% of my representatives are at the Silver level of Avon Rewards. My children's pride in me keeps me going. The 30% discounts and free products that I receive from Avon Rewards motivate me to work hard each quarter. Furthermore, I am motivated by the Avon Top Seller events I am a part of each year as a result of my hard work. The fact that all expenses are covered by Avon and that I am always treated as a VIP is very appealing to me. There are a number of products from Avon that I cannot live without, including the cream to powder foundation, the Anew line of skin care products, especially Vitamin C, shower gels, Avon care body lotion (Firming), Fragrances, and last but not least matte lipsticks.

To earn a living in these challenging economic times In my role as the breadwinner of my family, I have always been expected to provide for their needs. I provide support to my younger siblings, pay their school fees, provide them with housing, and attend to their daily financial and emotional needs. After migrating to South Africa from Ghana in 2013, I have been able to take better care of my family through the financial benefits I have received from Avon. I am currently a full-time Math and Science teacher and am the breadwinner for both my immediate family and extended family. The reason I joined Avon in 2016 was that my salary would not be sufficient to support my living expenses as well as my extended family's financial needs. Having access to one of the world's leading global beauty brands that is not available in my home country was an excellent opportunity for me. Being an independent Avon Representative is advantageous to my friends and neighbors, since they can place and receive their orders from me. The discounts I receive on Avon's household essentials are amazing, and my family and I trust Avon with the products we use from head to toe. I run my Avon business mostly from home with my family around me using the Avon ON App or Avon Store to access my digital brochure to share with customers. For my business to thrive, I must look after my customers so I take my business very seriously. My business requires me to dedicate at least three to four hours a week. I have been encouraged to become my best self by my Area Sales Manager, Tsholofelo Matima, and I am able to apply the skills she has taught me as an Avon Representative to my teaching career. In addition to supplementing my income, my Avon earnings have also: - Enabled me to build a house in my home country for the benefit of my family. - It is now possible for me to pay rent in a decent apartment in South Africa where I reside, Johannesburg South. - I have been able to purchase a car which has made traveling and customer trips much more convenient for me. - Until joining Avon, I was not able to enjoy things like holiday trips and just to add, joining Avon has sharpened my entrepreneurial skills. As an Avon Representative, I have had the opportunity to receive product training and training on tools that are of the highest quality. For me, beauty is more than just an external appearance; it encompasses kindness to humanity and ensuring that your products and services serve a purpose. Through Avon, I have been able to develop strong interpersonal skills and become a role model for other people in my community. Avon does not impose any restrictions on its reps, so you are free to determine how and when you wish to work. Work is conducted at a pace that is determined by me. As I am currently employed in Johannesburg, that is where I reside. Beauty to me also means that I have my Avon digital business tools with me wherever I go, be it on holiday trips or enjoying a moment with friends. My role as an independent Avon Representative means more than just being able to earn a living in these challenging economic times; it means I am part of a company that advocates for breast cancer education and provides funds to LGBV NGOs to help them address challenges such as gender-based violence. I am grateful to Almighty God for how far he has brought me, to my current employer for their understanding and support, to my leader for her assistance and encouragement, and to the entire Avon company for this wonderful opportunity, I #ChooseAvon Thomas Quarcoo For more information on Avon click here.

I decided to pursue this career path as a way to supplement my income I lost my job due to COVID a few months after joining Avon and had to sit down and determine how I could continue to earn and provide for my family by using Avon. Due to the virus, most people weren't comfortable going out, so I used Avon ON to access the digital brochure, shared it with my customers and everyone I know via WhatsApp so that they could support me and receive their essentials. Avon is the company I chose to work with because I am able to determine when I will start work, where and when I will end my work day, and I can also set my own sales target because I determine how much I want to earn. Whenever I put more effort into my business, I receive greater rewards in the form of an income and other benefits, such as free products from the Avon Rewards program. With the earnings I earn through Avon, my family and I are able to afford things that we were previously unable to afford, such as a brand new fridge, fitted wardrobes, and private school for my children. As a result of what I do and the skills I have developed through my Avon business, my family and friends take great pride in me. Whenever my customers need suggestions for gifts for their loved ones, they can count on me to recommend the best Avon products for their skin, fashion, beauty, home, etc. For me, beauty is more than just an external appearance; it encompasses kindness to humanity and ensuring that your products and services serve a purpose. Through Avon, I have been able to develop strong interpersonal skills and become a role model for other people in my community. Avon does not impose any restrictions on its reps, so you are free to determine how and when you wish to work. Work is conducted at a pace that is determined by me. As I am currently employed in Johannesburg, that is where I reside. Beauty to me also means that I have my Avon digital business tools with me wherever I go, be it on holiday trips or enjoying a moment with friends. I am proud of myself and what I have been able to achieve with my Avon earnings. Beauty to me means: • Providing a personalised service to my customers with affordable world class products and that they don’t have to drive to a store and queue at tills to get their skin-care products. I give them personalised service! • The support I receive from Avon and the development of my professional skills. The Avon ON App is one of many examples of the support I receive from Avon, which allows me to access the brochure, make payments, and manage my business Avon's flexible working hours allow me to work at my own pace. Because I am able to spend time with my family and promote my Avon business wherever I am, I feel that selling Avon fits my lifestyle. I would like to invite anyone who has never used Avon before to put it to the test by placing an order with an Avon Representative or by signing up to become a Representative. Make Avon your choice today and in the future! #ChooseAvon Ellen Ramakgapola For more information on Avon click here.

