Today’s show is a bit different… This episode is related to some news that very recently became public that Beautycounter, a respected and admired company in our space for many years, is shutting down. The reaction to this news that I’ve been made aware of has made me think of something that I absolutely hate about this profession, and that is the negativity in times like this and how certain individuals prey on the challenges and struggles of others. I was so fired up about this that I just did an Instagram Live about it, and I’m sharing the audio from that broadcast right here for you to tune into in case you missed it. Whether you’re a Beautycounter Brand Advocate or just somebody in this profession who wants to elevate the way you do business, this is an important episode. I hope this provides some clarity for you during difficult times, as I shine the light on the dark side of our industry. Listen to Learn 7:54 - What normally happens when news like this is announced and how I feel about this type of reaction 10:31 - A critical choice that we must make when we are going through challenging times  13:56 - Exciting details on our brand-new workshop, Transformed!  14:58 - Our own personal adversity that we faced as a company last year and the lessons I learned from experiencing it  18:10 - A simple question for you if you are going through tough times right now   Are you tired of all the transactional strategies being taught today?

422: My Thoughts on the Beautycounter Situation

There’s a belief I’m seeing in our industry that team building is dead in 2024, and some companies are promoting the idea that you can still make money without building a team… but is this true?!  In this episode, I want to keep it real and share why team building is not dead. Not only that, but there is most likely a greater opportunity for you to build a team today than there has ever been. However, in order for you to take advantage of it you have to step up your mindset and your skill set. If you do, you can put your business in a position to win BIG time, and it is my intention that this episode will provide you with the direction and support to do just that! Listen to Learn 1:20 - Where the belief that team building is dead is coming from and the role that the pandemic played in it 2:49 - What really separates the growing and successful businesses in our industry from the rest  5:10 - Why I believe so strongly that the opportunity that exists today is so much greater than ever before  8:28 - Exciting details on our brand-new workshop, Transformed!  10:42 - The real price of joining a business, what your prospects will be evaluating, and how it’s about so much more than just money to them  12:54 - The three primary fears people have that will stack up the perceived price for them  15:35 - A challenge and an opportunity you have to uplevel your mindset and the systems you have in place when new people join your business  Are you tired of all the transactional strategies being taught today?

420: How Dejai Made an Extra $1k in Just 30 Days

How does recruiting 20 people into your business in just 30 days sound to you? It might sound attractive at first, but today I’m going to get a little spicy and share why I actually think this is NOT a good idea. Then, I’ll give my take on how to approach selling in your business.
