120: The Achievement Trap Oct 29, 2019

Show notes

What is driving you in your business? This episode is probably one of the most important episodes I've ever recorded. Today, I share with you something that I personally struggled with personally and professionally. And I believe you can probably relate to this, too.

The moment you stop striving to achieve something to feel worthy is the moment where you experience something much more powerful

I want to ask you a question, and your answer to this question will ultimately determine the kind of business you create and the quality of life that you experience.

Here's the million-dollar question - What is driving you in your business?

If I look back on my own network marketing career, what was ALWAYS driving me was 'the next thing.' One month it was to sign a certain 'A-player' prospect. The next it was to hit the next rank. Then to win a company trip. The car. The 'top earner.'….iti went on and on and on.

And each 'nest thing' was supposed to make me happy and feel better in my life.

But, after the initial happiness faded away from hitting my goals, I felt exactly the same as I did before. I was still miserable and I felt totally alone, actually I kind of feel worse.

That happiness is gone in seconds…and then you're on to 'the next thing' again.

This is what I call the achievement trap.

We have this mindset that our accomplishments in life will make us worthy, happy, and fulfilled in life. We do the hustle to reach our goals. Then we realize that each new accomplishment has a very empty, hollow feeling.

I hope this episode sheds light on your own achievement trap. I'm going to teach you how to break free from this in your business so that you'll start finding more sustainable happiness, joy, and fulfillment in the work that you do.

119: {Live Coaching} Is being busy making you feel more worthy? Oct 22, 2019

Show notes

Are you 'busy' in your business, but you're not 'productive?' Being 'busy' in your business, does not always equal success. Today, Jane joins me for a live coaching session to work through how her negative thoughts and how 'being busy' is holding her back in building a thriving business.

Leadership is leading by example - showing up every day and doing the work

For so many of us, especially in our western culture where achievement is looked highly upon, being busy and being part of 'the hustle' is looked highly upon….not just from other people, but even when we're dealing with ourselves as well!

We love and embrace 'the hustle!' So much so, that we convince ourselves that just being busy is enough.

We get a sense of accomplishment just from being busy. Some of us, myself included at times, find our worth in the craziness of being busy.

But, there's a HUGE difference between being busy and being productive.

When you're taking 'passive action,' (organizing, scrolling through social media, and reading personal development books) vs working your income producing activities gives a sense of accomplishment and worthiness, but does NOT build you a successful business in the long run.

Plus, when you're busy but not productive, you are not being the example and leader you need to be to your team. Your unwillingness to take the right actions is holding you AND them back.

So stay tune as Jane and I discuss how to conquer fear of failure, how to lead by example, and importance of not defining your own worthiness by how busy you are in your business

118: The 3 Identities Needed for Network Marketing Success Oct 09, 2019

Show notes

There are 3 different identities you must adopt in order to become massively successful in your network marketing business.

Your value in life isn't in the things that you do; it's in who you are

I have to admit, I had my own challenges when beginning my network marketing team. However, the concept of identity led me to the single greatest 'aha moment' of my career.

Here is the problem that most of us have: our identities (how we see ourselves) limit our results.

Our day is dominated by negative thoughts, stories, and beliefs that limiting us. But I want you to understand that success is not a matter of doing; it's a matter of being.

So here are 3 Identities needed for network marketing success.

First, understand that you are a BUSINESS OWNER. I've seen a lot of people work on their business when they feel like it, when it's convenient, or when they feel motivated. And this is a very dangerous place to be. So beginning today, I want you to start thinking like a business owner. Start treating it like a real business. Identify the characteristics of a successful business owner and start living by them today.

The second Identity is a NETWORK MARKETER. If you want to become successful in this profession, you don't 'do network marketing.' Nope! You must become a network marketer. The key is to shift from a saleman's mindset to a service mindset. Your business can make you tons of money, but that money and success is only as good as what you do with it to help others.

