Your Virtual Upline Podcast

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. H

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.

Is Clubhouse the PERFECT biz-building tool for you?  Here’s how to get started! I have a confession for ya. I’m a little bit obsessed with Clubhouse! (Want these top 5 tips in a free PDF guide? Download it here!) You’re probably rolling your eyes right now, and thinking “What’s so special about Clubhouse? I’m hearing about it everywhere – but it’s just another social media platform, right?” That’s true – but Clubhouse is different. And I believe it could be a PERFECT platform to help you build your business.  So, why is it perfect for you?  Well, if you’ve listened to any of my podcasts, you know that I am all about being a servant leader first and foremost in your business.  And one of the ways we do this is by sharing value in any way we can…no matter if we are getting something in return.  And that is exactly what Clubhouse is all about. Most of us are focused on consuming rather than creating content that gives value to people. The true opportunity right now on Clubhouse is to build awareness for who you

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 an

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 succ

If you’re still struggling to see the results you want in your business … …there’s a good chance it’s how you think about success that’s holding you back. You see, most people see “success” as an outcome, an achievement, or a result.  So if they hit a big goal, or reach some arbitrary metric in their business, they think that’s success – and they feel validated and worthy when they achieve it. But here’s what I want you to realize. Any definition of success that’s so narrow it’s tied to a specific result is going to prevent you from fully showing up in your business the way you need to ... …because it’s rooted in scarcity and fear.  The moment your definition of success is rooted in SCARCITY and FEAR it holds you back from creating the results that you want. The purpose of your goal is NOT to hit the goal.  The true purpose of a goal is to stretch you – to help you become MORE in pursuit of that goal. Join me in this episode as I share the true purpose of having a big goal and what SUCCESS truly means.  

In today’s episode I share with you the greatest team building strategy that I’ve ever learned in my career.  It’s called TAPROOTING.  If you want to learn how to build new teams faster, create more duplication, and develop more leaders - this is the answer!  It’s a very different mindset when it comes to the topics of leadership and working with your team.  It’s based on this simple idea that the key to building teams is learning how to work THROUGH people, in-depth in your organization.  Doing this creates something called a ‘fear of loss’ motivation.  It’s WAY more powerful that the kind of motivation that most leaders use with their team.  There are few things in my business that had a bigger impact on me helping people become successful, and finding new leaders.  I can’t wait to share it with you in this episode!

Today’s #AskBob episode is inspired from one of our listeners on the new Clubhouse social media platform. I was asked the other day, “Bob, when do red light stories stop? This listener was doing ‘all the things’…including intentionally working on his mindset. But, red light stories keep popping into his thoughts. My answer: Red light stories NEVER stop. They will always be there waiting for you. But, the real problem is when we accept them as true. When we don’t challenge them at all. It’s when we believe the red light stories that we become stuck in our life and business. The goal, therefore, is not getting rid of them. It’s to stop believing in them. Join me in this episode, as I talk about why having red light stories is normal, and how to get unstuck by shifting your mindset, building your belief, and focusing on the positives.

Take a moment and ask yourself…   Are you showing up as a leader for your team members? Or as a friend? Many of us, out of FEAR, do not confront team members because we want to protect our friendships, and we crave to be accepted by people.   However, valuing FRIENDSHIP over LEADERSHIP is one of the greatest challenges that’s keeping you stuck in your business. Don’t get me wrong, relationships are the foundation for leadership – they are important. But you can’t allow them to get in the way of you actually leading your team. If you truly care about the people on your team, you are willing to trade off your own comfort and security for the untapped potential that lies inside of them. It’s time that you LEAD with LOVE. In this episode, I’ll teach how to overcome the relational roadblock so you can be the leader that people WANT to follow and that your team NEEDS you to be.

