Today I want to talk about what I consider to be the single, worst piece of advice that's being given to network marketers today. Although this piece of advice makes the grass look greener, I'm here to show you how it really just dilutes your focus that you should be putting on your business.

This episode is your reminder to put your blinders on, stay focused through the ups and downs, and to think long-term about building your business!

Today I want to talk about a common mistake that is made with good intentions, and one that I see people doing so often when they're recruiting someone to their team. I was teaching my son how to ride a bike the other day and it made me realise something about leadership. Let me share with you what is really required when building a business and growing a team in the right way.

This conversation is all about how to not get stuck limiting your team members and your business, and I hope it helps you on your own journey!

4:47 - The ways in which you are limiting your team member and holding them back, even if you don't know you're doing this

5:20 - Why a bottleneck occurs and how it is actually one that you create in your own business

7:19 - The things you are doing as a leader that limits the amount of exposures your team members can make for their business

9:08 - Why it's so important to not be leading from a place of fear

In this episode, I explain this analogy and share the lesson that I learned early on in network marketing. I have been teaching this analogy to others from the very beginning of my career. I break down the different categories of "apples" (aka prospects) and I reveal how to sell to them, and when not to.

Your ideal prospects are in your audience and on your contact list right now, but you just haven't found them because you're not proactively reaching out and starting conversations with them each day. That's what I want this episode to help you with!

Today I want to talk about what is happening right now with SEINT, a popular company in our space and one that I've worked extensively with. If you haven't heard already, SEINT just announced that they are changing their compensation model to a pure affiliate model, which means that SEINT will be getting rid of the team building side and focus solely on product sales.

This is a big deal and sad news for our profession, and I want to share my thoughts on it because as a company, it's our mission to elevate the standards in this space. Not only by the way that all of us practice business, but also to hold the companies accountable by having some of the difficult conversions that need to be had, so we can educate you in what to look for in the companies that you align with.

Although people are seeing this as a sign that our industry is falling apart, you'll see why I think this could not be further from the truth. With the fear and uncertainty out there, I've spent the last few days gathering my thoughts so that I can speak to you about what is happening, and I went live to do that.

Today, I'm re-sharing that livestream that I did here on the podcast. The big message I want to bring to the SEINT artists who are feeling afraid is that I've been through this situation myself twice in my career, and we're here to support you. Whether you're in SEINT or not, if you're in this profession and serious about building a future in it, this is going to be a very important message for you to hear today.

Listen to Learn

4:47 - The 3 specific things I want to accomplish by openly sharing my thoughts on this situation

9:33 - My message to SEINT artists and a reminder about the powerful choice you can make

11:08 - Why I am so thankful now that I had a similar thing happen to me twice before

13:39 - My advice when it comes to picking companies and what you don't want to do

17:26 - How I know that our profession is not dying, but the ways in which it is absolutely changing

20:18 - The main problem I have with SEINT's change in the compensation model they're using

28:34 - What I see for the future of this space and the role that each one us has in making in better
