Ben Arend-来至高中二年级的维玛经营伙伴，在对的时间经营维玛！
 “我的父母一直告诉我，我必须找一份工作。维玛是给予年轻人的一个很好机会。他们同意并支持我从事Vemma，我很欣赏自己有这么灵活性的业务运行。虽然是无法在星期五的晚上出门玩乐，但是这是很值得的。坚持你的优先事业，皇天不负有心人。”

 

 

Ben与Vemma的进展迅速，成为公司历史上最年轻的钻石领袖。并且还在2013年2月份登上了白金领袖！

For high school sophomore and Vemma Brand Partner Ben Arend, Vemma came along at just the right time. “My parents had been telling me I had to get a job. Vemma's a great opportunity for young people. They agreed to support me with Vemma, and I appreciate the flexibility of running my own business. Sure, it's hard sometimes when your friends want to hang out on a Friday night, but it's worth it. Stick to your priorities. Hard work pays off.” Ben has progressed rapidly with Vemma , becoming the youngest Diamond in the history of the company. He's on track to hitting Platinum this month!

 

Ben是如何接触Vemma
Starting his Business

 

Ben第一次听说维玛，是从他的朋友科迪·巴顿。 “科迪基本上是我的大家长，一起建立维玛事业。科迪刚刚从高中毕业，现在已是总裁。但当时，他是金级领袖，并还没有赚很多钱。尽管我是如此年轻，但他对我很认真。科迪不断提及解释Vemma的健康能量饮料。之后我与我父母商量后，一个星期后，我加入了Vemma。去年的年会前3周我升级铜级配套。 ”Ben说，他的下一个目标是他大学二年级结束前要领取宝马335i双门轿跑车的资格。

 

Ben first heard about Vemma from his friend Cody Barton. “Cody's basically like my big brother now, through building Vemma together. Cody just graduated from high school and is now Executive, but at the time he was Gold, so he wasn't making much money yet. Even though I was so young, he took me seriously. Cody explained the healthy energy drink and kept mentioning the long term. I went home and talked to my parents. We had a meeting with Cody, and a week later I joined. I signed up about three weeks before last year's Convention, so I went to Convention as Bronze.”
Ben says that his next goal is to qualify for a BMW 335i Coupe by the end of his sophomore year.

 

克服高中心理障碍
Overcoming the High School Mentality

 

“早些时候，我的第一个问题是，认为大多数同龄孩子都不积极和努力.”Ben说。 “他们生活仍然依靠父母，而且很多人也不明白为什么他们必须这样做。但是，我克服了这点，并与稍微比我大的孩子们一起创业。”
Ben不断鼓励新的伙伴，坚持行之有效的制度，并与他们的教练保持接触。 “我告诉他们，这不是你一个人工作。我们的上线都是无限代合作一直都再帮忙著大家，提供培训，激励我们去一个创建新的水平。我很兴奋当我升上银级，并告诉朋友这些消息，有一些朋友也一起加入了我的成功线，然后建立了我的团队。现在，我的团队已经扩大到其他国家了。”

 

“One of my first problems early on was that most kids my age aren't that motivated to work hard and take this seriously,” he says. “They're still living off mom and dad, and many don't see why they have to do this. I overcame that by working with kids slightly older than me.” Ben encourages new Brand Partners to stick to the proven system and stay in contact with their upline leaders. “I tell them, don't think you have to do this all by yourself. My upline helped me from the start, doing calls, trainings, pushing me and motivati​​ng me to get to the next level. I didn't hold back. I was excited, I got my Silver pack, talked to my friends, got some friends on board, and then built my teams. Now it's expanded out of the country.”

 

维玛差异
The Vemma Difference

 

Ben说维玛最大的影响是让他改变了他自己。 “他让我成为一个积极的人，看事物都往积极的一面。他让我完成我的梦想。他让我是成为一个外向，积极和有驱动的人。当我第一次开始使用维玛，我的动机是钱，赚到足够的钱，所以我没有找过一份任何工作。现在，我更侧重于帮助别人，帮助他们获得像我一样的梦想。”
从长期来看，Ben计划高中毕业后，继续建立他的Vemma业务，并上大学，并把赚到的钱投资在房屋和股票市场。

 

Ben says the biggest impact Vemma has had on him is how it has changed him personally. “It's made me more of a positive person, looking at the positive side of things. It makes me wake up and do stuff and accomplish things. I' m more outgoing, more motivated and driven. When I first started with Vemma, I was motivated by money and earning enough so I didn't have to get a regular job.* Now, I'm more focused on helping people and helping them get to where I am. I'm a better person.” Long term, Ben plans to graduate from high school, continue building his Vemma business, go to college, and someday invest in housing and stocks.
