In this episode, Rachel gets real about the outdated (and straight-up toxic) beliefs still floating around the direct sales industry. From team building myths to hustle culture, she’s calling out the nonsense that’s keeping leaders stuck—and sharing what actually leads to growth in 2025. If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more or wondered if you’re allowed to build something outside your company, this one’s for you.

Key Points Covered:

  • Why team building is not the only way to grow your income.
    Rachel shares her experience of earning more from a $19 product than from her entire team and sales combined.
  • The myth that wanting more makes you greedy or ungrateful.
    Growth ≠ betrayal. Wanting more is a sign of vision, not disloyalty.
  • How building something of your own doesn’t make you a traitor.
    Loyalty to yourself ≠ disloyalty to your company. You can support your team and your future.
  • Why hustle culture is toxic—and what to focus on instead.
    Burnout isn’t a badge of honor. Strategy, peace of mind, and aligned work matter more than overworking.
  • When 'stick with it' is actually harmful advice.
    Sometimes it’s time to pivot—and that doesn’t mean you’re a quitter.
  • The truth about corporate loyalty (it’s not what you think).
    At the end of the day, your company is loyal to its bottom line. Protect your own future.
  • Why team drama doesn’t equal leadership.
    Real leadership starts with leading yourself first—not being the emotional support human for your entire downline.
