When we look at the journey in our business, a lot of times we look at the things that we want to do. But we often overlook the individual steps we need to take to reach our goals whatever they may be. Meanwhile, we tend to look at what other people are doing in their journey, This often leads to unhealthy comparisons because you would only be seeing their successes, and not the work other people have been doing. Be aware that’s there’s a lot going on in the back end of someone’s achievements th...

In network marketing, our business is based on building relationships with people. So initiating and maintaining conversations are part of our routines. And one of the challenges that we face as direct sellers is explaining what we do in a small interaction. We have a different business model so it can be challenging to convey why we do what we do. The concept that we sell other people’s products while still owning our business and building our brand can be difficult to understand for others. Th...

As you grow and develop who you are, your passions and interest will change too. Thus your brand will change too. And that’s okay. You can make adjustments in your business as long as these changes are serving you and are true to you. You are the business owner so you are the one in control of your business . So if something doesn’t bring you joy or isn’t serving your end goal anymore, you can close that chapter. The same thing happens with team growth. What we can control Like what we’ve discus...

Busy looks different for all of us. I personally am busy as I’m handling work, mom life, business, social life, etc. And if you’re like me, you might be wondering, how do we stay on top of things? How do we keep things under ‘control’ when things go crazy? How do we stay on schedule when there’s always ‘something’ that comes up? “Stop. Take a breath. What’s next.” “Give yourself grace but don’t make excuses.” Join the DBSB Community for more tips and support from fellow network marketers! Want t...

Going forward Welcome back to Direct Sales Done Better! Have you rested well? :) In May, we focused on rest . And the whole point of that 'restore' portion is to get back to why we started and then find out, what do we need to add in or visit? Because in business, we can’t be running all the time. So in restoration, we ask ourselves, What do I need right now? And the beauty of network marketing is you get to decide what works for you or how you run your business. So part of moving forward in bus...

If we’re not careful, it’s easy to get caught up to the hustle and bustle of everything that we “have” to do. Especially when you are a network marketer, you are always running and chasing goals! And if you’ve been following me, you would know that I hate the hustle culture . Marathon athletes don’t run everyday— they also take days for rest, yoga, and other stuff. Yet they’re still good at what they do. And we need to treat our businesses the same way. I want us to look back into our lives and ...

I came up with this method about a year and a half ago. And I realized it works best for those who are very visual: those who likes outlines, pretty pictures, creative endeavors, etc. So if you are that person, you are going to love this method.

It could be increase in sales , new members, developing habits, managing fin...

When you and a lot of other people are selling the same product, you have to stand out. That’s why it’s important to have a personal brand. So you’re not just elevating the company, but you’re also elevating yourself!

December is a great month to plan ahead. So look ahead on what’s coming . Where do you want your business to be 6 months from now? And what do you need to do now, to get in that position? There’s a lot of ways to grow whether it is paid or not. Though to be honest, paid trainings and programs have some leverage not just because of the focused training, but also because we show up differently when we know we are paying for something. As you sit down and write your plans , I want you to think of w...

Take a step back and assess your situation right now. Have you been doing everything you can (like earning from a corporate job, managing a business, having savings, etc) and realize you haven’t paid yourself? That you still have debts? Because if you do, then it’s time to repurpose your finances. Your business is more than just an accolade and how much you have sold. There’s a lot of management going on behind it : money, team, personal life, and more. And if you are stepping into your business...

Intentionality and Overwhelm: how are they related? It’s been a busy season so today we will talk about the connection between intentionality and overwhelm. Because overwhelm is the opposite of intentionality . Anytime we feel overwhelmed, it usually means that we are not aligned with ourselves . That we are trying to meet expectations that other people had set for us. And if we are not showing up with a plan and a purpose of our own, nor showing up every day as business owners , then we are not...

Yes, we are all looking forward to the sales, promotions, deals, etc. right now. (See how you can be intentional in promotions and sales .) But I also want to remind you to take time to unplug, no matter what this holiday looks like for you. Make sure to take some time to be intentionally present with your family! Because our businesses are pieces of what we do, but they are not every bit of what we do . And you might be in that “one more message” or “I’m close to the next goal” stage right now....

We stand out when our ways of direct selling is fully intentional . So I have four bullet points for you to remember: 1. It’s more than just numbers. It’s more than just the number of sales, number of customers, numbers of followers, etc. Numbers are just a piece of what we do. So instead of thinking, “I missed the goal of 15.” Tell yourself, “hey I sold 5. And found people that are the best fit for the product.” Helping customers find meaningful purchase is beneficial in the long term! 2. Relat...

And when you set intentions based on what’s important and authentic to you, you, your business, and everything else thrive! “The best thing with intentionality is you get to decide. You get to decide what your intention is.” What does setting intention looks like? It’s not just getting the task done. It’s making sure that thos...

As a network marketer, I am connected with a lot of fellow moms with young kids. So I understand very well that there’s no time to waste! So intentionality is important because it makes you aware of what you do with your time. In business, talking about intentionality is not just about planning what’s on your day to day. It also debunks the negative myth of entrepreneurship (especially in startups) that is hustle and grind . Because as human beings, that’s impossible. We can’t be hustling all da...
