One of the biggest LIES I see so many network marketers buy into is this →

That it's ACTIONS that create success.

So they hustle harder, do more, pull longer hours – and basically sacrifice their life to reach their goals …

But still never get the results they want.

That's exactly where my incredible podcast guest Katherine Debs found herself toward the end of last year, before she decided to trust her gut and join our leadership certification program, LLA.

Katherine had been showing up and grinding it out for 8 full years in her business – doing all the things, following all the training …

…but nothing seemed to make the difference she wanted.

She knew some missing piece was holding her back – and she needed to find it soon or she'd end up burning out completely!

It was only when she joined LLA, and started working with the Formula for Transformation that she finally discovered what that missing piece was:

Her true self.

From an early age, Katherine had held the belief that sharing her voice was wrong.

But once she realized how this limiting belief had been holding her back and was able to choose a new Green Light Story (that her voice, her ideas and her SELF were good enough, and needed to be shared) ...

…then everything changed.

See, it all starts with belief.

And its BELIEF – not action – that creates your success.

If you're someone who's ever struggled with burn out, overwhelm, or needing to hustle like crazy to feel deserving, I promise this episode could change your life!

Has this ever happened to you?

You have a great idea for a social media post, you get everything ready to go, ready to hit send, and a sneaking fear creeps in….

"Is this too salesy??"

Somehow through attraction and curiosity marketing, we've gotten to the point of actually being AFRAID to post about our products.

For years we've been petrified of coming across as an infomercial or a 'Spamela Pamela' so we stop posting about our products and business all together.

But here's the thing: if you're scared of being too salesy, you are already thinking like a sales person.

You need to completely re-wire your brain from thinking about sales to thinking about solving people's problems. Once you do that, the way you share content about your products or business will be different.

Today's episode will talk you through making the shift from sales to service and how to rid yourself of the fear of posting about your products and business.

What do you do when you know you have a limiting belief that's holding you back – maybe around feeling unworthy, or having to work like crazy to feel good about yourself …but you just can't pinpoint why exactly you believe that?

We tend to believe that red light stories are created by some traumatic or intense event in our past.

However, I'm here to tell you, our limiting beliefs can also be created in totally nontraumatic, everyday circumstances (which is why our loving parents help to create so many of them!).

Today, I share with you my own limiting beliefs around money and how they were formed, day-by-day during my childhood.

And I'll also share with you how you can still let go of your Red Light Story…even if you don't know how it began.

Here's the #1 reason why people struggle in recruiting or building a team -- They lack belief in themselves.

Our default belief setting is that people will only join our team if we have proven personal results already…aka we have a huge, successful team already in place for them to join.

So, when we don't have a team of 100, 1000, or 10,000 in place already, we think that no one would be interested in becoming a team member.

We have this red-light story about our self-worth because of our lack of results.

However, the true reality is your lack of results has nothing to do with someone else being interested in your business.

What's truly important is YOUR PERSONAL STORY.

And how you share it that then creates relationship and curiosity.

In this Biz Tip Friday, I'll teach you how to share your personal story that will make people interested in learning about your business, and potentially joining you, even if you don't have the results yet.

When we experience a significant trauma in our lives, it can sometimes have a devastating effect on our lives – even decades later.

Even when the event itself is long past and can no longer hurt us directly – it can still hold us in its grip.

Because we've made it mean something about US.

Even though it could never be your fault, if you're anything like most people, you still feel somehow like it must have happened because there's something "wrong" with you.

You create a story about yourself, based on a circumstance that was nothing to do with you.

And that Red Light Story can keep you stuck in shame and fear for the rest of your life – if you let it.

That's exactly what Amanda has been struggling with, for years now.

Amanda was so courageous recently, when she opened up during a live coaching session inside our leadership certification program, Legacy Leadership Academy – and shared how a set of traumatizing events in her early childhood have been keeping her from fully showing up in her life and business.

How DO you start to let go of a story that's simply been "true" for you, for most of your life?

That's exactly what I helped Amanda with during our amazing coaching session together and you can hear our full conversation on this week's podcast episode.

Tune in right now, to discover how to detach from and defuse your Red Light Stories, and instead use your experiences as your most powerful tool to make your impact in the world and fulfill your true purpose and potential.

If you and I met in person, I'd ask you this question….

Are you an accidental leader?

An Accidental Leader is when you have created success out of your own sheer effort, and people start buying your products and joining your team.

However, you don't really know how to show them what you did so they can experience those same results. Or you're trying to show them… but it isn't working.

In other words, there's No DUPLICATION on your team. And as a result, you find yourself stuck in your business. Because you can sell and recruit, you grow wide; but, since no one else can duplicate what you're doing, your team never grows deep.

In this Biz Tip Friday, I want to create an awareness of what an accidental leader is and help you get past that role so that you can start growing your team and see more financial success.

One of the most important leadership lessons you need to learn is TIME is your most precious asset.

As a leader, it's really important that you invest your time into the right people.

Unfortunately, there's a trap that most leaders fall into ---

--- We spend tons of time motivating the unmotivated and getting the uncommitted to commit, thinking that is our job as a leader.

And what winds up happening is our business starts to slow, we get frustrated, and we become resentful.

In this Biz Tip Friday, I'll teach you know who to decide who you should be spending the most time with on your team.

One of the biggest myths that gets thrown around in network marketing is this →

"The only way succeed is to take MASSIVE ACTION!"

If you think success means sacrificing family life, THIS podcast is exactly what you need to hear!

This idea of putting in 100% total INTENSITY of effort while trading off every other area of your life has become the common narrative when it comes to creating success.

It's the 'all or nothing' mentality that creates such a problem for most people, and in the process, makes them think that success in their business must come at the expense of their life.

But I'm here to tell you, that's a great big LIE.

Not just because pushing at maximum intensity all the time burns you out really quick, and sets back your success for a long time … but also because this limiting belief actually STOPS most network marketers from even showing up!

So many network marketers don't even make the effort, because they've been sold this idea of 'what it takes' to create true success in their business and they are not willing to pay that high of a price.

I'm not saying that 'hard work' or periods of more intense effort aren't beneficial and necessary from time to time.

But if those things are the norm for you in your business… that's a problem.

In this episode, I want to present a new definition of 'massive action' for you to follow in your business... and it's based on a simple idea.

I've been getting one question a LOT lately….

When do you know it's the right time to change companies?

I know this can be a very difficult and often delicate topic. So much of the time, when we're leaving companies, it becomes a very personal thing, and we discover people want to attack us.

First of all, please know that it is OK if you want to work with a different company, especially when you decide there's a product or business model more aligned with your passion or mission.

What is important is that when you do make the decision to move to a different company, you do so with integrity and dignity

In this Biz Tip Friday, I'll shed light on the things that you need to consider most when you're considering leaving for a new company.

Episode Quotes

"It's not a bad thing if someday you'll decide to change the course of your career."

"It's not about making the right decision. It's making a decision and then committing to make that decision right."

"Don't doubt yourself because that is the killer of success."
