Brenda and Larry Carlton were working toward retirement when they became AdvoCare Distributors. "We were attracted to the products," Brenda said. "After we began using them, we had great energy to keep up with our busy schedules."

Larry worked as a school teacher and Brenda managed a local telephone office. While they enjoyed the product results, they had not given the business opportunity much thought. "We already had a plan in place for retirement," Larry said, "We saw AdvoCare as a way for Brenda to earn some extra money, but really never considered it as an alternative."

"I believed in the opportunity," Brenda said, "I just didn’t believe I could do it."

"After going to Success School, a lot of that changed, quickly," Larry said. "It’s an environment in which people just want to help you be your best. You can pour yourself into personal development."

Today, the Carltons live on an 18-acre estate in the scenic Texas Hill Country. With career earnings of more than $109,612* and $160,000 in debt paid off with the DebtBuster® System, they say they are excited by the opportunities that their business will allow for their children and grandchildren.

"A big part of my job as a teacher was helping others believe they were more than they thought they were. The thought of giving that up was not easy. This opportunity lets you pour yourself into developing people," Larry said.

"I’m 54, and I don’t know where else I could have grown as much as I have in the past three years," said Brenda, "Where else can you have a social event like a Mixer that helps people change their lives?"

"We can be who we need to be, where we need to be for ourselves and for others, and that’s been huge," Larry said, "And, we’re just getting started!".
