Garry DeBrabander and Jennifer Bates-DeBrabander, the newest members of Herbalife's Chairman's Club, know what it's like to struggle to make ends meet. So, from their "little shack," a house that literally couldn't fit more than a half-dozen people at a time, the DeBrabanders dreamed of something better for themselves and their children. And, when Garry answered a newspaper ad for the Herbalife opportunity back in 1985, they began a journey to make their dreams a reality. "We really wanted to give our kids a good education." Garry and Jennifer, who were both single parents when they married each other, wanted the best for their children. "That was our initial motivation to find an opportunity for financial independence," Garry explains. A bar manager for 10 years, Garry remembers just how difficult things were financially for the family. "I'd walk my daughter to the babysitter before work because I couldn't spare the bus fare," he recalls. As for their living conditions, things were tight in the DeBrabander home-literally. "If we wanted to have four people over for dinner," Garry muses, "one of them had to sit outside." "After trying the products, I knew the Herbalife opportunity was for us." Before discovering Herbalife, Garry also had serious health issues. So when Jennifer realised that the business ad Garry answered was for Herbalife, she was thrilled, because she had always been a believer in natural products. "Jennifer knew right from the start that Herbalife would work for me," Garry remembers. "Try them,' she said. 'You'll see.'" Jennifer was right. "By the fourth day on the products," Garry recalls with excitement, "my energy was up-way up! People started noticing and asking me what I was doing. At that point, I knew what Jennifer had realised immediately-we had found the answer to our health and our dreams." "By following our Sponsor's lead and making the commitment, we got off to a great start." "This business really is duplicatable," Garry says. When the DeBrabanders got started with their Herbalife business, they followed a simple set of rules: Take the steps their Sponsor suggested, make the commitment, work the plan and be consistent. Their results say it all: "In our first month," explains Garry, "we brought in $18,000." And, just as important to the DeBrabanders, they realised that with their new Herbalife business, they could really make a difference in people's lives. "That was an exciting realisation," says Garry. Garry recalls setting a simple but powerful standard for growing the business. "Every single day, I made a decision of how many people's lives I wanted to positively impact, and I wouldn't let myself go home until I reached that goal." It was that kind of discipline, combined with Herbalife's winning products and opportunity, that Garry and Jennifer credit with helping them grow such a successful business. "It just kept growing!" As the DeBrabanders built their business, they stayed true to their original philosophy of taking good advice, maintaining a great attitude and working their plan every single day. "No matter how big our Herbalife business grew," says Garry, "the same principles still applied-stay consistent, and remember that ultimately what you're doing is helping people to better themselves." Today, the DeBrabanders have a presence in almost every country Herbalife does business-and they're continuing to grow. "We're really living our dreams!" Asked what the first thing he and Jennifer did when they realised that their Herbalife business was going to be a long-term success, Garry remembers instantly. 'There was this great house not far from where we lived, called Eagle's Nest," Just a couple of years earlier, neither Garry nor Jennifer would have dreamed they'd ever live in such a home. "Within two years of starting our Herbalife business," Garry explains, "we owned Eagle's Nest." Shortly afterwards, we were able to buy Jennifer's mother a home of her own, and now we live in the beautiful Gold Coast, in the next home we bought." Garry and Jennifer own many properties and are about to build their Dream Home. "We're so thankful to be able to give our kids the best." "When she was just a little girl," Garry recalls, "I used to worry about being able to give my daughter Lynnette the things she'd want in life." But, thanks to their success with Herbalife, that's no longer a concern for either Garry or Jennifer. "When Lynnette and Drew got their driver's licenses, it was fun and exciting to allow them to drive our Rolls Royce." commitment, work the plan and be consistent.
