Industry Legend Reflects on Legacy, Leadership, and Faith
On June 18th, 2025, Donna Johnson—a trailblazing icon in the network marketing profession—recently celebrated the anniversary of an extraordinary 38-year journey with global wellness and skincare giant Arbonne.
Widely admired as a mentor, author, and faith-driven leader, Johnson’s career continues to inspire countless professionals around the world.

“For Such A Time As This…”
by Team Business For Home HQ • • 0 Comments
OPINION | By Donna Johnson, ANMP Ethics Committee Chair
There are moments in history when silence is no longer an option.
This is one of those moments.
As Al Bala so passionately shared in his recent article, the abrupt closure of Modere, Rodan+Fields, Beachbody and others continues to send shockwaves through our profession. But these events aren’t just about a few companies’ collapse. It’s a seismic alert — exposing deep cracks formed by the intrusion of short-term, profit-driven entities who have no regard for the legacy, values, or people of Network Marketing.
The erosion of our compensation model, the abandonment of mentorship and residual income, and the “shiny object syndrome” that lures companies into transactional affiliate models — all of these are symptoms of a deeper issue: disunity and distraction.
We are circling the wagons and, worse, sometimes shooting inward.
As Chair of the Ethics Committee for the ANMP, and someone who has devoted decades to this profession, I say with urgency and love: We must do better. We must stop operating in silos, protect the sacred trust we’ve built, and unify our voice before it’s fractured beyond recognition.
A Lesson from Outside Our Profession
Last year, I had the opportunity to speak at the ANMP Annual