My Avon earnings enable me to maintain the lifestyle I have always aspired to Several years ago, I joined Avon with the goal of funding my MBA and obtaining a larger home. Since joining Avon a few years ago, I have fallen in love with the ANEW range, which I recommend to my customers to use morning and night all year round throughout every season. Since joining Avon, my life has changed significantly since I no longer have to worry about rising living costs and fuel prices. My Avon earnings enable me to maintain the lifestyle I have always aspired to and have always dreamed of having. By now, I believe I would have achieved great success if I had joined Avon much earlier. Avon products are not only affordable, but high quality and backed by international research and development. There is an Avon product that is suitable for every age group, skin tone, and skin type. For me, being a part of Avon means I am part of a global brand that continues to win awards around the world. The results my customers experience with Avon products are incredibly positive and they're all happy with them. Due to Avon's exceptional reputation over the years, the products sell themselves. With Avon, I intend to continue developing my digital knowledge, utilising my education background to make premium affordable products accessible to my customers, using the Avon ON App to manage my business, using Avon Grow to recruit and get my representatives to the silver level of Avon Rewards, and gaining product knowledge through training. To me, Beauty Your Way means that I choose when to work, where to recruit more customers and the support offered by Avon so that I can stay up-to-date with all product developments and evolving technology. It's Beauty My Way, where I set my own goals, meet people who share my passions, earn rewards, and generate an income. Charne Visagie For more information on Avon click here.

My Husband and I made the decision for me to leave the Corporate Sales Industry and become a stay-at-home mom, which I did for two years. I loved every minute of being at home with my two girls, but something was missing. Being an ambitious and independent person, I began to feel frustrated and insecure because I had lost my financial independence and felt guilty for not contributing towards my family’s future. At this stage, I had two choices: I could either re-join the Corporate Industry and have very limited time with my family or take a chance with the Nu Skin Opportunity that was presented to me, and start working from home which is something I'd always wanted to do. My husband was sceptical yet supportive, but thankfully we chose the latter. I started my Nu Skin Business May 2012, became an Executive in August, and 10 months later became a RUBY. The past 18 months with Nu Skin has been the most challenging, fulfilling and enjoyable experience of my working career. It's the working lifestyle that puts me in control of my time, financial rewards and ultimately, mine and my families’ future. One of the fundamental Keys to My Success has been the support of my up-line. Hanno Korf has been amazing, taught me everything I know and provided me with the tools to turn my passion into results and build a successful business. One of my key objectives going forward is to provide the same mentorship that Hanno has provided to me. I believe the recipe for success is focusing on what needs to be done, being completely passionate about what you're doing and being consistent. Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. Confucius. Thank you Nu Skin...

Single parent buying cars for her two sons and daughter! I am so proud to have had the opportunity to be associated with Avon. I am a single parent with 3 children. My husband passed away over 10 years ago and I had to educate my children on my own and Avon helped pay for this. My eldest son studied Marketing and in addition I was able to buy him his first car. My second son studied Marketing and Financial Management and I also paid for his first car. My daughter completed Matric 3 years ago and enjoyed a break year from her studies while deciding what she would like to study the following year. I was also able to buy her a car! Avon has also enabled me to tour the United States and Europe. I’ve also been to Australia and New Zealand. Avon affords women and men the opportunity to be successful and comfortable and enjoy the finer things in life because of the financial independence it offers through its earning opportunity. I don’t think I will ever stop being associated with Avon.

Independent Distributor Nuskin South Africa “When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” –John Lennon My Nu Skin journey started in February 2014. At the time I was doing Nu Skin part-time while being in the Construction Industry. By August 2014 my commission had grown considerably, allowing me to leave my occupation and persue my Nu Skin byusiness full time. Partnering with a company like Nu Skin gave me the confidence to approach people that I normally would not, people that are older, very successful and could be intimidating. My self-confidence has improved not only in the way I relate to people but also being comfortable to speak in front of anybody. I have learnt to listen carefully to people in order to identify their needs. I have also learned that I can give everybody the same opportunity, although they need to decide whether this business is for them, or not. To be successful in Nu Skin, patiance & perserverance is key. You also need to follow a proven system and be coachable. Since I started my business I have experienced the freedom of time, I have the freedom to accommodate new prospects at time that suit them best. I am also able to enhance my quality of life by spending more time in the gym and complimenting my fitness regime with superior supplementation. This has helped me to get in better shape, exercise more effectively with increased stamina and has remarkably improved my ability to concentrate. With my improved Immune System I feel great everyday! Since my mother started using the products and was receiving countless compliments on her “younger look”, my whole family is now using Nu Skin products. I have a focussed vision and long term goal that drives me daily. I would like to be Team Elite by the age of 27 and make a meaningful change in people’s lives, especially improving the quality of life for mentally handicapped people. To be succesfull you need to “lead by example”, people do what you do, not what you say they should do. “Be the change you want to see in the world” - Confucius

