The Way Out: Recent Episodes
Andrew Logan
Andrew Logan gives you the step by step system, tools and mindset hacks to build your Network Marketing business - and then turn the extra income stream into financial freedom.
On today's Podcast, I share my GROWTH formula.
A simple acronym that takes you through the 6 key areas to focus on.
And making 2026 your best year yet.
Are you feeling stuck at the moment?
Doesn't seem to matter what you do -
You're just not able to meet new people, grow your engagement or find new customers or distributors?
Unfortunately, it's a very common challenge for people.
And so to help, I want to share with you how I help my 1:1 clients through the same thing.
So far - it's worked 100% of the time.
Hopefully it helps you too.
Black Friday sales are almost here.
For some companies, they've already started.
And - when used correctly - they can be a great boost for your business.
So, on the Podcast today, I want to take you through 5 strategies to help increase interest, boost your sales and grow as a leader too.
November is here!
And whilst some will start coasting to the end of the year.
Others will make changes today that will help them crush 2026.
So I want to share a challenge that I do every November.
To make sure I'm free from negativity.
And hitting the ground running at the start of each year.
Network Marketing allows you to dream.
Dream of a different life - funded by our incredible residual income vehicle.
And especially after events, it's great to set huge goals.
Creating that vision board, writing out your dream life.
But we also know a lot of people struggle to reach their goals.
So, on the Podcast today, I wanted to share the 2 things I do whenever I set a vision.
Making sure I'm setting myself up with the best chance of success.
And avoiding the common trap that causes most people to fail.
Finding leaders - the goal of almost every Network Marketer.
They provide energy, excitement and momentum to your team.
And they help you reach that promised land of 'Residual Income'.
But they also come with their challenges.
And there's one mindset switch we must make.
Otherwise, it's easy to get frustrated and want to quit.
Last week I did a Live training, covering the 4 daily activities that build your business.
The Fortune 4 as I like to call them.
And activity number 1: adding new people - is always the biggest challenge for people.
And training how to do it in Facebook Groups is always the best feedback I hear at the end of trainings.
So I wanted to share the mindset and process in here for you as well.
So you can constantly add new people to your audience.
Without getting kicked out of blocked from groups.
The very best thing we can give someone is hope.
Hope of better health, glowing skin, more holidays, a bigger bank account.
Network Marketing is an industry of hope.
But it's also very easy for hope to turn into hype.
And once we start trying to sell hype - things unravel very quickly.
Which is why we need to remove this one word from our language.
Because it will only fill your team with lazy & entitled people.
And actively turn away the leaders you're chasing.
A question I get asked a lot:
What's the best way to build my business?
Which social media platform is the best?
Should I lead with products or business?
Are you direct with your connections?
Or do you like to get to know people first?
So let's unpack all of that on today's episode.
On the Podcast today I want to talk about money mindsets.
In particular, an old money belief that holds so many people back.
It stops them from growing, and also places a lid on their teams growth.
Because everyone knows that mindset is key to success.
Mindsets of consistency, patience and service are crucial in growing a business.
And when it comes to financial freedom, having a mindset of abundance is essential too.
As Warren Buffet says: If you ever find a million dollars, better become a millionaire fast.
On the Podcast today I want to take you back to before Network Marketing.
And share some of the biggest lessons I learned in life back then.
Lessons that helped us build a 7+ figure business and a handful of years.
I've been posting a lot of content about Mindset recently on my FB & IG.
And a lot of people have been messaging to say that it's really helping.
So I wanted to take the chance on the podcast today to dive deeper into things.
How to shift your mindset to guarantee success.
Rather than doing what most people do - and failing very quickly.
If you like short & sharp - here's my latest IG Reel talking about it too: https://www.instagram.com/p/DNwP-IEZiQx/
And you can switch today's coffee for the complete roadmap to financial freedom here: https://andrewlogan.net/residual
On the last Podcast episode, I shared the 6 key systems you need to build a business - and the 2 you need to build freedom.
On today's Podcast, I share how to do it.
Most importantly, how to ensure that they actually work.
So they're not just a cute PDF on your website.
But something people can come in and follow to success.
Everyone knows you need systems in your business.
'It's not what works, it's what duplicates...'
And whilst most people are setup with the essential money making systems.
Very few are given the freedom creation ones.
On the Podcast today, I share with you the 2 most important systems when it comes to creating freedom.
All the others will help you make money.
But these two will set you free.
On the Podcast today, I share a strategy for dealing with an unsupportive partner.
If you're someone struggling here - this is for you.
If not - I guarantee you'll have people in your team that do.
It's part of building a large team; more people, more challenges can present.
Finding leaders is the goal for almost every Network Marketer.
And it's so much fun doing great things with great people.
Especially when some of them are your very best friends.
But be careful of falling into the trap of trying to bring everyone on the ride.
Because not everyone is built for leadership.
And trying to help everyone will lead to you helping no one.
Everyone knows consistency is key - in everything.
It's not what you do once, it's what you do consistently that matters.
And whilst everyone knows they need to be consistent.
Lots of people still struggle with how to be consistent.
On the Podcast today, I share my consistency mantra to help.
For your business, your health and your happiness.
It's funny how the people who've done the least seem to criticise the most.
But that's the reality with haters and trolls.
They love to come in and give you advice - even though their life is hardly successful.
So on the Podcast today I want to talk about the mindset of dealing with them.
And 3 specific strategies I use when they do show up.
A question I've been asked a lot lately.
So it felt like the perfect topic for today's Podcast!
Freedom is the goal of most Network Marketers.
Which means our end goals is to be making as much money as possible with as little work as possible.
And that all starts with being effective in our sales conversations.
We want to make as many sales as possible from our conversations.
If we're having a lot of conversations for not many sales we may as well have a job.
On the Podcast today I want to help with a mindset shift to get more sales.
So you're working smarter and seeing more results.
It will help with your leadership development too!
Social Media and AI are incredible tools.
And they've helped to revolutionise our industry.
But like any tool - they're only as powerful as the person using them.
One person holding a hammer can build a beautiful home.
Another with the same hammer can tear it apart.
Which is why it's so important that we use these tools correctly.
Otherwise, we're doing more harm than good to our business.
And preventing us from ever finding leaders or growing a team.
Money mindset is key.
So many people fail chasing freedom because their money mindset is off.
Similar to how you can't out exercise a bad diet.
You can't out earn a bad money mindset.
Until it's fixed - nothing else will work.
One of the biggest false beliefs people carry around - the money can't buy happiness.
So let's address that today.
The biggest challenge for most people: time management.
You're busy, stressed and burnt-out in your life - and Network Marketing provides the perfect solution.
But it's also an extra thing added into an already busy life.
On the Podcast today, I take you through a simple system to D.E.A.L with your overwhelm.
Making your more productive in less time.
So you can enjoy more freedom.
On today's Podcast, Andrew shares the two key decisions that lead to success.
The first one is a financial one that everyone makes.
The second is a mindset one that very few make.
But those who do, they're the ones who create freedom.
Today is the second half to last weeks first.
Taking you through Lessons 8-13 in my 13 years of Network Marketing.
Hopefully these lessons help fast-track your own journey.
And you can be writing your own financial freedom story from here.
Next week marks 13 years since I joined this amazing industry.
Our life has certainly changed since then.
And there have been so many lessons along the way.
But it felt like a perfect time to share my Top 13 Lessons on the Podcast with you, with 1-7 today and 8-13 next week.
Objections can be a huge challenge for many people.
And whilst there are plenty of reasons behind them -
Along with scripts that can help.
There's one reason that objections come up that's bigger than any other.
And there's no script to help it.
You have to do something totally different.
Chris Burrows - The Introverted Entrepreneur, and man behind the Attraction Marketing phenom Beach Boss Influencers - joins me on the Podcast today - sharing top strategies for building your Network Marketing business as an introvert.
- Finding your niche.
- Using AI to help create content.
- Handling growth and events.

Struggling to bring new distributors into your team?
It's a common challenge for people.
One that leads to a lot of frustration, and a plateau in your growth.
But the reason they're not joining is quite simple - you haven't answered the two questions in their head.
Fix that - and you'll be back in momentum straight away.
Over the weekend, the Network Marketing world was rocked by the sudden - and heartbreaking - decision made by Modere.
It was a decision that effected so many.
And it sent ripples through our industry.
Now - after the dust has settled a bit - we need to learn from it.
Because no matter where you're at in your build (or company), there's three key lessons we must learn from this event in order to protect ourselves in the future.
Last week, markets around the world felt the impact of Trump's tariffs.
In Australia this morning, the panic had well and truly set in.
After a weekend of hand-wringing and teeth gnashing, the SELL orders were all placed at the opening bell and what followed was the proverbial 'blood in the streets'.
The $64,000 question from here - should you be selling too?
Well, let's discuss that on today's Podcast.
Let's face it - sometimes the work we do is mundane.
Even boring at times.
Which is why automation of processes and systems is so valuable.
Getting better results with less work = closer to freedom.
And when it comes to attracting our ideal clients - Ads present a great way to automate the prospecting process and set your sales on autopilot.
But does it really work in Network Marketing.
Can you actually wake up to DMs of people wanting what you have?
The answer is Yes* - with a few caveats...
It's great going to an event with thousands of people there.
But that also means there's thousands of people going out straight after and all saying the same thing.
Which means we can very easily get lost in the crowd.
Especially in a Social Media world.
On the Podcast today I want to share with you a simple strategy to make sure you're standing out from everyone else in your company.
And while they fight in a red ocean, you can have a blue ocean all to yourself.
Launching your business can be overwhelming.
There's so many different ways to build your empire.
So many different approaches, it can feel like too much.
Especially when the options can seem so conflicting.
On the Podcast today I want to help remove the confusion for you.
And lay out the only two options for building your business.
Find the one that's best for you and hit the ground running with clarity.
Do you ever feel like quitting?
The wall-kicking days when it feels like nothing is working?
Other people are flying forward while you're going backwards?
We all have those days.
I had many in the early years.
And still have them at times over a decade later.
But whenever I do, I come back to a 5 word manta that keeps me focussed.
Keeping the vision front and centre.
And stopping me from ever giving up.
A special Podcast episode today!
My very first Network Marketing mentor is visiting from Canada at the moment, and that provided a great opportunity to do an impromptu FB Live and Podcast recording for our Way Out Community members.
Warren has been in the industry for almost 22 years now, earning 8+ figures over that time.
Through all the ups and downs of the past 2 decades, he's consistently a top earner, enroller and leader - and he shares his secrets to staying on track with you today.
Episode 350!
A chance to go back to the very start and share an event that completely changed our lives - as well as sharing a story that happened a few weeks ago that stopped Angie and I in our tracks.
Leaders are the game changers in Network Marketing.
They represent energy, excitement and momentum.
And finding Leaders is always one of the main goals of any Network Marketer.
But there's one key skill in growing a team and becoming a great leader that stops many people.
It stops them turning a good income into a great life.
On today's Podcast I want to show you how to overcome this challenge.
So you can keep the momentum growing.
And enjoy the incredible benefits of a growing team of leaders.
Everyone knows that skills pay the bills.
So which skills are the most important?
Where should you focus your time and efforts?
Especially if you're starting your journey.
On today's Podcast, I look at the most important skills for success.
Work on these, everything else will fall into place.
Sales rockstar Jenn 'Super' Cooper joins me on the Podcast today!
We have a great chat about:
- Why are people resistant to sales?
- Reducing the friction at the front through great marketing.
- Building authority and 'owning' your niche.
- The questions that get your the answers you're looking for.
You can follow Jenn on all the major social platforms @thejenncooper.
Our own personal story is one of the key factors in building a business.
So what do we do if we don't have one - yet?
Can you still get started?
Or do you need to wait until you've hit your goals to start talking to people?
If you know me, you'll know I hate the word 'balance'.
Because it's really the opposite to 'freedom'.
Having freedom means a great amount of money and choice, without the great amounts of work that most people would need to do.
We want to live an unbalanced life - great income for little work.
Which can only be achieved through an unbalanced life at the start - working very hard for little reward early, and staying focused through the tough days.
But there is one balance that we have to achieve.
Without it - we won't ever achieve those great goals.
Fresh from a trip through UK & Europe - I wanted to spend some time on the Podcast sharing some of the major take-aways from the events I trained at.
Today - the 3 mantras that we use every single day in our business and our investments.
Time Management would have to be the single biggest challenge I hear from most people.
Whenever I'm a guest on a team call, or doing 1:1 coaching with someone - the biggest questions always revolve around finding the time to squeeze this business in.
So I thought talking about Time Management, and how I divide up my day in order to be as efficient as possible, would be a great way to kick-off 2025.
Plus - I share some new goals for the Podcast, and how you can help (and get coached for free along the way).
Our final Podcast episode for the year!
Making it the perfect time to look at the 3 essentials in our business.
Whether we're on the right track.
Or whether they need to be fixed.
So we can roll into 2025 and make it an incredible year.
'Tis the season for Goal Setting!
As we come into the final weeks of 2024, ready to turn the page on a new 2025 - it's a huge time for people setting new goals for the new year.
But we also know that most people won't reach the goals they set.
And so I wanted to share with you some of the things I do to stay more grounded and focused in my goal setting.
On the Podcast today I want to share with you the mindset shift I used 12 years ago, that took me from about to quit - to quitting my job and going full time a year later.
Everyone knows they need to be more consistent.
But not everyone knows how to be more consistent.
On the Podcast today, I want to share the mindset I use to ensure I'm not only consistent each day with my activities.
But also ensure that I always maintain a long-term vision.
Avoiding the roller-coaster of emotions that many people struggle with.
Black Friday Sales are happening soon.
And they're a fantastic time to create buzz and excitement in your time.
As well as a boost in your commission.
So how do you best maximise this time?
On the Podcast today I want to share with you a simple strategy to make sure you're maximising the sales, without causing a roller-coaster culture in your team.
Leadership is a huge goal in Network Marketing.
Becoming a leader.
Finding Leaders.
Mentoring them to take over and build their own teams.
After all - there's no residual income without leaders.
But there's a huge roadblock in becoming a leader.
One that stops many in their tracks.
But if you can identify it.
And understand it's a positive, not a negative.
You can seperate yourself from the pack.
And start creating a true freedom income.
Stress is a huge factor in our lives.
Especially on the entrepreneurial journey.
There's incredible potential and excitement on the good days.
But also plenty of stress on the bad days.
My very good friend Jen Jefferies joins me today to talk about overcoming stress.
Ensuring that we're in the best possible mental state.
In order to feel our best.
And perform to our potential.
You can follow her on Instagram @thepresentdaywisewoman
I love to share all the things Angie and I do each day to build our empire.
But today, I want to share one thing I don't do.
In fact - I refuse to do it.
Because sometimes the most important part of business isn't the things you're adding - but what you're subtracting.
Everyone knows Personal Development is key.
Growing ourselves in order to grow our business (and income).
Having a personal development journey with a compensation plan attached.
But Personal Development can also be a huge trap.
For many - it's a spiral of accumulating knowledge, but never actually learning.
On the Podcast today, I share my Personal Development Success Formula.
Ensuring that's you're actually growing and developing.
And seeing the results in your business.
There's an old saying in business:
If you can't measure it, you can't fix it.
One of the biggest steps from a hobby to a business is making sure you're tracking your numbers.
- Tracking your DMO.
- Tracking your enrolments.
- Tracking your expenses.
But there's ONE metric that hardly anyone tracks.
And it's the single most important number to track when you're wanting to create freedom.
It's always incredibly frustrating when you're business is stuck.
And it can seem like no matter what you do - the momentum doesn't return.
But the good news is, it's generally the smallest thing that flicks the switch.
The tiny hinge that swings a huge door.
On the Podcast today, I want to share a simple 3 word philosophy that has helped Matt get his business back into incredible momentum - having 500 people a day enter his downline.
Everyone knows the saying:
It's not what works, it's what duplicates...
But if everyone is duplication, how do we find leaders?
Because that's the challenge - leaders don't duplicate.
Freedom Fest is done for 2024!
What an incredible day it was.
So many top leaders and 7&8 figure earners collaborating together and delivering some amazing training.
Plus we were joined (virtually) by the legends Frazer Brookes and Rob Sperry.
And so I wanted to share my top takeaways from their speeches.
The golden nuggets that really resonated with me.
I hope they help you too.
Confusion is everywhere in this industry.
And so much of it we create ourselves.
With lots of the nice catchy sound-bites we say from stage creating confusion instead of clarity...
Which brings us to this one: It's not a sprint it's a marathon...
But is that really true?
Because I think there's a LOT of reasons why it's NOT a marathon.

