90: Mastering Your Money Mindset Jul 10, 2018

Show notes

Everyone has Limiting Beliefs about Money

In all honesty, every single one of us has some type of limiting belief about money.

And most of them were formed during our childhood – before the age of 8 to be exact!

Ever heard your parents or other people say these phrases:

"Money is the root of all evil."

"Money does not by happiness."

"The more money you have, the more problems you have."

If your childhood was anything like mine, you heard these 'limiting belief statements' as well. And once these false beliefs are part of your mindset, success will always be an uphill battle!

My Own Journey… and How Important it is to Have Self Worth

Growing up I barely saw my dad because of his work schedule.

I formed this belief that making money is difficult and in order to be successful you have to be willing to sacrifice your personal life and family.

And during school shopping days I remember my mom would say, "What?!! Do you think we're rich?"

These words greatly impacted my self-worth. It made me felt wrong to want nice things and that I wasn't worthy of them.

But you know what? Your self-worth will build your net worth.

The moment that I established my own self-worth, I also started to master my mindset around money.

5 Steps to Overcoming Your Limiting Beliefs About Money

In this podcast, I teach you the 5 steps you need to take to master your own money mindset.

Identify your limiting beliefs around money
Change your thoughts and be responsible for your thoughts
Change that way you talk about money
Change your beliefs
Reprogramming your mindset, and replace those limiting beliefs

Click HERE to download the 5 Steps to Master Your Money Mindset worksheet!

Again, change will not happen overnight. This may take a while but I know you can do it.

Episode Quotes

The three keywords are… "what something means."

"Having limiting beliefs around money and success are like trying to drive a car with the parking brake on all the time."

"Your self-worth will build your net worth."

"Your beliefs will always rise to the surface at some point. It's not what you SAY, it's what you truly BELIEVE to be true that will ultimately rule."

The Reason Why You Are Stuck in Your Business

Over and over again, I see a consistent theme as to why some leaders get stuck in their business.

Maybe the story sounds familiar to you – you're taking daily action, you're reading the personal development books, and no one can keep up with you! You are ON FIRE!

But…unfortunately, it's just you. None of your teammates are doing the same. They just don't seem to have the same 'spark' that you do.

Here's the thing - at some point you MUST learn to make the shift from your own personal development to leadership development. If you want long term growth for your business, you need to have leaders in your team.

You'll only get so far on your own efforts…. That's where intentional leadership development comes in.

Make That Shift to Leadership Development

When you first begin in network marketing, it is all about developing and growing yourself. But at some point, you MUST make the switch, take all of that newfound knowledge and wisdom, and begin pouring it into other people on your team.

Do you still remember the concept of 'Intentional Leadership?' I talked about it in Episode 65, "Are You An Accidental Leader?" if you need to listen to it. The people on your team need someone who will challenge them and develop them, somebody who will confront them when they are doing wrong. So what I want you to do is implement the strategies of Intentional Leadership and start pouring into the lives of everyone around you.

Episode Quotes

"You must learn to make the shift from your own personal development to leadership development if you want to create true freedom."

"If you can move product, you can make money. If you can teach people to move product, you can make a good living. But if you can move people, you can change lives and make a fortune in the process." - Lisa Grossman

"To sustain momentum and growth long term... you must be good at getting others to do what it takes to make the plan work."

"There are a SPECIFIC set of skills in the area of leadership that you need to master if you really want to create freedom in your business."

"You DO play a role in the success or failure of the people on your team."

"We are only going to get so far on our own efforts."

"The biggest thing that is missing for people, is they are taking a way too 'hands off' approach to the way that they lead their team."

"Sometimes you must step in as the leader of your team and confront people, tell them things sometimes that they don't WANT, but NEED to hear in order to get better."

88: The Success Equation Jun 19, 2018

Show notes

The Success Equation

Maybe you've seen one of these people in your own company…

They come out of the gate fast and furious. And in a short period of time, they make rank after rank, building a large team with fast momentum along the way. They're getting all of the accolades, awards, and attention that you so desperately crave for yourself.

And you think, "What's their secret?!! What do they have that I don't?!! What are they doing that I'm not?!!"

The truth of the matter is that there absolutely is a success equation that determines how fast you will see success in network marketing.

Your Personal Growth x Quality of Your Relationships x Your Intensity of Effort = Business Results

But the great thing is that YOU have 100% control over the three parts of this 'success equation!'

The More YOU Grow, the More Your Business Grows

First of all, stop comparing YOUR growth with others. The truth is, your journey is YOURS, and it's going to be different for each and every single one of you.

But what you also need to know is that to grow your business, all you need to do is intentionally and daily grow in each of these three areas.

Your business grows when you intentionally develop your leadership skills.

Your business grows when you intentionally give and develop a 'relational account' with every person in your life.

Your business grows when you truly begin to show up in your business with excitement and enthusiasm.

