WELCOME TO THE BUSINESS HUB
Hello and welcome to the Business Hub. In case we haven't met yet, my name is Brandi Bunda and I am a leader in the Drops to Ripples community! I would love to share a little of my entrepreneurial story with you so you can get to know me a little better. In July 2022, I celebrated 10 years of incorporating Young Living products into our everyday lives. Frankincense was our gateway oil. I first got my kit because my dad had been diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer and we decided to use oils to help support him on his journey. After 8 weeks of chemo and radiation, my dad's doctor released him from treatment saying the cancer was very aggressive and his body was not responding to the drugs. But, we continued our own regimen using essential oils, drinking NingXia Red, and taking a variety of supplements, as well as making other dietary and lifestyle changes... and in April 2014, 18 months after being released from conventional treatment, my dad's scan showed that he was CANCER FREE (a miracle we only praise God for... thank you, Jesus)!! 

He has been in remission ever since. I promised God I would share the goodness of essential oils with anyone who would listen! I truly believe they are a gift from Jesus that we can enjoy daily for the betterment of our health + well-being. 
BUSINESS FUN FACTS
  • I was a happy product user for 18 months before I started pursuing YL as an income stream.
  • I hit Executive 3 months into my business journey
  • I took a road trip to Young Living's 20th Anniversary convention in 2014 alongside my dad.
  • It took me 6 years to hit the rank of SILVER for the first time.
  • In 2020 I earned an all-expense paid trip to visit the Young Living Lavender Farm in Mona, UT.
  • In 2021 I attended the Silver Retreat to frolic in the lavender fields, dive into business education, and explore the distillery to witness how our precious oils are made.
  • In February 2022, I reclaimed the rank of Silver and earned the Rise to Rank incentive.
  • In the fall of 2022, I launched my design business where I'm able to utilize my creative skills by assisting other brand partners & entrepreneurs with graphic and web design services.
I tell you this because the business looks different for everyone. Some see an increase month after month and sometimes you will experience dips in your business. This is the reality of entrepreneurship. One thing I know for certain is that every health + wellness success story I've had over the past 10 years involves the use of these oils and products. I will never be without them. I will be a customer for life so I will continue to share about all the ways we use these products in hopes that others will feel inspired to use them too!

I started this business with the goal of getting my oils paid for and over the years... I've been able to help buy groceries for my family, pay bills, pay for extra-curricular activities for my kids, gift oils to others, help send my kids to Mother's Day out, and reinvest money back into my business in a multitude of ways. Whatever your reason for pursuing this additional income stream, it is here for you. I am blessed to be here walking alongside you, cheering you on while you chase your goals and dreams.

One of the greatest blessings of saying YES to this business is the friendships and community I've gained in this space. I encourage you to get involved, ask questions, and dive in. I am so happy that you're here and wish you bountiful blessings on your oily journey and much success as you build your Young Living business. - xo, Brandi