I am a 43 year old married woman blessed with two lovely children, Dineo and Joas. I am staying in Bendor, a suburb in the City of Polokwane in Limpopo. I was introduced to Justine by a friend in 1998 as a means to make extra money while I was still working at a bank. I decided to try it and joined Justine as a Consultant. By 2005, I was a Justine Business Leader although still working full time. In February 2010 I attended a Business Leaders’ workshop at Fourways, Gauteng and was motivated by the amazing success stories presented by full time Justine Business Leaders. They shared with us on how they strategised to make their business grow. This was the turning point of my business. Following the workshop, I was so inspired that I recruited 50 consultants from having only 6 before. By December 2010 I had resigned from my position as a Customer Service manager at the Bank so I could focus on my Justine Business. The success of my Justine business continued with my earnings growing to double what I was earning at the Bank for many years. In 2011, I opened my Justine office at Dada House Building, office 306 at Grobler Street in the center of the city (Polokwane). By the end of 2011, I had 125 registered Consultants and my salary tripled! During that time I was also one of the top sellers of the new Justine Utopia fragrance, the reward for which was a weekend away for two to the magnificent Victoria Falls in Zambia and Zimbabwe. My husband and I enjoyed 3 beautiful days at the Victoria Falls including a sunset cruise in the perennial Zambezi river in March this year.  In May, Justine spoiled me and 14 other top achieving Justine Business Leaders with an eight day trip to Bali in Indonesia. We spent our nights at a 5 star hotel and toured the province of Bali, admiring its beauty and rice plantations. The other highlights of this outing were meeting different people with diverse cultures as well as experiencing the country’s popular mode of transport, the motorbike transport. We also enjoyed a cruise along the islands. Because of the incredible earnings and the great recognition and rewards from the company I really enjoy what I am doing and always looking forward to the next day. In addition I have groomed, developed and motivated my team to reach the same level of success.

After my husband died in 2006 she had to depend on her Avon earnings. The income helped her to support her step-daughter who was just 19 years old at the time. She was also able to provide for her brother's teenage daughter as she is the sole breadwinner at home. In 2009 she bought a laptop to help her run her Avon business more efficiently. By 2011 she had managed to buy a stand with a two bedroom house cash using the earnings from her business. She continues to work hard so can accomplish more for herself as well as her family.

With families to support, many adults are often unwilling to leave a secure, fulltime job, albeit one that they hate, to pursue their dreams. Following your dream is often viewed as risky, and should you choose this path, you’re sure to raise a few sceptical eyebrows along the way. When Annique Consultant, Sanette Horn, left her fulltime job to build her own business, she didn’t see it as a risk, but as an opportunity. Her “risk” paid off in the biggest way she could ever have imagined. More than 30 years ago, Annique Consultant, Sanette Horn, was earning a good salary at her fulltime, corporate job. “However, it was a man’s world,” she says. “I was working just as hard as my male colleagues, but they received the fat increases at the end of the day. Feeling fed up, I mentioned this to my Annique Consultant who I regularly bought products from. “‘Why don’t you join Annique fulltime?’ she asked. “’Then you can determine your own salary.’”  “Thinking back, it was a risk. My husband and I just bought a new house, and we needed every cent to cover our expenses. But, at the time, I wasn’t worried about the risk. I saw the opportunity of building a successful business for myself. I went straight to my boss and resigned with 24 hours’ notice.” “I jumped right into my new business by phoning everyone I knew to tell them about the healing properties of Rooibos in the Annique products. My main focus was the skin-care range. People were very supportive and I worked into the late hours of the night to do product demonstrations and to introduce people to Annique. I recruited people from day one. After only one month, I had managed to earn the same salary as at my previous job and I was able to buy a car! My husband, who was shocked by my resignation, was now able to relax, as I was able to contribute to paying the bills.”  “My salary didn’t depend on my gender or on what others deemed fit anymore; it depended solely on me and my effort. I was free to fetch my children at school and to work the hours that suited me. I worked hard to build a successful business, and fifteen years later the real value of my multi-level marketing business became more apparent than ever…” “In my forties , I was diagnosed with a debilitating, chronic illness. Getting up in the mornings became a challenge. My Annique business was and is still my lifesaver as it enables me to keep working at my own pace. I wouldn’t have been able to hold a fulltime job, as I often feel tired and weak. The benefit of a multi-level marketing business like Annique is that you are able to earn a passive income. Even when I am feeling too ill to work, I still earn an income based on my team’s performance.” “All those years ago, I took a chance by starting my own business. I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if I wasn’t brave enough to follow my dream. Fortunately, I did, and I’m able to still live the life that I choose.”
