Paul & Bonnie Perkins

Paul and Bonnie of Utah are living proof of one of their favorite mantras, "everyday people can become extraordinary." The 5-Star Golden Circle couple went from pinching pennies to becoming Isagenix® millionaires in the least expected way.

After having three surgeries, Bonnie realized it was time to take control of her health and weight-loss challenges. She researched nutritional supplements and joined a network marketing company that offered what she thought was a solution to her struggles.

"I call it 'ignorance on fire' as I was just focused on getting my products for free and earning some extra income" explains Bonnie. "I just shared my success with others and the business followed."

Within her first six months, Bonnie had become a six-figure earner. She continued to share the products until she finally gave herself permission to talk about her financial success. As her Isagenix business flourished, she was able to retire from hairdressing in 2004. She also took an interest in personal development and attended trainings, including courses with mentors such as Jack Canfield, John Gray, Bob Proctor, Kathy Coover (CEO of Isagenix), David Wood (Isagenix trainer), and more amazing leaders.
