A Seed of Hope
By Randi Escobar
D
ecades before I became involved in network
marketing, a seed of hope was planted in my
heart by a woman whom I never had the privilege to meet. To this day, she is probably unaware
of the profound effect her anonymous gift had on
my family’s future.
In the spring of 1992, I sat in the warehouse
of our family-owned retail business with my
husband and our children packing cardboard
boxes with products and getting them ready to
ship. It was approaching midnight and we still
had many orders left to fill. We had given all our
energy to our business and we were still at the
stage where we couldn’t afford to hire help. We
often worked late into the night to sustain our
young company.
I remember that evening well. We were taking
a break from our work, when out of the corner of
my eye I noticed a woman slipping a magazine
under our office door. I didn’t know the woman,
but the magazine intrigued me. I began flipping
through it and reading stories of people from
all different backgrounds who had built a successful home business. The stories related how
these individuals had recovered from financial
challenges and had gone on to live prosperous,
productive, purpose-driven lives.
These stories of hope reminded me that the
American dream was still alive. I thought of
my husband, Tony, saving for years to come to
America from Australia. He had bought a ticket
on a ship and arrived in America with $50 in his
pocket, a Greyhound bus pass, and a dream.
I met him the first year he was here and
it was love at first sight. I watched him work
tirelessly in pursuit of that dream. I saw tears
stream down his face when he became an
American citizen. We were blessed with four
2
beautiful children and eleven incredible grandchildren. We taught them to work together in
pursuit of our dream for our family company.
I was inspired by the stories I read that night.
My son asked me what I was reading. I looked up
and said, “I’m reading about everyday people being able to create something amazing by sharing
something they believe in with others.” And then,
out of the blue, I added, “Someday we will be top
income earners in a network marketing company
and we will share the same dream!”
My son smiled and said, “You know what,
Mom? I believe you.”
In the days that followed, I just couldn’t get
those stories out of my mind. That magazine had
a huge impact on my life. I read it over and over
again. In fact, I still have it.
Years later, Tony and I attended our first
network marketing convention and received an
award that had our names engraved on it. It
said, “Randi and Tony Escobar — Number One
Income Earners.”
We arrived home from the event and were
unpacking when our son saw the award and said,
“Do you remember when we worked really late
one night and you found that magazine?”
I looked at him and said, “Oh yes, I remember
reading those stories that night. I can never forget how they made me feel.”
I have had the privilege to work beside many
inspired women. I am always humbled by their
desire to create and leave behind a legacy for
others to enjoy. No matter what their circumstances or challenge, they always are there to
share and encourage. Women have a trans-generational perspective: they honor the past and
their heritage, sustain the present with earnest
labor, and envision and prepare for the future

Everything can be accomplished in total abundance

utilized for good.
with a great sense of hope.
Women live their lives inspired by purpose.
Their ability to create is limitless. They can take
the most meager of circumstances and turn them
into a life-changing experience.
A wealth of knowledge can be gleaned from
a barren field of despair, when seen through the
eyes of a woman with true vision.
These are women who realize that everything
can be accomplished in total abundance when
everyone’s talents are utilized for good.
I remember as a child thinking that there
wasn’t anything exciting in our cupboard. I
would look inside and just see the basics. My remarkable mother taught me to look in the same
cupboard and see endless possibilities. She could
create a banquet fit for a king from those basics
I saw. It seemed to me she could effortlessly feed
our entire neighborhood. She taught me to be
resourceful, creative, and generous.
Throughout the ages, women have been masters at creating culture and community. In the
network marketing profession, women make
an immense contribution to our growth and
stability. They use their innate feminine traits
to create, collaborate, educate, delegate, inspire,
encourage, and perpetuate our commitment to
the pursuit of excellence.
The women pioneers in network marketing have been deeply committed to creating a

culture where everyone has the opportunity to
grow. They prepare the ground, plant seeds, and
nurture the crops. The end result is an abundant
harvest. Through their faith, their expectations
come to fruition.
In my own experience, it was the examples
of many dedicated women over the years that
gave life to my dream of financial security. These
women watered the seed that was planted in my
heart the night I first read that magazine.
In a time when our nation’s fiscal cupboard
may seem bare, I know that our business creates abundance. We have the ability to help our
economy recover and thrive. We can offer hope
in a time of discouragement. We can help create
financial security in a time of uncertainty. We
can honor our heritage as we continue to share it
forward. Together, with dedication and passion,
we can help others face the future with hope. ■
