I truly believe that there is a fundamental shift happening inside the network marketing industry. Just a few weeks ago, I hosted some of the best and brightest in network marketing for three days at my live event, the Impact + Growth Summit, and during my keynote, I spoke in depth about how network marketing, as the world has come to know it, is coming to an end. The people that were sitting in front of me in the audience represented a new generation of network marketers who are doing things di...

Let’s take a moment and talk about the idea of inconsistency and why so many network marketers struggle with consistency in their business. The struggle in taking consistent action is coming from a place of unworthiness I personally believe that if you struggle with consistency in your business it is actually because you have limiting beliefs about yourself. Your problem is NOT lack of time, or your spouse isn’t supportive, or the kids won’t give you 5 minutes to get your daily work done, or eve...

The most radical thing is walking on your own unique path - “Choose purpose over perfect” In this episode, Lara shares that her personal faith in God grew while starting a garden and building her business, “Southern Weddings.” Her personal passion for growing things – both plants and a business – taught her to exchange her fears for faith.

I have a Public Service Announcement for the entire network marketing industry: STOP the copy and paste prospecting method! It is KILLING our industry! Spamming prospects with copy/paste, yucky language is not only killing our industry, it is also killing your own teambuilding results as well! It is essential that each of us knows the correct way to message our prospects. Unfortunately, most network marketers, because of using the spammy and unwelcome copy/paste method of reaching out to people,...

Today I have a very special episode for you! Preston Prugmire, a life coach and host of the “Next Level Life” podcast, joins me to talk about the deep inner work of mindset transformation and moving away from a victim mentality in our life and business. Mindset is more important than strategy when it comes to success as an entrepreneur Most network marketers have the issue we call “victim mentality.” But what happens when we look at every single aspect of our life and say, “I’m no longer going t...

Do either of these situations sound familiar? You can get customers easily, but you just can’t seem to sign any business partners and actually build a team.

This may very well be the most important episode I will ever record on this podcast. What I am going to share with you today has been something that I’ve believed to be true for some time now with all my heart and soul. You’ve heard me saying about the concept of legacy leadership and how it is an assignment, a calling, a vehicle to help you carry out your purpose in life. But, today I’m going to state in a much different way. My friend, I want to let you know that there is a much bigger reason ...

Why should you focus on building a team? It’s pretty simple. Building an organization is the ONLY way that you will ever achieve TRUE freedom in your network marketing business. Yes, you can sell products and still earn additional income to assist your family. However, true financial and time freedom is only accomplished with a team. Having a team allows you to increase and scale the impact that you can make in the world exponentially. The bigger the team you have, the bigger the impact that you...

If you truly want to reach your full potential, start failing FASTER and MORE OFTEN I’ve spoken before about something called the ‘Speed of Implementation.’ This simply means that the faster you take action in business or in life, the more you increase your chances of success. It’s pretty common for each of us to make up excuses or make up stories as to why we’re not ready yet, like, “I’m not good enough,’….or “It needs to be perfect”. All of these are really just lies that we tell ourselves to ...

Team Momentum is the Key to Long-Term Success Have you ever experienced Momentum in your life? That state of energy, excitement, and action? In network marketing, we hear a lot about creating momentum. And I’m often asked if momentum is actually achievable? Or is it a myth that we chase? The truth is momentum DOES exist. And, it can be created by you! There are three types of momentum: personal momentum, company momentum, and team momentum. Personal momentum is when you are personally seeing res...

Attraction Marketing Might be Hurting Your Business There’s a theme that I’ve been noticing a lot lately inside the network marketing industry. A lot of network marketers do not understand the correct role of attraction marketing within their businesses. So many people make the mistake of thinking that attraction marketing is actually working their business, when in fact, they’re not! Attraction marketing is a ‘marketing activity’ – hence it’s name, and marketing does not qualify as actually wor...

Everyone has Limiting Beliefs about Money In all honesty, every single one of us has some type of limiting belief about money. And most of them were formed during our childhood – before the age of 8 to be exact! Ever heard your parents or other people say these phrases: “Money is the root of all evil.” “Money does not by happiness.” “The more money you have, the more problems you have.” If your childhood was anything like mine, you heard these ‘limiting belief statements’ as well. And once these...

The Reason Why You Are Stuck in Your Business Over and over again, I see a consistent theme as to why some leaders get stuck in their business. Maybe the story sounds familiar to you – you’re taking daily action, you’re reading the personal development books, and no one can keep up with you! You are ON FIRE! But…unfortunately, it’s just you. None of your teammates are doing the same. They just don’t seem to have the same ‘spark’ that you do. Here’s the thing - at some point you MUST learn to mak...

The Success Equation Maybe you’ve seen one of these people in your own company… They come out of the gate fast and furious. And in a short period of time, they make rank after rank, building a large team with fast momentum along the way. They’re getting all of the accolades, awards, and attention that you so desperately crave for yourself. And you think, “What’s their secret?!! What do they have that I don’t?!! What are they doing that I’m not?!!” The truth of the matter is that there absolutely...

Fear Disappears When You Focus on Serving Others Do you have what I like to call “success mindset?” “Success mindset” is when all you can think about is what YOU can get from the business. Oftentimes leaders have this “success mindset.” And unfortunately, ‘success mindset’ doesn’t just build ego…it also builds fear. Leaders with this mindset don’t try new things because they are afraid of failure. But this is exactly how you should NOT operate! If you want to defeat fear, focus on serving others...

It’s called “Beware of the ‘Good Enough’ Plateau.” Here is the thing - some of us, especially when we’ve already experienced a bit of success in our business, tend to stay in the same ol’ place.

Comparing yourself with others kills your authenticity Have you ever found yourself comparing what you’re doing in your business to the people around you, and falling into the negative space of ‘comparitis’? I know that I’ve been guilty of that in my own business. What I’ve noticed is that the more I look at what other people are doing, it starts to create negative thoughts and energy in my own mind. I always look at what others are doing, and wonder if what I’m doing is good enough. What I’ve f...

In this 5-minute Friday episode, I will be sharing about Speed of Implementation. Speed of implementation is basically the willingness to take what you learn and implement it by taking action; and this is one thing I notice successful people doing. On the other hand, this is also the number one reason others are struggling. They are just too slow to implement what they know and learn. Most of us have a false assumption that people are decisive because they have it all figured it out. Well, here’...

In this episode, I talk about the difference between a leader and a top performer. We usually have a notion that these two are synonymous, but the truth is, not all top performers are leaders and you don’t necessarily have to be a top performer to be a leader. Top performers aim for results but leaders aren’t judged by their results. Leaders are judged by looking at their team. So what are the qualities of a leader? 1. They lead by example - What are you doing today to lead your organization? Le...

The reason why most people struggle in network marketing is because they are taught to focus on the wrong things. Network marketers have this “Success Mindset”, wherein they focus more on personal gain and what they can get from their network marketing business. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with having success goals, but if that’s your final destination, then you will see yourself struggling with prospecting people. Somebody asked me, “What would you consider to be an effective Fac...

Welcome to another episode of 5-minute Friday. Today, I will be talking about how to effectively prospect people for your network marketing business. Let me start with this, “People are not looking for opportunities, they are looking for solutions.” The reality is, most of our prospects already have busy lives; they have jobs, they businesses, and they have family obligations. Basically, they don’t need another opportunity that will consume their time. What they need are solutions to the everyda...
