Ep 40: Overcoming Being Paralyzed By The Lie Of Perfection

Ep 40: Overcoming Being Paralyzed By The Lie Of Perfection

I talk to a lot of business builders about what holds them back. Why do they drag their feet when doing things that they know will grow their business?
 
Their reply 9 times out of 10 always has to do with some sort of fear…. But when I really think about fear – isn’t fear present in our minds because we are always chasing perfection?
 
The perfect headshot, the perfect caption, the perfect grid, the perfect sales page, the perfect email… and producing the perfect product.

If I’ve heard it once I’ve heard it 100x times…. “If I could just motivate my team I’d reach (my goal).”

This is usually heard on repeat in the direct sales industry when you’re trying to reach some sort of goal where you need more sales for the month in order to reach a volume or title goal. If you’ve ever tried to manage any sort of team before I know you’ve said it to.

Ep 37: Two Ways To Leverage Your Influence

Ep 37: Two Ways To Leverage Your Influence

For the last year, I’ve been focused on teaching women how to leverage their influence to monetize their brand. 

What it comes down to is I believe your brand influence is made up of your layers and layers of pivots, life cycles, lessons, and experiences. When you communicate this you create influence.

And the more people you can empower with your influence.

Today on this episode I want to share with you TWO ways that I teach business builders to leverage their influence no matter what kind of business they are building or have yet to start creating.