My VIP client Edd is crushing it on TikTok at the moment.
With his videos getting 50k+ views, hundreds of leads and dozens of new customers.
He joins me on the Podcast today to share how he's achieved that.
How he created his following.
The structure of his videos.
And the 3 different types of videos you can create.
Leadership is the ultimate goal in Network Marketing.
And the financial reward for leading a great team is amazing.
Which also means it's not going to be easy.
There are many challenges on the lonely road of leadership.
And there's one in particular that stops a lot of people in their tracks.
Preventing them from enjoying the freedom that residual income provides.
Goal setting is essential in achieving success.
And we're regularly encouraged to set massive goals.
But is that the best way to approach your freedom journey?
And is goal setting even the key thing to focus on?
Because when you switch your focus to something much smaller.
You'll have a much greater chance of building the life of your dreams.
Do you struggle to capture people's attention on Social Media?
Use these 3 templates to help you 'stop the scroll' and have your ideal customers engaging in your content.
Lutz and Michaela have had an amazing year (so far).
They've tripled their downline.
Rank advanced four times.
And have now been asked to speak at their company's annual event.
What's even cooler - was they were about to quit 12 months ago.
On the Podcast today, I want to share their story with you.
And the 3 things they did to get their results.
Tomorrow - a mystical place where hopes and dreams go to die...
Unfortunately, in business - there's no better way to kill your business dead than through procrastination.
And so today on the Podcast, I want to share with you the mindset shift to help overcome this challenge.
And get your business back into momentum.
Last week, Rodan + Fields made a huge change to their compensation plan.
And it will effect the earnings of thousands of distributors.
For so many people, their income will disappear overnight.
A terribly challenging day for many.
Whilst it may not effect you directly, there are 2 very important lessons to learn from this decision.
Ensuring you're creating a legacy that you own, not just control.
Time Management is essential in creating freedom.
Making money is great.
But not if it's costing you all of your spare time.
It just becomes a second job at that point.
On the Podcast today I want to share with you my simple Time Management Mantra.
We'll be doing a deep dive next Tuesday evening as well - live and free on my Facebook Page and in The Way Out FB Group.
We can all have those wall-kicking days.
Days where nothing seems to be working.
Days where you just want to quit.
I know we've had many, many, many of them over the years.
But what's always kept me going.
Through all the challenges and roadblocks.
Is the one Guarantee of Business.
And the one Guarantee of Life.
'Game Changer' is a popular term in Network Marketing.
But Social Media sure did change the game - in so many ways.
When I first found NWM in 2004 - and you had to text every single person in your team every single bit of information...
And it cost money to send a receive texts...
What a different game we play now.
But that also means we need to be a lot smarter with how we show up on our SM.
Because it's a very crowded marketplace out there now.
And there's 1 mistake you're possibly making.
Which is sending you to the back of the line.
Objections can be tricky.
They can also be a great tool - if used properly.
Because they can help with your market research.
Help with feedback on your offer.
And they give you another reason to follow-up.
On the Podcast today, I want to share with you the 4 main reasons you encounter Objections.
And the scripting to help you overcome them.
Even disarm them before they come up.
Everyone knows the fortune is in the follow up(s).
But not everyone knows how to follow up.
And it can be one of the most confronting tasks for people to complete.
'What do I say?'
'Am I being annoying?'
'Did I leave it too long?'
Conversations that happen in our head that stop us from taking action.
On the Podcast today, I share 2 hacks for taking the fear out of your follow-up.
And getting you better results - faster.
Financial Freedom - the goal for so many people.
Being able to sit on a beach and not have to do anything - an idyllic dream.
But that also presents the biggest paradox in this industry.
Because in order to sit around and do nothing, you have to be able to put your money to work and then sit around and be patient.
And surprisingly, it's the single hardest thing for people to do.
Sami Eskelin - Network Marketing legend and Personal Trainer to the Godfather Eric Worre - joins me on the Podcast today.
Sami shares his top tips for ensuring you balance physical fitness with mental wellness, in order to stay focussed and at the top of your game.
If you'd like to chat with Sami more or ask him any questions directly, his email is: reinvent3d.life@gmail.com
Freedom is a huge goal for most Network Marketers.
And that's a measurement of both money and time.
All the money in the world is useless if you have no time to enjoy it.
Which is why it's incredibly important to be efficient in your business.
Especially when it comes to your prospecting and enrolling.
Recently I ran a poll of the greatest challenge people face each day in their business; and finding committed and driven business builders was the most common answer.
For most people - there's 1 single reason this isn't happening.
And it's actually quite easy to fix.
Setting a huge vision is exciting.
It can also be overwhelming.
Worse - it can often be confusing.
Because when the vision is too big - it takes us away from the day to day activities that we must do.
If you want to ensure your vision comes true - make sure you balance it with this...
Investing can be scary.
It can also be overwhelming.
With so many different areas to invest - many people can be frozen into inaction.
On the Podcast today, I want to help take the fear and overwhelm away from you.
Taking you through where I would start investing, and the 5 places I would focus as a beginner.
As always - NOT financial advice, just what's worked for me.
Leadership is always a hot topic in Network Marketing.
Even defining exactly what a leader is creates a lot of discussion.
Are you a leader because of your rank?
The culture you've created?
Or the awards you've won?
Personally, there's 1 single thing that truly defines leaders (and freedom).
And here's the 3 word mantra Angie and I used to focus on that.
The awesome Chloe Myers joins me on the Podcast today.
Chloe and I originally 'met' a couple of years ago through my mentorship program - and you could ned meet a more passionate and positive person.
But like all of us, she also had times where self-doubt took over.
And the knock-on effect was showing in her business.
But recently, a mindset shift helped clear the noise.
And Chloe has been on fire.
Bringing in 8 new business partners in just 2 weeks!
Overwhelm can be a huge struggle.
And at times it can seem like there are so many balls to juggle in this business.
Between your own enrolments, personal development, social media and team building - it's no wonder people are overwhelmed and feel like quitting.
On the Podcast today, I want to take away that confusion.
And focus on the 4 daily tasks to build your fortune.
Or - the Fortune 4 as I like to call them.
You can download a PDF companion to this call here - https://andrewlogan.net/fortune
Price objections are always a challenge.
And with the current cost of living and inflationary pressures - they can be even more challenging.
But does that mean nobody is buying?
Well - that depends on what information you believe...
And just like that - we're into April!
Which means we're 1/4 of the way through 2024.
Which makes it a perfect time to pause and review the year so far.
A quarter-time speech essentially.
Are you on track towards your goals?
Or do you need to change the approach?
A couple of days later than normal, but today on the Podcast I want to talk about the common negativity around 'losing friends in Network Marketing'.
It's something that you hear a lot.
And can stop a lot of people before the really get started.
But is losing friends a truly bad thing?
Because what if we changed our mindset from losing old friendships to creating the room for new, and more exciting, friendships?
Over the weekend, Facebook was very kind to remind me of a pivotal moment in our lives that occurred 6 years ago.
It was truly a 'sliding doors' moment - and it changed everything.
And so I wanted to take you back to this moment - in true 'origin story' style.
Hopefully it helps you with your own vision of what's possible.
When it all boils down, we work on commissions.
We give our industry a lot of fancy names, but the reality is the money we earned is based on the amount of sales we make, or that our team makes.
And so with that, should you work with a high-ticket offering that pays more upfront?
Or a low-ticket program that is accessible to more people?
Which is the best option overall?
Spoiler alert - the answer is neither.
There's a 3rd equation that hasn't been discussed yet.
And it's the most important number to know when it comes to creating freedom.
If you missed it, 48 hours ago BTC - the biggest and most well-known cryptocurrency - hit a new all time high, before a brief pullback.
So does this mean $100k is around the corner?
Or is this the last gasp before the bubble bursts?
More importantly - what should you do?
Episode 300!
And so I wanted to bring a great guest, and great friend, to the Podcast today.
Dan Marshall will take you through his 5 step system to fixing your finances.
Plugging the holes in the bucket, so that you can enjoy more freedom with the extra income you're creating.

How many times have you been told 'Oh don't worry, every No brings you closer to a Yes'?
Sounds great.
But it also sets a lot of people up for failure.
It creates the mindset that if you simply continue doing the same thing, you'll somehow get a different result.
It's not just a numbers game, it's also a getting better game.

A simple formula, but once you understand it's power, it can drastically reduce the stress and overwhelm in your life - leading to far more happiness and freedom.
Part 2 of our 12 Systems You Need for Success Podcast today, taking you through the remaining 2 systems for creating money, and the 4 systems you need to create freedom.
If you want a business, you need systems.
Without systems in your team, you don't have a business.
You've simply created yourself another job.
On the Podcast today, I share 6 of the 12 systems you need in order to have a successful, and profitable, business.
The final 6 will be on Thursdays Podcast.
Events are an integral part of building your business.
Your ability to promote the event and the number of people you have in the room (or on the Zoom) will go a very long way to defining how much money you make each year.
But for all the time, energy and effort focussed into getting people to the event - it's only 20% of the battle.
It's what you do after that makes all the difference.
Back in the Podcast chair after a whirlwind week over to the USA to spend 2 days in a Mastermind with Eric Worre.
An incredible week, with so many amazing takeaways.
On the Podcast today, I want to share with you 3 of the most impactful.
I hope they help you too.
Everyone knows they need to invest in order to create a legacy.
But not everyone knows how to invest.
And with so many options out there, it can be overwhelming understanding what's best for you.
So on todays Podcast, I look at the two main investment vehicles, and why you should choose one over the other.
Everyone knows that a lot of people struggle in Network Marketing.
And unfortunately, a lot of times it's our own fault.
We set people up for failure with incorrect and bad advice.
Sound bites and mantras that sound great from stage - and get a lot of people excited - but they actually lead to incorrect expectations and the wrong mindsets.
Today, I address one of the most common tropes in the NWM industry.
And it's one that's bound the cause failure if you follow it.
On the Podcast today, I share the process I use in my business, finances and health in order to breakthrough challenges or frustrating plateaus and get myself to the next level.
I'm joined on the Podcast today by the Rockstar Kady Prujean.

Imposter Syndrome can be a huge challenge for people.
Especially as we look to build a social media brand.
Those negative thoughts in our head can become louder.
And tell us we're not deserving of success.
Yesterday, a good friend shared an analogy about Imposter Syndrome that I really liked.
And I wanted to share it with you on the Podcast today.
Having a Doctors clinic selling your products is a fever dream for many distributors.
And as a Physiotherapist myself, there was never a shortage of people wanting to link arms with us.
But there are 3 main factors that will determine whether or not you will be successful.
Miss them, and you'll hit a brick wall you can never break through.
Scheduling is one of the biggest challenges I hear.
It's one of the most commonly asked questions on training calls and Zooms.
On the Podcast, I want to share with you how Angie and I schedule our day.
From the very first days when we were just launching - to now as 'full-timers'.
Kicking off the New Year with a bang - with industry legend John Melton.
John joins me on the Podcast, sharing his journey from being as 'broke as a joke' to earning 8 figures over the past few years.