Do you want a business that gives youTotal Freedom?  You need these 4 keys to get there. If you’re somebody who struggles to create duplication in your team (which means YOU recruit prettily easily, but your new team members just can’t seem to do the same) it’s most likely because you have a problem with your onboarding system. And of all the systems you need, ONBOARDING is the most important. Here’s why… A properly designed onboarding system gives you the leverage when it comes to… Creating duplication in your team Developing strong, independent leaders The problem though is that most people EITHER do not have an existing onboarding system at all… OR they have an existing system but there’s WAY too much information…which overwhelms new people. Either way, you’ll find that duplication will break down, and you’ll never unlock the greatest gift of Network Marketing →  Residual income. Check out this week’s podcast episode now to discover the 4 essential keys to a super-effective onboarding system – and how yo

Are you getting the results you want in your business right now? Because if you’re not, I can almost guarantee you it’s for one reason only.  You’re operating from a Red Light “Core Story.” Your Core Story is the story you tell yourself, about YOURSELF. And it’s one of THE MOST IMPORTANT concepts we teach people under the new Legacy Leadership Academy program. A ‘Red Light’ Core Story is one that is based in FEAR and scarcity. One where you feel like you’re “not enough.”  You’re comparing yourself constantly to others ... and basing your belief in your future on your LACK of results so far. Are you operating your business from a place of fear and scarcity?  From your own personal ‘red light core story?’ If you want TOTAL FREEDOM in your life and business, this has to change… In our new program, I’ll teach you how you can rewrite Your Core Story and how to stop letting your story define you. Remember - Your future is NOT determined by your past.  So, maybe it’s time that you finally define your story. Enrollme

Do you want to see major progress in your business and make 2021 your breakthrough year?    YES!  You do! And the first step in making that happen is shifting your focus from TRANSACTIONS to TRANSFORMATIONS.   One mistake ‘Hobbyists’ do is spend so much time on the front-end activities of their business doing attraction marketing, creating content for social media, and personally selling and recruiting. This TRANSACTIONAL approach, focusing almost solely on front-end CONVERSIONS, can make you money. BUT… it will never grow you a real business and give you total freedom. The only way you will achieve that goal is when you focus on RELATIONSHIPS and TRANSFORMATION. In this Biz Tip Friday, I’ll share with you my #1 business growth strategy for 2021 and the top 3 things that will help you create an environment for your customers and team members that is SO GOOD that they can’t help but get results!

Today’s episode is sparked by an official post made by Tik Tok, and I quote... “Do not post upload or share content that promotes ponzi, multi-level marketing, or pyramid schemes.” Does that sound like a platform that’s in favor of our profession? NOPE! Tik Tok apparently hates network marketing, and that might be true with other social media platforms. But, we keep hearing, “TikTok is where it’s at! You HAVE to be on TikTok to grow your business!” Hey listen – I’m not knocking TikTok. In fact, TikTok could be a super-powerful tool to help you build an engaged following and create awareness around your products and business. However, the mistake I want YOU to avoid is to focus too much on social media and end up neglecting the key areas that’s actually grow your business and give total freedom. Again, social media isn’t a business. It’s a marketing tool. It’s just one piece of the puzzle. And if you want to build a REAL BUSINESS that someday gives you financial freedom, you MUST shift your focus to the other

Do you need to shift your personal perspective?  So that you are FREE to build your business in love and abundance? I see network marketer’s make this mistake all of the time – they attach their own self-worth and value to the success or failure of people on their team. So if a team member doesn’t reach their goals, or loses rank and falls behind, they BLAME themselves. Today’s episode is a live coaching session with Joanie, one of our LLA students, who experienced that exact mindset. Joanie had seen success in her business. However, over the last 12 months she’s been having issues in recruiting new people in her team - being able to personally sponsor just 3 people. She realized it wasn’t just a byproduct of lack of effort, but more of the red light stories about herself and her own leadership capabilities, including if she could even grow her team while caring for her family as well.  Join us in this live coaching session as we tackle the limiting beliefs around leadership, why identifying the core story is
