Why I Made The Pivot To Social Selling

I remember exactly where I was. Ethan was around this big, and I had to get up and leave his game so I could head to a shoot. Walking away, I remember asking myself “𝘸𝘩𝘺 𝘢𝘮 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴?”⁣

it was time. ⁣

time to stop spreading myself thin.⁣

time to prioritize family again.⁣

time to say “no” so I could say “yes” to the things that really, truly mattered to me.⁣

time to figure out what worked financially so I could regain some precious time I’d lost.⁣

I know there are thousands of you who think that it’s ridiculous that I said yes to a direct sales business. you may doubt success, my story, doubt the thousands who share similar positive experiences. but, remember, success is relative. our versions of it can be different, and an income disclosure statement tells less than 1% of the story. I didn’t do this to pay off the mortgage, become a millionaire, travel the world or earn a luxury car. ⁣

As someone who missed Ethan’s first steps, went back to work full time when the babies were six weeks old, pumped milk in bathrooms between patient care and meetings, and cried myself to sleep most nights because the guilt was wrecking me— 𝙄 𝙙𝙚𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙘𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙜𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙢𝙚 𝙨𝙤𝙢𝙚 𝙩𝙞𝙢𝙚 𝙗𝙖𝙘𝙠. ⁣

I don’t say this to get you to “jump in,” I say it because despite your previous personal experiences with other companies or products you didn’t like— and despite the hate messages I receive 𝘥𝘢𝘪𝘭𝘺 🙄 from people who think I’m a predator, I hope you see me for who I truly am— a small town mom who simply (but desperately) needed more time. ⁣

we all deserve to find confidence and have the support when we decide to throw caution to the wind and try something new.

I’m so grateful I did. ❤️⁣

if this resonates, here’s the thing: it’s not too late, and this business can be for you, too, if you want it to be.

everyone starts off with no clue what they’re doing.⁣trust me. 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲.⁣

the girl with 1mil followers also had that day when she posted to Instagram for the first time—with zero followers.

the entrepreneur with 500k likes on her newest reel had a day where she spent entirely too much time figuring out that new feature before finally hitting “post.”⁣

action > consumption.⁣

action > comparison.⁣

action > reaction.⁣

What are you waiting for? Permission? Confidence? a free hour in your day?⁣

I hate to break it to you, but 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 isn’t coming. You could have the 👏🏼 world’s 👏🏼 most 👏🏼 elite mentor of all time give you permission, but if you don’t act... 🤷🏼‍♀️ then what?⁣

𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲? friend, that comes with repeated action consistently over time. ⁣

⁣𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗿 in your day? nope. you won’t have that free hour, no one does. it’s a shift in priorities you’re actually needing. ⁣

⁣𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘦𝘹𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨. 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨. one hour of purposeful movement a day can build and empire. ⁣

stick with it, and then a month from now? six months from now? 𝘢 𝘺𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘯𝘰𝘸? you’ll be the one showing others how you did it. ❤️⁣
