4 Diamond- WOW! 

This wasn’t an easy task by any means, and I personally about gave up 2/3 the way through the month, let my directors know that it wasn’t happening.. The next day a couple came to me and told me not to give up on them! Yikes. I was giving up on me- not them?  Wrong, what I’ve been preaching for 7 years came back on me- we are a team- linking arms and achieving OUR GOALS, TOGETHER we are the JJTRIBE. So we created a plan to keep us all going, the final two days we had drawings for sales, celebrated the small wins that in turn created the BIG WIN and united together stronger than we ever have! 

We rode the wave - September we had our biggest month ever, we have had steady growth in general, but then we added a few key people that truly helped us get to the next level. With over 50 newbies joining last month, the team was on fire and ready to promote! I feel very blessed to be part of such an incredible group of individuals that have all crossed paths at this moment to become THE JJTRIBE!

Wow!  I can hardly believe it. I'm beyond excited! This accomplishment is so big for me! God has blessed me with an incredible team and amazing customers that I am so thankful for. He has also surrounded me with the best leaders to learn and grow from. I couldn't have done this without each and every one of them. They are truly a gift. I know when they see me reach a goal and/or a dream it causes them to believe they can do it too. What an incredible journey this has been for me since I joined at the end of August 2023.  I will always be thankful for Nancy's vision and dream for this company because it has given me a platform to grow and achieve in ways I never even imagined.

Hi- I'm Bobbi Trisko from MN and truly blessed to have found a new home with Jordan Essentials. In October, after 17 years with my current company, I was found with an unexpected decision to figure out what's next and God led me to a conversation with Nancy. An incredible testimony in how God is so good and one of trust and obedience. We are loving our new Green Bubble and I'm truly blessed to get to partner with some of the best! Thank you for your warm welcome JE.. The best is yet to come.

Gratitude and Exciting News!

As I reflect on the past seven years as a Jordan Essentials Consultant and five years as a Director, I am filled with immense gratitude for every single one of my customers and friends who have supported me along this journey.

Because of Susan's dedication, hard work, and the success of her team, she has achieved the rank of Director! Her accomplishment has also led to my promotion to Diamond Director – a moment that is both overwhelming and deeply gratifying.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to do what I love, share these amazing Jordan Essentials products, and work with such an incredible community & my amazing Team!

 Thank you all for being a part of this journey. Here's to continued success, growth, and empowering others together!

With heartfelt gratitude 

Thank you everyone

Wow!! What a month November was! It will definitely become a core memory for me! I never thought that when I joined on October 22, 2024 that I would be asked to write about my promotion for the newsletter!

I knew that Jordan Essentials was the right company for me after my current adventure with Thirty-One was up. Nancy spoke at our Leadership Convention in January 2024, and her keynote speech followed me throughout the year. A lot of personal and business obstacles have happened this year, but all I heard in the back of my head was, “Everything will work out for Heather”. This was over and over again. I wasn’t sure if I would ever see Nancy again, but I knew that she would always be with me in my head! LOL.

Fast forward to September 2024 when I found out that I was being let go from my full time job due to location strategy and October 2024 when we found out that Thirty-One was closing it’s doors for good at the end of the year, I just kept hearing Nancy – “Everything will work out for Heather”. After doing a lot of thinking about what I wanted to do next, if anything, I knew my journey was being led here and I wouldn’t change it for the world!

Here's to many more years of opening people’s eyes to the amazing products and family we have here!

Thank you for making the transition easy and being welcoming to so many!

Thank you for the amazing welcome! Our team is beyond excited (and let’s be real, a little nervous too!) to jump in the Jordan with all of you. We can't wait to soak up wisdom from the incredible women who’ve paved the way. We believe JE was destined to be part of our journey, and we’re ready to learn, grow, and thrive together! Here’s to a smooth, successful shift from Bags to Mags!

Oh, and my friends call me JP—can’t wait to call all of you my friends soon too!

