229: The Biggest Lie We're Told in Network Marketing

227: How She Did It: Built a Million Dollar Business Shifting from Sales to Service

One of the biggest mistakes that keeps network marketers from growing their business is this → They’re totally focused on sales . Because for them, success is simply about making money. And while there is nothing wrong with making money, I want you to realize that the money you make is simply a byproduct of the impact you’re making in the world. That’s exactly what Heather Burge did when she joined our Legacy Leadership Academy . Heather joined LLA last August 2018. At the time, she already had ...

226: {Biz Tip Friday} Watch Out for The Expert Trap

Are you making yourself ‘the expert’ in the eyes of your prospects? This is one of the reasons why many network marketers struggle in recruiting and building a team. If you are do the majority of explaining and answering questions to team members and prospects, then have fallen into what I call the Expert Trap . Being the expert comes from having a sales mindset. It’s a sales technique . You're spending an hour training your team and relying on them to go out with the same level of confidence as...

Do you know what the BEST thing you can do to develop new strong, leaders on your team? On today’s podcast, I chat with Jen Goodall, one of the star members of my Next Level Leadership program. Jenn has been with her direct sales company for 4 years. She had created a great team and experienced personal success. Everybody was doing well….and then her team became stagnant. In other words, there was no DUPLICATION happening. She felt stuck, and there was literally no growth in her team. Jen tried ...

224: {Biz Tip Friday} Are Your Systems Focusing on Service or Sales?

Do your systems create a sales mindset? Or a service mindset? I ask this question because I see a lot of leaders creating their systems almost entirely based on a SALES mindset. And here’s the issue with that --- the moment somebody joins, they immediately go through all the steps that they have to do in order to start taking action to create results. You keep ramming sales terms, sales strategies, compensation plan, bonuses, cars, etc., and your new team member immediately begins to build an in...

Watch my Core Story Free Training Here! – www.yourvirtualupline.com/belief One of the biggest LIES I see so many network marketers buy into is this → That it’s ACTIONS that create success. So they hustle harder, do more, pull longer hours – and basically sacrifice their life to reach their goals … But still never get the results they want.

Has this ever happened to you? You have a great idea for a social media post, you get everything ready to go, ready to hit send, and a sneaking fear creeps in…. “Is this too salesy??” Somehow through attraction and curiosity marketing, we’ve gotten to the point of actually being AFRAID to post about our products. For years we’ve been petrified of coming across as an infomercial or a ‘Spamela Pamela’ so we stop posting about our products and business all together. But here’s the thing: if you’re ...

221: Did Your Parents Help Create Your Limiting Beliefs?

What do you do when you know you have a limiting belief that’s holding you back – maybe around feeling unworthy, or having to work like crazy to feel good about yourself …but you just can’t pinpoint why exactly you believe that? We tend to believe that red light stories are created by some traumatic or intense event in our past. However, I’m here to tell you, our limiting beliefs can also be created in totally nontraumatic, everyday circumstances (which is why our loving parents help to create s...

220: {Biz Tip Friday} How to Share Your Story When You Don't Have Results

Here’s the #1 reason why people struggle in recruiting or building a team -- They lack belief in themselves. Our default belief setting is that people will only join our team if we have proven personal results already…aka we have a huge, successful team already in place for them to join. So, when we don’t have a team of 100, 1000, or 10,000 in place already, we think that no one would be interested in becoming a team member. We have this red-light story about our self-worth because of our lack o...

219: LIVE COACHING: How to Heal from Past Trauma

When we experience a significant trauma in our lives, it can sometimes have a devastating effect on our lives – even decades later. Even when the event itself is long past and can no longer hurt us directly – it can still hold us in its grip. Because we’ve made it mean something about US. Even though it could never be your fault, if you’re anything like most people, you still feel somehow like it must have happened because there’s something “wrong” with you. You create a story about yourself, ba...

218: {Biz Tip Friday} Are You An Accidental Leader?

If you and I met in person, I’d ask you this question…. Are you an accidental leader? An Accidental Leader is when you have created success out of your own sheer effort, and people start buying your products and joining your team. However, you don’t really know how to show them what you did so they can experience those same results. Or you're trying to show them… but it isn't working. In other words, there’s No DUPLICATION on your team. And as a result, you find yourself stuck in your business. ...

One of the most important leadership lessons you need to learn is TIME is your most precious asset . As a leader, it's really important that you invest your time into the right people. Unfortunately, there’s a trap that most leaders fall into --- --- We spend tons of time motivating the unmotivated and getting the uncommitted to commit, thinking that is our job as a leader.

I’ve been getting one question a LOT lately…. When do you know it's the right time to change companies? I know this can be a very difficult and often delicate topic. So much of the time, when we're leaving companies, it becomes a very personal thing, and we discover people want to attack us. First of all, please know that it is OK if you want to work with a different company, especially when you decide there’s a product or business model more aligned with your passion or mission.

213: What's Your Definition of Success?

If you’re still struggling to see the results you want in your business … …there’s a good chance it’s how you think about success that’s holding you back. You see, most people see “success” as an outcome, an achievement, or a result. So if they hit a big goal, or reach some arbitrary metric in their business, they think that’s success – and they feel validated and worthy when they achieve it. But here’s what I want you to realize. Any definition of success that’s so narrow it’s tied to a specifi...

This listener was doing ‘all the things’…including intentionally working on his mindset. But, red light stories keep popping into his thoughts. My answer: Red light stories NEVER stop. They will always be there waiting for you. But, the real problem is when we accept them as true. When we don’t challenge them at all. It’s when ...

210: Are You a Leader, or Just a Friend to Your Team?

Take a moment and ask yourself… Are you showing up as a leader for your team members? Or as a friend? Many of us, out of FEAR, do not confront team members because we want to protect our friendships, and we crave to be accepted by people. However, valuing FRIENDSHIP over LEADERSHIP is one of the greatest challenges that’s keeping you stuck in your business. Don’t get me wrong, relationships are the foundation for leadership – they are important. But you can’t allow them to get in the way of you ...

Are you getting the results you want in your business right now? Because if you’re not, I can almost guarantee you it’s for one reason only. You’re operating from a Red Light “Core Story.” Your Core Story is the story you tell yourself, about YOURSELF. And it’s one of THE MOST IMPORTANT concepts we teach people under the new Legacy Leadership Academy program. A ‘Red Light’ Core Story is one that is based in FEAR and scarcity. One where you feel like you’re “not enough.” You’re comparing yourself...

Do you need to shift your personal perspective? So that you are FREE to build your business in love and abundance?

So if a team member doesn’t reach their goals, or loses rank and falls behind, they BLAME themselves.
