Ronel Kruger
My name is Ronel Kruger, and I live in a very small, beautiful town in South Africa. Being involved in the beauty industry for about 17 Years, you could say that I lived my passion – to help women discover their beauty from both the inside and outside.
My Nu Skin journey started in November 2018. Those who know me well would agree I do not enjoy moving out of my comfort zone. If something works for me, why change it? When I discovered Nu Skin, I immediately loved the products. However, the business side of Nu Skin was something that challenged my comfort zone in a big way.. I could not imagine myself promoting the business opportunity to people.
Upon attending another Nu Skin Event in February 2019, something changed. While I did feel out of my comfort zone, I also realized that this is the company I wanted to grow with. It reflected to my vision, and most importantly, I found it to be trustworthy. I took the bold step to make a change, to face and overcome the fear of interacting with people on a business level, to share the most amazing business opportunity and to become an entrepreneur.
Living in a very small country town, I never imagined this journey would have such an impact on my life as a woman, wife and mom of two beautiful children. At this stage I was managing two jobs, and now a third, Nu Skin. I started to realize that Nu Skin is a business that I wanted to commit to. I made the decision to push fear aside, to believe in myself and to chase my goals. A big goal of mine for about 9 years was to be a ‘work-from-home-mom’, to have family time with my children, to support them in their own activities and goals.
With the encouragement of my motivated leaders, the support of my family and my commitment to give 100% to the goals I wanted to achieve, I am finally there.
People often ask me “Ronel, what is your next goal?” It is simple — what motivates me is to help other people reach their goals! I believe that hard work can pay off. If you commit every single day, you might discover each step of the journey is so worthwhile.
My advice to you: “If you want to chase your goals, start today, because tomorrow is a day later from your goals. Believe in yourself. If you fall, make sure you fall forward. No matter where you live, do not think that your opportunities are limited in a small place. As long as you believe in yourself, it does not matter where you are.”
I will round off with an inspiring quote that I look at every day, in my office and on my fridge, which is a great encouragement to me when I go through challenges in both business and in life:
"When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure."
