Your Virtual Upline Podcast

Did you know that by February 1st next year, 92% of people will already have given up on the goals they set for 2021? Pretty shocking right? And chances are, those people did exactly the same thing in 2020, and 2019, and 2018… Hey look, no judgement, right?! I know I was in that place – for a LONG time! I genuinely wanted change and growth in my business, and year after year I’d set myself big goals – but after only a matter of weeks, I’d find myself stuck, yet again.  Until I figured out where I was going wrong. There are 2 HUGE mistakes that hold people back when it comes to achieving their goals and what you need to be doing to avoid these 2 mistakes. And that’s exactly what we’re talking about in this week’s podcast. SPECIAL FREE TRAINING ON GOAL ACHIEVEMENT!!!

Do you have a passion for learning and growth?  Or do you have a hunger for approval? How you answer this question reveals exactly why you have the results that you do in your business. Your answer determines whether you have a Fixed or a Growth Mindset, according to Carol Dwek.  Here’s one simple difference between the two... People having a Fixed Mindset believe their talents and abilities are essentially set in stone – ‘You either have it or you don’t.’ On the other hand, people with a Growth Mindset believe that they CAN become better – that they’re a work in progress and can become more talented, intelligent, and skilled through time and effort. An even bigger differentiation between the two mindsets (and the major reason you’re holding yourself back!) is the way they view FAILURE. In this episode, I’m going to explore these two different mindsets and explain why your answer could reveal the reason why you haven’t built the business that you dream of.   Episode Quotes "People that possess a Fixed Mindset

Hey everyone! I know everybody is so excited with all kinds of promotions this Black Friday. But I bet a lot of you are already starting to slip into that SEFL-DOUBT and FEAR. Well, there is only one thing that will determine whether you win or lose this weekend - It’s the STORY that you tell yourself. It’s either you come out with the RED LIGHT STORY thinking – “It’s insensitive to sell products when everybody is affected by the pandemic.” OR... you can choose the GREEN LIGHT STORY knowing that – “People can’t leave home so they’re going to buy and spend more money.” Which path are you going to choose? I’m hoping you choose the GREEN LIGHT STORY. Go out there from a space of LOVE and SERVICE, and be proud of what you do.  If you have questions, text me at (215) 608-1454, and let me know what do you need help with, what issues are your struggling, and what topics you want me to cover in future episodes.

There’s a myth that runs prevalent in our industry that I’m here to prove wrong – Why is it we all believe that ‘the right’ prospecting scripts are the key to success when it comes to getting customers/recruits to your business? So many people spend SO MUCH time and money searching for the ‘holy grail’ - that one script that’s going to completely transform their business. But what if I tell you that prospecting scripts really and truly do not matter? Here is what I want you to know: What truly matters is the ENERGY and INTENTIONS behind those words and actions. In other words, it’s not the scripts that created the results; what matters is the PERSON that is using the script, who they are, and what they stand for. In today’s Biz Tip Friday, I’ll teach you how to have the right ENERGY and INTENTION in place so that you won’t worry anymore about scripts or how to ‘sound authentic’ when prospecting. If you have questions, text me at (215) 608-1454, and let me know what do you need help with, what issues are your

Are you ready to be a unicorn and stand out on Black Friday? If you’re feeling kind of anxious about promoting your business over Black Friday weekend … Let me tell ya, you are NOT alone! Sure, Black Friday is when a ton of people are looking to spend … but it’s also probably the hardest time of year to stand out from the herd and get sales! And the biggest reason why so many struggling network marketers DON’T stand out is this →  They’re selling their products solely on PRICE – and not on the VALUE they offer. However, if you want to be successful in your Black Friday promotions, you must be DIFFERENT. In this episode, I’ll share with you 5 marketing strategies that will make you stand out from all the competition and absolutely crush it this Black Friday!