Lynn Beise
Director

Wow, what a wild and wonderful month it’s been! On October 28, 2024, I joined Jordan Essentials after God made it abundantly clear—through my prayers and tears—that this was my “what’s next.” After a great conversation filled with laughs with Marian, I took the leap, and I’ve loved every single step of the journey so far. To top it off, I became a Director with a team of over 20 much faster than I ever expected. Just another beautiful “God wink” that this is exactly where I’m meant to be. Before Jordan Essentials, I spent over nine years with another direct sales company. I started part-time, eventually working toward leadership and turning it into my full-time career for the last five years. While it was a wonderful chapter, God had something new in store. A couple of years ago, my husband of 29 years and I made a big life change, moving from suburbia to the middle of nowhere in northern Minnesota—literally four hours away. Our tiny town has a population of 100, and while it’s a trek to get to anything like shopping or doctors (1–1.5 hours!), the people here have been amazing and welcoming. Why did we move? To care for my 81-year-old mom, who has mild-to-moderate dementia. We knew keeping her in her home was best for her, so we moved to help her stay there as long as possible.

We have two incredible adult sons, ages 24 and 21, who we try to see as often as we can. They are such a blessing! A little more about me: I started living a more natural lifestyle when my boys were little because I wanted the best, healthiest start for them. Over time, that grew into a passion for natural living. While I’m not 100% crunchy, I’m pretty close! Believe it or not, I was already using magnesium lotion before finding Jordan Essentials. I also worked for a natural doctor for over four years, which taught me so much about health and wellness. So, when I learned about Jordan Essentials, it felt like the perfect next step on my journey. I’m so excited to share my knowledge, my experiences, and all that Jordan Essentials has to offer with others. Thank you, Judy, Nancy, and Marian, for welcoming me so warmly. I can’t wait to see what the future holds!

What a whirlwind the last few weeks have been… so grateful that the Jordan Essentials family has welcomed us with open hearts & open arms when we needed a soft place to land after ThirtyOne Gifts announced they would be closing their doors. After being with the company for almost 14 years, I was heartbroken and could’ve never imagined the path God had laid out for me with Jordan Essentials. In the Pink Bubble, it was always about "More than a Bag". We are quickly realizing the community & culture in the Green Bubble feels very familiar and learning it will now be “More than MAG". As a busy soccer mom of 2 and a part-time PreK teacher, I am so grateful for the flexible schedule that this opportunity provides and so excited to continue to learn & grow with Team TRUST and all of you along the way. God is writing this next chapter & I’m here for it!

My journey began with a prayer for help, I had back surgery and had been in a car accident 2 years later. 

I heard one word, magnesium. The very next day, my husband and I had planned to go to Sugar Creek, Ohio. Where we parked our car was in front of a vendor, Diane Brown selling Jordan Essentials Magnesium lotion. The lotion worked so fast, I found it hard to believe.

So after 6 years of successfully using products one morning in February 2023 I woke up saying “Oh my I’m going to sell these products!” and I was turning 70!

I have given many samples, learned how to do spa parties, vendor events and now working on a VIP group. (Many calls to headquarters with Rhonda) 

Sharing, caring wanting to help others who suffer has been a strong motivating force. 

Somehow I got to this moment. This was my hardest month, life happened….and I sat back and watched my team become a qualified consultant one at a time. Be still and know that I am God comes to mind.  grateful for the journey! Thank you Nancy Bogart for making this possible, and for that divine appointment, Lord with Diane Brown.

I became a Jordie about 3 weeks ago! In 2 weeks I was a Director and jumping into Leadership! It has been a whirlwind with my previous direct sales business closing and jumping into Jordan but I’m learning a lot! My late grandmother was a Christian missionary and went in the Jordan River on one of her many trips. She passed recently and I found a picture of her crouched down in the river. She brought me back water from the Dead Sea when I was a young girl. I held onto that vial of water until just the salts were left. Little did I know many years later this would all make sense as to why this memory stayed with me so clearly.

 I was sad to say goodbye to so many team members and customers I loved and couldn’t imagine archiving my VIP group with my business closing but thought I was ready for a break. I listened to a zoom recording aloud in the car on the way home from a long weekend away with family. Hope Shortt (one of my Pink Bubble friends) had shared it with me. I heard Nancy speak about where the name Jordan Essentials came from. My eyes filled with tears, memories of my Gram came flooding back and I looked at my husband and said “I’m doing it. This is my sign”.

Several of my team members joined me with excitement and nervousness about learning something new. My customers have been so supportive. I am thankful for relationships and trust we’ve built with one another. For me this business is about creating personal relationships and helping others.

So far I’m loving the natural products and feel good making a shift to less chemicals.  Seeing my father get some relief from advanced neuropathy with Helio lotion has been a great accomplishment so far. I can’t wait to learn, share and grow!