Taking your new Customers & Distributors from Excited to Committed is a 3 Step Process - and there's one thing that's essential in helping to bridge that gap. Get them this ASAP - and everything else becomes much easier.
On the Podcast today, I take you through the 4 stages of your business development, and the mindset shift you need to grow to each level - along with the challenges and common mistakes that can halt your growth.
When a new distributor is starting, speed is key.
Harnessing their excitement and energy into results - so they're building their belief and confidence ASAP.
The faster they earn money, the more likely they are to stay.
But when it comes to making the switch from earning an income to creating freedom - speed can often be the biggest hindrance.
And we need to switch our emotions from urgency to patience.
Otherwise we'll never experience true wealth.
Before someone makes a purchase - there's 2 questions they need answered.
If you can't answer both - they'll buy from somewhere else.
Or someone else.
On today's Podcast, Michael Bernoff joins me to talk about 2 of the most important skills in sales - Communication and Confidence.
Scripts, templates and systems are only effective when you have confidence to communicate them.
And so that's why I've brought in the expert Michael Bernoff to share with you exactly how to improve your confidence and communication skills - so that you start seeing better results.

On the Podcast today, I want to share with you a huge lesson I learned from Eric Worre.
It was early on in our NWM career - and has always helped me on days where I struggle with clarity - or patience...
I hope it helps you in the same way.
Leadership is one of my very favourite topics to talk about.
Because at the end of the day - there's no freedom without leadership.
Systems and tools help you earn an extra income.
But there's no residual income (or time freedom) without leadership.
And so today, I want to share with you one my the most impactful leadership lessons I ever heard.
One that gave me clarity from the overwhelm.
I hope it helps you too.
There are so many ways to invest.
So many vehicles to choose from.
But when it all boils down - there's really only 2 options.
Are you investing to create wealth or store it?
A simple question - but so important.
Because the only way to create wealth in a storage vehicle is to already be wealthy, or get very, very lucky.
And luck is not a strategy we can rely on.
Getting clarity in your social media branding can be a challenge.
We often get so caught up in who we are that we end up being incredibly vague.
That lack of clarity in who we means we end up lost in the crowd.
So rather than thinking about who you are - it's better to focus on who you aren't.
And using an 'enemy' to separate yourself from the crowded middle.
Often - it's the things we don't do that truly separate ourselves from the pack.
Anyone can do the work, most can't remove the distractions.
And on today's Podcast, I share with you 3 of the biggest things that will stop your business growth.
Avoid these at all costs.

Money follows the leader - especially in Network Marketing.
The top leaders are (almost always) the ones earning the biggest cheques.
If you want to earn more money, growing your leadership is an incredibly effective way to do it.
But that can be easier said than done.
Because leadership is a big topic.
With a lot of ideas and opinions on how to do it best.
But between all of that, there's a handful of very common hurdles that people face.
And on the Podcast today, I want to share with you a 2 step process to clearing one of the most challenging hurdles of leadership growth.
So you can develop yourself, produce more results - and ultimately earn more money.
How many times have you set a huge goal at an event - often at the encouragement of the keynote speaker - only to come home and hit a wall?
The energy and excitement from the event disappears straight away.
And you're left feeling like a failure.
There's a simple reason for this.
That goes right back to our animal instincts.
An instinct that will stop us from ever reaching our goals.
The good news - it's also just as simply fixed.
In business, you don't get paid on your time, you get paid on what you produce.
And to be profitable, you need to be productive.
Making sure you're producing as much as possible in the spare time you have.
Which is what separates a successful business from a failing one.
So today I wanted to help you with that.
A simple acronym to massively increase your producivity.
So let's GTTFP!
On the Podcast today, I want to share with you a lesson I learned from a multiple 7 figure earner many years ago.
It's a story that's stayed with me closely over the past 10+ years.
Especially on the days when I felt like quitting.

Recognition is an incredible part of our industry.
But sometimes - it can also give people the wrong expectations.
Especially when we talk about / recognise income.
Because there's a couple of massive misconceptions about money.
And today, I want to address two of them.
Would you like a simple System that you can use in your prospecting, posting and messaging that's going to increase your success rate and lead to more enrolments?
Well - today's Podcast is for you.
Finding leaders - the ultimate goal for every Network Marketer.
They bring energy, excitement - and most importantly, results.
Results that happen whether you're there or not.
Because there's no legacy without leadership.
And in order to build great leadership in your team, the language you use is essential.
The more languages you can speak, the deeper and stronger the leadership you can build.
Finding balance... an age old problem.
Whether it's balance between work & life, exercise and sleep, diet and tacos...
And in this case - balancing investing for the future and experiencing life now.
On the Podcast today, I share the very simple mantra Angie and I use to ensure we're enjoying life with the children now as well as building a legacy for their future.
Personal development is an integral part of our business growth.
It doesn't magically make things happen.
But it does ensure better results from the actions we are taking.
The challenge is that we can get caught up in the personal development rabbit hole.
Constantly learning and growing, but never having a plan to put it into action.
Forever getting ready to get ready to get ready.
On the Podcast today, I share my simple 3 step mantra for Personal Development.
To ensure that I'm learning, growing and developing each day -
Along with taking action on what I'm learning.
When you're chasing goals, it's always important to have clarity in your mind.
Without clarity there's confusion, and a confused mind stands still.
Too often people struggle in Network Marketing because of a lack of clarity in what they're hearing.
So many of the mantras we hear are contradictory:
- Everyone will want this - but also 9/10 people will say no...
- Express yourself - but also it's not what works, it's what duplicates...
- You want to find leaders - but also make sure people follow the system...
- This is a 'freedom' business - but also you need to be disciplined and sacrifice...
In this case - we're taught that success loves speed, but also taught to have long term expectations...
So which one is it?
We all know we need to 'treat this like a business'.
But not everyone knows how to do that.
Which will often lead to people getting frustrated at challenges and wanting to quit.
And that's why we need to have our expectations in place when we start.
Knowing the lifespan of a business - and the challenges that we will encounter.
With the correct expectations, we have much greater clarity.
And know how to grow through each phase towards freedom.
Everyone knows the famous formula E=MC2.
Especially if you were a maths nerd as a child - like I was.
Many Maths and Physics classes diving deeply into this formula.
But what if we looked at it for our business as well.
With some simple tweaks, we can create an incredibly powerful formula for our business success, and our wealth creation.
Continuing on our Mythbusting these - I wanted to talk about this very common one.
Both from a mythbusting POV and an objection handling POV.
Plus - a bonus tip for the 2 strategies to use if you're continually coming up against the same objection.
Finding Leaders - the ultimate dream for every Network Marketer.
Which always leads to the next question: What does a leader look like?In 2008, the Gallop company completed the greatest survey of leadership ever undertaken, and found that it came down to 4 key traits.
But they're probably not what you think.
Celebrating Episode 250!

One of the hardest parts of success is getting through the crowd at the start line.
But once you get through that - there's a lot less traffic.
And if you follow this simple formula - you'll be able to get to the very front.
Ahead of the 99% and into the Top 1%.
Continuing with our Myth Busting episodes - today I talk about the reality of 'timing'.
Which parts of timing do lead to success.
And which parts don't.
'Getting in on the ground floor' is regularly sold to people as the best opportunity.
But it can also be the worst place to be if the building collapses.
It's said that 'Content is King'
But engagement is Queen.
It's really everything else in the Kingdom.
And being able to measure our engagement provides almost instant feedback.
But it can also drop us into a comparison trap.
A trap that will stop any business growth from occurring.

Let's talk about the 'B' word - Business.
We love to share about our 'business' with people.
But often - to them - it just sounds like busyness...
And no one wants to be busier.
But there's another reason why we should drop the B word.
Because in many ways we don't have a Business.
We actually have something MUCH, MUCH better.
'I don't really care about money'
A very common phrase I hear from people -
Especially when their business is stuck...
The money comes in - but leaves just as fast
In the same way my wife would leave if I told her I didn't care.
But it's not about obsessing about the money.
It's about respecting it - as the vehicle to provide you more happiness.
Honour it, respect it and care about it.
And it will provide you all your freedom dreams.
There are a lot of myths and misconceptions in Network Marketing.
Some of them from the outside world.
Others - we create ourselves.
Over the coming weeks on the Podcast I want to explore some of the most common myths.
Unpack and explore them - and give you the mindsets and language to overcome them.
Today - when people say 'the marketing is saturated'.
It's the middle of Winter here in Australia.
But you wouldn't know it.
Clear blue skies and 29 degrees C (84F)!
For our Northern Hemisphere friends - it's the middle of Summer.
And also a time known as the 'Summer Shuffle'.
And with it - a lot of people moving companies.
Looking for their new home.
When they do - there can often be a Social Media post that follows.
And it's a trend we must avoid.
AI has been around for a while.
But ChatGPT is certainly a quantum leap in its development.
And it's providing Marketers with an incredible platform for their businesses.
But, like anything, it can be the best thing in your business.
Or it can be the worst thing.
Today, I want to share how I'm using ChatGPT in business - and the ways to benefit from it, along with the common pitfalls to avoid.
With most things in business and wealth creation - simple is best.
Simple scales, complex fails.
And so on the Podcast today, I wanted to share a very simple mantra for success.
In your connecting, content creation and business building - if you live by this, you will be able to create an incredible team and be well on the path to financial freedom.
Everyone knows that leadership is key to creating freedom.
You can make money in this industry through hard work, blitzes, momentum etc...
But without leadership, there's no freedom.
There's no residual income.
There's definitely no legacy.
And so if you want to level up your leadership, there's 2 key factors you need to focus on.
Once you do them, you'll be able to lead an enormous team to huge success.
Consistency in our actions is one of the closest things to a 'cheat code' you can find.
And although everyone knows they need to be more consistent
Many people struggle with the how.
Simon Chan - the guru of consistency - joins me on the Podcast today, sharing his 7 Step Framework to Creating and Maintaining Consistency.
Simon is an incredible speaker, trainer, author and podcaster - and a walking example of authenticity in his own consistency.

The single biggest fear that stops most marketers: opening our mouths...
The fear of saying the wrong thing.
The fear of how to answer questions.
The fear of copping negativity or haters.
And it's that fear that stops so many people reaching their goals.
So I wanted to share a simple 4 word phrase that you can use in any company, with any product.
And it's so simple that your team can easily duplicate it as well.
A lot of people can be overwhelmed by investing.
In particular - because it can look very complicated.
It can feel like that you need a Doctorate in Mathematics to have success.
But the reality is:
a) Investing is much more about emotional control than mathematical ability.
and b) the maths that are required is generally very simple.
Anyone selling complicated investments is probably trying to take you for a ride.
And today I wanted to share the very simple Rule of 72 - that can quickly show you how long it will take your investment to double in value.
Because that most important decision in investing is knowing the future value of your purchases today.
Everyone knows that having clarity around your social media brand and content is essential.
And to attract people to you, you want to be able to project a level of expertise to your target audience.
When you understand their challenges and can offer them value - trust can be built very quickly.
And on today's podcast, I want to share a very simple mindset to help you create that clarity.
I wanted to share a personal story with you today.
Something that I went through almost 20 years ago now.
A very expensive and painful lesson in how the markets work.
Because the markets can giveth - and the market can taketh away...
Often, the taking away is much, much faster than the giving as well.
And as expensive as that financial loss was.
It also taught me some very, very valuable lessons.
Lessons that we've used to turn around and make millions with.
'Tell your friends and family'is generally the first thing we're told to do when we start our Network Marketing Business.
Find the people who already know, like & trust you and share your excitement.
This is a tried and tested strategy - but it's not for everyone.
Because it's often those closest to us who can also be the most negative.
And our fear of rejection can paralyse us.
Nobody wants to lose friends and family in 'one of those things'.
Which means there is another option for starting your business.
It's a little bit slower, but it can lead to a much stronger business in the long term.
Last week, New Zealand announced they were officially in a recession.
And with interest rising around the world, many other countries will make similar announcements in the second half of the year.
And whilst that will present a lot of challenges for many people.
It also presents the opportunity to change your business.
As long as you're willing to do one thing...
Lot's of people are looking for 'the secret'
In our microwave & credit card society - so many people are constantly searching for the little ninja hack or short-cut to success.
And in some ways - we have it here in Network Marketing.
Between our products and our compensation plan - we can offer people an inside line to achieving their goals faster than ever.
But there's also aspects of building a business and creating freedom that can not be short-cut.
And this is where so many people will fail.
Especially when it comes to the really juicy rewards.
Everyone knows that Duplication is key.
But unfortunately, so many people won't ever start their business build.
Because no matter how incredible the opportunity in front of them is...
There's two (false) beliefs that will hold them back from ever opening their mouths.
But it can be fixed...
One of the biggest challenges most people face in their Social Media is a lack of clarity.
Knowing who you're posting too is more important than whether to use a Reel or a Live.
Before getting caught up in What to post and How - it's imperative we take a step back and understand the needs of our audience.
The challenges they're facing, the pain they're in, the questions they're asking.
Once you know the answer to those questions, your social media game will soar.
Energy and Excitement are great currencies in your Network Marketing business.
Sales especially are a transfer of energy.
Without energy, there's nothing to transfer - you won't be able to sell.
But there are times where our energy and enthusiasm can work against us.
And in particular, two words that we can often use that will stop your business growing.
Time Management and Personal Development are two of the most important ingredients in a successful business, and a freedom life.
And the more we grow - the more easily we can overcome the challenges that we face.
Plus - a bonus system 'NET' to help you accelerate your Personal Development, without costing you time.
'*You have to spend money to make money'...
'Investment debt is good debt'...
'It's OK to lose money because you save tax'...*All of these are popular phrases.
And all of them will send you broke.
Because there's no such things as Good Debt and Bad Debt, only Income Producing Debt and Income Stealing Debt.
11 years ago, when I first started Network Marketing, I had one massive problem - I was petrified of rejection.
Like almost everyone who starts this business, the fear of what people would think of me stopped me opening my mouth for a whole year.
But once Angie fell pregnant with Jack, and we knew we needed to look more deeply into this thing, I realised I needed to get over my fears and get to work.
And so I went looking for authors, coaches and mentors who could help me with exactly what to say to people.
And nobody had a greater influence in my early years than Tom 'Big Al' Schreiter.
His book Ice Breakers was the first one I read, and then I became addicted.
Now, it's my great honour to be interviewing him on the Podcast, where he shares exactly what to say, so you can go into any conversation or meeting, without the fear of rejection.
Because when your posture changes, so do your results.
People often ask ‘How do I find more leaders?’
But a better question to really ask is ‘What can I do to help people grow?’
Because when you ask better questions, you get better answers.
And the answer to the second question is pretty simple…
But it's probably not what you think...
Joining me on the Podcast today is my very first business and financial mentor - who then become my Network Marketing sponsor!
Jen has been in NWM for 12 years now, being a 7 figure annual earner for most of those years, and earned 8 figures cumulative!
Through all of those achievements, she's still stayed down to earth and humble.
Most importantly, she's never lost her focus.
And during our interview she shares her 7 Principles for Staying Focussed - to help you avoid the distractions and shiny lights.
Everyone knows the saying: Your business begins at the end of your warm market.The friends we have when we start - they will get us so far in our build.
But at some point we'll run out of people that we already know.
And then we'll need to find new people to talk to.
Which for some - can be incredibly scary.
But if you follow this simple, 3 step system - you'll never have trouble with creating new conversations.
Which you can then turn into commissions.
Time for a skills audit.
Because if we want to treat this like a business - we need to know our KPIs.
What are the 7 Key Performance Indicators we need to build a successful business?
And how do you rate out of 10 on each of them?
Do this audit with yourself, and do it with your team.
Because you can't fix a problem until you know what the problem is...
Momentum is a beautiful thing.
And being able to ride a wave of momentum in your business can be very exciting.
And profitable.
It helps you, and all those on the wave as well, make a lot more money, with a lot more ease.
But if you want to ride a wave, you can't be sitting on the beach.
It's only those already out there paddling who get to take advantage of the big swell.
'We don't sell, we share!' -a phrase people love to say from stage.
The problem is but, it's not true.
We sell, like any other legitimate business.
But that doesn't mean people want to be sold.And there's a very big difference in the actions of someone who's looking to buy, and someone who feels they're being sold.
Earlier this week I was having a great chat with a friend.
They were just about to take their first step into the investing world...
Which obviously came with a lot of excitement - and also some fear.
The fear of losing money that everyone can feel when they're just getting started.
And with so many horror stories out there of people losing everything in investing - those fears can be magnified.
But when it comes to losing money in investing, there's generally 3 main mistakes that people make.
And it you can avoid these - you're far more likely to be on the path to success - and freedom.
When I was young - I set the goal of being Financially Free at 33.
It was the mantra that drove me for years as I hustled to find my way out.
My friend Morgan - he did even better; setting (and achieving) the goal of being Financially Free at 23.
And he joins us on the podcast today to share his journey to success - from the depths of depression and brink of despair - to being financially free at 23.
Successful people are generally the hardest working people in the room.
They are dedicated and committed - and that shows up in their daily actions.
But there's also a place where they're often incredibly lazy.
And it's that laziness that saves them significant time and energy.
It's often the key to setting them free.