Are you frustrated with the difficult people on your team? Well, here’s the truth about conflict -- If you’ve seen any level of success in this profession, then you’ve managed a difficult leader or two on your team.  As John Maxwell said, 25% of the people on your team will not be receptive. In other words, conflict is normal. However, here's the key to successfully moving past these issues… You can either take it personally and react with the difficult people on your team... OR... you can respond from love, see it through their eyes, and know that conflict is just a natural part of leadership. In today’s Biz Tip Friday, I’ll give you some very important advice on how to handle conflict with some of the most difficult people on your team. If you have questions, text me at (215) 608-1454, and let me know what do you need help with, what issues are your struggling, and what topics you want me to cover in future episodes.

One of the biggest traps I see so many struggling network marketers fall into is this →  They rely WAY too much on social media for their business. So they’re posting constantly, focusing almost all of their time on creating content, growing their following …  In fact, I’d bet the average “hobbyist” network marketer probably spends 75–80% of their time on social – it literally becomes a full-time job for them. But here’s what I want you to understand. Social media is NOT a business. Am I saying that mean social media isn’t important? Absolutely NOT. I honestly believe it’s the greatest marketing and lead generation tool you’ll ever have for your business, in your lifetime. But social media is just one piece of a MUCH bigger puzzle that most people don’t even understand exists. And if you don’t have the other puzzle pieces in place, you’re never going to grow a long-term business that’s truly your In this week’s eye-opening podcast episode, I want to share with you 3 things you can start focusing on TODAY, to

Are you stuck in an endless, awkward pattern of following up with prospects who have said NO? If you’re doing this, it’s time to STOP this approach. Weird follow-ups like this are nothing but weak, veiled attempts to pitch them all over again.  And the only reason it’s happening is because It’s because you’re reaching out with a SALES mindset. Now is the time to shift from a SALES mindset into a mindset of SERVICE. And in this Biz Tip Friday, I’m sharing with you exactly how to do that --- the fastest way to effectively turn NOs into YES’s. I promise, this strategy will help you overcome your fear of following back up with prospects and will get you the results that you want.

Do you ever feel you’re not getting the support you need in your business? That’s exactly how Anne-Marie was feeling about her company – and it was this struggle that I coached her through on an incredibly powerful Hot Seat call recently. Today, I’m sharing with you that live coaching session that I did with Anne-Marie from our advanced leadership coaching program called Next Level Leadership. Anne-Marie, is a mother of 3, born French-Canadian, and is currently living in Quebec. And while she’s built a phenomenally successful team in the US, she’s struggling big time to develop her business in French-speaking Quebec where she now lives. The big obstacle in her way, she feels, is that her company provides NO support materials in French. But as we chatted and worked through the issue, we figured that the real issue is not the lack of materials, but rather how she looks at the circumstances and creates the story in her mind. In this episode, you’ll hear us talk about how to let go of control, the value of delega

In this week’s Biz Tip Friday, I'll be sharing my Top 5 business productivity apps. These are ones that many of you have never heard of but absolutely need in your business whether it’s for social media content, managing prospect flow, scheduling, communication etc. #1 Trello (www.trello.com) Trello is a project management platform. You can use it for managing and keeping track of prospects, project management, and content planning for social media. #2 Slack (www.slack.com) Slack is a team communication platform that allows you to set up channels for leadership groups, challenge groups, daily accountability, etc. I think of it as replacing email. #3 Community (www.community.com) Community is a text messaging or text marketing platform that allows you to create a very powerful, intimate, direct way of communication with customers, team members, and prospects. #4 Bomb Bomb (www.bombbomb.com) Bomb Bomb is a video email marketing platform which I use to record videos right on my phone and send it by TEXT or EMAIL

We are smack dab in the middle of the craziness that is election season, and when someone shares opinions you passionately disagree with ... what will you do? Over the next couple of weeks your social media is going to BLOW UP with people’s opinions. The big question though is.. Why do we feel so threatened when others have different political view than us? And, why would it make us feel differently about them and respect them less? Every one of us will always have different opinions politically. But in every moment we also have the power to choose to act from a place of LOVE or FEAR. We can either RESPOND or REACT.  However, what happens most of the time is we immediately REACT... And the more reacting we do, the less empowered we are. In this episode, I’m going to show what it means to act from a place of LOVE. Why, as leaders, we must seek to first UNDERSTAND before being UNDERSTOOD. One of the most important qualities you will ever possess as a leader is your ability to lead and connect with people that a

