423: Let's Talk About 'Leaders' Who Trash Other Companies

Today’s show is a bit different… This episode is related to some news that very recently became public that Beautycounter, a respected and admired company in our space for many years, is shutting down. The reaction to this news that I’ve been made aware of has made me think of something that I absolutely hate about this profession, and that is the negativity in times like this and how certain individuals prey on the challenges and struggles of others. I was so fired up about this that I just did an Instagram Live about it, and I’m sharing the audio from that broadcast right here for you to tune into in case you missed it. Whether you’re a Beautycounter Brand Advocate or just somebody in this profession who wants to elevate the way you do business, this is an important episode. I hope this provides some clarity for you during difficult times, as I shine the light on the dark side of our industry. Listen to Learn 7:54 - What normally happens when news like this is announced and how I feel about this type of reaction 10:31 - A critical choice that we must make when we are going through challenging times  13:56 - Exciting details on our brand-new workshop, Transformed!  14:58 - Our own personal adversity that we faced as a company last year and the lessons I learned from experiencing it  18:10 - A simple question for you if you are going through tough times right now   Are you tired of all the transactional strategies being taught today?