I love sport.
Whether playing or watching - there are so many great lessons we can learn from studying successful sports players and teams.
And if you want to win in your Network Marketing business - one of the best ways is to liken it to your favourite team.
Because if you can keep the fans in the stands happy, and help the players win more games - you'll be victorious in your business and financial goals.
I love talking about Leadership.
Behind money mindset, it's my second favourite topic to talk about.
A very close second, because the topics are so intertwined.
As much as we love to talk about Residual Income in the Network Marketing industry - there's no residual without Leadership.
And there's no Freedom without this particular character trait.
Without in your business, or your investing, you'll never be able to achieve freedom.
Everyone knows the marketing adage: Don't sell products, sell solutions to problems.It's not about the product that you have, but how it can solve a problem in someone's life.
But if we zoom out even a little further, what we sell really is 'the future'.
If people make the decision to join - their future will be different to their current today.
There is hope for them that they can change their life.
That hope is such an incredible gift, but it can quickly turn to the worst thing in the world - hype.
One of the biggest challenges we can all face is criticism and negativity from others.
Especially on Social Media.
Any time we put our head up outside the box - there's plenty of people wanting to drag us back down.
On today's Podcast, I want to share my mantra on dealing with negativity - and how to turn their message around to create positivity and growth.
In business - it's not about how many hours we work, but how productive we are in those hours.
Not the number of days you spend in your business, but the results your business achieves each day.
If we want to set ourselves free - we can't have a 9-5 mindset.
And especially, we can't have a 9-5 language.
But if you change your language, it's incredible the changes you can make in your productivity, results and free-time.
Plus - once you make these changes, you'll attract more leaders.
So many people want to change their life - but they don't want to change their life.
As much as they want a different result, they can be paralysed by the fear of making wholesale changes to our lives.
Especially when it comes to changing the environment that we're in; our work circles, friendships, relationships etc.
On today's Podcast, I'm joined by a very close friend and mentor, David T S Wood - as he shares his story from the slums of London to total financial freedom and happiness - thanks to this incredible industry and personal growth.
And most importantly, the courage to change his environment at 18 - and how that led to travelling through 40+ countries the following 10 years, and now 112 countries altogether.
When we start our NWM journey - the vision can be incredibly exciting.
Seeing people creating a different life for themselves - it's a powerful and visceral destination that many would love to reach.
And when it's that enticing, it's pretty easy to buy into it.
But there's a second agreement that very few are willing to make - but it's the one that makes all the difference.
As annoying and upsetting as hearing 'NO' can be, it's better than when someone has 'to think about it'...
The person who's constantly stuck in between saying yes and no is the most frustrating of all.
Because it leaves us in purgatory of what to do / say.
What other info should I send?
How often do I follow up?
Am I being consistent or annoying?
On today's Podcast, I wanted to share with you 3 simple scripts you can use to have people making their decision sooner - so you can move your business faster.
We can't control which decision they make, but we can help them make the decision faster.
Darin Kidd is an incredible trainer, speaker and coach - having built multiple 7 figure businesses, he is now helping others achieve the same through his book and mentorship.
And over the weekend, I was honoured to have him on a Live interview with me - sharing his secrets to growth through identifying what's holding us back, and then getting rid of it.

Earlier in the month, I recorded a Podcast episode on the 3 Secrets to Financial Success; making sure that the money we earn is taken care of and working hard for us.
In today's episode, I want to cover the other side of the coin: the 3 Ingredients to Business Success.
Get these 3 ingredients correct, and success is inevitable.
One of the greatest challenges in Network Marketing is making sure people are given the right tools and info to succeed.
Not enough - they get frustrated and quit.
Too much - they get overwhelmed and quit.
And this is especially prevalent when it comes to leadership.
And as much as we want to invite everyone to the leadership table, the reality is that if everyone is a leader - then no one is a leader.
And once that happens, your team will start to fall apart.
With everything we buy, there are 3 costs...
The first 2 are well known; there's the cost of the money that we spend and the cost of the time we spent earning that money.
But there's also a third cost that's rarely talked about - and far more important to know.
And that is the 'Missed Opportunity Cost'.
Because whenever we buy something, we simultaneously take away the ability to buy something else.
And that missed opportunity can be incredibly expensive.
On today's Podcast episode, I wanted to share with you the 3 Step Mantra I use each night to help with my personal development and growth.
Implement this into your daily routine, and watch your growth accelerate.
Jumping over the Financial Mindset side of the coin for todays podcast episode, I want to share with you 3 financial mindsets that will change your life - if you implement them.
If you live these 3 secrets each day, get them into your DNA, your life will totally change.
Welcome to Episode 200!
I want to thank you for your support each and every episode.
And to celebrate this big number - who better to bring in than the Ninja himself Frazer Brookes.
In this LIVE recording, Frazer and I talk through the best way to focus your energy in 2023 in order to have massive results through your social media.
I love talking about Leadership.
It's one of my favourite topics to coach and train on.
Because it's one of the true separators between creating a good income and having an incredible life.
And so today - I wanted to share with you the 4 Ls of Leadership; 4 mindsets you can take into each day that will transform your own leadership, and the leadership culture within your business.
Plus it will help new and budding leaders to find you - so your business can start taking care of itself.
We all know the feeling:
You've just reached out to someone and shared your story with them.
And they come back with the question 'So how does it work?'
And we either freeze up and stumble.
Or the flood gates open and we overwhelm them with techno babble.
But there's a much simpler script you can use.
Plus - in this episode I'll share how to filter out the tyre-kickers, who are just sending you on a wild goose chase.
We all know the phrase 'Treat this like a business and it will pay you like a business'.
And that mantra is very true - in many ways.
One way in particular is learning how to focus on being productive over perfect.
Because in business, you don't get paid to be perfect, you get paid to be productive.
On today's episode, I wanted to share a simple mindset shift that you can implement immediately into your business and become 4-5x more productive overnight.
No doubt you've been hearing a lot about Chat GPT recently.
The new AI software focussed purely on language, and it's ability to create grammatically correct articles in seconds.
And in one corner, there are people saying this is the greatest thing ever for marketing - because so much of the boring content creation work can be outsourced.
And in the other corner, there are people saying 'watch out', because with this software, we're no longer necessary...
Part of building a business that lasts long term is making sure it's built on sustainability. Sustainability of our actions and sustainability of our energy.
Because if it can't sustain, then the cheques will dry up very quickly.
And whilst blitzes and 90 day runs are great - but they can be detrimental to the longer term vision.
Short term gains, but they cause a lot of burn-out, and the team falls apart.
On today's podcast episode, I want to share how Angie and I divide up our daily activities around our lives - both at the very start when we both worked full-time, and still to today while we're able to enjoy time freedom.
A good mentor of mine would always say: Keep the main thing the main thing.It's easy to get lost in all the many moving parts of building a business and creating freedom, but when it all boils down, there's a 2 Step Process that Angie and I always kept front and centre in our mind.
From right back in 2013 when we started, to how we build our business today.
And it's so simple, it can easily duplicate throughout your team and create new leadership levels.
When I was working in the hospital system, if a patient presented with a history of TB - you knew you were up for a challenge. A terrible disease that causes so many problems for people.
In NWM - there's also a type of TB that will cause a lot of problems in your business.
Once this disease takes hold, it can be very hard to stop.
The good news - once you're aware, you can stop it in its tracks immediately.
Nothing robs people of success more than fear of judgement and procrastination.
And often, it's the fear of judgement that leads us to procrastinate our income producing activities.
Rather than creating content or reaching out to people - we find other things to do that won't lead to negativity or ridicule.
But when it comes to building a business and investing your money - there's one major factor that causes most people to procrastinate.
The good news - once you're aware, it does become simple to fix.
Success in this business really boils down to how well, and how often, you tell your story.
Like a great movie, a great story can have people captivated, wanting to know more - and even telling their friends to hear the story too.
And with all the tools of Social Media, it's never been easier to share your story with the world.
But it can also be overwhelming. With so many Social Media channels, which is the best?
On today's episode, I share an analogy we used in our team training, to help people find focus and clarity in their Social Media strategy.
Everyone knows the saying 'Treat this like a business, it will pay you like a business'
And there's nothing better than building a business that works for you - so you can enjoy your life more.
But before you get to the juice, you have to get your business off the ground.
And to do that, you shouldn't be treating this as a business, you should be treating it as a job.
The late, great Jim Rohn has the saying 'You can't control the wind, but you can control the set of your sails'.
And on today's Podcast, I want to look at the markets, and where I think they're heading in 2023.
Because if we know the direction of the wind, we can set our sails accordingly.
And be there to take advantage when the winds do change - and separate ourselves from the pack.
Objections and rejections can be frustrating.
They can even make us want to quit.
But at least half the time - the people we're talking to were never going to buy.
Spending time taking them through your sales process, overcoming their objections, following them up regularly - costs you a lot of time for no result.
But what if there was an easy way to identify those 50%, so you can quickly move on and find the people who are ready?
Not only will you reduce your frustrations massively, but you'll also build your business twice as fast - reaching your goals twice as quickly.
10 years ago, Angie and I sat in a room at our first ever NWM event, being mesmerised by an incredible trainer.
She was a multiple-7 figure earner annually, and had amassed multiple 8 figures (so far) over her career in the industry.
We were glued to our seats, hanging off every word.
But for all the training she did at that event, there was one 4 word nugget that she shared that totally changed our business - and our lives.
Taking the step into investing can be overwhelming for many people.
There's the fear of loss that holds some back, but for most, it's the sheer number of different ways to invest your money that can just make it all seem to hard.
But when it really boils down, there are only 2 ways to invest your money.
Of those 2, only 1 that will help you create more freedom.
When it comes to business and investing, it's easy to get caught up systems and information. But the reality is, 99% of the decisions we make are emotional. We act emotionally first, then justify logically afterwards.
And for all the fun and excitement of personal development, really it's a process of improving the control we have over our emotions.
And there's one emotion especially that we have to learn to control - otherwise we'll never be able to truly enjoy the fruits of our labour.

