Andrea
Andrea was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. She has spent more of her life as an entrepreneur than an employee. After earning her bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Andrea spent only 2 years working in the corporate world. It didn’t take her long to realize that she didn’t like having someone else control her time. She also became frustrated realizing her strong work ethic didn’t automatically mean more income opportunities.
Andrea and her husband began their own business around this time. It was a traditional brick and mortar business that quickly grew nationally. At its peak, they supervised over 250 employees. This business thrived for a number of years and allowed Andrea an opportunity to work from home, handling administrative and financial tasks for the business as her family began expanding. She appreciated the ability to work from home, but did not enjoy filing tax reports and dealing with employee headaches. Eventually, the business began to struggle. Yet there was still a lease to cover and employees to pay. Andrea soon realized that when you own a traditional business, it actually owns you. She and her husband went over 6 months with no income before deciding to sell that business.
Following the sale, it was time for a fresh start. Her family decided to move to Texas and start over, with no jobs or income source. The children were now in school, but Andrea had enjoyed the flexibility and freedom of working from home and was not prepared to reenter the corporate world. She began looking at other opportunities to work from home, focusing her search primarily on home based, direct sale businesses. Most seemed far too complicated; involving inventory, minimum monthly quotas, and high start up fees. It was at this time that she was introduced to The Juice Plus+ Company and became intrigued by their much simpler system and scientifically backed narrow product line. She decided to start her family on a road to better health and partner with the company all at the same time.
Andrea started her own home based business with Juice Plus+ and worked it on a very part time basis, sharing the benefits of the products with close friends and family. She made enough income to help pay for their children’s extracurricular activities and eventually the car payment. Before long though, personal life challenges made her realize the need to take her business more seriously and create a full time income. Since the Juice Plus+ Company has a full benefits package for its top level partners, which includes all major health insurance and medical benefits, college tuition reimbursement for family members, and even a holiday bonus, she realized that was the best position for her. With part time consistent effort and mentorship, Andrea achieved the top National Marketing Director position in October, 2011.
By 2013, Andrea was a single mom with 2 children in college and one in high school. Even though her personal life presented major challenges, she never had to sacrifice time with her children, her flexible work schedule, or her quality of life. Since that time, Andrea has continued to grow her business and income every year. She realizes no corporate career could provide her a full time income for part time effort, let alone allow her to work wherever and whenever she wants.
Andrea and Brandon married in 2016 and currently reside in San Antonio, TX. Her income has allowed them to purchase a vacation property on the beach. They travel regularly because her business travels with her. With no geographical restrictions, no time requirements and no boss, Andrea enjoys her days and has a true passion for what she does. She leads a team of hundreds with two driving concepts; simplicity and duplication. She’s a proven and accomplished leader with The Juice Plus+ Company, speaking at international conferences in front of thousands. She’s been recognized multiple times and even earned the highest award possible for her business growth and achievements.
Currently, Andrea finds her work most fulfilling when she is helping others reach their goals and live in a place of abundance instead of scarcity.
