🌞💚🌿Sometimes life is hard......to be in a direct sales business is SIMPLE in some ways but also COMPLICATED WHEN THINGS CHANGE. IN AN INSTANT. I know. I have already experienced this in the past six months with a company that I loved and thought would serve me through my retirement. It was gutwrenching .......but......
God knew it was my stepping stone.
💚I have found another home, and to read the words of our founder & CEO Nancy Bogart is to be CERTAIN that I chose correctly. I am sharing her post on our business page here on my business page because MANY OF YOU HAVE NO IDEA that Thirty-One Gifts closed their doors. (I talked with someone in the past few days who knew nothing. ) ⁉️
Please take a moment and read through Nancy's post, & I think you may get an inkling of her heart and commitment. She is remarkable. I am so thankful for the opportunity to share these products & be a part of something so big and exciting.
💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚🌿💚
I shared this on the JE biz page and wanted to share it with you as so many people are searching for a new home and we have a wonderful home here at JE>

I’ve written this type of post many times in 25 years… and it still hurts.
When a direct sales company closes its doors, it hurts so many people.
The distributors.
The staff.
The employees who made the magic happen.
The original dreamers who sparked the vision.
And the consultants who said “yes” on the day they enrolled.
Our industry is built differently.
There’s no big yellow “Going Out of Business” sign. No pink slips.
Just hundreds—sometimes thousands—of micro-enterprises and meaningful relationships torn apart in a single email or announcement.
No one starts a business thinking they’ll close it one day. I know it can’t be an easy decision.
I remember my moment in 2008/09 when I thought we might not make it.
We had just changed our name, and the economy was crashing.
We made hard decisions. Ron got a job. We closed down our second building. We buckled down, doubled down, and climbed out.
We came out wiser, more committed, and determined to run a debt-free, safe business with longevity.
Ron told me, “God has called you to this, Nanc—and He called me to feed the family while you work on the dream that is Jordan Essentials.”
And that’s what we’ve done every day since.
I thought of the widow whose house payment was made.
The single mom who made friends and shared life-changing products.
The working couple who finally afforded a vacation.
The moms like me who needed friendship and income—but weren’t willing to do it like everyone else.
That’s my why. That’s my fuel.
The world is changing. And over 25 years, I’ve seen a lot of change.
I will never judge how hard it must be to close a company.
But I will say this:
I am here. We are here—for you.
If you’re looking for a new direct sales company to partner with, we welcome you with open arms.
We offer half-price kit codes when your company makes its announcement, and we’re available for one-on-one calls to help you decide if Jordan Essentials is your next home.
We have heart. We have longevity. We have clean, USA-made products—and a compensation plan I’m proud of.
Let us know how we can support you.
I’m praying for our industry and our world today—and I’m staying optimistic as Jordan Essentials celebrates 6 years of growth and 25 years of impact.
