Send us a text There’s lots of talk in our space around setting boundaries. Usually it’s in regards to keeping specific people out of your life. But I say having TRUE BOUNDARIES goes beyond looking at how other people are behaving. Setting true and healthy boundaries has more to do with our inner world than our outer one. It has more to do with the stories and judgements we have of other people than their actual behaviors. I worry that the current conversations around boundaries will make you ad...

Send us a text Boldness gets talked about a lot in our space. “In order to succeed in business you have to stand out. You have to be BOLD!” But what does that actually mean? Many experts have weighed in on this topic but I think there’s a deeper conversation that I haven’t heard. To be BOLD is to step beyond your self-imposed limitations, to push past your own limiting beliefs and to do a thing you’re afraid of instead of talking yourself out of it. =============== Jenna Kutcher’s Goal Digger Po...

Send us a text It’s natural to think that the goal for content creation is virality and getting as many views and likes and followers as possible. As an extension, we then create content targeting as large an audience as possible. This doesn’t work. Creating content with the intention of mass appeal actual has the opposite effect — it ends up appealing to no one. If you niche down, moreover if you focus on speaking your authentic truth and sharing your unique journey and message, you’ll attract ...

Send us a text I’ve already spoken on how the market has shifted in ways that have made us Network Marketers less and less relevant. Well, I think it’s actually much more dire than I originally projected. If businesses are going more to a direct to consumer model, and relying on social media and the internet to reach those consumers, then there really is less and less need for us. Moreover, if goods and services can be marketed directly to consumers via the internet, then the only unique offer w...

When strategizing and working to maximize our prospecting and marketing efforts, we rely of categorizations — labels with which we can organize groups of people. It’s a natural way of operating.

However, if we think of people in the context of what categories they fit into, we unknowingly limit our pool of prospects to the specific categories we’re targ...

Feelings of inadequacy and unworthiness can come from looking at the lives we THINK others are living compared to our own. Much less obvious is comparing others to ourselves — in other words, JUDGEMENT. When we compare others to ourselves, we see not their true self but rather our judgements of them...
