Quote of the Day

Too many of us wait to do the perfect thing, with the result we do nothing. The way to get ahead is to start now. While many of us are waiting until conditions are "just right" before we go ahead, others are stumbling along, fortunately ignorant of the dangers that beset them. By the time we, in our superior wisdom, decide to make a start, we discover that those who have gone fearlessly on before, have, in their blundering way, traveled a considerable distance. If you start now, you will know a lot next year that you don't know now, and that you will not know next year, if you wait.

My Incredible Journey, by Rose Gallo-Rojas


Rose Gallo-Rojas, EzineArticles.com Basic Author



When I started on this journey with Rodan and Fields, I knew that it was a life-changing opportunity; a way for me and my family to become financially secure, a way to achieve financial independence and to ultimately build wealth. What I did not anticipate was just how much it would enrich my life.

Through Rodan and Fields and the direct sales business model, I have grown as a person. This is not a “what’s in it for me?” type of business. I would even venture to say that if this is your attitude, you will never be successful in this industry. The reason is, because the system has at its core, a spirit of giving and sharing, rather than of taking and pushing the competition out of the way.

As we share our knowledge with people who are “looking”, we do it with the firm understanding that what we are showing them can truly change their lives. It is not about what's in it for us, it is about sharing. It is a way for average, hard-working folks to become financially solvent and even wealthy.

I know that this business is not for everyone. I don’t try to convince and I don’t take it personally when people don’t see the opportunity; it takes a special attitude to be successful. I just share the knowledge. The adage “You can bring a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink” is so true. People will either see it or they won’t. When they see it, the transformation that takes place is unbelievable and when they don’t, I just keep sharing it with others. (I keep "pouring coffee" as we say).

What is most rewarding is the fact that anyone can be successful in this business, regardless of credentials, education, race, nationality, creed or annual income. Where else can you go in the business world where this is true? It is not likely that one would ever be able to become the CEO of a company without at least a college degree, many years of service, a substantial amount of experience, and a track record of success, yet in direct sales, none of these is a requirement for one to succeed. All it takes is the desire to succeed and the ability to share (duplicate) what we are taught by the company. Additionally, there is no glass ceiling (you can write your own pay check) and you will never be downsized.

This economy has been a tough one and it has forced changes on me and my family that we were not anticipating. I did not have a Plan B, but what I have discovered in the months since my position was eliminated, is a new and improved “me”. Every day something new unfolds, a new aspect of my personal development is exposed and I find myself welcoming the change, as well as the process.

I work from home and am able to spend valuable time with my husband and daughters, I have found the time to reach out to old friends whom I’ve lost contact with, I am able to help others create a business for themselves that will bring them either supplemental income or substantial wealth and I have become more giving of my time and knowledge. In short, I am happier, more centered, and calm. My life has been transformed forever and it is more beautiful than it was before, if that’s even possible, because it was pretty awesome to begin with!

I know that I am exactly where I need to be. I am smelling the roses again, I am attracting the right people and the right partners into my life and I am grateful that I have been given this opportunity to do good and feel better.

If this is something that resonates with you then it can truly transform your life in a very positive way! I would love to share it with you. Contact me to learn more.

My Reasons Why, by Bob Rojas

I am a thirty year veteran Captain of the Chicago Fire Department. I have been decorated numerous times for doing my job well. This career has given me the opportunity to earn a college degree, provide for my family, help my community, and create lifelong friendships. Nothing in my past ever prepared me to enthusiastically introduce and endorse a skin care and direct selling business opportunity to friends and strangers alike.

I do so for various reasons; the experience, credentials, and business savvy of the people running the company, the credibility and sincerity of the Doctors, their clinically proven products, and a business model that sets no boundaries on how much I can earn through my perseverance and hard work. I have fully embraced that good old American entrepreneurial spirit. I see clearly, a path to create for our family, not only financial independence but the ability to let go of the safety net and limits associated with an hourly wage.

