Ever feel like you're working ALL the hours, creating endless content, and spinning your wheels but still stuck in the same place? Rachel gets brutally honest about the ONE thing that's actually holding you back in your network marketing business (spoiler: it's not your company, your team, or the economy). In this no-fluff episode, she breaks down the three sneaky ways you're sabotaging your own success and shares the exact mindset shifts you need to finally get out of your own way and start seeing real traction.


Key Takeaways

  • Stop letting "perfection paralysis" keep you stuck – Your website doesn't need to be flawless, your reels don't need to be Oscar-worthy, and your funnel doesn't need to be perfect before you launch. Remember: perfection is just fear in high heels – she looks cute but she's still the same person holding you back.
  • Consistency beats capability every single time – The problem isn't that you're not talented enough; it's that you're not staying focused on ONE thing long enough to see results. Stop idea-hopping between building your team, creating courses, starting podcasts, and joining new companies.
  • Busy work doesn't equal income-producing activities – Creating endless Canva designs, tweaking your Instagram bio for the 47th time, and researching for hours isn't moving the needle. Safe doesn't get you paid, and low-risk activities keep you broke.
  • Your self-sabotage patterns are actually signs you're ready for your next level – Instead of seeing perfectionism, shiny object syndrome, and invisible hustling as proof you're not cut out for this, recognize them as flashing signs that you're ready to level up.
  • The solution isn't more strategy – it's getting out of your own way – You already have the skills, knowledge, and potential. The only thing standing between you and your goals is the fear-based decisions you're making as the CEO of your business.
  • Your success has already happened – you just need to believe it – Have a conversation with the version of yourself who's already accomplished everything you want. What would she tell you about where you are now? When you truly believe your success is inevitable, you'll start acting like it.
