The problem with the Hustle Harder Trap is it will always lead you to believe that the key to success is DOING MORE.

This approach can only work until a certain point.

Today in our Friday Simplify Series, I cover the first step of 3 steps to break free from the hustle hard trap – ELIMINATE.

You'll learn…

- the importance of slowing down

- how to do more by doing less

- simplifying your business

- why you need to do a personal audit time

In this week's episode, we're talking about a concept that has become more and more toxic in today's workplace culture…

…and one that has done very little good in the social selling and networking marketing industries, too.

And that is: HUSTLING.

In this 22-minute episode, you'll learn:

—> Why our Love, Serve, Grow framework is the radically different plan you need to break free of hustling

—> What slowing down actually allows us to do (and why!)

—> How you need to shift the way you work your business

—> A way better approach to the "results-focused" way of working we've all been taught

—> Why it's so critical to simplify your business and do LESS

I also have a SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT about something that I've created to support you in all of these areas…

…and to help you begin to leave that Hustle Harder mentality in the DUST.

Which do you value more: time freedom or financial freedom?

Most people in this profession have these priorities completely backwards and it is holding them back in a big way.

If you're single and don't want any life outside your business-no need to change.

But if you are a mother or father, husband or wife, and you value FAMILY and FREEDOM, take 15 minutes out of your day to listen to today's episode.

This episode is kicking off the Friday Simplify Series: a series of 4 episodes starting today and happening on each of the next 3 Fridays.

The Friday Simplify Series is going to teach you how to simplify your business by doing less so you can have more of what you actually want.

Make sure you tune in to hear each episode of the series!

The #1 problem you have in your business right now isn't that you lack TIME or ABILITY.

It's simply that you've been chasing SOMEONE ELSE'S definition of success (not your own)!

So you can find a new level of success and fulfillment in your business.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- how to get unstuck from shame-based leadership

- breaking free from hustle hard trap

- how to create alignment and take vision aligned actions

- figuring out your personal vision

STOP avoiding your Red Light Stories!

While we often talk about the negative side of Red Light Stories, they actually serve an INCREDIBLY important purpose in your business.

I'm sure most of you have some major Red Light Stories that have come to the surface so far in this series.

I want to tell you that they're not something for you to resist.

Right on the other side of a Red Light Story is a GROWTH ORIENTED ACTION (GOA).

GOAs are the key to long term sustainable success and fulfillment in your business.

BUT they require a shift in your EXPECTATIONS and FOCUS – (from RESULTS to GROWTH).

It's making the shift from being TRANSACTIONAL to TRANSFORMATIONAL.

In this episode, you'll learn:

- how red light stories can lead you to your own personal growth

- why you need to shift your focus from results to growth

- steps in identifying your GOAs

- how to move from your comfort zone to your growth zone

- why managing your mind is key in transforming your RLS into GOAs

The word SALES has a funny way of stirring up uncomfortable emotions in a lot of people. If you're struggling to reach your sales goals each month or you're having a hard time talking about your business opportunity with your prospects, I'm betting the word SALES has that uncomfortable effect on you.

And it's holding you back from sharing your business.

That's exactly why you'll want to check out this week's episode..

I'm talking about the difference between transactional selling and transformational selling — and what a huge difference transformational sales can be in your business (and your life).

In this 25-minute episode, you'll learn:

—> Why sales skills are fundamental to leadership and succeeding at just about everything

—> The characteristics of transactional selling vs. transformational selling

—> How transformational sales can help you feel SO much more comfortable about selling

—> How to shift to a transformational approach (or deepen into this approach if you're already using it)

—> Why service vs. sales isn't an either/or conversation (they go hand-in-hand!)

Are you making this HUGE mistake in your network marketing business?

I see it all the time.

So many people in this profession spend a majority of time on marketing (social media) strategies and skills, without ever learning how to effectively sell.

But there's a big problem with this approach.

You're focusing too much on attraction marketing and it will leave you running on a treadmill or to a dead end in your business.

There is a skill you're missing that is absolutely critical to your chances of success.

In this episode, I share how you can develop effective sales skills so that your content leads to conversations, and your conversations turn to sales.

I didn't want to have to be the one to tell you this, but…

Most of what you've been taught about success is holding you back in your network marketing business.

Whether you're in your first year of network marketing or you've been around the block a few times, you've been bombarded with ways to make your business successful.

Uplines, mentors, and people on social media have been feeding you strategies on how to reach time and financial freedom.

However, for many of these people, the pursuit of SUCCESS eventually becomes the catalyst for failure.

There is SO much outdated advice and practices that are literally running network marketing businesses to the ground (oftentimes before they even get started).

And it's time to change the conversation.

In this episode, I'll walk through the biggest (and most damaging) lies that we're all told in network marketing and social selling.

When you think about the results you're seeing in your network marketing business, do you consistently wish they were better?

And when you think about WHY your results aren't where you'd like them to be, do you consistently think, "Well, it's just that I don't have enough TIME to build my business."

It's so easy to fall into the trap of thinking if we DO MORE, GIVE MORE…then we can be successful.

It is absolutely necessary for you to break through a very common excuse about "not having enough time" so you can start achieving greater levels of success.

And I'm going to help you do just that.

You'll also learn…

• Why time is NEVER the reason you can't build your business
• Why even if you had MORE time, you'd likely be in the exact same place
• What the REAL issue is in your business, and…
• How to start fixing THAT!

If you feel like time is the issue that's keeping you from building the business of your dreams, then you definitely need to make time (only 13 minutes!) to listen to this episode.

Learn three things to say when people tell you network marketing is 'a scam'…. Today I want to address the objection almost every single network marketing HATER will give you when they try to trash our industry...

How can you call something a 'legitimate opportunity' when 9 out of 10 people fail (aka never make any money)?

Of all the objections that people give about network marketing, this is probably the one that stings the most…

…and always leaves you wishing that you knew the best way to respond to it.

Well, wish no more, because in this week's podcast episode, I'll be teaching you exactly how you can respond to this annoying question with confidence.

Because there are actually THREE important reasons why this objection is completely false.

In this episode, you'll learn:

—> That network marketing is not even close to the only industry or line of work where the failure rate is high

—> What key factor among network marketers makes the failure rate look so high

—> And what other criteria there is to measure success in networking marketing
