Jim &Marilyn Stottlemyre

Marilyn was pursuing a career at a scientific national laboratory in Washington State while raising three children and operating a dance instruction business with her husband when she was introduced to the USANA® opportunity.  Marilyn had suffered a serious back injury and eight agonizing months of numerous treatments without relief.  This is when a friend shared the USANA story with her.  Marilyn developed a strong interest in searching for high quality supplements to help maintain her health.  She saw the value in the scientific-based USANA products.  Because of the USANA compensation plan, she quickly realized there was a smarter way to achieve financial security and have more time with her family.  With her three sons approaching their college years, she saw the power leveraged income could provide.  Marilyn was leading a very busy life and had no extra time and no experience in the network marketing industry; however she knew that she  could be successful with a vehicle like USANA and a team like Success Team International. 

There are three crucial components to my success;  1) Duplicable training system designed by a powerful leadership team.  2) Positive and teachable attitude.  3) Persistence.   These were the key components for Marilyn’s quick rise to Gold Director working part time in just nine months.  She has since achieved the level of Ruby Director. 

Marilyn received a commission check her first week in this business and has had one every week since.  It was just nine months after she began to build her USANA business that Marilyn and her husband Jim purchased their new home on a hill overlooking the city.  Marilyn left the national laboratory behind and began working her USANA business full time.  Networking has opened so many doors for Marilyn and Jim.  They have closed their dance instruction business and are now living a life they once only dreamed of.  Marilyn says, “It’s been awesome to see this opportunity as a family business with all three of her sons utilizing the earnings from their own USANA businesses to support themselves through college.”  Marilyn now has the time freedom to volunteer for the American Red Cross, care for her ailing parents and give back to a number of other charities in which she believes.   (Disclaimer)

“We recently purchased our dream summer home on a large lake in Idaho where spending time entertaining friends and family is priceless!” explains Marilyn.  (Disclaimer)

Jim includes, “Whether we are enjoying a boat ride, fishing a derby, or just visiting with friends on the deck overlooking the lake, this home provides the happy memories and lifestyle that we didn’t know was possible before.”  (Disclaimer)

Traveling has become a favorite pastime for Marilyn and Jim now.  They’ve cruised the Caribbean, vacationed in Hawaii, visited Australia, England, Hong Kong, toured the United States and now have their sights set on Italy and Vienna.  Marilyn concludes, “A few years of effort have taken our lives from good to unbelievable. This type of financial and time freedom is well worth the effort!”  (Disclaimer)
