Cora Edling

Senior Executive Director

When I joined Thirty-One, I knew very little about the company or its products. I had stumbled across the website and the opportunity sounded intriguing. I couldn't believe I could get started for just $99. I am so glad I did. That $99 was an investment in my life, and it has paid back a hundred-fold. Before Thirty-One, I was baby-sitting in my home and felt I didn't have any energy left for my family at the end of the day. Now, I've been able to stop baby-sitting and I can focus on my own children while enjoying a few evenings out each month doing Thirty-One parties, too. Hostesses, party guests, other Thirty-One consultants and my director … I have developed genuine relationships with them all! In addition, my former shy self has blossomed and my confidence has soared, thanks to the encouragement I've received every step of the way. That $99 sure did bring me much more than I could ever have imagined. My rationale going in was “What do I have to lose?” But what I learned was that I had so much to gain: financial stability, encouragement, self-confidence, incredible friendships and fun. Thanks, Thirty-One, for offering me the investment of a lifetime. My lifetime.