Are you running nonstop on the ‘content treadmill?’  You’re hustling and bustling on social media…but it’s just not really translating into a growing team? Here’s the trap that most network marketers fall into... They do live videos (Facebook Live/Instagram Stories), they’ve got customers signing up, but what’s frustrating is they don’t seem to attract the best quality people. Here’s the #1 reason why:  They are focusing too much time creating content around their products. Here’s what I want you to do instead: Reinvent on how you show up on social media. And I share with you exactly how to do that on this week’s Biz Tip Friday podcast. I tell you, implement what I’m about to share with you, and you will be amazed by what it does for your business.

How can you break through weeks, months, or even YEARS of limiting beliefs…to finally build the business of your dreams? On today’s podcast, I’m thrilled to chat with Tami Cribbs, who is a phenomenal example to all of us of the power of not EVER giving up. Tami has been in the direct sales profession for 34 years, and during that time she’s been with 9 different companies. But she had still not experienced the kind of success and breakthrough that she had seen so many others experience. But she never gave up! Why? Because she had the overwhelming BELIEF that network marketing was what she was meant to do. This was her calling from God. However, Tami was also holding on to a whole bunch of other, conflicting beliefs about herself. Yes, she 100% believed this was the right path for her –  AND at the exact same time she was telling herself all kinds of Red Light Stories that were holding her back, like … ✘         “I’m not good enough”  ✘         “people don’t like me”  ✘         “I need to learn more before I c

How many of you have watched SOOOO many people come and go from their network marketing business?  And like myself, have you started to wonder WHY? Why do so many people fail in network marketing? The answer is quite simple -- these people treat network marketing as a HOBBY. ‘The Hobbyist’ is the overwhelmed, overworked, and underpaid network marketer, trying to ‘do it all,’ but feeling totally confused, and not able to produce any real, consistent results. The Hobbyist thinks, ‘Let me give this a try and see if it works…’ The hobbyist is not willing to COMMIT to the process of building a business and put in the necessary time and effort in the right activity during the early stages. Here are some of the main characteristics that describe The Hobbyist: Struggles with recruiting and building a team Fear and overwhelm are their 2 biggest enemies They possess a Sales Mindset in their business Focus most of their time on social media (think it IS their business) Held back by their past, no clear vision for their

Do you have major issues managing your time? You totally get that using your time efficiently and productively is necessary to grow your business, and you want to change, but, every single week, you are crash landing into Mondays. And here’s why – you have a wrong belief about time management. Struggling with time is NEVER a time issue. It is ALWAYS a priority issue. Here’s the mindset shift that I want you to make when it comes to your schedule - rather than thinking of it as a time management issue, you need to begin thinking of it as a struggle with managing YOURSELF in relation to time.    In this week’s Biz Tip Friday, I'll share with you my #1 strategy for increasing your productivity.   I’ll teach you exactly how you can create a structured plan for your week and how to set your priorities in your calendar. If you can do this one thing, I promise you will be better at managing your time and feel like you have so much more time to build your business and do the things that you love.   If you have questi

This is the ONE thing that keeps network marketers from experiencing success…even though they’re doing ALL the things. You’re doing everything that your upline taught you - doing the reach outs, using the scripts, working hard…but you’re STILL NOT seeing any results! There’s one reason and one reason ONLY why this is happening – and it’s the #1 thing that holds back so many people in this profession. You lack BELIEF in yourself. And when you lack belief – when you keep telling yourself those “red light stories” that you’re not good enough, not smart enough, not brave enough … You stay stuck. Because here’s the truth → negative stories produce negative results 100% of the time. Now, take a second and think about someone in your company that you aspire to be one day… I bet you’ll notice one thing about them and every other successful person…. They exude CONFIDENCE and BELIEF in everything they do. Understand that there’s no amount of hustle, attraction marketing, or anything else for that matter that’s ever goi
