Pam is SO excited to introduce you to today’s amazing couple: Eli and Trista Marshall! They are top money earners with It Works! Global and are both Ambassador Diamonds. They started their journey 4 years ago. Trista was a Pediatric Registered Nurse and Eli was a firefighter. They have two beautiful, amazing kids, ages 8 and 5!

Recently, Pam had an amazing experience that she wants to share with you all! A friend shared with her this concept called “picking your hard.” Having lost over 80 lbs., she confessed to Pam it was always hard being overweight — not being able to do the activities she wanted to do or fit the clothes she wanted to wear. So, in order to lose this weight, she had to “pick her hard.” She had to decide: is it harder to keep the weight on, or is it harder to take it off?
In this episode, Pam explores this concept of “picking your hard” and how it relates to MLM and network marketing. Pam picked her hard nearly two decades ago when she decided whether or not to go back to work and leave her family everyday or hustle hard and dive head-first into this new venture of network marketing. Now, she’s going to help you pick your hards as well! She talks about picking up the phone and making calls for the first time, her early self-limiting beliefs and how she overcame them, how she continues to pick her hards everyday, and how you can too!

Today’s episode is an exciting one! With Pam today, is a team that is absolutely rocking it in direct sales. They’re a group of beautiful women with It Works from all over the U.S. that are a fantastic example of showing how to take your business to the next level! One of Pam’s guests today is Cassie Westlund. She’s 24 years old and joined when she was 20. She’s went from broke college student, working multiple jobs, living paycheck-to-paycheck to living extremely well-off and leading a successful team at It Works.
In this week’s episode, four amazing women from Cassie’s team join her to talk about their own backgrounds with It Works, how they’ve gotten successful through the business, and how they’ve overcome daily challenges and have stay inspired.
Nicole Hassinger is a Presidential Diamond and has been in the business for a little over three years. She joined with the goal of making a couple extra hundred dollars a month but then she caught the vision and it turned into so much more. Emily Wirsing is 24 and has been in the business for a little over three years and is also a Presidential Diamond. As a student, she was lost — but now, with It Works, she’s excited and has a plan. Lindsay, 24 as well, joined It Works in 2015. Before this business, she says she was the typical broke college student working four jobs — and now, she’s a Triple Diamond and cannot wait for what’s to come. And lastly (but certainly not least), Nayara Ribeiro also joins the conversation. Nayara has been with the business for four years but feels like she just joined yesterday with how excited she still is! Originally a broke college student, she quickly saw the potential in the business and so she jumped right in and ran with it.

This is episode 30 of the Pam Sowder Podcast, with your host, Pam Sowder! Pam has over 2 decades of field and corporate experience and was voted one of the most influential women in direct selling. She helps match the daily needs of distributors to everyday life challenges.
Pam’s excited to bring you another special #AskPam episode! Today, she’s bringing on another host to ask her some business-related questions — Claire Flores! Claire is a Triple Diamond VIP at It Works Global and has been in the direct sales industry for three and a half years (all at It Works!). She got started because of her four young kids and her husband’s long working hours, to alleviate his workload and bring in some extra income. Once she discovered It Works through a friend on Instagram, her vision quickly grew and she was able to retire her husband within four months of joining!
Claire’s team joins her today, bringing along a list of questions for Pam. Claire’s team reached Ambassador Diamond together and are hungry to learn as much they can this episode! So tune in to hear Pam’s advice on how they can continue their success and reach beyond the goals they have set for themselves.

[15:18] Another team member asks: “Pam, how do I find the balance of being both a stay-at-home mom and a business owner?”
[24:55] Mindset is everything, so Claire asks — on behalf of her team — how it is possible to raise their belief level so that they can remove their self-limiting beliefs around money.
