A SUCCESSFUL AMERICAN SHARES THE SECRETS OF HER SUCCESS WITH THE BULGARIANS

January 23, 2013

Following the recent visit of the US Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, another successful Amer-ican woman pays a visit to Bulgaria. Wendy Lewis is on the Direct Selling News’ (DSA) list The Most Influential Women in Direct Selling. According to Wendy, the success of Jeu-nesse® Global, a company that specializes in selling innovative skincare and nutritional products for both men and women, is not difficult to explain. Her

formula of success is easy–to work with leaders and distributors, and help all those who need help. Wendy thinks that the direct sales business opportunity is unique in the sense that everybody has an equal chance to participate and profit from it. “It does not matter what level of education you have,” says Wendy, “you just have to listen to what your clients say.” As any woman would be, she is happy that she managed to combine her responsibilities towards her family with those of such a successful business.

Having reached the pinnacle of success, she feels a strong sense of responsibility to help those in need. In 2012, Wendy and her husband Randy’s charity organization Jeunesse Kids™ partnered with Global Village Foundation to organize a charity project aimed at helping physically challenged people and refugees in Bulgaria. Please read below for an interview with Wendy regarding Jeunesse® and Jeunesse Kids™.

As my husband Randy likes to say, “We want to feed all boys and girls who are hungry.” As a child, he was very poor and did not have enough food. He often went to bed feeling hungry.

We are trying to help all the people who need our help, to make them happier.INTERVIEWER. What is the relationship between Jeunesse® Global, Global Village, and its founder–Yank Barry?WENDY LEWIS.

WENDY LEWIS. We happily welcome the idea of distributing our products in Bulgaria.INTERVIEWER. When?WENDY LEWIS. We do not have the exact date, but I think at the end of 2013.

Is Jeunesse Kids™ planning on helping those in need in Bulgaria on a regular basis?WENDY LEWIS. That is our goal.

We believe that we have the best program in the world for women who want to be financially independent. Our greatest advantage is in the fact that everybody needs our products.
