In this episode, I’m diving into a problem that’s plaguing in our industry: mismanaged expectations. We have a lot of unrealistic expectations, which are often fueled by hype marketing like I talked about in the .

451: Are You Marketing Your Business With Heart or Hype?

Your Virtual Upline Podcast

Let’s be real: social media is packed right now with what I like to call “hype marketing.” You know the posts—“biggest launch in the history of network marketing,” “a compensation plan like nothing you’ve ever seen.” It’s constant. But here’s the truth: these tactics aren’t just overused; they’re actually driving people away and undermining your business’s credibility. If you’ve been caught up in this approach—maybe because it’s what’s being taught or you’re following what everyone else is doing—I want you to know that it’s ok and you can start doing...

More Episodes

Rodan + Fields recently announced that they will be changing their compensation model, which is unfortunately the second company in our industry to do this over the last few months. In this episode, I share the 3 important lessons that can be taken from this situation, because I want to shed light on these really important conversations that we need to be having.

If we want to grow and become better as a profession, while changing the way people look at us, we need more transparency around the business practices. Not just for the consultants, but the companies too. I hope you find this episode not only educational, but inspiring as well. And as always, I’d love to hear any thoughts or feedback that you may have.
