Brigitte Brynard - Her Story

Sapphire Director

To celebrate National Women’s Day, I would like to share my story.



I was always determined to be a stay at home mother. A few months before my first child was born, I resigned to stay home and care for my own child. I loved being at home with my baby but I needed income and even more, I needed contact with other people. There were not many stay at home moms. When my eldest child was close to three and I was still trying to fall pregnant again, I started looking around for something to do from home. I was typing at that stage for pocket money but I needed more, so I started looking at advertisements in the local newspaper.

I reacted on an advertisement and went for a presentation. This presentation was in someone’s home and a lady doing the presentation had a baby on the arm. I did not have much self-confidence and sat at the back and after the presentation I waited to speak to the person who invited me. I really did not understand much about the business, but what I liked was the fact that these cleaning products were all non-toxic, environment-friendly, versatile and economical. I could see myself using these and also selling them, so I registered with this company, Golden Products. I ordered a few basic products to use and I started attending the training sessions.

After enjoying the products myself, I started visiting my friends and introduced these products to them. I got orders easily and everyone seemed to know about Golden Products. Mothers and sisters also started to order from me. I also fell pregnant only one month after using the nutritional supplements. I continued to sell for four months and was earning great pocket money but something seemed wrong. At the training sessions, I noticed that the other people are earning so much more money than I was and that is when I realized that I should be building a network of distributors and not only selling products. I went home and started introducing the business on a one-to-one basis to other housewives. I preferred to work with people who were in the same situation as I was. Four more months passed and I became a director. The month I became a director, I was lying in hospital giving birth to my second child. My network did most of the work. That was great! My first big bonus was three times more than I used to earn when I was working for a boss four years before. The best thing about this bonus was that it was passive income.

I continued working from home building my customer and distributor base. When I gave birth to my third last child, a little girl after two boys, I decided to take it more easy and enjoy her.

Thanks to the health products I had three beautiful, intelligent and healthy children. They still got most of the children diseases, and the odd cold, but they never got seriously ill. Nutrition is so important. Even when you start planning your pregnancy you should already start feeding your body with the right nutrition. There was such a huge difference in health between my first child and the other two whom I call my ‘golden babies’. The first one was often sick as a baby, he had allergy problems, he was a colic baby and later he had concentration problems. The two golden babies never had any of these problems. Coincidence, I think not. Remember Healthy Babies become healthy children, healthy children become healthy adults and healthy adults become healthy elderly people. It is very difficult to get the necessary nutrition from our food, so we need to look at a whole food supplementation (not synthetic supplementation).

So how does network marketing work? It is very simple, you use your own products and now you introduce other distributors into your network who also use these products. At the end of the month you will receive bonus on your total team turnover. This is so great because i.e. if you spend 2 hours a day on your business and you have 10 distributors in your team you are now earning income on 20 hours a day. We call this residual income. Instead of doing 100% of the work you now get 10 people to help you and you each do 10% of the work. Is this a pyramid scheme? No, Pyramid schemes are illegal in our country and pyramid schemes do not have real products. Network marketing is a means of helping people create their own income. You register with a company, which is registered with the DSA (Direct Selling Association). You are now entitled to start your own independent business by selling the products of this company, which are not sold in retail stores. If you would want to sell your own line of products, this would cost you thousands, if not millions to do the research, development and production of products. Now you pay a small registration fee and do it within the network marketing company. They do the research, they produce the products and all you do is order them and sell them. The company even does the administration and pays your distributors. The money you get in your bank account is all yours. Network marketing as a business model is often applauded by financial gurus like Robert Kiyosaki (author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad) and Donald Trump.

There are many good network marketing companies in South Africa. I chose Golden Products, now called GNLD International because I believe that this Company really cares. We CARE about the environment by only supplying non-toxic, environment-friendly products. We CARE about the people by supplying only whole-food nutritional products that are absorbed by the human body and have been proven to actually work. “Based in Nature, Backed by Science”. We CARE about the distributors by supporting them in a fair bonus system. “The one who does the work, gets the pay”. And lastly we CARE about our family. If something should happen to me, my children inherit my income. This means that the effort, I am putting into my Network marketing business today will be to the benefit of my children and the next generations to come.

So if you are someone who CARES for your environment, for your family’s health and for your family’s future, you can also start an independent business with us for as little as only R500.00. This business has certainly changed my life by giving me the financial freedom and personal growth, to stay a housewife and at the same time being a self-confident business woman.

It does not matter how old you are or whether you have an education or not. Network marketing is open to all.

Times in our country are tough and they are going to get tougher. Many people are losing their homes, cars and struggling to pay their Debts. Does this have an influence on our business? Yes, more and more people are looking at means to make more additional income, just to make ends meet.