Happy New Year!
Great to be back in the Podcast chair after a break over the Christmas holidays.
And what better time to talk about goal setting strategies for 2023; specifically, 3 strategies to ensure that you're not just goal setting, but goal getting.
Plus - with these strategies, you'll also be able to reduce your overwhelm and cut the procrastination habits.
Our final Podcast episode for the year.
And so I wanted to look back at everything that's been going on in our industry, the financial markets - the world in general.
Because by looking back at the challenges of the past, we can position ourselves to take advantage of the opportunities in the future.
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and safe holidays, looking forward to being back recording again (in a new setup) in 2023!
On today's podcast episode, I look at the saying: 'It's not a sprint, it's a marathon'.
It's one of the most popular mantras in our industry - but is it actually true?
Is NWM and Financial Freedom actually a marathon?
Can you actually get there by just showing up each day?
Does 'staying in the game' guarantee success?
Or is there more to the challenge?
There are two main reasons that stop people getting started in investing:
- Fear of losing money.
- Not knowing where to start.
Between the fear of loss and feelings of overwhelm, most people are stuck at the starting line, never able to get into action and start their investment process.
In today's Podcast, I want to share a single sentence guide to better investing - to hopefully help take out the overwhelm and provide a clear road map for you to start building your investment portfolio and creating your financial freedom story.
Time is our most precious asset.
We can always make back money that we've lost, but never make back lost time.
And that's why it's so important to make sure that, when we're building a business, we're spending our time doing business building activities with business building people.
Having systems in your business for attracting people, launching people and coaching people are all important - but nothing is more important than a system for identifying the leaders from the followers, to ensure you're spending your time with the driven, and systemising the followers.
Everyone knows that consistency is key; it's not what you do once, but what you do consistently that matters.
Everyone knows they need to be in action every day. But not everyone knows what to do each day.
On today's Podcast episode, I want to share with you my Fortune Four; the 4 daily tasks you need to do to Build Your Business - and freedom.
Plus - you can download the free PDF tracker to help at andrewlogan.net/fortune.
In today's Podcast episode I share a personal story that I rarely share.
It's an episode I've wanted to share for a long time, but because of how painful the lesson was, I always procrastinate and put off sharing it.
But today felt like the right day to share it - so here it is.
An incredible painful, but very important, lesson that I learned in my mid 20s - and how it ended up being a key factor in us building an incredible business and creating an amazing life.
New country openings are an exciting time in your business. A whole new market of people who haven't (yet) heard about your products or company.
And it can be very tempting to jump on a plane and spend a week prospecting every single person you meet.
But if you want to get better results, and a much better return on investment, there's a far better way to approach new openings.
I've often joked; if I had $1 for every time I was asked 'How do you I more leaders?' I'd have enough money to buy an island in the South Pacific.
And really the question needs to be asked differently.
Because it's not about 'finding' them, it's about:
- What can I do to have people want to follow me?
- What do I do once these people come to me? - because 'Leaders' don't 'Follow' systems or duplication.
In today's podcast, I want to talk about the main skill to focus on to allow more people to recognise you as the leader they want to follow - and how you can quickly identify who's a follower and who's a potential leader.
On today's Podcast, I wanted to share with you 3 simple mindset shifts that you can implement into your life to set yourself free.
Of course, simple doesn't mean 'easy' - there is always work involved in building a business and putting your money to work.
But if you can have these 3 rules set into your DNA, making them the forefront of every decision you make - you will be able to enjoy financial freedom.
One of the most important (and often overlooked) keys to creating more financial freedom is how reliable your income is.
It's not about how good your bonus cheques are.
Not what you're earning on a good week, but if you can live off your bad weeks.
The more reliable your income, the more freedom you can enjoy.
And a reliable income needs a reliable business, which requires reliable activities from reliable people.
And the one way to do that is to avoid chasing the latest trend - because they're simply just too unreliable.
'Anyone can do this business' - which is awesome.
But you don't want to be just 'anyone', you want to be a 'someone'.
And that means you need to separate yourself from the crowd when it comes to your business building skills.
And to do that, there's 1 key skill that you need to develop that is the difference between building an average business and building a great business.
Recognition and Social Media are incredible powerful tools in our business.
But they can also create comparison syndrome for a lot of people.
We see the posts on FB & IG of team members rank advancing and having huge weeks - and it can make us feel like a huge failure.
Sometimes, we can even want to quit.
On today's Podcast episode, I want to share an analogy I've always used for when people are struggling with comparison syndrome - and hope that it can help you too.
Winston Churchill famously said: Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.And it's very true - the path to success will never be a straight line.
There will be days where everything feels easy, along with days here you feel like a total failure.
And especially in Network Marketing - times where you can be making a lot of money and the teams buzzing, and then times where you're not sure if you can pay the utilities bill.
On todays Podcast, I'm joined by Erika Dale - and she shares the real and raw story of being in that exact situation above, from struggling, to finding to success, to hitting struggles again, to finding success again. She shares the mindsets and environmental tools she used to get back on top after all the life's challenges - and hopefully she can inspire you to get back in the game after you've been knocked down.

Attraction Marketing is an incredibly powerful, and popular, tool to use in building your business.
But it can also be very overwhelming for people:
What do I post?
How do I create content?
And a lot of the problems that people can face come from tackling the process in the wrong order. The How and What are simple, but first you need to know the Why.
Once you know the purpose of your posting, the reason why you're creating content, everything else becomes a lot simpler.
On today's episode, I take you through the 5 Steps Process to creating your Attraction Marketing system, so that you can increase you connections and find ideal customers for your business.
There are many ways to build your business - with the ATM (Add, Tag, Message) method being a particularly popular one.
In today's episode, I want to share our spin on the ATM method, the AWL system.
If you don't have a system yet, you can implement into your team immediately.
If you do have your own system, you can use this to tweak your approach and improve results.
Network Marketing is an incredible industry.
It allows people to come in and create incredible, life changing, results. There is truly no limit to the vision.
But if you want to turn your vision into a reality, there's one agreement you must make in order to get there.
Let's face facts - there will be many days that you feel like quitting.
We can all have the wall kicking moments, the frustrating messages, the challenging days.
And for a lot of people, they are waking up today one negative conversation away from quitting.
And then there's other people who seem to be so driven, so focussed, so locked in - and no matter what, they never quit.
So how do they do it?
What separates them from the rest of the pack?
Today, I share a simple exercise you can do to identify any potential weaknesses, become more well rounded and build your resilience - so you never quit.
AI trading bots are all the rage at the moment, and there's a lot of positives to be seen.
Having an automated system that can help you enter into the stock market - can be invaluable to the new investor.
But how do they actually work?
And not from a technical point of view - but from a money making POV.
Are they really the safe, reliable and smart investment that they're sold to be?
Everyone knows that consistency is the key; it’s not what you do once, but what you do consistently that really matters. The most successful people, in any industry, are those who are the most consistent.
Anyone can go to the gym and eat well one day, the healthiest people consistently work-out and eat well. Anyone can hit 1 good golf shot, the top players (and earners) hit consistently good golf shots.
And in this business – anyone can blitz for a week, even a month. But if you want to reach the top of your company (and stay there), it requires doing the work consistently.
I'm sure you already know this - but why do so many people still struggle with consistency, even when we know how important it is?
And often, we can be our our worst enemy, when we let one bad day turn into a bad week, into a bad month.
So today, I wanted to share the simple mantra I use to help avoid one bad day taking me off path and ruining my consistency.
Recently I did a Podcast episode talking about my Golden Rule of Investing - hopefully taking the fear and frustration out of getting started in the investment game.
Today I wanted to create a similar style episode, hopefully helping take out the overwhelm when it comes to content creation and marketing. Because, as we always know, an overwhelmed mind does nothing.
Take the overwhelm and frustration out by always focussing in on this 1 Golden Rule, make it the primary purpose of your daily activities, and you will see a change in your business.
Imagine you're driving home one day after a long day of work; you're tired, stressed out and frustrated.
And then, out of nowhere, a young kid in a bright red Ferrari cuts you off as he flies off the highway. You slam the breaks, smash the horn, yell obscenities out the window.
An hour later you're home, still rattled by the event.
And then the phone rings...
On today's Podcast, I share this story, as one of the most powerful business stories I ever learned - and how it can help you, and your partner & team, build a stronger and more successful business.
There are so many different ways to build your business - which is great.
But it can also be overwhelming.
Especially thanks to all the tools of Social Media these days - it can be daunting to start.
So daunting that some people will never get their business off the ground. An overwhelmed mind stands still.
With that in mind, today I wanted to talk about the 2 key ways to build your business - reverse engineering the process so you can cut the overwhelm and focus on the best way for you.
Plus - the 2 common mistakes that people can make that will definitely NOT work.

I truly believe that as human beings, we are natural born connectors.
It's totally natural, and 'normal' for a child to go up to another child in the park, introducing themselves and become great friends straight away. But then as we grow, that natural connection starts becoming unnatural. It starts becoming much harder.
And then we join NWM - and it can become very hard. Some find it easy, but most people can find it very challenging. And that can make business growth very hard. If connection is a struggle, your business will generally stall.
In our business, and in any business, connecting and networking is essential. It's the foundation of what we do; meeting people, connecting and then offering value and solutions for their challenges.
My wife Angie is someone who loves connecting. She is one of the Unicorns who can seem to make best friends so simply and easily. And so I've asked her to join me on the podcast this week, and share her top tips on connecting, and the simple ABC framework she uses.

Warren Buffet is probably the most successful and well known investor of our time.
He has amassed an incredible net worth, and helped many people do the same.
And when it all boils down, he states that it comes back to 2 Golden Rules:
- Don't lose money.
- Don't forget Rule Number 1.
And whilst he certainly knows more about investing than me, those two rules can give them impression that he only backs winners. That he has 100% record when it comes to investing. And that's not true.
And it's that fear of loss that holds a lot of people back from even starting investing. The mindset that you have to get 100% of your trades correct is overwhelming, stopping people from ever starting.
In today's Podcast episode, I want to give you a variation on Buffet's first rule - one that's more realistic, and more actionable.
Procrastination - we all do it, and then we realise what a bad idea it was.
It's something that prevents so many people growing their business, and it stops any momentum that we were hoping to create.
The more we procrastinate, the less we produce, the poorer the results we see - we end up spending more time to achieve less, and end up further from freedom than closer.
In todays episode, I wanted to look at 4 practical tips that you can institute into your business, and life, straight away and start seeing better results from your actions.
Goal setting is incredibly important when you're building your business.
And Network Marketing is a fantastic business for recognition, awards and rank advancements - which provide great goalposts for people to hit.
But if you want to truly grow your income and change your life - your vision can't be linked to ranks or awards.
We have the best vehicle around in the pursuit of financial freedom - but it's not about the car, it's about the desitation.
Many years ago I met a man who had climbed Mt Everest. And I remember him telling me about how, right before their final ascent, they were instructed to ruthlessly remove anything from their pack that they didn't need. To the point that he cut his toothbrush in half to save space and weight.
'You can't take everything with you to the top' were his words of advice.
In any growth journey, there will be things you need to leave behind:
Old beliefs
Old mindsets
Old friendships
If they're no longer serving you, you can't take them with you. And we need to create the room in our lives for newer mindsets, beliefs and relationships. Things that will propel us further rather than holding us back.
And in todays episode, I want to talk about one major thing that we must let go of if we're going to build a successful business.
Angie and I are regularly approached by people at events saying 'I wish my partner did this with me'.
Or they're asking 'What's the best way to get them interested?'
And my initial response is always 'Are you sure?'
Building your business with your partner is amazing, but it can also be incredibly challenging. The rewards are there, but it takes a lot of work.
Any cracks in your relationship will be magnified under the spotlight, which unfortunately can expose a lot of other problems for people.
So to tackle this elephant in the room head on, today I'm not only joined by Angie, but also by two great friends who have an incredible relationship, as well as having 7 figure success in their business.

You don't have to travel too far from your house to see how much more expensive everything is getting.
Fuel, food, electricity - the price of basically everything has gone up recently.
But whilst the Media is talking about Inflation non-stop, is it actually the real issue?
And more importantly, what can you do to avoid that sinking feeling getting worse each week.
Creating consistent content for our social media brand is an incredibly important part of our daily business activities.
But there can be days where just nothing is flowing naturally.
Our brains aren't in a creative space, or our social battery is low and we can't seem to produce anything.
And of course, that's totally normal.
We all need days where we 'switch off' and recharge.
So how do you avoid losing your consistency on the days you just don't feel it coming naturally?
Well I use a simple tactic each morning as part of my daily routine - to make sure I always have content ready and available no matter how much energy I have.
It's always incredible exciting when that new business builder joins.
They're full of energy and enthusiasm, and you want to be there encouraging them along to great success.
But there's one E word that's more important than the others above, and it's one of the biggest challenges people face in this industry.
Without it, they will quit - even if they're making money.
Funnels are a very popular and very powerful software.
The attraction to being able to put your business on auto-pilot and having a lot of the leg-work automated while you sleep is an awesome proposition.
So, can it actually be done?
Well the short answer is Yes, but there's a very large asterisk next to it.
It can be done, but it's definitely not as easy as people sell it as.
'Money doesn't buy happiness'.
'It won't solve my problems'
'I'd rather be happy than rich'.All very common money mindsets that people can hold onto.
And all very common money mindsets that will stop people reaching success.
Because a poor money mindset will act as a lid on your business; you won't be able to grow beyond the limitations in your mind.
Building financial skills and improving our money mindsets are the foundations of success - we have to get these in place first. Without the right skills and mindsets, no amount of money or success will be enough.

