11. Network Marketing is NOT the Only Business Model For Teachers30 Oct 201900:11:11

Many teachers looking for a way to replace their teaching income turn to mlms/network marketing/direct selling.

It becomes the first time they were actually able to dream.  They see others having success, living their dream, and doing big things.

For the first time in a long time they feel like they are able to dream.

It’s a great place to start, but it’s hard to make consistent, sustainable, recurring revenue quickly.  (This is why you see many top network marketers selling online courses.)  

Now this is NOT a podcast where I am going to bash network marketing because that’s where I started too.  However now that I’m on the other side I have learned a few things.

You might be someone who has joined a network marketing company because the products are amazing or you saw someone else have great success and you’ve been chasing that too.

Maybe you’re making thousands per month or maybe barely even hitting a hundred dollars.

Maybe you’re sending messages that feel icky to you but you are doing it for your dream.

But… what else could you do? 

Tune into this podcast as I give you an idea of something else you can do that doesn't involve network marketing.

5. Why Your Business May Be Failing11 Sep 201900:09:08

Being a business owner can be hard.  When I first started in business I thought if I just did what my coaches and mentors told me to do I would be successful, but the truth is there are SO many more things that are required in order to be successful.

I’m not talking about email marketing, social media marketing strategy, or getting more leads.  I’m talking about three reasons why your business may be failing that you probably haven’t heard or thought of before.

101. 4 Ways to Get Clarity and Start Taking Action27 Sep 202300:09:43

I’ve talked to many business owners lately who have been lacking clarity so I thought it would be a good thing to bring up in the podcast. If you find yourself what I like to call ‘spinning your wheels’, struggling to take action, struggling to get things done, and struggling to make decisions, you likely are struggling from lack of clarity.

Many of the people I talk to know they need to redo their course or program. They know it needs an uplift of some sort but they are lacking the clarity or confidence to do so. If this is you, send me a DM on IG (@shesbuildingadream) and I’ll give you the secrets for making a course more effective.

77. How to Set the Goals You Can Achieve In Your Business08 Mar 202300:11:11

Goal setting feels so 'new yearsish'… and while this episode is coming to you a few months into the new year, I think now is a great time to talk about it.

Maybe you’re like me… you set one really big goal every single year. People told me to set a good goal, better goal, and best goal. So I did. Year after year.

Most times I felt like it was a crazy number I was pulling out of thin air that barely made any sense. I knew it was the goal but I honestly couldn’t really see the finish line. I couldn’t see how to get there.

Until I learned more about setting quarterly goals. Now I know what you are likely thinking, “take my 2023 goal and divide it into 4 for the four quarters of the year”. 

I wanted to share with you a better way. Setting goals this way helped blow up my business in 2022.

This way will be more attainable and help you to feel accomplishments all along the way.

You might want to grab a pen and paper. If you’re listening in. We will also post this in the show notes here.
