Fall-Winter
2018 Circle of Honor

Alesha Helms

Why do you enjoy being a Thirty-One Consultant?

I love being able to share Thirty-One with everyone I come in contact with. I have built friendships and relationships with people from all walks of life that I would not have been able to had I not joined Thirty-One. Plus, I love the bags and I like the paycheck! My motto has become "Changing Lives One Bag at a Time," and I fully believe that I have done that in the time I have been a Consultant.

I look forward to changing more lives each and every day!

Cindy Taylor

What makes you proudest to be a Thirty-One Consultant?

Starting chemo bags at our town's cancer care center in 2014 has evolved into a whole room being set aside just for the bags and supplies that are donated to patients undergoing treatment. We have tables of comfort items that businesses are now helping me donate, and each Monday a volunteer fills our bags and prays over each one as it is filled. It's turned into a community effort, with customers donating and sponsoring bags in memory or in honor of loved ones with cancer. The patients love the bags, and it brings me such joy to know that without Thirty-One, this mission would not have been possible.

How does Thirty-One compare to other jobs you have held?

I had never worked in the direct sales industry before, but I spent many years working in corporate and non-profit organizations. One of the beautiful things I've found with Thirty-One is that it provides the strength and stability of a corporate job, the heart and the mission of a non-profit job and the flexibility and authority of your own business. I can't imagine doing anything else or working for any other company. No other job provides the financial rewards, scheduling flexibility or family involvement that Thirty-One does.

Pam Williams

How have the relationships you've made at Thirty-One affected you?

The ladies I've met through Thirty-One are amazing and so sweet. I've been in women's clubs and I was in a sorority, but Thirty-One is the only group I have been in that truly, genuinely celebrates, rewards and encourages women. It doesn't matter if I'm talking to my Senior Director, someone from Home Office or Cindy, they make me feel like a million dollars. They encourage you every chance they get by emails or phone calls. I was amazed the first time Home Office took time to call me and congratulate me on a good party!

Melissa Batt

What possibilities has Thirty-One opened for your family?

Shortly after I started selling Thirty-One, my husband lost his job. After hearing what Thirty-One had done for others,I decided I would commit to working this business with everything I had. Since then, Thirty-One has allowed my husband to choose a job he loves over settling for a job he had to have. It's allowed us to choose where we want to live without chasing where the money is. The freedom and flexibility this business has given us has meant the world to our family.

Stephanie Howell

Why did you join Thirty-One?

As an Army wife I've worked almost every job, from hostess to bookstore clerk to teacher to boutique sales. Thirty-One is my favorite because it's a way of life, not a job.

I love organizing my life in meaningful and beautiful ways, and getting paid to share that passion is just the icing on the cake! With five daughters ages 11 and under and a military husband who is often gone, I don't get to take care of me very often. It's been a gift to find a job that allows me to use my personality, passion and brain to bring myself joy.

Lisa Wojciechowski

What do you like most about working with Thirty-One?

It feels amazing to work for a company that shows genuine recognition to hard workers. This company truly understands what motivates people to be their best selves and I admire that. People often ask me how I'm so generous, and it's simple – I work for a company that is thoughtful and generous, and that trickles down. I feel it is my obligation to share the joy that Thirty-One has brought to my life. This company makes me excited for all the possibilities the future holds!

Lynn Pfost

How has being a Thirty-One Consultant impacted you and your family?

I first became a Consultant to pay off some medical bills from my son's illness. We have since been able to pay off that debt and so much more. Because of this opportunity and my flexible schedule, I was able to travel the country with my daughter during her senior year of college as she played Division 1 softball. I went to every single game! My boys have gone to college debt-free thanks to Thirty-One, and my husband and I have been able to do a lot of traveling. I can't imagine my life without Thirty-One in it.

Brandy Black

What do you enjoy most about being a Consultant?

First, I consider myself to be a problem-solver, not a seller. I love helping my Customers find the perfect solutions to stay trendy and organized at home or on the go. I cherish all the friendships I’ve made with my Customers and my team members. I’ve never had a job where I’m surrounded by more support and encouragement. Being the CEO of my own business also allows me the opportunity to provide choices for my family that we would not otherwise have. Thirty-One has become a lifestyle for myself and for my family.

Rosanna Malaghan

Why are you a Thirty-One Consultant?

I joined to earn money to pay for yoga teacher training, which I was able to do in my first three months. But that was just a stepping stone. At Thirty-One I’m encouraged to be the best version of me every day – as a wife, a mother, a daughter and a friend. I also love the flexibility. Not only can I “work” around our beautifully chaotic family schedule, but I am so grateful that my sons get to see my joy in working, empowering other women and sharing awesome products.

Amy Wyatt-Burton

What do you love most about this job?

Girl time! Thirty-One is my third job, and between farming, ranching and only having sons, I am surrounded by men. Thirty-One gives me the opportunity to connect and share with women. Plus it’s FUN! I also love the flexibility of it. I stay very busy with my kids, community and church, but with Thirty-One I have the freedom to choose how often I work and WHEN I work!

Jill Walmer

What keeps you feeling motivated?

Every year I choose a new word to represent what I’m feeling in my business. Where I’m at, where I want to be. This is a really powerful tool to help me stay focused on the BIG goals. Throughout the last six years, those words have helped me to “Dream Big. Find Strength. Believe. Grow. Be Purposeful. Choose Joy.” It’s so easy to get caught up in the little day-to-day things in our lives that we forget how important it is to stay focused on the things that matter most.

Emily Oliver-Jones

How has this job impacted you and your family?

It’s a “job” that allows me to put my FAITH first. Throughout this journey I have been blessed financially, I have been blessed with friendships, and I have been blessed with freedoms most other jobs wouldn’t allow. And I give God ALL the glory for being the BEST business partner a girl could ever have! For our family, Thirty-One has helped pay for so many things for my little girl, Peyton – 4-H animals, cheerleading, piano lessons and even a family trip to Disney. We set goals together, achieve them together and, of course, celebrate together because this is our FAMILY business.

Christina Rupracht

How has your life changed since joining Thirty-One?

When I joined I was a stay-at-home mom raising five boys at the time. (Now it’s six boys!) I love being a mom, and this opportunity has empowered me to not only be a great mom but a successful business owner as well. I never thought I’d be able to financially support our whole family, and I certainly never thought I’d be leading a team of incredible women who amaze and surprise me every day. I love watching them find their own confidence and strength. So many things have changed for the better during the last seven years, and now I can’t imagine my life without Thirty-One in it.

Jenay Hallickson

How is Thirty-One different than other jobs you’ve had?

I love being my own boss! Planning my job around my family and not the other way around has been amazing and freeing. Last summer I stayed home with my three kids full-time for the first time ever. I’ve also made real connections with other women through Thirty-One, and the encouragement I’ve received has been priceless. When you’re a stay-at-home mom – or even a busy mom – it can be hard to connect with other women. This gives me that chance.

Amie Leone

Why did you decide to join Thirty-One?

I just wanted all the great products in the Enrollment Kit for only $99. I had no desire to sell, but the more I learned about the company and Cindy & Scott, the more I wanted to keep learning. Thirty-One has helped me become a happier person by filling the parts of my life that were missing. After leaving my corporate job to stay home with my son a few years ago, I didn’t realize how much I would miss “working.” Thirty-One gives me a sense of accomplishment and independence.
