Oriflame made my dreams come true

I joined Oriflame totally by coincidence. I was holding a gymnastics course and one of the people was an
Oriflame Director. When we finished he asked us to stay behind and he and his wife introduced us to Oriflame.

The products were wonderful and I immediately ordered some. The whole thing appealed to me so much that I asked straight away if I could join Oriflame.

My sponsor, Mrs Bartonová, played hard to get, saying that "she would ask" – something she denies doing today! Fortunately the answer was yes, I could join, and within a month I was an Oriflame Consultant (registering wasn’t as quick then as it is now). The funnything was, I even had to borrow money to buy the starter kit – but it proved to be an excellent investment!

Right from the start, I dreamed of becoming an Executive Director. But as time went by, I realized it wouldn’t be as easy as I’d first thought, and my hopes began to fade. At Oriflame, though, you should never lose heart!

Just recently we had a great Directors Dinner where I was awarded the title of Double Diamond Director. This was a tremendous shot in the arm, and now I’m convinced that I’ll reach my original goal of Executive Director. Then I’ll retire … maybe!

After alI, someday I want to have more time for my family. My sons are fantastic and I worry that I didn’tspend enough time with them when they were little; I don’t want this to
 happen to my beautiful grandson, Lukáš.

Right now, though, Oriflame means everything to me! With Oriflame’s help, I have made my dreams come true – achieving success, making money, helping my family and others. In the process, I’ve made lots of new friends.

I completely agree with our Czech MD, Magnus Holm: Oriflame is my life. And what would I say to someone who is thinking of making Oriflame a career? Simply: Go for it, give it a try. There is a Czech saying that “He who does nothing, spoils nothing.” But it continues: “he also gains nothing”. And there’s a lot out there to gain.
