If you’re a direct seller, you’ve probably heard the whispers (or maybe the full-on sirens) about companies closing, switching models, or restructuring overnight. Epicure. Tupperware. Seint. Plunder. Beachbody (Bodi). And most recently, Colorstreet and Sunset Gourmet. The list keeps growing—and the biggest mistake you can make is assuming your company is looking out for your long-term security.

In this episode, we’re getting real about the importance of having a backup plan—and how to start one without adding more hustle to your plate.

You’ll learn:
✅ Why relying solely on your direct sales company is a risky move
✅ The warning signs we’ve seen from major company shutdowns and shifts
✅ Three simple steps to create a backup plan (without starting a whole new business)
✅ The power of branding yourself beyond just being “the skincare lady” or “the jewelry rep”
✅ Why hope is not a strategy—and how to take control of your income starting now

In this special Christmas Eve episode, we’re tackling one of the biggest roadblocks to success: overthinking. If you’ve ever found yourself stuck waiting for the "perfect time," this episode is your wake-up call. Let’s talk about how taking messy, imperfect action can help you move forward and find clarity.

Key Points Covered:

1. Why Overthinking Equals Procrastination:
   • Overthinking often disguises itself as planning, but in reality, it’s holding you back from progress.
2. The Cost of Staying Stuck:
   • Missed opportunities and zero momentum are the price of waiting for the perfect moment.
3. Clarity Comes Through Action:
   • Perfect timing is a myth; you won’t gain clarity by waiting—you’ll only find it by doing.
4. Steps to Take Messy Action Today:
   • Ask yourself: What do you feel called to do?
   • Find the easiest way: What’s one small step to try it out?
   • Take action now: Even if it’s messy, taking the first step will build confidence and momentum.
5. Real Talk on Impulse and ADHD:
   • Rachel shares her personal journey with impulsivity, overthinking, and learning to navigate both.
6. You’re More Ready Than You Think:
   • You don’t need a certification, more confidence, or perfect conditions to get started.

Closing Reminder:
Your next big thing isn’t waiting for you to feel ready, so why are you waiting? Take messy action today and watch the magic unfold. DM Rachel on Instagram @RachelaPerry with the word “READY” to chat about your next step.
