I will let you in on a little secret — whether or not you realize it, you’re already building a brand!

Why? Because we are able to do a lot of internal reflection and explore areas of personal growth that we may not have ever explored if it hadn’t been for the nature of the industry.

Sometimes, we don’t even realize what exactly we need to change, even after listening to trainings and podcasts, taking courses, and reading books.

Last summer, I had Patti Mauro on the show to chat about her journey as a top leader in her company and how she was successfully running a thriving direct sales business. Since that episode aired, Patti has made a transition to a new company, and her decision to do so was not easy.

After she announced the switch, we had conversations about how this is a tough decision to make, yet no one really talks about how to navigate it. Patti told me that she wished there were more resources out there for those wanting to switch companies, and that really stuck with me. I asked her to come back on the show and share her experience in making this decision. I know it could be valuable and relatable to hear her heart and what went on behind the scenes, whether you’re listening now or in the future.

In a perfect world, we pick one company and never leave. But we all know that life is filled with growth, change, and can look different from season to season… and that’s ok!
