Retired in 4 Months from Factory Work to Run Home-Based Noni Juice Business

- by Janice Ayre

"They all laughed when I told them I was marketing a fruit juice from Tahiti - but when I retired from factory work in 4 months to run a home-based Noni Juice business, they knew I had something special," says Ken Rolfsness.
You only have to talk to Ken Rolfsness for a few minutes to realize his passion - his passion for Noni, his passion to help others, and his passion for life. The only thing that separates Ken from others is his degree of passion.

June 3, 1998 was the beginning of a new life for Ken. At first he had turned down the offer to join the fastest growing 2 year old Company, selling a fruit juice. He was very negative because, while he had never worked in this type of business he had seen enough to decide that there was a great division between the promises and the reality of many small business companies. It wasn't until he listened to the tape "Look Who's Talking About Noni" sent all the way from the US, that he became interested.
 
At the Point of being Fired from his Real Estate Sales job - Ken Recognized the Power and Uniqueness of Noni Juice

 Ken had come from a hardworking but poor family. They had spent their lives working in factories and other similar low paid hard jobs. He knew about cash shortage, 'hand-me-down' clothes and the dirtiness and hardship of working in a tyre factory amongst all the dust and smoke. Before leaving his job in the factory he found out what it was like to be promoted to management. It meant changing the colour of his shirt, carrying business cards, working harder, and getting less pay.
 

At the time he was offered the opportunity to become an Tahitian Noni International Independent Distributor he was at the point of being fired from his Real Estate sales job because he could NOT sell! But he knew his boss, Phil was a highly successful businessman (he was listed in the 1998 & 2001 'Who's Who). Ken used the theory, "He's rich and I'm poor, he can advise me", so he took the tape to Phil with this thought in mind. Each day Ken would ask Phil, "Have you listened to it yet?"
What happened then is a surprise to Ken even now. Phil rang Ken from the US and said, "Ken, we are going to be rich!" He had travelled to the US, visited Tahitian Noni Int'l, talked not only with the founders but with the workers at the water fountain and satisfied himself that Ken was on to something big. Until this moment Ken had not thought Phil would be interested personally, he had just wanted his advice.
 
Ken's greatest asset has been to recognize the power and uniqueness of the fruit juice and how it can change peoples' lives. He didn't worry about how the product works or how much money could be made, he focused on what it did for his family and friends. Ken didn't even personally feel the benefit of Noni (other than greater energy) until after having it for 6 months. But he did witness the dramatic improvement of the health in members of his family. He saw his very best friend gain financial success in three or four months as an Tahitian Noni Int'l Independent Distributor, after 8 years on the dole.

Physical and Financial Health

The important thing to Ken is not the money, but the opportunity. He loves what he does, it is so simple. He offers a natural fruit juice that has been used by the French Polynesian people for over 2,000 years for improved health and wellness. In fact, it has been praised by the Chinese people for over 3,000 years and hailed "The Queen of the Healing Plants."

"Its the juice that does the selling - not me," says Ken.
 

Enjoy the Finer Things of Life

Tahitian Noni Int'l is a product driven company and so even when Ken took 1.5 years off he maintained his income. His work is like a hobby to him. He is excited to see the changes it makes in peoples' lives. His life has come together as he balances his life well between time with his family, his church activities, and his band. He has accomplished his desire to travel extensively, along the way enjoying 5 and 6 star accommodation, fine clothes and fine restaurants. He likes it that his wife can go shopping without having to look at a calculator and that she can have the luxury car of her choice.

The important thing for Ken is that he can enjoy the finer things of life but still keep his feet on the ground. His advice to anyone who wants to be successful in this business: "Speak from your heart and you can't go wrong."
