Tea For Two

Instead of our first instinct being to make up an excuse, what if we started asking ourselves, "So what’re you gonna do about it?"

You’re constantly going to go through different seasons in your life.

You guys know the old, spammy network marketing strategy of cold messaging, host a post, parties & graphics. 

What we’ve heard time and time again is something along the lines of, I joined you because you weren’t like or teaching your team to do that. 

But what we found out is that everyone that used to use the old spammy tactics has moved onto what we think is the “new” way of doing things. 

Creating curiosity.. “work from wifi”.. make money while you sleep.. making it look easy and like everyone can do it. 

But the fact of the matter is, that’s the new spammy. We all know finding success in this industry is anything but easy. 

Here’s our new idea on how to stand out..

It’s far too normal to quit things now a days. Like it’s rare that someone doesn’t give up and actually does well at something or does what they say they’re gonna do. That’s where justifying inconsistency comes into play.

But — Inconsistency is rooted in self-discipline, and self-discipline is rooted in belief in oneself.

If you don’t believe in yourself, you won’t work on your self discipline because you’ll convince yourself “you suck at _____”. Which will make you inconsistent.

It’s time to own your own shiz.

If you hate something, you’re choosing it.. your flaws, your friend group, your health, your job.. you get to do it or you get to do something about it !!!!!!!

No one will take you serious if you don’t take yourself serious

This is on YOU.

We know we know - who's winning at that whole work/life balance thing anyways? there is no way each day is going to be perfect but here are a dozen tips to go to bed feeling like you totally slayed.   

tell us what you think 🧡 we love to read your reviews.

Do you know that silly saying, she turned her cants into cans and her dreams into plans? That’s what you need to do here. There are PLENTY of valid reasons to put your business on the back burner, but you started this because because you wanted something. Happiness, a passion, to be healthy, to make more money… whatever it is.

So telling yourself..

"I’m pregnant so it makes it hard to promote", "I work full-time so I don’t have time to work my business"  "I was already with another company or two/ people are going to think I’m a company hopper", "I’m dealing with some mental battles/ going through a really hard season of life"

And using one of those reasons as an excuse, is only going to make you regret it when you see someone pushing through the same exact struggle you’re going through and still continuing to work their business.

The difference between you and her is that she wanted it more.

So how much do you want this?

You can always find the silver lining.

Work on seeing life through an optimistic lens, instead of a negative one.

Uh oh, one of those “𝒃𝒖𝒛𝒛𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔“ we always hear in this industry. 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒉𝒆- friends, do not let this word cause an identity crises. It simply is knowing what your all about. Your style. What your want you page to the go to for?

Niche-ing is not something to avoid – rather than being constricting, it is actually very freeing.

You might be wondering -

Why don’t we know what to post about?!

It’s because you haven’t found your niche!

Today’s episode is tough love. It’s a wake up call. It’s us telling you the details of what it actually took to get to where we are.

It wasn’t the lunch dates, getting our nails done and taking content pics together.

It was saying no to hanging because we had to work, putting in HOURS everyday, making this business our main focus and over all - making some serious sacrifices and trade offs.

Y’all have either done this or seen this, we all have. The “must be nice” tactic is basically making people think that you have a ton of free time that this biz gives you, when we all know that if you actually want to go far with it, you don’t have as much free time as some might portray.

This will have people joining you that think this is cake walk & aren’t willing to do the hard work it takes.

This could have people not want to join you because they’re jealous and think “must be nice”.

Or your team could envy you because they think you have it easy and they’re doing all the hard work.

Maybe it’s time to stop saying yes to all the weekend trips that make your story look cool, so you can sit at your computer and actually get some work done.

This episode is packed with so much you NEED to hear. Our team loved it, we hope you do too.
