Ben Arend — At 16, Youngest Platinum in Vemma History!－| MY VEMMA BLOG

For high school sophomore and Vemma Brand Partner Ben Arend, Vemma came along at just the right time. “My parents had been telling me I had to get a job. Vemma’s a great opportunity for young people. They agreed to support me with Vemma, and I appreciate the flexibility of running my own business. Sure, it’s hard sometimes when your friends want to hang out on a Friday night, but it’s worth it. Stick to your priorities. Hard work pays off.” Ben has progressed rapidly with Vemma, becoming the youngest Diamond in the history of the company. He’s on track to hitting Platinum this month!

Starting his Business

Ben first heard about Vemma from his friend Cody Barton. “Cody’s basically like my big brother now, through building Vemma together. Cody just graduated from high school and is now Executive, but at the time he was Gold, so he wasn’t making much money yet. Even though I was so young, he took me seriously. Cody explained the healthy energy drink and kept mentioning the long term. I went home and talked to my parents. We had a meeting with Cody, and a week later I joined. I signed up about three weeks before last year’s Convention, so I went to Convention as Bronze.” Ben says that his next goal is to qualify for a BMW 335i Coupe by the end of his sophomore year.*

Overcoming the High School Mentality

“One of my first problems early on was that most kids my age aren’t that motivated to work hard and take this seriously,” he says. “They’re still living off mom and dad, and many don’t see why they have to do this. I overcame that by working with kids slightly older than me.” Ben encourages new Brand Partners to stick to the proven system and stay in contact with their upline leaders. “I tell them, don’t think you have to do this all by yourself. My upline helped me from the start, doing calls, trainings, pushing me and motivating me to get to the next level. I didn’t hold back. I was excited, I got my Silver pack, talked to my friends, got some friends on board, and then built my teams. Now it’s expanded out of the country.”

The Vemma Difference

Ben says the biggest impact Vemma has had on him is how it has changed him personally. “It’s made me more of a positive person, looking at the positive side of things. It makes me wake up and do stuff and accomplish things. I’m more outgoing, more motivated and driven. When I first started with Vemma, I was motivated by money and earning enough so I didn’t have to get a regular job.* Now, I’m more focused on helping people and helping them get to where I am. I’m a better person.” Long term, Ben plans to graduate from high school, continue building his Vemma business, go to college, and someday invest in housing and stocks.
