SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 13, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Running a
successful business is all about perseverance. It takes drive,
passion, and creativity—and for thousands of women across the
globe, it represents their ability to overcome tremendous
adversity. That's why one company is turning heads with an event
dedicated solely to helping women succeed in business. Recently
USANA, a global health company, celebrated its sixth annual
Successful Women Encouraging Entrepreneurs Together (SWEET) Retreat
in Phoenix, AZ.
"The women on stage at this event built successful USANA
businesses their own way, and it's incredible to see how they have
changed their lives and the lives of so many others," said
Lori Truman, vice president of US
field development.
While the event was filled with ambitious and successful women
sharing their stories and advice, USANA took things one step
further and worked to make a difference beyond the event itself.
The company teamed up with the Phoenix Rescue Mission Changing
Lives Center, a women's shelter dedicated to helping women get back
on their feet and providing them with the tools necessary to do so.
USANA asked SWEET Retreat attendees to donate professional
clothing, purses and shoes to the cause, and this group of
entrepreneurs really stepped up to the plate with hundreds of
donations.
"I've been attending this retreat every year since it began and
I absolutely love learning from USANA's women leaders," said Viola
Creb, a USANA Executive Gold Director. "Women have unique gifts and
talents and USANA's SWEET Retreat gives us the added bonus of
helping us explore our powerful female forces."
According to the Direct Selling Association, more than 77
percent of participants in the direct selling industry are
women.