Sarah Mai Johnson
Director

After years of being a wife, mom, and nurse, I realized I needed something just for me—something to break free from the hamster wheel and rediscover myself. That’s when I found direct sales, and it gave me the chance to thrive as *Sarah*.  

For seven incredible years, I poured my heart into building a career with a company I loved. When that chapter came to an end due to their closure, I knew I couldn’t stop there. I found Jordan Essentials, and it was like coming home. The values, the community, and the unmatched leadership made it clear this was where I was meant to be.  

Now, I’m embracing this new journey, connecting with amazing people, and helping others while continuing to grow and thrive! I am home.

Linda Moore

A year ago, I sat in a room, completely inspired by Nancy Bogart, the founder of Jordan Essentials, who spoke as a keynote at a Thirty-One leadership summit. Her words lit a spark in me. Fast forward to now, when our beloved Thirty-One closed its doors, I knew I had a choice to make. I needed a company that didn’t just feel like a fit but checked all the boxes: ✔️ Established company ✔️ Products made in the USA ✔️ Natural, high-quality products ✔️ A supportive, uplifting team ✔️ Excellent pay and fab promotions ✔️ No pressure, no monthly minimums ✔️ A starter kit to launch my biz ✔️ Ability to build my Rockstar team ✔️ Freedom to withdraw commissions anytime So when my 31 BFF said she was joining Jordan Essentials, I didn’t hesitate—I said, HECK YES! Now, I’m building something new, with a company that inspires me and gives me the tools to thrive. And guess what? There’s room to grow! 🎉 Let’s dream big, work smart, and achieve anything. Let’s do this together and make it happen! 💪✨

Patty Regan
Director

Patty joined Jordan back in 2017, when it first came to Pennsylvania. She walked over to Karen Simpson’s launch party, and fell in love with the products almost immediately! That same night, she realized the “consultant” was actually Nancy Bogart herself, who came all the way from Nixa, Missouri to a small country road in Edinboro, PA to share them. She decided then and there that if Nancy believed in her products (and her company)enough to come that far, she needed to be a part of it too!   

“I love that we are a purposeful company who help people feel better in their daily life. I love who we are as people, and the morals and values that we stand for. I love that we support each other so fervently and still have so much fun together! I have found my forever family in Jordan Essentials, and am eternally grateful!”  

Patty is the mother of five, and grandparent of two! She retired from her “day” job in 2021, after working 36 years for the County of Erie, mostly in a Magisterial District Court, and including 15 years part-time at the County Library while her children were growing up. Her hobbies (outside of sharing Jordan) include reading, walking, canning and freezing produce from the family gardens, Hallmark Christmas movies, and spending time with friends.

What a whirlwind of fun this has been! Very recently, I was dealing with my current company closing and had no plans to do anything until well into the new year.  Jordan Essentials found me and I could not be happier! I love chasing carrots and jE has given me plenty of fun carrots to chase!

I live in Paris, KY with my husband, Eric. Both kids are off to college so we are new empty nesters figuring out what to do next. With empty nesting comes the aches, pains & lack of sleep. I had no idea how much I need JE! I’ve been so impressed with the products and the heart of the company. 

Shout out to my awesome friends who have joined me on this fun journey!

I’m a Director coming from the pink bubble of Thirty One Gifts. I’m excited to find a new home at JE.

I’m a gal who is passionate in life and the things I do. I believe we can achieve anything we set our mind to. I love singing and music helps fuel my soul. 

I just finished building a home and moving to Florida this past August from Michigan and am loving it! I’m pretty sure sunshine and sand runs through my veins, LOL. 

I’m looking forward to helping others with the products we offer and seeing where this new journey leads me.

Amanda Webb
Director

Hi friends, I’m Amanda Web. I’m from Mount Clare, WV. My husband, Josh & I have been married for 22 years. We have a 16 year old son & 14 year old daughter. I’ve been a stay at home mom since our son was born.

I’m pretty new here. I just discovered JE in October of 2024 and enrolled November 7th, 2024. After finding out the company I’ve been with for over 9 years was closing, I started researching companies that were similar to the mission and values I loved so much about the prior company. The Lord lead me here and I’m absolutely loving it.

Leadership was never on my radar with my prior company, but after a year with them I promoted. I was honored to serve over 8 years in leadership with them. When I saw that was happening here within weeks of enrolling and not knowing all the things, my heart was filled with gratitude.