It's been a long time for many, but events are finally back!
More and more big company events are happening again - and there's nothing better than the feeling of a room full of people, all learning and growing together. Recognition, culture, community; it's the glue that holds your team together.
There's also a lot of learnings at events - incredible speakers sharing their tips and tricks, so you can have greater business success after. Culture and community are great - but we're paid thanks to the business skills we develop.
So with all the time and money you've invested into getting to the event, it's important to maximise the learnings. And using a simple mindset and intention, you can very easily multiple your learning, which can multiply your success.
Being able to build your own business from home - one that has unlimited income potential - is one the most exciting and incredible things about Network Marketing.
But there's also a cost of that freedom.
We pay that price through losing the certainty.
There's no ceiling on our income, but no floor either.
Which means we have to make sure we show up each day - and we're the ones that have to make sure of that. Not only are we our own boss, but also - most of the time - the only employee.
Making money is great - and it's easy to show people that you're having success. Very easy to find people who are making money and follow them too.
Creating wealth and freedom can seem harder to do.
Even harder still - how to show it?
Happiness and freedom isn't always as easy to show as money.
In today's podcast I want to look at this from a few points of view - ensuring that we're building our business for the right reasons and following advice from the right people.
At its core, marketing is pretty simple; find out what people want and then give that to them.
And this is where many Network Marketers can go wrong. Often we can get so caught up in what we love about our products / company - and forget that what really matters is what your prospect needs.
And that's where market research is so powerful. Being able to find out exactly what your market wants and then tailoring your offer to give that to them.
And by doing that, your success rate will drastically increase.
As much as I can, I try to keep things as simple as possible; because simple duplicates.
And when it comes to building your business and creating a residual income that can change your life - there can be a lot of noise and confusion. But if we zoom out and look at the fundamentals, it's quite a simple process.
Tactically things will always evolve, but the fundamental process of creating wealth and freedom through Network Marketing will never change from these 6 steps.
The main problem really occurs when people try to short-cut the process and rush the results. There's only 6 Steps, no need to try and do it in 3 - it won't last.
One of the hardest lessons to learn in business - is that, so often, we are our own worst enemy. We are the reason for many of our challenges.
It's a difficult conversation to have with ourselves, but also very liberating.
Once we take full stock of everything that's in our life, or not in our life - our energy totally transforms and our chances of success sky rocket.
And it's an energy change that I want to talk about on today's podcast. The energy that holds us back, and the change we can make to have the breakthrough.
There are so many different ways to share your story.
When it comes to connecting; some people do well on the phone, some people do well with zoom calls. Some do well with launch parties, others do well with coffee meet-ups. Some people do well with social media, others prefer text messages.
So which is the best way?
Which way will get the best results - helping you grow the strongest business?
On todays Podcast episode we look at the different ways to share your story - and how to find the most effective way.
It's really hard to win a game if you don't know the rules.
So if you want to win in your financial freedom goals - the very first step is knowing the rules of money.
Because once you know the rules, you're able to play the game at a much higher level.
And get to your end goals much faster.
Let's talk about the very first skill in building your Network Marketing Business - enrolling. Bringing people in, customers and distributors, and having them join the team. Without it - we can't even get off the ground.
And whilst some people love this aspect of the business, others can really struggle - unable to get anyone interested in what they're doing. No matter how many invites or offers you send out, not a single person shows any interest.
In today's episode, I want to explore why that can happen - and how a simple mindset & language shift can completely change the results that you're getting.
Financial markets can be incredibly confusing (often on purpose). There are advisors saying we've had the dip, time to buy - whilst others are forecasting doom and gloom.
But whatever market you're in - there's 3 things to consider before you make the decision on whether to buy or sell.
In todays episode, I take you through these 3 factors - making sure that your investment decisions are what's best for you, not what the market says.
Finding more leaders is one of the biggest goals, and challenges, for most Network Marketers.
What do I say to people, where do I find more people & how do I find leaders - the 3 most commonly asked questions in our industry.
But there's a big issue with answering the leadership question - namely that it's the wrong question to be asking. We shouldn't be asking 'How do I find more leaders?', we should be asking something totally different.
And if we answer that question, leaders will find us.
Creating vision boards is such a powerful process in your business. And a fun one too.
Sitting around with your team / friends / partners / kids and creating a visual representation of what you want and where you want to be - immensely powerful in keeping you on track and focussed.
But they don't always work.
And when they don't - people can feel frustrated and want to quit.
Today I want to talk about how to make sure that your vision board will work. How to ensure that what you put out there will come back to you.
A good mentor of mine always says 'The yes's built my business, the no's built my character'.
And whilst no's can help us develop a thicker skin - we'd still like to hear the word yes more often than not. Without the yes's, our team isn't growing.
If our team isn't growing - it's going to be either what we're saying, how often we're saying it, or who we're saying it to.
Today I want to focus on the 3rd section there, and take you through a simple question you can ask before you offer someone your solution - which will greatly improve your conversion rate.
Objections can hurt.
Especially when they're coming from close friends and family. People who you thought would be interested in your products and opportunity feel exactly the opposite.
They can stop us in our tracks, and take many people out of the game.
The negative comments and 'scam' remarks are enough to make many a budding Network Marketer feel like quitting.
But we can also flip objections around and use them for good. We can turn a negative response into one of the most powerful tools in our business.
On todays episode I want to take you through this process - and how you can turn any objection into a way to grow your business stronger.
When it comes to building our business, there's two things we can truly control:
What we say and how often we say it.
The quality and quantity of the story that we tell.
Our product story, our business story, our company story - whichever it is, our business is built on the quality and quantity of our story telling.
And with that, there's 3 keys to creating a powerful and impactful story.
Creating that vision of where you want to be is incredibly important. Figuring out your destination is the very first step in any journey.
Unfortunately, a lot of people struggle to get past the first step.
The vision is there, but there's no plan to put it into place.
Today I wanted to share a simple 6 Step System you can use to Bring that V.I.S.I.O.N to life.
No doubt you've noticed recently that the markets are in some trouble at the moment.
Volatility is right up, prices are down.
And with that there are people saying 'buy the dip' and others saying 'prepare for the worst'.
Today I look at 3 factors driving the market now (and in general) and how you can position yourself to not only survive, but thrive in your investing.
Facebook groups may have lost a little bit of their power recently - but they're still an incredible asset for your Network Marketing business - IF done properly.
When done well, there's really no limit to the number of highly qualified leads you can meet.
Done badly - you're kicked out and banned straight away.
People will join your team for a variety of reasons - whether it's purely for the products or to build a business. Whether they're coming in heavy or just there to support etc.
But at its core, there's 2 main reasons that people will join your team - both with their pros and cons.
And by knowing the good and the bad - you can help set people up for the best possible success based on their goals.
Also - 1 week to go before Boom in June starts.

Events are coming back!
After a long time away, we're able to start having bigger events - and there's nothing more powerful in growing your business than face to face events.
But they can also be overwhelming.
We know a LOT of people will attend an event and get excited, but never see changes in their business afterwards.
In todays episode, I want to share 3 strategies Angie and I have used over the past 10 years to truly maximise our results after an event - so that at the next event, we're ready to grow further.
Plus - don't miss EARLY BIRD ticket sales for my Boom in June Event - www.andrewlogan.net/boom.
Everyone knows the value in having multiple streams of income.
More legs on the table make it more stable, more rivers feeding the lake prevents a drought etc.
But there's something even more important to consider when creating extra income streams.
And it's something that's never talked about enough.
PLUS - A new way giveaway to help me say thank-you for your support.
I'm sure you've heard this comment before;
Either as an objection from someone, or a negative person trolling your post.
And in some ways it is true.
In some ways we can be our own worst enemy.
But more importantly - sometimes it's the best thing that can possibly happen.
And last night I was reminded exactly why it's so exciting when it does happen.
This weekend marks a big day for me - my 40th Birthday.
And as such, I wanted to have a big promotion to celebrate - and hopefully help you with your financial freedom journey too.

Today's episode is Part 2 of the Top Ten Lessons I've learned from my past 10 years in Network Marketing.
Yesterday marked the 10 year anniversary from when I first filled out a form and emailed it over to my friend (yes that's what we did in those days).
I hope these lessons serve you well in your journey.
Tomorrow marks 10 years since I joined the Network Marketing Industry - and what a ride it's been.
Angie and I have been able to completely change our lives - but not without some mistakes and lessons along the way.
Today's podcast is Part 1 of a 2 Part series, covering the Top 10 Lessons from the Past 10 years since we joined Network Marketing.
Hopefully these lessons can help you avoid some of the same mistakes we've made and reach your financial goals sooner.
Next week is a very special week for me - in a few ways.
Firstly, it's my 40th birthday.
Secondly, it's 10 years since I first joined this industry.
And over those 10 years I've learned a LOT. And I want to share my Top 10 Lessons over the coming episodes of the Podcast.
Today, as a prelude, I wanted to share the powerful mantra I've used to stay motivated and on track over the past 10 years.
Plus - keep an ear out for some huge announcements coming soon.
Sometimes it can take people a few test drives before they find the car that they love.
It can take a few jobs before they find their career.
A few different sports before they find the one they really enjoy.
And in the same way - sometimes people may need to trial a few companies before they find their home.
But there's a way to do it with authenticity and a way to do it with hype.
And the hype filled way is a very slippery slope that is hard to come back from.
Leadership is the key to moving from a good business to a great business.
A good leader can have a good business, a great leader will have a great business.
But how do you grow your own leadership?
Here are 2 key skills to work on to help turn your good business into a great life.
Yesterday I ran a live Time Management Mastery event on my FB page (if you like, you can watch the replay here - https://www.facebook.com/andrewjameslogan) and afterwards the biggest feedback I had from people was the 'Cake Recipe' for Time Management - and how it was the major lightbulb moment for them.
So I wanted to share it on the podcast today for you.
Time management is another favourite topic of mine - because there's no freedom if you are forever busy and overwhelmed. Making money is great - but if it's through stress and overwhelm, I may as well just stay in my job.
Today I share a 70 year principle that you can implement into your life and see massive changes.
Goal setting is a favourite topic of mine.
Goals are powerful - internally driving us to growth, and externally showing others our own dedication and drive.
But they can also be a source of frustration for people - feeling like a 'failure' when they don't reach the goals that they've set.
Personally - the journey is the key. Hitting the goal is a bonus.
But either way - there's 1 massive challenge that everyone will hit when they sit a new goal - and it takes most people out of the game, almost before they even start.
The incredible Mandy Vermaak joins me today - sharing her story of years of struggle before an incredible year of growth and leadership development - enrolling over 50 distributors into her team in the past 6 months.
You may or may not have heard, but 2 weeks ago, the USA Yield Curve inverted - which means that interest rates on short-term money are now higher than long-term money.
And it's kind of a big deal.
Why?
Well, like any indicator, it doesn't say anything for certain - but it certainly suggests many things. Mainly - that almost every time the yield curve inverts, a recession has followed 12-18 months later.
But nerdy mathematics formulae aside - what does it actually mean for your own financial future?
What can you do to prepare - and even prosper - in these challenging times?
I'm sure you've heard it from me before - whether on the podcast, on my videos, in my book - that we don't sell products, we sell solutions to people's problems.
The old marketing analogy that you don't buy a bed, you buy a good nights sleep etc.
But it's actually even deeper than that. There's something even more powerful that we sell - in every conversation we're having.
And if you can focus on that, your future will be totally different.
Words are so powerful; what we say to people - and what we say to ourselves - will go a long way to determining the results that we achieve.
Today - I want to share 2 simple, but very powerful, words that will help you massively increase your success.
We're all guilty of procrastinating in our life; from the little things to the very big things.
Whilst I was at University - procrastination was almost an art form that we took pride in.
But the reality always hits later when you realise you've shot yourself in the foot.
Today I want to share a simple mindset / language shift to help you stop procrastinating and, in turn, help you achieve more each day.
Everyone knows why they need to have a Social Media Brand.
But not everyone knows how to find their brand.
If we want to stand out in a crowded social media landscape, we need a crystal clear brand.
And whilst it can seem overwhelming to find your brand - there's a very simple exercise you can do to find it.
Plus - I want to share the story of how I found my social media brand. It's a story I've never shared publicly before.
Building belief in ourselves, and helping others build belief - is the foundation to success in Network Marketing.
If you don't believe in yourself - it's pretty hard to have others believe in you.
But when you believe - you're believable, and people will buy into your vision.
Building belief isn't a switch you can just flick from off to on - it's a slow process at times. But there are ways to short-cut it.
The incredible Darin Kidd joins as a guest on the podcast today.
Darin has had decades of success in Network Marketing, franchising, business and coaching - and he shares his top tips for creating the vision for success, attaching it to your financial goals and creating the habits you need for success.
His energy, enthusiasm and knowledge on the subject is infectious - bring a pen and paper as you'll be taking plenty of notes.