Last, you are a LEADER. Most of us have impostor's syndrome. We're so worried people will find out that 'we don't know everything' that we don't even start. These are simply limiting beliefs about ourselves when it comes to leadership. So here is my advice, stop focusing on what you don't have and haven't done yet. Instead, start showing some appreciation for the things you have done, and what you have already in your life. You don't need to have a team to be a leader. You only need to begin by leading the most important person – YOURSELF.

117: Getting Unstuck, Motivating Your Team, Building Your Belief #AskBob Sep 24, 2019

Show notes

Today I'm answering YOUR listener-submitted questions!

You'll often hear that owning your own business can be a very lonely endeavor, even when you have downline, uplines, and sidelines like in network marketing.

However, what you need to know is that the problems you have are the same problems so many others are experiencing as well! Which is why I'm excited to release our very first podcast answering YOUR submitted questions!

06:29 Question #1 (Sarah) – How do I keep myself 'unstuck?' If you have been inconsistent for a really long time in your business, where do you even begin to build consistency, be an example to your team, and get the momentum going?

17:04 Question #2 (Tiara) – I'm a runner. But, how do you change the speed and momentum of your team? How do you adjust your expectations of other people who aren't like you?

28:12 Question #3 (Jessica) – I want to cast vision and think BIG, but when I think about who I need to be in order to make that happen, it's threatening my current identity BIG TIME. How do I change my identity and shift into that person that I need to be?

39:42 Question #4 (Sarah) - How are you supposed to see yourself running a million-dollar company when you are so far in debt? How can you truly believe that one day you'll be able to retire your husband and spend every day together as a family when I barely ever get to see them now as it is?

116: How to Close Your Month out Strong and Crush Your Goals Sep 17, 2019

Show notes

Are you frustrated with team members who don't take any action on their monthly goals? Or how about team members who don't even have monthly goals in the first place? How can YOU, as the team leader, set and achieve goals based on relying on other people taking action?

Today I'll be sharing with you leadership & team building strategies to help you close out a month strong with momentum and excitement to help you crush your goals. It's a very different way to approach the topic of goal setting and working with your teams.

You don't hit big goals in your business by trying to be everything to everyone

There are actually two parts to reaching a goal: 1) the setting of the goal, and 2) the action that takes place to meet the set goal. But, how do you work with people who have not 'owned it" and stated, "This is my goal for the month!"?

Effective goal setting and achievement is all about driving production and learning how to really motivate your people to action. And as leaders, we need to learn that owning a business with a 'voluntary army' of team members means we have to learn WHO and HOW to influence people on our team. Influence is leadership!

And this is where I see a lot of team leaders struggle. Most of your team members probably don't even know how to set big goals and that these goals are, in fact, achievable. And instead of being a servant leader and working with the team members to help them define and achieve their own goals, we end being a "SELF-SERVING" leader, asking team members to contribute towards a 'team goal.'

So many of us (myself included at one point), miss out on the concept of Legacy Leadership. Legacy Leaders understand that a personal goal means nothing unless it's based on the solid foundation of helping other people succeed on their team and achieve their goals.

In this episode, I am going to share exactly how to reach your month-end goals through servant leadership, how to effectively set goals, and how to implement an action plan for hitting your goals in your team that puts your team first…but still allows you to crush your month-end goals in the process!

115: The Magic of Thinking Big Sep 13, 2019

Show notes

Knowing how to 'think big' is one of the most important skills you will ever learn in your life. Today we are going to talk about the magic of thinking big and how mastering this skillset transformed my business and TOTALLY CHANGED MY LIFE.

Greatness is believing in a dream for your life far beyond your current circumstances

Thinking big and developing a compelling vision for your life is an extremely important job as a leader. And if you own a business, then you ARE a leader!

Casting a vision for your life and how others' lives can be is the starting point to being a great leader. Great leaders learn how to paint a vision for the future for themselves and their teams that inspires them to move into action!

