This is episode 82 of the Pam Sowder Podcast, with your host, Pam Sowder! Pam has over 2 decades of field and corporate experience and was voted one of the most influential women in direct selling. She helps match the daily needs of distributors to everyday life challenges.

Sit back, relax, and get your pen and paper out! You're going to want to take A LOT of notes this episode because Pam has the one and only Kami Pentecost joining her this episode! Kami is the Vice President of Field Development for It Works! Global, but she's also so much more than that — she's also a former Black Diamond. This means that for 6 months in a row she earned over $100,000/month — which requires a lot of work, dedication, effort, and leadership!

In this episode, you're going to hear everything Kami has to offer! She shares how she broke through the roadblocks in her path to get to Black Diamond, how she shifted her mindset in moments where she was feeling stuck or lost, her favorite breakthrough moments, and some of the money mindset hangups she has overcome. She also speaks about the symptoms that may be keeping you from where you want to be, the repercussions of overthinking the 'how,' how the word 'help' is often misconstrued, important lessons she has learned while working her business, and her tips for growing your own business and finding success!