Have you ever had something in your life that's annoying - but it's just not quite annoying enough to change?
Pretty much most things, most days right.
Every day with live with annoyances or discomforts, but they're not quite painful enough to have us actually change anything.
Like The Parable of the Whimpering Dog.
Taking that the next step - are you offering people something that's good, but not great? Are you offering to help with discomfort, but not actually remove a pain in their life?
I like to call our newest Generation - Generation S - the Side Hustlers.
These days it seems like everyone is side-hustling.
It's more popular and more accepted.
It also means more people are feeling overwhelmed at the best options for them. And they can find themselves lost in the forest, wondering which vehicle is best for them.
Regardless of which vehicle you choose - there are 2 skills that you must master if you wish to have long-term success.
Failure is a great teacher.
Not the most gentle teacher - but definitely one of the best teachers on the pathway to success.
But for many, the fear of failure can hold them back from starting.
But when you really look at failure - there's no reason it shouldn't hold you back from starting.
Like leadership, time management is an incredibly important key to success.
Your business will grow (or regress) to level of your time management skills.
But rather than focussing on time management as a strategy, I prefer to look at improving focus.
Because really - it's impossible to change time. But we can change how productive we are in the time that we have.
Leadership is always a popular topic.
How do I grow my own leadership - and help others do the same?
In this episode, I want to cover the WHY that comes before the HOW.
Why is leadership so incredibly important?
And then HOW do you level up your leadership?
For 99.9% of people - investing is about buying a better future.
More time, freedom, choice or money for us and our future generations.
So how can we ensure that the time and money we're investing today will be successful in the future?
Today, I cover the 3 things we can focus on to increase our investment success.
In todays episode, I want to share two powerful tweaks we can make to what we say - that will help you drastically improve both your happiness, and your results.
How we talk to each other is very powerful.
But nothing is more powerful than how we speak to ourselves.
Growing up I LOVED playing Monopoly - and whilst my strategy was incredible simple and (to me) obvious - I would comfortably win almost every time I played.
My guest today Robert Hollis has the same strategy. He used it as a kid, and now he's using it in real life too.
And not only has he been able to create an amazing level of freedom for himself and others, but he's also now able to give 80% of his income away to charities close to his heart.
His story is powerful - and I can't wait to share it with you.
You can follow him on Facebook at Robert Hollis, on Instagram @roberthollissr and www.roberthollis.com
I can't actually believe it's taken me 101 episodes to answer this questions - it's one of THE MOST commonly asked questions I get.
And while there's 2 main schools of thought, I have 2 ideas on it that are quite different to most.
And so I wanted to share them with you today.
Celebrating our 100th Episode!!!
And as part of the celebration, I wanted to bring back Phil Better - who was one of our most popular guests - to talk about the power of automation.
The extra work at the front can seem onerous, but the time you save at the end is invaluable.
And that extra time can be used to drive your goals further, or spend them with the people you love.
Finding and mentoring leaders for our business is one of the hottest topics at every event and training I've ever attended.
It's an incredible feeling to have someone come in with excitement and energy and help you take your business to the next level.
But it's also a challenge for a lot of people.
And it can be frustrating when people show a lot of promise but never quite deliver.
Today I wanted to focus on this challenge - and the mindset shift I needed to make that helped us attract incredible leaders into our business and take things to the next level.
Building a business - and our dream life - with Angie is one of the best parts of each day.
But it's not without challenges.
And it's always imperative to ensure that business and personal challenges are kept separate - so that one isn't affecting the other.
Brandon Cunnigham joins me today to discuss the strategies he and his wife Lynette use, and some of the challenges they've had, in building businesses together over the past 30 years.
He also drops some gold nuggets on wealth creation and net worth that you won't want to miss.
You can follow him @brandonlcunnigham.
Social media tactics are always changing.
New platforms, new features, algorithm changes - it can be a full time job keeping up with it all.
But the fundamentals of marketing will never change - online of offline.
Today I wanted to share the fundamentals of Building Your Business on Social Media - fundamentals that will serve you and your business forever.
In todays episode, I want to share with you an incredibly simple but powerful rule that I use to reduce the drama and distractions from my life - freeing up my time and focus for the important things in life.
Hope to see you on our Breakthrough 2022 LIVE event - details at http://andrewlogan.net/breakthrough
Have you ever heard the saying - I'd rather have ignorance on fire than knowledge on ice?
A saying that gets thrown around a lot in the Network Marketing industry. And if you subscribe to it - then you would say that skills are more important than mindsets.
But then there's just as many people who would say that without goals / vision - there's no drive to do the work; suggesting that mindset is primary, skillsets are secondary.
So which one is it?
Which is more important?
And which should you prioritise?
In todays episode, I want to introduce you to the simple but powerful concept of NET time - and how you can use it to achieve more in your day - and actually reduce the overwhelm too.
Also - for access to our Breakthrough 2022 Live event - head to andrewlogan.net/breakthrough
'The enemy of a great life is a good life' - one of my favourite quotes.
So often, people start down a path to financial freedom, but aren't able to progress past financial security. The relative comfort of a good life prevents the extra growth into a great life.
Similarly, there's a 3 step process to creating mastery and living a great life, but too often we can hit a hurdle after Step 2.
On today's episode I look at the 3 steps required to create mastery - in any goal - and how you can leverage that into a great life.
One of the very first, and most essential, steps in creating financial freedom - is having a crystal clear goal in place.
What does freedom mean to you? And how much it will cost?
From there, we want to start creating a plan.
And that's what I want to help you with today.
Setting our financial goal and marrying it with the correct expectations and mindsets.
I shared this principle recently in our Way Out Community Facebook group and wanted to share it in here as well, diving into things even deeper.
(If you're not in the group, you are welcome to join here).
Whatever vehicle we're using - Affiliate Marketing, Network Marketing, Social Retail, Sales etc - there's one primary question that we must answer in our customers head before they're going to buy.
And if we can answer it - our results will improve 10x.
What is it? Well it has to do with a little known radio station called WII-FM.
Building your business and then putting that money to work - is the the simplest path to financial freedom.
Taking your extra cash and putting it into the markets and letting it grow - is how we create wealth and a lasting legacy.
However, it's not without risk.
Things can go wrong.
And there's one thing in particular that can go wrong and ruin a persons chance of having success.
And it's probably not what you think.
We all know the statistics;
Most people quit on their New Years resolutions.
Most people bail on the gym.
Most people lose money in investing.
No one makes money doing network marketing.
But it's rarely, if ever, about the vehicle.
It's about the person.
And there's 2 things that stop most people having success.
'Is this a good investment?'
'Is it worth that much?'
'Would you buy it?'
Questions I am asked regularly from friends looking to start investing.
All essentially based around the challenge of knowing how to value an investment.
So today, I wanted to answer that question for you.
On today's episode, I share 4 of the most impactful books I've read over the past 20 years.
The lessons learned from them and the pathways they opened up - along with some other options of similar books with similar messages.
On today's podcast, I talk about 2 powerful business lessons we can learn from Hollywood and the Silver Screen.
Overwhelm can be a huge struggle for people in their business build - but if you focus on nothing else but these 2 lessons; the path will become clearer and your business will grow.
Great to be back in the podcast studio for 2022!
In our first episode of the year, I wanted to take the opportunity to share more of our story from the very early days - and the big lessons that shaped our lives. From my very first dreams of financial freedom to our first foray down the path of Network Marketing.
Along with sharing some cool new promotions coming to help build this podcast over the coming 12 months.
As we come into the final days of 2021, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for supporting this podcast.
This was a big goal for me this year - and I'd love to hear the goals you ticked this year too.
Wishing you a safe and happy Christmas holiday, and of course, a successful 2022 ahead.
Andrew
As we wind up 2021, it's a perfect time to reflect on the positives and learn from the negatives.
And as we turn the page into the new year - also a perfect time to start planning for 2022.
But when it comes to goal setting, most people won't succeed.
Most people will give up or quit long before they reach their goals.
So today I wanted to deliver 5 tips I use when I'm setting goals to increase my chances of success.
Creating financial freedom is, at its very core, a 2 step process.
- Learn how to make money.
- Learn how to have your money make money.
From here, it's a matter or repetition, until.
And whilst showing people the money is always exciting, the true freedom comes in the second half of the conversation.
Michael Bernoff joins me today to discuss this exact process; how someone can turn a $300 a week side-hustle into complete freedom - through a handful of habits, mindsets and disciplines.
Michael is an incredible author, speaker and trainer - and someone I am honoured to call a colleague and friend in this arena.

Overwhelm is a huge challenge for many people.
And it's especially relevant during the holidays.
Today, I look at 5 strategies you can use to help overcome the overwhelm - both now and into next year.
Last weekend saw a flash crash in the crypto markets - which at it's nadir, had wiped almost $1 trillion out of the markets.
Similar crashes have happened around other markets recently too.
So is now the time to buy the dip? Pick up some bargains and improve your portfolio?
Or is it time to take your profits off the table?
Watching market waves is one way to figure out your approach - but an eagle eyed view of something bigger than the market waves is where the real answers lie.
Instagram Reels are really big right now.
And Instagram is heavily rewarding people who are using it consistently.
Personally, I'm no Social Media expert , I'm still learning every day - so I've invited a friend on to help guide you through how to maximise your social media reach and build your brand with Reels.
Alisha Fernandez joins the podcast today (for her second time) - sharing her incredible wisdom and experience.

When it comes to investing - most people's focus is; 'so how do I make money?'
And there's a lot tools and systems to help with this.
But it's really only 1/3 of the story.
There's 2 other sides of the coin that you must understand to have investment success.
In a crowded marketplace, there's nothing worse than getting lost in the 'sea of sameness'.
Which is why having crystal clear clarity and certainty around your personal brand is an essential part of your marketing success.
Josh Zepess joins me today to help you match your own personal experience, passion and genius with your product and company - so that you stand out from the crowd.

Today I share 2 simple templates you can use to help answer question 'So what do you do?' - and at the same time, find out if they're open to learning more.
Remember MySpace?
You may be too young to remember - but at one point 12 years ago, it was the single biggest networking site in the world.
And then all of a sudden it wasn't.
And in it's rapid growth, and subsequent crash - are some clues about the future of cryptocurrency, and where it's best to invest.
The journey of business ownership isn't without it's challenging days.
And there can be many days where your frustrations might turn into thoughts of quitting.
But it's in those frustrations where we can pivot and create freedom.
Peter Mohr joins me today to discuss his 4 P Model for business growth.

As we approach the middle of November, life can start to get very buys.
Thanksgivings, Christmas, School Holidays, New Years.. the list goes on...
And it can be a very distracting time - which can mean it's also a very tough time for people in their business build.
Today, I wanted to look at 3 main strategies to help you continue to grow your business - despite the distractions of the season.
Having a supportive team and environment around you is essential for success.
Possible none more important than the support of your partner / spouse.
An unsupportive spouse can cause a lot of challenges for people.
And to help with those roadblocks - the incredible Mel Fernandez joins me today to talk about creating a relationship of success with your partner.
You can follow her @themelfernandez or check out her 'Rediscover You' podcast.
We are living in unprecedented times.
New technologies, markets, platforms, products.
There are opportunities to make money everywhere.
Which also means there are a LOT of people selling 'how to make money'.
So how do you know who's giving you the tools and who's spruiking hype?
There's 3 questions I'm asking in my head every day.
There's no denying that inflation is rising.
And while we're being told that it's 'transitionary' - the reality is that for the average consumer, our back pockets are being hit hard with costs rising across the board.
And whilst inflation isn't necessarily a bad thing - it is an expensive thing for many.
But you can adjust areas of your life to reduce the impact of inflation. Even potentially gain from it.
Do you struggle with identifying your personal brand?
Having clarity on our passion - and how that aligns with what we sell?
In a world of Side Hustles and Entrepreneurship - it's easy to lose ourselves in the noise of a crowded marketplace.
Josh Zepess - the Identity Archaeologist - joins me on the podcast today, discussing the 3 C's of Identifying Your Brand, so that people will want to follow you and buy into what you represent.

How many times have you asked - Why isn't this taught at school?
Or conversely, how many times has your child asked - Why do I need to learn Algebra?
Mark Herschberg joins me today to talk about the essential skills that are being missed in our school and University system - and how you can improve on them yourself.

Investing is both the easiest thing in the world to do and the hardest thing in the world to do.
On paper, it looks so simple.
So obvious.
So lucrative.
But there's 2 major E's that stand in the way between a successful investor and a broke liar.
The first one is pretty obvious - no sales.
But the second one is certainly not what you think.
And it's something people are constantly chasing - despite it being the downfall of so many.
Everyone's favourite Ninja joins the podcast again - sharing his 3 Step System to Launching a New Associate on Social Media.
Frazer is an incredible trainer and a close friend and mentor.
I'm sure you will get incredible value out of what he shares today.
Moving out of a job and into running your own business is the dream of most aspiring entrepreneurs.
But simply joining a business doesn't mean that you have a business.
And most people struggle in their business build - because they don't quite understand how the difference between having a job and running a business.
And there's one major mindset shift we need to make if we're going to be successful.
It's no secret that the statistics aren't great when it comes to achieving financial freedom.
Really, whatever vehicle you choose, the odds of retiring young with great passive / residual income is pretty low.
And whilst there's a few reasons for this, to me - there's 1 reason that stands above most.
Let's face it - some days it's tough.
Some days it's lonely.
Some days it's boring.
And some days we all feel like quitting.
But before you do - you need to ask yourself this one simple question.
When it comes to Network Marketing - the most important, and fundamental, skill is Networking.
And alongside this - the two biggest objections you will face with potential business builders:
I don't know enough people.
I don't know what to say.
Both of them coming back to the skill of Networking.
Master Networker Rob Sperry joins me on the podcast today, sharing his Top Tips for Mastering the Game of Networking.
Stocks have never been stronger.
Property has never been better.
Currencies are booming left, right and centre.
Bullish sentiment has never been higher.
But....
Does that also mean we're hurtling towards an enormous crash?
And if so - what can you do about it?
I'm sure you've all heard the saying:
'Treat this like a business and it will pay you like a business'.
Sounds great.
People scream it from stage.
But do you actually know what it means? Do you know how to treat this like a business?
There's a lot of ways to look at it, one way in particular that I want to talk about today.
Do you often talk about good habits and bad habits?
Or inspiring your team by telling them to never quit?
What if these beliefs were actually wrong - and the exact reason that you're not finding success?
Speaker, coach, mentor and all round great guy Michael Bernoff joins the call today - sharing the mindset trips, language and conversations that have made him tens of millions of dollars.
And the simple changes you can make to achieve the same.
You can find him at www.michaelbernoff.com
Finishing up our Investing 101 Series with (my personal favourite) the Property Market.
Property investing is said to be 'as safe as houses'.
But that doesn't mean it's always profitable.
And there's a lot of different ways to look at property - depending on your goals.
Today, I go through the different property investing options - and what may be the best bet for you.
Consistency is an oft used word in business building speeches; consistent posting, conversations, offers, branding etc.
But on the flip-side - when people's businesses are consistent, they can also be frustrated. A consistent business can be labeled as a 'stuck' business. And stuck sounds much more negative.
Flipping the mindset on stuck vs consistent is one thing - but there's an even bigger advantage of a consistent business when it comes to financial freedom. A VERY BIG advantage.
The Stock Market - buy low, sell high - pretty simple right?
And mathematically, the stock market can be seen as the easiest place to make money.
But emotionally, it can also be the very hardest.
Because market waves can affect your back pocket in ways you've never imagined - and the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay patient, or solvent.
Join us today as we look through the pros and cons of the stock market - and how you can use it as a vehicle to change your life.
Everyone knows the 'game changed' when Social Media came along.
Whilst it's not quite the magic pill that some have hyped - it's certainly an incredibly powerful tool to help create more leverage in your business.
But with more people comes more competition. It feels like every man, woman and their dog is trying to build a social media business these days.
So how do you create your Social Media brand and help yourself stand out from the crowd?
Moving from the currency markets of last week - today I want to talk about the commodities markets. From Crude Oil to Gold to Pot Belly Pigs.
The commodities market offers a busy and bustling marketplace - along with some places to store your wealth for the future.
So is it an option for you?
Let's look at it.
Network Marketing is an amazing business; one that allows us to dream bigger.
But sometimes as well - that dream can be overwhelming.
Creating the vision can be exciting and fun. Then we need to take it another step and turn it into a reality.
The amazing Jen McCann joins me today - sharing how she and her husband turned their dreams of a different life with the kids into a reality, along with sharing a sneak peak of a new project we're working on together.
Crypto currencies are THE next big thing - without a doubt.
But does that make them a good investment?
How do they actually work? Especially when we compare to standard / fiat currencies.
Today I want to delve into these topics and provide a 101 look at the different currency markets, and how you can (potentially) benefit from them.
Being able to spend more time with your children is a strong driver for many people.
But they can also create a challenge at times - especially when it comes to taking up a lot of your time.
Today my wife joins the podcast, sharing some of the tips we used to help navigate the challenges of children.
Freedom is an exciting word. A visceral word.
It brings out dreams and emotions.
It's also very subjective. We all have our own definitions on what a freedom life would be.
It means different things to different people.
And that can make it hard to define. Which can make it hard to achieve.
So to live a life of freedom - we need to be able to define what that means, and even more importantly, how much it will cost.
Because freedom isn't free.
Over the coming episodes, I want to do a series of Investing 101 podcasts - helping give you introductory, apples to apples information on the different investing vehicles that are out there.
Today - I will be introducing the series with the most fundamental, and important, definition of all - an asset vs a liability.
Knowing the difference between the two is the key to financial freedom vs financial struggle.
The incredible Rob Sperry joins me on the podcast today. Discussing how:
'No' can often often be the most powerful word in success.
Your network + skills = net worth.
How to stay connected in this challenging / disconnected world.