You see the most exciting part of all of this, is that no matter how bad you've been, you can turn this around TODAY and start tipping the scales in your favor.

Episode Quotes

"Network marketing is a personal development program with a compensation plan attached."

"The quality of the relationships around you in your life have a massive impact on results."

"You will either reap the rewards or pay the price of the life that you've lived prior to joining your network marketing business."

"You still have to show up every day and demonstrate an INTENSITY to your effort that shows you really are committed to success."

"Your network marketing business is an assignment from the universe to help you evolve and grow as a human being."

"The first step to getting where you want to go in your business, is first acknowledging the reality of where you are."

87: Defeating Your Fears Jun 15, 2018

Show notes

Fear Disappears When You Focus on Serving Others

Do you have what I like to call "success mindset?"

"Success mindset" is when all you can think about is what YOU can get from the business. Oftentimes leaders have this "success mindset."

And unfortunately, 'success mindset' doesn't just build ego…it also builds fear.

Leaders with this mindset don't try new things because they are afraid of failure. But this is exactly how you should NOT operate!

If you want to defeat fear, focus on serving others. Shift to building a legacy of leadership. Shift to impacting the world by transforming the lives of other people.

Whatever Fear You Have Right Now, That is What You Are Meant to Do

Join me in this episode, as I share with you a story about my own early days in network marketing. Let's just say, I was a disaster.

I was scared of so many things!

But everything changed and that fear disappeared when I became crystal clear about my own purpose - that I am here to help people be successful. I am here to transform lives…and you are too.

Episode Quotes

"When your business is focused on serving others, the power of fear over you begins to disappear."

"Stop focusing on yourself and begin focusing on others."

"Our greatest fears often times are simply a reflection of the greatest gifts inside of us."

"Fear is a call from the universe to guide you to your true purpose."

86: Beware of the 'Good Enough' Plateau Jun 12, 2018

Show notes

When 'the Good' Becomes 'the Enemy of Great'

What's up everybody, welcome to Episode 86. Today I've got a powerful message especially for those of you who are feeling stuck! It's called "Beware of the 'Good Enough' Plateau."

Here is the thing - some of us, especially when we've already experienced a bit of success in our business, tend to stay in the same ol' place. Over and over again, we do the same things, and they produce the same ol' results.

You need to know, this is a MAJOR reason why most leaders are stuck in their business. Maybe we just can't seem to get to that next level. Or our income seems to stay the same month-over-month-over month.

Externally, we look successful to our family and friends, but inside we know that there's more to accomplish in your life and business. But we're so stuck…

Unfortunately, we get to a certain 'success' point in building our business and then ego starts to creep in. We become unwilling to try new things. We tend to stop venturing into new ways of conducting our business that will grow ourselves personally and our team, too.

This is when 'the good' becomes 'the enemy of great.'

Set Aside Your Ego and Reinvent Yourself

If you want your business to build a legacy and impact others, then you need to learn to stretch yourself, venture into new areas, and take the risk of not looking good from the people around you.

So, join me in this episode as I share my own story. Learn how you can reinvent yourself! Scare yourself! Challenge yourself! -- and grow your business along the way.

Episode Quotes

"One of the traps of the good enough plateau is ego starts to creep in."

"If you want to make a massive impact in the world, you must continue to stretch yourself and venture into the land of uncertainty."

"We must learn to reinvent ourselves if we want to go to that next level in our life."

"Your confidence cannot be tied to your competence if you want to reach your full potential."

"Focus on who you need to be not what you need to do."

85: Stay in Your Own Lane May 25, 2018

Show notes

Comparing yourself with others kills your authenticity

Have you ever found yourself comparing what you're doing in your business to the people around you, and falling into the negative space of 'comparitis'? I know that I've been guilty of that in my own business. What I've noticed is that the more I look at what other people are doing, it starts to create negative thoughts and energy in my own mind. I always look at what others are doing, and wonder if what I'm doing is good enough. What I've found over time, is this actually begins to kill your own authenticity.

It's time to create some space for you to be yourself

I once heard on a podcast called 'Making Oprah', where Oprah was asked how she maintained her own authenticity, with all the competition that was popping up on daytime TV. I thought her answer was so profound. She simply said that they had this policy called "Stay in Your Own Lane". She said that she never once ever watched a single episode of her competitors. That answer literally floored me… and it empowered me to make a decision that has had a profound effect on my life. I stopped paying attention to what everyone else around me was doing, and started to create pace for me to be who I really am, and create authentic content on social media.

So join me in this episode as I share to you some action plans on how to do that, how I got inspiration from other people outside my space, and finally, how to be confident and be yourself.

