EMPOWERED FAMILIES - TEAM SITE

A great question was posted on Facebook last evening on the Isagenix Business group.  I loved the question because for years and years I asked the very same question and I even still find that I ask myself at times and then I am reminded that everything starts with US and how WE show up. Maybe this question will help you with where you are at.  

Question:
Anyone else have tons and tons of isagenix customers but struggling to have like minded self starter type builders? 
Looking to duplicate myself but wondering the best approach. 

Those who have amazing builders, how'd u find them? Inspire them? And any advice of how to attract those types who WANT to work hard and have a vision of the business?

My answer:
To be transparent, it begins with us. We attract what we are, how we show up. It wasn't until last year (my 4th year) when I started to show up as the leader I wanted to attract. It took a lot of work to get myself to that place, but it changed the people that I was attracting into my business. 

Up until that point I was 100% attracting product users because that was my focus (my messaging and all), when I switched my messaging to be more about empowering others to create a lifestyle of their dreams and when I really went through some personal growth myself - everything changed. It will happen...just never give up and imagine who your ideal person is that you wish to join you...from there, become that person and the rest will happen. It is always a work in progress, keep showing up as the person you wish to attract. Cheers!

Are you selling shakes or are you SELLING THE DREAM? Maybe it is time to try a new approach!

I am so very excited for you. If you are reading this, you believe that you have potential to create the life of your dreams.  2013 is just about complete and with 2014 in view it is an open book, one that you get to create.  How was 2013 for you in Health, in Business, in Relationships, in Finances etc...?  Did you accomplish what you set out to accomplish or did your goals somehow get sidelined?  How do you feel?  Where can you improve to create a better year ahead, or is there something you deserve to re-focus on?  For me life is about learning from mistakes, about getting over my fears (one step at a time) for squashing my doubts and limiting beliefs and for continuing to improve myself along this incredibly rewarding journey called Life!  

As an entrepreneur, I know that as I improve my skills, increase my level of belief and as I continue being honest and supportive as a coach, everything improves.  As a leader for my team I also know that it is my responsibility to be transparent (not superficial), to be honest even when it is hard to develop other leaders (not to win friends) and to continue to learn and grow myself.  One thing that I continue to do is fail forward. Learning what doesn't work for me and being open to changing it is a decision I've made as I know doing the same thing over and over but expecting a different result is not going to help us move forward to a place we desire to go.  

A few areas that I intent to shift are in my leadership skills and also in my ability to "sell the dream".  Who doesn't want to believe their dreams can become reality?  As Jeffery Combs says in this podcast, many people stop dreaming at 25-30 years of age because they get into the "real world" after school and cannot see a way to earn more in their jobs with the amount of debt they have.  As a business owner in this Evolved Economy I am only just starting to "paint the picture" of another way, a plan B for those who know they can create the life of their dreams but just may not know how yet.  

If you are like most of us, you are focused on presenting our amazing products to your friends and family...yes, Isagenix products are a gift to us all...but don't be afraid to "sell the dream"...everyone deserves to live a life of their dreams and it is up to you and I to show them the way.  

I know what some of you are saying right now..."but I am not even making enough to pay for my products yet"...I know that, but do you KNOW where you are going?  Do you believe you are on a journey, going through a process to your own freedom day?  Because if you don't speak about where you are going, how can anyone join you?  

If you are ready, and I mean READY to take your business to an entirely new place next year...take time to listen to this podcast (the really great content starts about 5 minutes into this call).  You just never know WHO is waiting to hear from you.  I'm afraid to imagine where my life would be if my friend Vicki didn't share this gift with me 4 years ago.  You may just be the person that gives another person the gift of dreaming while they are awake!  http://jefferycombs.podomatic.com/entry/2013-12-18T08_26_12-08_00

Stare your fears in the face!

Ever been someone to allow fear to stop you from trying?  Did you give up on something because you had the fear stare right back at you in the face?  Why is it that fear is stronger at times than desire, goals, dreams?  Likely because fear can create control in your life.  Afterall, if you let your fears control you, it makes things easier – doesn’t it?  Say for example you have fear of failure.  If you are afraid to fail and you decide that fear is stronger than your desire to succeed…fear has won!  It has controlled you.  Hasn’t it?

So many people make excuses why they can’t or will not do something.  This is a form of control…and although you may be reading this saying, no it isn’t control, it is because I truly fear failing…take a deep breath and ask how your fears have helped you achieve success in the past.

Don’t let fear stop you from living your life as you deserve to.  Stop and STARE your FEARS right in the FACE!  Overcome them…how?  Push ahead, know that in order to grow and change and reach your desired goals, you MUST overcome some of your fears!  You MUST in most cases get out of that COMFORT ZONE!  In order to really live your life to the fullest, live your dreams – you have to be willing to overcome the things that are stopping you from personal growth.

Do yourself a favour…make a list of the things that you feel are stopping you right now in your life.  Then make a very honest attempt to decide how you are going to take the steps needed to push forward and breakthrough to your own success.  The life of your dreams is waiting…you are in the driver’s seat…don’t let fear take over the steering wheel!