Everyone knows the old saying - if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.
Whether it's a business plan, work out plan or meal plan - having a plan in place BEFORE you start is integral to success.
And it's the same with having a financial plan. We have to have a plan in place for each pay cheque that comes through. Otherwise it's very easy to fall into someone else's plan.
There is no greater journey than business ownership; entering the entrepreneurial path and taking control of your life.
But - it's also a time when people can get so caught up in the end game, that they forget to do any actual work.
And being your own boss is great, but it also means you have to be your own employee. Which means we have to show up and do the work - even if we don't want to.
Today, I discuss the 3 things you need to do to make sure you don't start as an Entrepreneur and end up a Wantrepreneur.
Property investing is a popular vehicle; and it's generally sold as a safe asset too.
'It's as safe as houses' as they say.
But the stats tell a very different story.
In fact, 95% of property investors won't be able to create freedom. And if anything, their investment takes them further away than closer.
So if 95% of people are doing things one way, and failing - why not go the other way...
The simplest way to Financial Freedom is having more assets in our life. Building, creating or buying assets allows you to have more income, with less work.
A fairly simple formula.
The key - finding the right asset to work for you. Whether it's property, business, stocks, commodities etc - find your vehicle and get to work.
But there's one asset that's more valuable than all of the others. And once you understand its value - you will be unstoppable.
Think about your favourite football team. You've got all these people trying to make it, all these people buying the gear, all these people paying to get in - but only a few people actually making money... kind of looks like one of those things...
People love to slander the Network Marketing industry - claiming that only a few people ever make any money. But in any industry - there will always be the select few that make the real money. Even your favourite sporting team.
But what lessons can we learn from this to help grow our own financial freedom path? Because if you look really carefully, there's 1 person on the team that holds the key.
Whether you're looking at investing, business or entrepreneurship - there's 3 Key Ingredients to reaching your goals.
All 3 together - and you're unstoppable.
Missing any ingredient - and you can end up a hot mess.
Wealth, freedom, legacy - all words synonymous with a great life. But unfortunately, many people struggle to make the step from a good life into a great life.
Often the enemy of a great life is the comfort of a good life.
In today's episode, I share a simple mindset hack to help you turn your good life into a great life.
Whether it's the stock market, our business, or ourselves - for many, the costs of investing are a major reason that we don't.
But have you ever actually looked at it from the other side? And looked at how much it's costing you every day to NOT invest?
It's pretty scary.
Leverage is an incredible powerful tool when you're chasing Financial Freedom. The ability to have more time, money and freedom in your life - really comes down to your ability to understand and use Leverage.
BUT - our greatest strength is also our biggest potential weakness. And whilst Leverage has many benefits, if you don't understand it, it can take the shirt right off your back.
TikTok and Instagram Reels are the hottest traffic source right now.
So can you use that to build your business? Especially if you can't dance.
Industry legend Ray Higdon joins the call today - sharing the lessons he's learned from creating a video a day for 12 straight years, along with his simple ILT formula that you can use to create your own videos.

'Put you money in different sectors - that's the best way to protect yourself from a crash'.
Have you ever heard that one before?
Like many old many mantras - it's the WORST advice you could give someone, especially in the current money markets.
If you're looking to start investing, diversification is the best way to go broke.
Does it ever feel like just as you get some momentum, just as things are starting to get on track - a curve-ball gets thrown and knocks you back to Square 1?
Challenges will come up constantly along our journey - the key is turning these tests into your testimony.
Today I wanted to share a simple 2 Step Guide that I created a few years ago to ensure that our investments weren't just successful, but also stress free.
If you're on the fence with investing, or feeling overwhelmed at the start line - this formula will help you find the correct investment for you.
One of my closest mentors and friends - David TS Wood - joins me today, sharing his story from a life of poverty and struggle, to complete financial freedom. The steps he took to re-write his own money story and the simple equation you can use as well to improve your money mindset.

20 years ago, I first started looking for a Way Out - I definitely didn't think I'd end up in Network Marketing. But sure enough - I found the best kept secret on the path to financial freedom - Leverage.
But despite that - we still struggle as an industry; with a lot of myths and misconceptions out there in society. So what's true and what's false? Can you actually achieve financial freedom in Network Marketing?
Here are 5 absolute truths I've learned over the last 9 years.
Have you ever caught yourself saying:
'I want to invest, I just don't have the money yet'
'I want to get to the gym, I just don't have the energy yet'
'I want to build a business, I just don't have the time right now'.
But if you never invest, how will you get more money?
If you never get to the gym, when will you get the energy?
If you never build a business, when will you get more freedom?
In today's show, I share a simple 3 step approach to help turn your reason why not into your reason why.
Do you ever feel that earning more money would be greedy? Making more money means that someone else is missing out? Or that the only way to win is if someone else is losing?
In the olden days - that may have been right. But with the new rules of money - those old money beliefs are no longer serving you.
Building a business and chasing freedom can be overwhelming at times. With so many things going on, we can often lose the forest for the trees.
Whether it's a healthier body, a bigger business or a better bank balance - there's 3 C words that are fundamental to success.
Focus on these, and pretty much everything else will fall into place.
It's often said - Network Marketing is a Personal Development journey, with a compensation plan attached'. And 'we can only grow our wealth to the extent that we grow ourselves'.
Personal development is a massive part of growth and change - and there's so many positives to it. But it can also involve challenges; peeling off the layers and moving on from some old beliefs.
The amazing Alisha Fernandez joins me today to talk about her personal development journey - and the resultant changes to her life.
Check her out @alishafernandez.
Have you ever looked at a Top 100 earners list - and wondered how they got there? Or does it seem so far fetched that it's not even possible.
Well if it's been done, then it can be learned. And by watching how the rich and wealthy made their money, we can create our own wealth too.
Entrepreneurship can be packed with excitement - but it can also be a struggle.
And at times, a very lonely struggle.

This past week has seen some increased volatility in the Cryptocurrency world. An initial plummet after China's announcement and a tweet from Elon, along with a fast rebound this morning - after another tweet from Elon.
So is this just a blip in the radar? Or the beginning of the end?
Unfortunately, negative people are out there. The second you start working towards improving your life - negative people will show up. Whether they're saying it to your face, behind your back, or spamming your social media posts - their negative energy can take people out of the game.
In today's podcast, I want to share 3 tips and strategies you can use to help deal with the haters and make sure you stay in the game - so that you have success.
Technology is always changing.
Society is always moving.
Social Media is always evolving.
But also, the more things change, the more they stay the same. And when it comes to entrepreneurship, some things will never change.
Matt Riddell joins the podcast today, sharing 20 years of experience in the world of entrepreneurship .
The second we step out onto the entrepreneurial path - things will happen. People will be negative, we will have failures, our belief will waiver - basically the Universe will try and kick us in the teeth.
Today, I want to give you a simple exercise you can do to help you dig deeper into your motivations, dig deeper into your emotions - and help you become more resilient. The more resilient you are, the less likely you are to quit - which means the more likely you are to have success.
Remember the old saying 'Cash is King'?
Or the even older 'Golden Rule' - 'Whoever has the most gold makes the rules?'
They're both old money mindsets that no longer work in todays society. No longer fit with modern financial rules.
But if Cash is no longer King - what's replacing it?
Everyone knows that Investing is the path to Financial Freedom. But sometimes that's easier said than done.
With so many investment options out there - which is the best? If you've never invested before - where should you start?
Podcast Mogul, and host of the Invest in Yourself Podcast Phil Better joins me today to talk about investing, and how it has changed his life.
Let's face it - entrepreneurship, business building, investing - they can all be challenging and lonely paths at times. There will be mistakes and doubters - and days you want to quit.
But there's a difference between a challenge for our growth, and overwhelm that takes us out of the game. And to help avoid the frustration and burn-out, there's 3 things you need to check in on to make sure you're on the right path.
Hypothetical question;
You're about to start a restaurant. What is THE SINGLE MOST important factor in your success? Is it:
Great food?
Good prices?
Award winning chefs?
First class service?
Amazing location?
Ambience?
Answer - none of these. It's something completely different. And it's the single most important thing to ask BEFORE you start your entrepreneurial journey.
Wall Street is home to many sayings - a lesser known one is along the lines of;
'Wall Street is where educated people take money from uneducated people'.
Essentially - if you can't see a fool in the deal - then it's you.
Investing is a topic I love to talk about, and there are so many options out there for people. The challenge - there are so many options out there, which one is best?
There is no best. There is no 'perfect' investment. But there will be the perfect investment for you. It's just a matter of finding the investment vehicle that best suits your goals.
Which is why you have to answer these three questions before investing a single dollar into anything.
Would you like to know how to close 400% more sales in your business?
The average sales person closes around 20% of their sales - because they only know how to communicate with 1 language. Great sales people learn to speak multiple sales languages - increasing their ability to communicate value to the customer - which drastically increases their results.
Author and Speaker Woody Woodward joins me today, discussing the 5 D.R.I.V.E languages of sales, and how you can use a simple 3 question formula to increase your sales by 400%.
You can follow him on Facebook at Woody Woodward, and www.DriveSalesBook.com
Does the S word make you feel uncomfortable?
You don't want to 'sell' to your friends? Or the people you're speaking to don't want to 'sell'.
It's a common challenge for people - generally going back to old, deep-seeded beliefs around sales as a tactic and money beliefs.
In today's episode, I discuss how to look at sales as a win:win, how to shift your own thoughts on money and how to understand that at the end of the day - we all sell. Just only a few of us admit to it.
They say that money doesn't grow on tress - but then why do banks have branches...
But the truth is - if you have good seeds, and some patience, you can grow a money tree that will feed you and your family - forever.
Author, podcaster, 7 figure investor and good friend Lloyd J. Ross joins me to share how you can plant your own money tree and turn it into a long-term harvest.

Are you struggling with an unsupportive spouse?
Well, 8 years ago so was I.
Angie is my wife, my best-friend and my business partner now. But when I first started in Network Marketing - she was far from supportive.
Thankfully when I changed one thing, she flipped from negative to positive, and our business took off.
In today's podcast, Angie joins me to discuss the mistakes and challenges we went through, along with 4 tips to help if you struggle with the same challenges.

Stop me if any of these sound familiar:
I don't really care about money.
Money can't buy me happiness.
Money is the root of all evil.
Money won't solve problems.
Wanting money is greedy.
Chances are you have probably heard all 5 - every single day. Either in your head, or from the mouths of people around you.
The problem is, they're all wrong. They're all old beliefs based on old principles - and in our modern world - they're holding you back from reaching your goals.

Everywhere you look - someone has 'cracked the code for financial freedom'.
But don't be fooled - because financial freedom has nothing to do with how much money your side hustle is making. It's not about how much money is in your bank account - it's about how long it stays there.
Whilst most of it is (I'm sure) meant with good intentions - there's also people selling a lie.
We all face fears in our life. The fear of rejection, the fear of judgement, the fear of failure - even the fear of success.
It's how you react when facing fear that separates the pack.
Join Andrew Logan as he discusses some of the major fears he's had in his life and along his business build, along with the strategy he uses to keep going - despite fear.
