You ever wonder what your kids will think about your network marketing business when they grow up? I always do 😂

One of the things I LOVE about network marketing is the opportunity to earn incredible experiences and trips!! We just got back from dreamy Maui, Hawaii! We were there for 10 days, and although I had only earned this trip for myself and guest, I actually brought SEVEN guests with me this time-my husband, and almost all of our kids, including my oldest son Noah and his wife. 💕💕

He watched me build my business from the beginning when he was 11 years old, and right after he moved out at 18 years old, I FINALLY hit the top rank of the company.

So he saw me work my business while juggling homeschooling, nursing babies, changing diapers, cooking all the meals, managing all the finances, and all the work of managing a household while my husband worked a full time job.

Noah saw me endure some hard things and keep going anyway. He describes how extended family members mocked me openly. Looking back on the whole thing, I never would've known how that impacted him but MAN!!!! It makes me so glad that I didn't let it stop me or use that as a reason to quit...because I almost did. What effect would that have had on my son?!

So I thought you might enjoy hearing the perspective of a son who grew up with a mother that was building a successful network marketing business and was trying to do a lot of things well. I asked him things like:

🤔 Did you think I was weird?

🤔 Did it bother you that I transitioned from homeschooling mom to work from home mom?

Some of his answers really surprised me! So interesting how differently kids see things than moms do 😃 We also just chatted about what makes people successful in life. I loved the whole thing.

Hopefully you will too. 🤍 And if you listen, let me know your thoughts!

Today we are talking about a non-negotiable quality for someone who has BIG goals...DETERMINATION.

The definition of "determined" is decided, settled, resolved.

When we goals that are outside of our current skillset, there's a whole lot of figuring out of things that has to happen to get from where we are now to where we want to go!

And we can't wait around for someone to hand it to us, we have to take ownership and go get it!!

Along the way, there will be setbacks. The setbacks cause frustration, and how we respond to our frustration is what will determine how far we go.

For the successful people, frustration actually drives CHANGE. For the unsuccessful, it causes them to quit. So many people allow discouragement to rob them of their dreams, because they don't see adversity as part of the process that is shaping them into the type of person who can handle the amount of success we desire!!

Most of the time our discouragement is not rooted in reality, its rooted in our unrealistic expectation of what reality should be. And most of the time that unrealistic expectation is rooted in comparison!

Comparison is the thief of joy, and comparison keeps people stuck!! The truth is, no matter how successful a person is, they all hit a wall at some point!! Every single person who has ever set a goal and worked hard to achieve it has gotten to a point where they feel frustrated because what they are doing doesn't seem to be working!

How you respond to your frustration will determine your trajectory, and this episode will walk you through how to overcome your frustration, lack of results, make change happen, develop yourself and your skills, AND how to become CONFIDENT!

This episode is perfect timing right before our company convention! 😍 Let me know what you think!

The last two weeks of the year are probably my favorite weeks of the whole year!!

It's a time when I get reflective of the current year AND start cultivating my vision for the coming year.

Reflection, planning, executing, then repeating is the process of becoming successful at ANYTHING!

So today, I am re-airing an episode that aired exactly one year ago that is still super relevant and timely right now and this time EVERY year!

It's about cultivating your leadership vision. It begins with reflection, and then moves into thinking about what you want to accompish in the year ahead, not just for yourself, but also for your team.

Great leaders are not only able to produce results for themselves, they are also able to help OTHERS produce results!

I find that these types of leaders have 3 qualities: convictions, vision, and a plan.

On this episode we walk through how to develop each one of those qualities, with lots of questions to help cultivate your leadership vision for the upcoming year and then communicate it in a way that makes others catch the vision with you!!

The workbook I created for this episode is one you'll want to fill out year after year. I hope you DREAM BIG for 2024 and that after filling after this workbook, you'll have clarity on how to achieve it!