However, the reason why most people are stuck and lack passion in either their business or life is because they lack vision. And I have to admit one of my own personal struggles was always using my past to determine what my future was going to look like.

But here's what I want you to understand, your past or current circumstances have NOTHING to do with your future!

So join me in this episode as I share the magic of thinking big and the steps on how to create your own big vision for your future!

113: 3 Steps for Implementing New Systems Aug 27, 2019

Show notes

There are three simple steps to implementing any kind of new system or change into your business and into your team.

You will never scale your business beyond yourself without the proper systems

Let's all admit it - most of us are into network marketing because we want a business that gives us FREEDOM.

However, as I look around our industry, I see a lot of network marketers who are NOT experiencing the freedom they crave.

Here's the reality that a lot of 'successful' network marketing leaders don't understand: If your business doesn't run WITHOUT YOU, it's not a business. It's a JOB.

I want you to know that you don't need to be the 'center of the universe' on your team. In fact, I give you permission to purposely NOT be the 'center of the universe' on your team!

However, in order for you to grow a business that doesn't 100% depend on you, you must develop leaders in your downline. And to develop these leaders, you need a proper system in place to identify them and train them to step in and do what you do.

And so today, I am going to talk about why you need systems to scale your business, how it can develop the people in your team, the three steps for implementing new systems in your business, and the right attitude you need to have when implementing these changes.

112: The Gift of Failure Aug 19, 2019

Show notes

This episode is part 2 of a 2-episode series where we really dive into the subject fear plays in building a successful business. In part 1 we talked about what fear actually is and how you can actually change your thoughts actually perpetuate and feed that fear. If you haven't listened to part 1, episode 111, see the link to it below!

In this pod episode, we dig farther into how exactly fear can be used to actually BUILD your business and how to adopting a healthier attitude towards failure is the key to unlocking success in your business and in your life.

The only way to get 'unstuck' in your business is to adopt a new mindset about failure

It is ingrained in us during childhood that failure is a horribly bad thing to avoid. We also think that two paths exist: one is a path towards success and the other is a path that leads us to failure.

However, the reality is that only ONE PATH EXISTS! Success and Failure are merely different steps or stages along the same path! You literally have to fail your way to success every single day. Failure is unavoidable on your way to success! We must shift our mindsets to understand this and accept it so that as we do meet failure during our journey, we can mentally check it off as a step in the process and move on!

Join me in this episode as I talk about my personal experience with failure, the biggest shift I had to make when it comes to failure, how to adopt a new mindset to the 'NO's' in your business, and my action plans for you to increase your failure threshold.

111: How to Overcome Your Fear of Prospecting Aug 06, 2019

Show notes

In this podcast episode, we dive into a topic that I believe everyone can relate to which is how to overcome your fear of prospecting. I am going to give you a totally different way to look at fear and what I wish I would have known when I first started in network marketing.

The goal is not to eliminate FEAR… it is to build your FAITH

As humans we start off free from fear. My son, Greyson, proves this! He is a maniac and fearless in how he lives his life and what he's willing to try each day.

However, over time, as humans, we start to develop a fear that resides deep inside of us.

When I started my own first network marketing business, I was so excited at first!....until I had to make that first phone call! Then the fear stepped in! In fact, I, Bob Heilig, hated prospecting at first!

Oftentimes, we wind up clinging to our fears because we want to be certain and be in control.

We can call fear different things, but I want you to understand that no matter the term you use, they are all the same. And the solution to overcome every single type of fear is the same as well.

You need to know this - the solution is not eliminating fear; it is building up your faith.

To be successful in your business, you must break the habitual pattern of negative thinking that you've created in your life. This way of thinking has created your current results!

You must be able to interpret the things you are scared of – the 'no's,' the rejections, the lack of responses from people you respect – in a different way than your current emotions are allowing.

And so, in this episode, let's dig a bit deeper on what exactly fear is, exactly why we love to cling to our fears, but also what you need to consciously and intentionally see to overcome fear's grip on your life and your business.
