tena talks

It's no secret that I am an oil lover and totally obsessed with this business. But I wanted to talk about what it looks like to realistically build this business alongside the ones I'm currently rockin.

I've had several conversations this past week about building this business and trying to find the time to fit it in, so I peeked back into the beginning of this business for me and outlined what I did to get to the rank I have now achieved as a Diamond in dōTERRA supporting our entire family on this income.

I stumbled, I didn't do it all right and this isn't the only way to do the business, in fact, that is one reason I love dōTERRA - you can do it at your own pace, your own way. 

If time is holding you back, I want to encourage you to start small but to keep taking steps no matter how slow you go - just keep going. 

From the lips of LADY GAGA herself » this is hard work. I've worked hard for a long time, and it's not about, you know...it's not about winning. But what it's about is not giving up. If you have a dream, fight for it. There's a discipline for passion. And it's not about how many times you get rejected or you fall down or you're beaten up. It's about how many times you stand up and are brave and you keep on going. 

Now, I know that may be a little extreme when we are talking small business, but honestly, the words couldn't be more true - this is hard work, but it is worth it!

Episode 18 was one I had never planned to have SO much impact. Your messages have brought me to my knees my friends. I never would have imagined that on the others side of the storm Preston and I walked through, we would be having these conversations with close friends and mere acquaintances. I get that the mess is hard to share, that posting on social media about your troubles is faux pas but it doesn't have to be, actually it might be exactly what you or someone else you love needs. Please (yes, I am begging you) do not keep your troubles to yourself, reach out, seek help. 

You may be right in the eye of the storm and while you are reading this you are thinking 'oh it worked out for them, but not us.' - girl, I was there. I was SO there. The stories (lies) I was telling myself were no different than the ones you are saying, try me.

Now don't get me wrong, every day is not a stress-free pile of gushy love letters. We have our moments, but the D word is no longer in our vocab - we took it out of the Pettis Family dictionary.

Because of all of your messages, this week on the podcast I bumped out the plan because I knew I wasn't ready to move on from this topic, and neither were you. I also knew I was not equipped to answer all of your Q's, my story is my own, and although it can offer hope, your story is unique to you. So I called in an expert on the topic. Someone that has worked with couples in trauma and watched them slowly walk into restoration. 

Thank you Danielle Ruff for taking a moment to so gracefully share with us some tools and words to use when in the valley of marriage. 

A resource that was mentioned is '8 Dates' by John Gottman. I can't want to dive into this book. 

Let's keep the conversation going on IG » https://www.instagram.com/tenapettis

Oooh - we have a good one for you today. This week seemed like the perfect one to drop some marriage 'stuff' on you. Preston (my hubs) and I have rocked all levels of marriage and in this episode of the podcast we share it all. The highs, the lows and the in-betweens. 

Disclaimer: Not counselors and we don't claim to be. Just a couple of humans doing the life thing and sharing our experiences. 

Book Resources Discussed: 

Soar Above by Steven Stosney
Strength Based Marriage by Allan Kelsey and Jimmy Evans

The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work by John M. Gottman and Nan Silver
His Needs, Her Needs by Willard Harley

Betty Jean Bell can and should only be introduced using all 3 names. She is seriously that cool.

This crazy cool chick and I go waaaay back. Reunited after all these years and we are still on the same wavelength when it comes to all things biz. 

Seriously there is just so much to say and we really do cover a lot of topics but the main theme here is 'where are you limiting yourself'?

I'm normally a 20-30 minute episode kind of girl but this one was just too good to leave anything out.

For nearly 10 years I have been educating on the topic of social media and while there are a few things that still remain the same from then to now I'm wan to fill you in on a platform I know you need to be using and why.

Instagram needs your attention peeps!

1. It doesn't need to be instant. 
2. Pics: Professional as possible. 
3. Write content in a block of time. 
4. Don't have multiple instagrams. Combine your life. 
5. Hashtags: What are they, why use them.
6. Would you follow you?

Oh my goodness, I know this title may give you hives just thinking about it. Making the decision to leave your 9-5 is NOT EASY. There is definitely comfort in the paycheck but I will tell you that this side of the paycheck is oh so very sweet.

Here are 5 things we cover in this episode. 

1. Slightly Responsible
2. What does success look like to you? 
3. If you release the job, what does life look like?
4. What could you let go of in order to follow this dream? 
5. One thing may be holding you back from it... health insurance, degree.... everything is figuroutable and your viewpoint may just have to change.

Wow - planning 2019 and realizing NOTHING I planned for 2018 happened.

Seriously, nothing.

This has never happened... and I am so happy it did. God had totally different plans for me. I want to walk you through the last year of what happened in my life in the hopes that maybe you can relate and learn a bit.
