NEWYORKLousiana Couple Hits 1M,Takes Empire State By Storm

OCT2012

Shannon and Rachetté Pardue are no

strangers to success. They have been living

the LIMU lifestyle for nearly a decade, and

have no intentions of slowing down. And

they recently achieved what most in this

industry can only dream about—hitting the

prestigious 1M distributorship level, one of

the most dramatic achievements possible

and the first 1M rank ever at LIMU. This truly

is what dreams are made of.

LIMU not only recognized Shannon and

Rachetté at our most recent ULTIMATE

EXPERIENCE PARTY, but also surprised

them with a unique 1M award that can only

be experienced: an all-expenses paid trip to

New York City.

IT IS ONE OF THE MOST DRAMATIC ACHIEVEMENTS POSSIBLE–AND IT’S HAPPENED AT LIMU FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.

Shannon and Rachetté were treated to a

true luxury vacation like no other in one

of the most iconic places in the world, a

city where determination and hard work

prevail. With its ever-changing diversity

of people, and the inspiration of big city

lights, New York has been a stepping-stone

for many successful business owners and

entrepreneurs. New York fosters creativity

and drive, nourishes passion and focus

while challenging your spirit to achieve

greater. Shannon and Rachetté embody

all of these admirable qualities, all while

remaining humble and true to themselves.

With $5,000 spending money in hand, the

couple enjoyed an exciting sendoff in the

heart of New Orleans, escorted down a red

carpet and into a sleek limousine outside as

their friends and peers cheered for them all

along the way.

A short trip to a private airport led the

two to their own private jet to begin their

dream New York City vacation. A city that

epitomizes success seemed just about right

for our company’s most successful husband

and wife. Talk to them about it now and

their eyes light up. They tell story after

story about how they never wanted the

vacation to stop.

“From the moment we stepped into the

car, it was just like a dream,” Rachetté says,

noting that they even had a butler

to unpack their bags and driver to take

“FROM THE MOMENT WE STEPPED INTO THE CAR, IT WAS JUST LIKE A DREAM.”

“RACHETTÉ WOULD HAVE STAYED EVEN LONGER, IF SHE COULD HAVE GOTTEN AWAY WITH IT!”

them wherever they wished, whenever

they wanted.

“And the plane ride, it was just like silk,”

Shannon adds. Outside of their two

pilots, he and his lovely wife were the

only passengers, trading the regular

airline peanuts and Cokes for an endless

array of grapes, strawberries and fine

artisan cheeses.

Once in the Big Apple, they stayed in a

fantastic two-story penthouse suite on the

top floor of the Plaza Hotel, where they

were able to greet each day with a birds-

eye view of Central Park, conveniently

located right across the street and a place

they walked every single day of their stay.

Over five days, they didn’t lift a finger.

They didn’t make a meal. They didn’t want

for anything. They fully enjoyed being

treated like the king and queen they are,

doing things most never do in a lifetime.

They enjoyed front row seats to a sold-out

performance of the Tony Award-winning

Broadway musical Once (“We could have

reached out and touched the actors, we

were so close!”), exquisite multi-course

dinners at some of the finest restaurants

in the nation (the historic Smith and

Wollensky steakhouse, and Mario Batali’s

Del Posto), massages and pampering at

the exquisite Caudalie Spa, sumptuous

breakfasts at The Palms and a thrilling

jazz performance by Generations in Jazz

at the Lincoln Center (“The perfect view

of Central Park during the concert was

stunning, almost unbelievable!”).

Let’s not leave out their romantic carriage

ride through Central Park (admittedly

their very favorite part of their trip), lots

of walking, sightseeing, shopping on Fifth

Avenue and, well, that list goes on and on.

Shannon says Rachetté would have stayed

longer, too, if she could have gotten away

with it. It speaks volumes about the kind

of luxurious vacation it was … one of those

special trips you never quite want to come

to an end.

They came, they saw, they conquered New

York City, all compliments of LIMU and

thanks to their unparalleled work ethic

and success. Chances are good they never

would have made this trip on their own

either, left to their own devices.

“We’d been to New York several times

before on business,” Shannon says, “but

we’d never actually taken the time to

really be there before. This was very, very

different. This was magical.”

Shannon and Rachetté were graciously

gifted this unique once-in-a-lifetime

vacation after setting a milestone by

becoming LIMU’s very first 1M Promoters.

Their hard work and dedication is

applauded by the company and serves as a

true testament to making the most of your

LIMU EXPERIENCE, every single day.

Dream big. Dream often. Your own 1M

experience awaits.

“WE’D BEEN TO NEW YORK SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE ON BUSINESS, BUT WE’D NEVER ACTUALLY TAKEN THE TIME TO REALLY BE THERE BEFORE. THIS WAS VERY, VERY DIFFERENT. THIS WAS MAGICAL.”