Episode Quotes

"Anytime I started taking my eye off the ball in my own court and looking what other people were doing... it created a lot of negative energy in my head"

"Stay in your own lane... I never in my life watched a single episode of one of our competitors" - Oprah

"The best compliment I can ever get from someone is this - 'You are not like anyone else that does this'"

"Start creating some space for you to be yourself because you are good enough"

84: How to Avoid Burnout and Overwhelm Apr 17, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, I'll be giving you some tips on how to avoid burnout and overwhelm, on how to build a business around your life and not the opposite. I'll go over how critical resting and renewal is to the success of your business.

I'll begin by sharing with you a trend that I see with a lot of leaders around me. I've noticed that they are not self-caring when it comes to building their business and the type of business they are building. This often leads to burnout, ruining family relationships and even affecting their personal health. Yes, our goal is freedom and success, but what good is success if it ruins other aspects of our lives?

If you carefully implement the tips in this podcast, then I believe that you'll achieve positive lifestyle outcomes.

Tip #1: Start leveraging the power of technology

- The technology is already available for us; all we need to do is use it to our advantage. I suggest that you embrace things like doing a live video and hone your skills in marketing on social media.

Tip #2: Be more intentional about developing leaders on your team

- As leaders, we usually have this mindset that we must be on available 24/7. The catch is, to serve your team at the highest level you must become less available to them. Start working with your team and focus more on leadership development.

Tip #3: Be intentional about scheduling your business hours

- You need to set a dedicated time for work hours as well as family or self-time. Yes, you must be flexible in the needs of the business, but at the same time create those boundaries. Learn to create boundaries around your work and your personal life. Have that time of rest or simply a dedicated time with yourself, your spouse or your children.

In order for you to avoid burnout, understand the importance of rest and renewal, learn the importance of being intentional in your business, work smart and think about positive lifestyle outcomes.

83: The Speed of Implementation Apr 13, 2018

Show notes

In this 5-minute Friday episode, I will be sharing about Speed of Implementation.

Speed of implementation is basically the willingness to take what you learn and implement it by taking action; and this is one thing I notice successful people doing. On the other hand, this is also the number one reason others are struggling. They are just too slow to implement what they know and learn.

Most of us have a false assumption that people are decisive because they have it all figured it out. Well, here's the thing, they take action because it's the only way they're going to figure things out. Stop waiting until you feel ready because you will never feel ready. It's all about testing. Knowing what's going to work and what's not going to work.

The reality is, some people are going to say YES, and some are going to say NO, but that's OK. Don't let fear hinder you, and when you start to doubt, that's the time you take action.

Here is my challenge:

First, write down three things that you're going to implement in the next 7 days. Second, consume less and do more in the next 7 days. It's time to take action and put into play what it is that you've learned.

82: 5 Steps to Building Your Home Business Empire Apr 10, 2018

Show notes

Today's episode is a special interview with John Melton. I am very thrilled to have John on the show today because I know he will be sharing a lot of valuable insights about social media marketing.

Truth be told, there are a lot of social media marketers struggling in their business. There a a couple problems they have in common. One would be that they do not create enough generic value to attract people. Another would be that they're just thinking about themselves and what they can get from the business. So, in this episode, John will be sharing the 5 Steps to Building Your Home Business Empire.

Prospecting and Attracting Leads

Your goal is to set up your online presence, so you need to create one piece of valuable content every day. In order to create a following, you need to post something that creates curiosity. Share something inspirational, or contents that you have read in a book. You can also set your brand. What do you want people to know for?

Connecting with Leads

Once you have those leads, you must connect with them. Build relationships with those people who like, comment or engage with your posts. But the key thing is, don't be pushy. You want to be human first, marketer second; build that social equity with your contacts.

Inviting People to Look at Your Product/Business

After building rapport with your leads, you can then make an offer. But again, don't be pushy. You are there to give them information that will help them with their problems. Share your testimony on how the business or product changed your life. Face your fear of making an offer, just be bold in sharing what's going on.

Follow Up and Close

Following up is another essential key in building your home business empire. An effective way of doing this is creating a group chat for those people that are open and want to stay in touch. Have a group chat for those that are interested in your business/product because your prospects need to also meet other people within your circle.

Teaching Them How to Master the 4 Steps

The end goal is to be able to teach these steps to the new clients. Again, it's all about legacy leadership; helping people changed their lives and reaching their full potentials.

81: The Difference Between Being a Leader and a Top Performer Apr 06, 2018

Show notes

In this episode, I talk about the difference between a leader and a top performer. We usually have a notion that these two are synonymous, but the truth is, not all top performers are leaders and you don't necessarily have to be a top performer to be a leader.

Top performers aim for results but leaders aren't judged by their results. Leaders are judged by looking at their team.

So what are the qualities of a leader?

1. They lead by example

- What are you doing today to lead your organization? Leaders should be models, especially on the way they lead. As a leader, you must be intentionally working with your team.

2. They help lift up the people in their team

- Again, legacy leadership. It's all about developing others in your team. Take the spotlight off of you and put your people on stage. Leaders get more joy when their people win.

So, are you a leader or a top performer?
