Art Burleigh is Double Diamond Executive distributor and also the Chairman of the Executive Advisory Council for Essentially Yours Industries ("EYI"). His team of over 150,000 distributors now spans the North American continent and has also grown throughout Asia.

After 9 years of Network Marketing "educational experiences," Art was exposed to EYI. After ignoring it for 2 months, he came on board, bought 5 bottles of product, and sponsored 12 people right away. Eight of them went to sleep, 4 went to work, and from that small group has grown an organization that has moved over $92 million in volume and taken home over $54 million in team commissions. The Burleighs' business has enabled them to buy their new home, get out of debt, and travel the world - including a luxury safari to Kenya in East Africa this past summer for the whole family. Their business also allows Art to be able to take their teen-aged son to and from school each day and work out with him at the gym at a time when it's not crowded. How many dads can do that?

After graduating from the University of Michigan, where Art grew up, he began working in the mail room at Universal Studios in Hollywood. He attended law school at night and worked his way into Universal's Law Department. After graduating from law school, Art moved over to United Artists to work as a Business Affairs Executive until the movie "Heaven's Gate" rolled though. It was $25 million over budget and a bomb at the box office, so it blew the small studio apart, and Art lost his job along with his boss and many others.

Deciding to stay out of corporate law, Art then moved into Marketing, but he was always on the lookout for something better - that could generate residual income and growing prosperity! One night, he got invited to a neighbor's party where he learned about Network Marketing for the first time. After many attempts at making this business "work," with several different companies, Art finally learned the really important elements to look for and the necessary skills to apply. That has lead to great success with his current company, Essentially Yours.
