Hey Mama's! Welcome to this week's episode! Let’s talk about SUCCESS!! 

How do you define success in your business? Is it all about the hustle? Is it all about how much you need to do?  Each month when you “hit” the goal or the rank do you breathe for only a small minute then start all over??

What if you looked at success based on action versus results?

Here are some of the things to consider I share in this episode:

  • When is hitting the “rank” or “goal” enough?
  • Measuring success on external factors
  • Look for success in the little things based on action
  • Look for the impact in your actions
  • Associate success with a feeling

I know you will be blessed by this episode!

Hey Mama's! Welcome to this week's episode! We are closing out our Leadership Series with COACHING!!

How many times have you had a team member come to you needing help and you tell them what to do? Do you find yourself telling your team the same things over and over and you are not quiet sure why they aren’t “getting it?”

Today I am giving you a crash course in coaching! As an professional educational coach and trainer in my full time day job I have spent the last 10 years honing my coaching skill set and I have transferred that skill set to my business.

Coaching is just a cycle- observe, gather data, reflect with your team, give feedback- repeat. I believe coaching is the most important skill a leader can learn. It builds self-efficacy and independence in the person you are working with.

Here are some things to consider I talk about in this episode:

  • What coaching is and is not
  • The difference between directive and reflective coaching
  • What types of questions to ask and when
  • How to not move into “giving advice”
  • How to work through the whole coaching process with a team member
  • How to build accountability along the way

I know you will be blessed by this episode!

Hey Mama's! Welcome to this week's episode! I hope you liked Part 1 of our Leadership Series, this is part 2- How to onboard your new team.

I am sure many of you have experienced new team member join, so excited to get going and start their business, but you have no idea how to help them. Or maybe you do have an onboarding system but it isn’t very successful. Or maybe you are an accidental leader or a new leader and you don’t feel equipped yourself yet to help others get going. Then I am glad you are here!!

I want you to think back to when you joined your current company, how were you set up to get going? What types of steps did you take to get your business launched?

Here are some things to consider I talk about in this episode:

  • What to do in the first 24 hours of a team member starting
  • Identifying most important tasks new members need to do when they start
  • Keeping your onboarding simple so you don’t overwhelm them
  • How to determine onboarding steps based on why people join your business
  • How to decide what platform to use for onboarding

I know you will be blessed by this episode!

Oh yes, and failing along the way is ok, did you hear that? Yes it's OK!! 

The 4 things I want to share with you today are: 

-Give yourself some grace

-Leverage your upline

-A plan

-Do what feels good

  • Work in small chunks of action

-Try out new things

Hey Mama's! Welcome to this week's episode! There are three reasons why people join multi-level marketing companies; money (compensation plan), community (connect with people), and the product. For many of us, myself included, I have joined my past companies for one of these three reasons. 

But what if we joined a network marketing company with a heart for Jesus? What if we centered all that we did in our business from a space of love and grace? What if you could release all the pressure you feel in your business because you are serving in your business to show the love of Jesus? Well after so many years hustling and pushing, this came to me last year when I did some internal work and really surrendered it all to the Lord. 

Let’s explore how you:

  • Show up as a leader in love and grace
  • Use prayer as a base for all you do
  • Surrender daily to the Lord, remember this is HIS business

I hope you are blessed by this episode!

Hey Mama's! Welcome to this week's episode! It’s the end of the year, which usually means that you are setting goals. I LOVE goal setting, it is one of my favorite things to do. I totally geek out to make a goal, set a plan, and then track the progress. However, did you know that 20% of the population sets goals? And out of that only one-third achieve them! Why do you think that is?

Today I am going to challenge you to forget about the goal and start to plan for action. I will share four tips on how to STOP focusing on the end result and START focusing on the “action.” 

I hope you are blessed by this episode!

Hey Mama's! Welcome to this week's episode! How many of you have heard your upline tell you to figure out your WHY?  When we focus on why we joined a company we are focusing on us, what is in it for me, and missing how our business can IMPACT others. 

Today I am going to challenge you to think about your IMPACT. We will dive into the questions you should be answering and asking your team so you can be clear on the IMPACT your business has on others.

Hey Mama's! Welcome to the episode. Today we are talking about generosity. While I was preparing for episode 13 (Family Values) I came across a study that showed  80% of youth think their parents value achievement over generosity. I wanted to dig a little deeper into this so I decided why not do an episode. Plus I wanted to look at how generational theory plays into the mindset of generosity.

Have you ever felt like your mind is being held captive? Have you ever wondered why you get anxious when you know there is no reason? Do you ever feel so anxious that you can't complete normal daily tasks?

If so then this episode is for you. Today I am getting real, raw, and unfiltered as I share my past and oh so recent experience with anxiety. My story is one I think is not shared enough, no one wants to be seen as weak, incapable, or unfit, but sometimes we just need to listen to our bodies. I hope my story will help you or someone you know break free of anxiety and move to rely on God, family/friends, and good old breathing techniques. 

If you or someone you know is struggling with anxiety or depression, please make sure they get professional help. 1-800-273-8255

Have you ever experienced an escape room? Escape rooms are one of my favorite things to do with my family. Recently I started to think about how our faith journey is the same as the components of an escape room.

The ultimate goal is to work with others to solve the puzzles and reach the end "escape." There are many components to an escape room from the puzzles and clues to the Game Master who oversees everything. 

Join me as I share my own personal correlation to escape rooms and our personal faith journey. God is our ultimate Game Master and he has promised us a life filled with a purpose and a plan, if we will just lean into what he has for us.

Hey Mama's!!! Today we are talking PURSES!! Not just any purse, but the one we carry around that reflects our relationship with Jesus. In this episode I am getting real with how we all have stuff in our purse and how we fall into societal beliefs, which fills our purse with lies and self-doubt. I break down how we can empty that purse and get back to having Jesus in our back pocket and live daily in the promise he has given us.
