What would you do if your direct sales company suddenly shut down? That’s exactly what happened to Jenny Hillenburg, a top leader in a large direct sales company that closed its doors in December 2024. In this episode, Jenny shares her journey of navigating uncertainty, building a backup plan, and launching her own business—on her terms. If you’re a direct seller, this conversation is a must-listen.

Key Topics Covered:

  • Jenny’s 21-year career in direct sales and the abrupt closure of her company.
  • How she started preparing for her next step before the announcement came.
  • Why having a backup plan is critical for direct sellers (and how to create one).
  • The importance of branding yourself and not just your company.
  • The freedom of running your own business and how Jenny transitioned from direct sales leader to entrepreneur.
  • Why systems are key for business success—and how Jenny helps direct sellers get organized.