I have risked my life proudly, for thirty years and for that I will receive a pension, Social Security, and a draw form a 401K type plan. Although I am extremely thankful for the abundance that I currently experience, those things combined won’t give me what I can earn at Rodan and Fields in a much shorter amount of time!
The greatest thrill though is to work side by side with the hardest-working most successful business person I have ever known, a great Mom, my best friend and wife, Rose.

The financial rewards that this business has brought us are compelling, but the most rewarding and enriching part of this opportunity is what it has brought to Rose and me at this stage in our marriage. We are united in our quest and are truly having fun growing our business. I encourage couples that like spending time together to explore the possibilities that direct sales provides especially with a great company like Rodan and Fields.

Rodan + Fields Regimens Deliver Results!

I have been an advocate of taking care of your skin for over 20 years. I have espoused the benefits of cleansing and moisturizing twice a day, the importance of eye cream, and the use of SPF daily. My vigilance has paid off and I am always pleased when people comment that I look younger than my chronological age.

It is said that the condition of your skin is 20% hereditary and 80% environmental. The good news is that you have some control over 80% of your skin’s appearance! So, when Rodan and Fields Dermatologist developed their REVERSE regimen, they provided a way to affect that 80% of skin that has been damaged by the sun.

These products not only block the effects of the sun, like most sun products on the market, they provide a way to actually reverse it! With daily use, sun damage is erased. Clinical tests prove that there is a 98% visible improvement in brightness, a 98% improvement in the skin’s texture, a 90% visible reduction in brown spots and uneven skin tone. An additional and unexpected result was a 30% visible reduction in fine lines! When it comes to sun damage, it’s not what you see, it’s what you don’t see that makes your skin look dull and aged.

But the good news doesn’t stop there. Rodan and Fields Dermatologists have developed 3 other regimens that address virtually every skincare need through their patented Multi-Med® Therapy. Results are more noticeable than with traditional cosmetic grade products because the Rodan and Field regimens contain over the counter (OTC)medicines that bring better results.

I can say with 100% honesty, that no other skincare regimen has yielded the results to my skin that Rodan and Fields’ ANTI-AGE has. Whereas cosmetics grade skincare products treat only the dead layers of the skin, these products go deeper, to actually change the structure of the skin. The end results are not only noticeable, they are visceral, emotional. My skin not only looks better, it feels better and I feel better too!

My skin has better tone, it has less fine lines and wrinkles, and is visibly more luminous and clear. I am more than pleased with my results and this excitement towards my skincare regimen is not typical. I am a "seasoned" cosmetics executive (perhaps a bit jaded?) who is familiar with the marketing “spin” of a product. And no matter how effective a product espouses to be, it can only go so far. The Multi-Med® Therapies deliver more compelling results than any other cosmetics products I’ve used in the past and people are noticing.

The regimens include REVERSE, their flagship regimen and the one that is geared towards the largest population. It not only helps protect against sun exposure like most other products on the market, it will actually reverse the damage that the sun has caused over time. It is estimated that 100 million people suffer from sun damage, almost twice as many as those who suffer from acne. ANTI-AGE is geared towards the baby boomers and improves tone, texture and diminishes fine lines and wrinkles. There are 58 million Baby Boomers globally. UBLEMISH is for those of us who have oily, acne-prone skin. And SOOTHE is for people who suffer from sensitive, easily irritated skin and contains hydroquinone to help diminish the irritation that sensitive skins experience. Clinical studies prove their effectiveness.

Because the Rodan and Fields products use OTC ingredients that go deeper into the skin, they can actually deliver more effective results than regular cosmetic-grade products do. My personal regimen includes a combination of their REVERSE and ANTI-AGE regimens, since I suffer from more than one skincare issue and my results are amazing. Not only has my skin improved in terms of diminished lines and wrinkles, but its texture and tone is better and it is clearer and more luminous. Because I have seen how these products have improved my own skin, I am very confident that anyone who uses them will see similar results.
