My R&F Story

Some of you reading this may remember that I considered becoming a licensed esthetician not too long ago. The cost of the program, however, was unaffordable being unemployed. I considered the field because I learned a lot about skincare from having to work on my own skin. Some of you reading this may recall when I switched gears and began to create a website offering the information that I learned for a price. I now plan to teach and share it for free with my customers and the team of consultants that I am building. I can help people to achieve and maintain their best skin with my knowledge and an arsenal of award-winning products that I use and fully endorse.

I had flawless skin effortlessly until the age of 19. Despite going to some of the best places in NYC for facials like Mario Badescu and Christine Chin and trips to numerous dermatologists, it took over ten years to get my skin’s changing condition under control. It wasn't until somewhat recently that I managed to get what started out as breakouts, and got worse with medication and inconsistent information between what estheticians would tell me and what dermatologists would prescribe, under control. In retrospect it seems that what I learned by firsthand experience bridges the gap between the professionals in skincare. The information I will share will cover this and be especially beneficial for skin that breaks out. This information, however, will simultaneously apply to aging concerns; the same method that I used to nip acne in the bud is the one I use to delay aging.

My business website which you can see here has a tool where you can answer a few questions and the Dr.’s recommend the product regimen that is right for you. I am pleased to say that I used the tool, to try it, after using the product regimen of my own choice and it is exactly what the Dr’s recommended after I answered the questions. The key is the regimen because that is where I am seeing a huge difference in the appearance of my skin.

I became more interested in becoming a Rodan and Fields consultant after using a sample of a product, a really good exfoliant to be exact. Then the regimen that I chose at the time of enrollment arrived and my skin literally transformed with initial use. People have even remarked. I realize it’s the comprehensive system in the regimen of products. I wasn’t using one and my skin was OK. But I’m surprised at the appearance of my skin with just the use of the regimen. My skin has achieved a glow that I couldn't get on my own. That’s when I knew I could do this business. I’ve been on the buying end when I didn’t know what I do now about skincare and I can indentify good products when I use them. Then I realized that I could do what I initially set out to do, to build my business; by equipping people with the knowledge that will help them to be successful. People of all backgrounds can do this and are doing it successfully. But I think everyone would agree that knowledge is power.

Skincare professionals know that sun exposure is what accelerates aging the most. While that may be true, in an interview I once read, the CEO of Victoria's Secret said that "joie de vivre" is what makes a woman beautiful. I agree; but most of us could probably benefit from a bit of exfoliation and a little lesson or perhaps review on cleaning and exfoliation.

The news for anyone reading this is that I can coach you to have great skin and to be successful in this business. My own support comes from two very successful team members right here in S.E. Michigan. One of them is a retired teacher at the age of 29 and was awarded for becoming the first millionaire with the company. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that she and her husband are devoted to giving back in outstanding ways; they fund start-up businesses and have created a foundation for women. It makes me think: We the people, for the people.

What a great place to be and what a breath of fresh air this opportunity is. I became a business owner overnight. The start-up cost was low; I got personalized business websites, corporate leadership and support, brand recognition, publicity from beauty editors, a network of stellar professionals all over the country and products that are making my skin better. I didn’t have to send a resume. I was instantly employed. I’m also enjoying the possibility to connect with network professionals around the country. It is somewhat of a social remedy to the isolation that can beset the unemployed. Further yet are the incentives and rewards to perform. A hybrid Lexus would not be bad; neither would the iPad by the holidays. I’ve never had incentives to perform at my job. I did so out of my work ethic and conscience.

People still spend money on skincare, even in this economy. Our growth is staggering. The anti-age market is estimated at 2.5 billion here in the U.S. and there are plans to go global. This business is creating wealth and prosperity that gets funneled back into the economy. I love this business model. I recently read in Money Magazine that 53 is the age you are most likely to make your best financial decision. I don’t know their ages, but I know Dr. Rodan and Dr. Fields are within that age range and they most certainly made a wise financial decision to open the distribution channel for their products to direct sales.

The possibility to pay off my student loans, for example, and my dream to own and operate a farm for the livelihood as well as the lifestyle is within reach. I’d like to devote time to subjects like my art and writing. It seems the better I do financially the more my time would be freed to give back in ways meaningful to myself and others. What is your dream? What would you do if you achieved financial freedom? Because that is what this business opportunity is; a rare chance to work for financial freedom or to supplement/diversify your income.

If you would like to learn more about this opportunity, shoot me an email me at ddboata@nyu.edu to start a conversation or message me on facebook. I can coach you to have your best skin and to be successful in this business. I am looking for motivated, coachable individuals who grasp the vision to, like me, take it and run while the opportunity is here. 15 hours a week is all it takes. Men, this isn't just for ladies. You are most certainly welcome to join.

If you think the business side of Rodan and Fields is not for you but you would like to discuss your skincare concerns with me and learn about the products, feel free to write to me at my email address above or message me on facebook as well.
