Your Virtual Upline Podcast

As you may have heard, recently Beachbody was the latest company to announce that they are moving away from their current business model to affiliate only, and essentially eliminating the incomes of all of the leaders and coaches that have built businesses with them over the years. Today, I want to use Beachbody as an important case study of what we are seeing happening across the profession today, and ultimately, what’s wrong with our profession today. In this episode, you’ll hear what this situation means for our profession, and I share the key lessons that we can pull from it that demonstrates what we need to do better. This is an important conversation to be having, because if we don’t learn from this, I guarantee you that unfortunately we will continue to see more of this type of thing happen. While challenges lie ahead, I firmly believe our brightest days as an industry are still to come. We may face rough seas, but rest assured, we’ll be here to help you navigate through them.

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 ha

I’m excited to introduce Renee, a dedicated Love Serve Grow™ student. Renee shares her transformative journey, detailing how, after 12 years in her profession—mostly with one company—she had only managed to achieve a $1,000 commission month only a few times, primarily during Black Friday sales. Before discovering Love Serve Grow™, Renee's average commission ranged from $500 to $700. Quite frankly, she felt stuck with the strategies taught by other training programs… In this episode, Renee discusses how Love Serve Grow™ gave her an authentic approach and helped her break through her previous income barriers. Not only did she achieve her first $1,000 month organically, but she also sustained this success for several months following our program. Stay tuned for the next episode, where anothe

Last week I talked about how you can achieve your first $1,000 commission month, and this week I want to address the biggest mistake that is holding people back from earning $1,000 each month. And that’s trying to grow a team. Now I’m not telling you not to build a team. 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 hea

If you’re not currently earning $1,000 commission checks CONSISTENTLY in your business, you’re not alone.

Today I’m sharing an interview with you that I recently did with one of our community members, and someone that has been a long-time listener and supporter of this podcast, Kristen Glass. In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to be a leader, as this is something I’ve been exploring a lot on the podcast lately. Kristen and I specifically talk about the power of faith as it relates to leadership, and we look at the role of bravery and why this is so important to have when you’re starting out in business or navigating challenging times as an entrepreneur. Kristen is somebody that I respect and admire, because she is someone that truly embodies being a LOVE-LED™ leader. Like what we teach our students to be inside Love Serve Grow™. I hope you get a ton of value from this conversation with Kristen, and that her story inspires you to think bigger in your business as you step into that vision of what the next season of your life will look like!

Today I want to talk about what I consider to be the single, worst piece of advice that’s being given to network marketers today. Although this piece of advice makes the grass look greener, I’m here to show you how it really just dilutes your focus that you should be putting on your business.  This episode is your reminder to put your blinders on, stay focused through the ups and downs, and to think long-term about building your business!

Today I want to talk about a common mistake that is made with good intentions, and one that I see people doing so often when they’re recruiting someone to their team. I was teaching my son how to ride a bike the other day and it made me realise something about leadership. Let me share with you what is really required when building a business and growing a team in the right way. This conversation is all about how to not get stuck limiting your team members and your business, and I hope it helps you on your own journey!

In this episode, I explain this analogy and share the lesson that I learned early on in network marketing. I have been teaching this analogy to others from the very beginning of my career. I break down the different categories of “apples” (aka prospects) and I reveal how to sell to them, and when not to. Your ideal prospects are in your audience and on your contact list right now, but you just haven’t found them because you’re not proactively reaching out and starting conversations with them each day. That’s what I want this episode to help you with! Listen to Learn 3:28 - How the red apples are your hot prospects, and what to understand about this group of people  6:41 - A look at the rotten apples and what you must do with them 8:17 - The two big things to focus on when having conversations with prospects  9:31 - A special ask for you regarding how you can support this podcast and its message 10:47 - The amount of time you should be spending trying to convince someone who is clearly not a fit for your busin

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.

Today I’m introducing you to one of our students, Jess Touchette. She took her VIP customer group that she wasn’t using and turned it into a profitable tool for her business using our key strategies that we teach inside our program! Over the last 3 years, Jess has shown up differently in her group and as a result, she has seen major growth! She has more engaged members, and is making $2K to $3K in sales a month from her group alone! In fact, right now her VIP group is the number one business building tool that Jess has, with a thriving community of over 1,700 people that she loves spending time with and serving. In this episode, Jess reveals exactly how she did it. If you’re feeling frustrated and wondering if your group is something you should be focusing on, I hope this conversation with Jess will inspire and educate you!

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

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