I’m so thankful to be part of the JE family. Everyone has been so welcoming. I’m excited for this next chapter. I have fallen in love with the products and sharing them with everyone I know.

Last month, I had the honor of ranking among the top sales. Looking back to November 2024, I had 12% growth over last year. I’m pretty thankful with the way that the economy has been. Blessed for sure!

My mission has always been clear: I’m striving to get our incredible Magnesium Lotion on every bedside table in America. When I joined Jordan Essentials on December 1, 2017, it was because of the Peppermint Magnesium Lotion. I immediately saw the potential in Nancy’s amazing product and felt compelled to share it with everyone who would listen!

My focus has never been about being “top” in anything—it’s about making a meaningful impact. I want to connect people with solutions that can truly improve their lives. So, let’s spread the word, share these life-changing products, and help as many people as possible.

Because if they have issues, we have solutions. Let’s MAG UP and make it happen! Are you running with me? Let’s go!

November’s Record-Breaking Sales and Exciting Momentum for December!

What an incredible November we’ve had, Jordies! This past month will go down in history as one of the best sales seasons we’ve ever seen. Thanks to your hard work and dedication, we achieved a record number of promotions and welcomed many new Jordies to our growing family! It’s clear that the energy, passion, and commitment of our community are unstoppable.

As we step into December, let’s keep this amazing momentum going. The holiday season offers endless opportunities to connect with customers, share the gift of Jordan Essentials, and set ourselves up for a strong start to the new year. To help you make this month truly unforgettable, here are 5 tips for December success:

1. Focus on Holiday Shopping Needs

Your customers are looking for thoughtful gifts, and Jordan Essentials has the perfect options! Highlight products like the Holiday Collection, gift sets, and stocking stuffers. Create bundles or offer suggestions to help them check off everyone on their list.

2. Keep Sponsoring

November brought so many new Jordies, and December is a great time to invite more people to join the family. Share your story, talk about the benefits of being a part of JE, and let them know about the flexible business opportunities available—especially during the holidays.

3. Follow Up with Customers

Reach out to your customers who shopped in November. Thank them for their support, share any December specials, and ask if they need last-minute gifts. A little extra attention can turn a one-time shopper into a loyal customer!

4. Host a Festive Event

Bring the holiday spirit to life by hosting a holiday-themed party or class. Whether it’s virtual or in-person, showcase products, share gift-giving ideas, and have fun while building connections. Remember, people love to shop when they’re having a good time!

5. Set Your Personal Goals

Take time to set clear goals for December. Whether it’s reaching a personal sales milestone, earning a promotion, or sponsoring new team members, writing down your goals and taking action will keep you focused and motivated.

As we wrap up this record-breaking year, let’s remember that each success is a result of your hard work, dedication, and the heart you bring to Jordan Essentials. Together, we’ve made a difference not just in sales, but in the lives we touch every day. Let’s finish December strong, uplift one another, and keep spreading the joy of wellness and community.

Here’s to an unforgettable season and an even brighter future ahead!

Essentially yours,
Nancy

Be Present: A Gift for Yourself, Your Family, and Your Business This Holiday Season

The holiday season is here—a time filled with joy, connection, and sometimes a little chaos. As your to-do list grows, it’s easy to feel stretched thin, but this year, let’s focus on the greatest gift we can give: presence.

Be Present for Yourself
Self-care isn’t selfish; it’s necessary. Take a moment each day to breathe deeply, reflect, and do something that nurtures your well-being. Whether it’s a warm bath with Dead Sea Salts, a few minutes of journaling, or simply savoring a quiet cup of tea, these moments recharge you for the season’s demands.

Be Present for Your Family
Amid the hustle, don’t forget what makes this season magical—spending time with loved ones. Turn off your phone, gather for a board game, bake cookies, or simply share stories. It’s these moments of connection that create lasting memories.

Be Present for Your Business
Staying grounded and intentional in your business this holiday season can create ripple effects. Instead of multitasking, dedicate focused time to your goals. Whether you’re hosting a holiday workshop or connecting with customers about their gifting needs, your genuine presence will shine through and strengthen relationships.

This holiday season, let’s focus on what truly matters. By being present for yourself, your family, and your business, you’ll find joy not only in giving but also in being. It’s the ultimate gift—one that keeps on giving long after the season ends.

Stay grounded, stay present, and savor the moments. You deserve it!
