Today I’m sharing another episode of our “My First $1k” interview series, where I’m interviewing students of our Love Serve Grow™ program that not only have hit their first $1,000 commission month using what we teach them, but they have since been able to create consistent $1,000 months. Like in our last interview, today’s guest Patty shares her story of being stuck before joining Love Serve Grow™, making $400 to $500 in commissions each month. She talks about the struggle she faced by not knowing what to do to reach consistent $1,000 months, but how everything changed once she became a part of Love Serve Grow™ (spoiler alert: Patty also maintained $1,000 months for 5 months straight after first reaching that level)! As you’ll hear, Patty’s story demonstrates the importance of not just having the right plan, but having the coaching, community and support of the people around you to succeed. Making one or two little shifts in your business and doing things a little differently is what is going to unlock results for you too, so if you’re feeling a little alone, lost and confused right now, then this conversation is for you!

But if you’ve been in your business for a while, if you’re doing all the things that you’re supposed to be doing, and you’re still NOT earning $1k every month, then you need to acknowledge that you’re doing something wrong. To help you with this, I’m going to present a very different way of thinking that may sound counterintuitive, but if you shift your mindset and practices based on what I share in this episode, you’ll soon be selling and serving your way to $1,000 months. In the next episode, you’ll get a chance to hear from one of our students that hit their first $1,000 month working with us, and they’ll share how they did it, so make sure you tune into that one!

I break down the different categories of “apples” (aka prospects) and I reveal how to sell to them, and when not to.

434: My Thoughts on What's Happening With SEINT
Today I want to talk about what is happening right now with SEINT, a popular company in our space and one that I’ve worked extensively with. If you haven’t heard already, SEINT just announced that they are changing their compensation model to a pure affiliate model, which means that SEINT will be getting rid of the team building side and focus solely on product sales. This is a big deal and sad news for our profession, and I want to share my thoughts on it because as a company, it’s our mission to elevate the standards in this space. Not only by the way that all of us practice business, but also to hold the companies accountable by having some of the difficult conversions that need to be had, so we can educate you in what to look for in the companies that you align with. Although people are seeing this as a sign that our industry is falling apart, you’ll see why I think this could not be further from the truth. With the fear and uncertainty out there, I’ve spent the last few days gathering my thoughts so that I can speak to you about what is happening, and I went live to do that. Today, I’m re-sharing that livestream that I did here on the podcast. The big message I want to bring to the SEINT artists who are feeling afraid is that I’ve been through this situation myself twice in my career, and we’re here to support you. Whether you’re in SEINT or not, if you’re in this profession and serious about building a future in it, this is going to be a very important message for you to hear today. Listen to Learn 4:47 - The 3 specific things I want to accomplish by openly sharing my thoughts on this situation 9:33 - My message to SEINT artists and a reminder about the powerful choice you can make 11:08 - Why I am so thankful now that I had a similar thing happen to me twice before 13:39 - My advice when it comes to picking companies and what you don’t want to do 17:26 - How I know that our profession is not dying, but the ways in which it is absolutely changing 20:18 - The main problem I have with SEINT’s change in the compensation model they’re using 28:34 - What I see for the future of this space and the role that each one us has in making in better Follow me on Threads & Instagram at Subscribe to our

432: Changing Companies and Starting Over at 52
Today I have a special episode for you. I’m sharing an interview that I did with a client of ours who has been a really important member of our community for quite some time, Kim Lima. In this episode, Kim talks about her journey of starting over and changing companies, after she built a successful business over more than a decade with her previous company. You’ll hear how Kim did this in a season of big change in her life, and she reveals her thoughts before and after moving from a company that she no longer felt passionate about or aligned with. This wasn’t an easy decision for Kim to make at the age of 52, but not only did she make the move, but in less than a year she has been able to build a business that rivals the previous one she built over many years! This conversation Kim and I have is a very important one. I want to normalise the idea of changing companies, and this is something that not a lot of people talk about or it is often viewed as being something negative or bad to do. I don’t necessarily believe this is true, and as Kim’s story proves, there absolutely are certain times and situations when changing companies is the right thing to do. This is something that only you can answer for yourself, but what I feel really matters is the way you go about doing it, in the right way as Kim has done. If you’re considering making a change, hopefully this episode gives you the other side of the story to help you make an educated decision that is the right one for you and your family! As I’ve been sharing, I’ll be hosting a free 3-day workshop on July 23rd to July 25th called How to Revive + Monetize Your VIP Customer Group, and you can register now at ! Listen to Learn 5:32 - What ultimately led Kim to make the decision to go in a different direction with her business 8:22 - Although people often change companies for the wrong reasons, why this can be a positive move to make 10:32 - The way in which Kim set the tone with her company before leaving and why this was so important to her to do 13:12 - The mindset she had as she embarked on a new venture and why she says that betting on herself made all the difference 19:51 - A special ask for you regarding how you can support this podcast and its message 23:21 - How the groundworks Kim laid over the years led her to what she says is the perfect business for her and her customers 32:47 - What the record month she had looked like, and why she is upfront and honest about the months that aren’t record breaking ones 37:08 - Kim’s final thoughts and advice for anyone considering to make a move like she did Follow me on Threads & Instagram at Subscribe to our

422: My Thoughts on the Beautycounter Situation
Today’s show is a bit different… This episode is related to some news that very recently became public that Beautycounter, a respected and admired company in our space for many years, is shutting down. The reaction to this news that I’ve been made aware of has made me think of something that I absolutely hate about this profession, and that is the negativity in times like this and how certain individuals prey on the challenges and struggles of others. I was so fired up about this that I just did an Instagram Live about it, and I’m sharing the audio from that broadcast right here for you to tune into in case you missed it. Whether you’re a Beautycounter Brand Advocate or just somebody in this profession who wants to elevate the way you do business, this is an important episode.

If you do, you can put your business in a position to win BIG time, and it is my intention that this episode will provide you with the direction and support to do just that!
