Thank you.
Thank you.
I was wondering who to thankand I had a feeling it was you.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I'm glad you realized there's been a lot that's
happening.
It's funny because I'm seeingpeople like you see these things
on Instagram.
That's like 2021 shocked me 23this, but 2024 is when I'm going
to get my mojo back.
I see that every year.
I know I was like I didn't knowthat 2023 was so dastardly,
except it kind of was.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I think it kind of could be for some yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, it's kind of a curmudgeon.
I remember my word was for thisyear.
I need to find it before theyears out.
I've got, I have a few moredays.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Okay, while you do that, I'm going to try to pull
it up.
Let me see if I wrote it in oneof the podcast show notes.
I know it's somewhere.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I know you're out there somewhere.
However, as we look back on thisyear, let's take a look at
where network marketing has gone, where social selling has gone,
what has been going on and thisis a chance for you to
personally look at your, youryou reflect as well about your
personal journey.
But wow, it's been a doozy inthe industry, like, literally,
if you think about 2020 to now,hello, whiplash up down Rola
(02:33):
Coaster, rola Coaster of love.
I don't know if it was overcool.
It's been a tough year.
It's amazing that we've beenacting like we're like
recessiony, inflationy, I don'tknow.
We've been just acting in aweird way.
Typically, when there's when theeconomy turns away it has this
year it means it's that there'san influx for network marketing.
(02:55):
Lots of people come and joinand they want to be part of it.
That didn't happen this year.
This year, things got harder.
This year was a really arestrictive time Lots of layoffs
and companies.
If you think my company didn'tlay anybody off, probably look a
little deeper.
They probably did.
Some of the big names had somemajor, major layoffs and I get
(03:18):
that.
They don't always like sharethat with the field, but they
grew so much for 2020 that theyhad to construct and people
aren't buying in the same waythey were before, so that was
one thing that was like whoo.
Also, though, from a fieldlevel, from a distributor level,
a lot of people left more thanthe typical number left the
(03:41):
industry, and not as many camein to replace that.
So that's an interesting likeokay, that freaked other people
out and I think when you getthat, you go ahead, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I was gonna say we did two episodes on his network
marketing dying, so there wasenough of a freak out that we
felt we had to address it twotimes Freak out Exactly, you're
not wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And what we saw when people feel like this nervous
energy of, oh my goodness, acouple of things, People either
leave the industry or they jumpto another company, or they say
dormant and just focus onsomething else.
And I know there is this needfor money, which okay.
So when there's this panic,people do different things.
Some of you buckle down andyou've been buckling down and
(04:27):
we'll talk about that and thecoolness about that.
Some of you say you just stayand put or you quit, and then
some of you go on to somenefarious things.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yes, do you recall our conversation about MRR, mrr,
mrr, mrr, mrr MICKEY, don'tdefame the mouse.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, he's the love.
The new Mickey Mouse Club sogood.
That's where I fell in lovewith JC from In sync.
Brittany was on there,christina was on there.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Ryan.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Gosling was on there, Carrie Russell.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
He was.
I actually saw that.
Yeah, I mean this was a bitbefore my time, of course, it
was Such a tiny fetus.
He looks so nerdy.
Yeah, he looks so nerdy, buthe's cute.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And then, yeah, timberlake was on there too,
whatever, anyway.
So MRR cropped up.
A lot of you left MRR now sincethen, because the money just
isn't consistently there, ormaybe we should be.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I don't see the posts anymore, and I don't know if
it's because the algorithm hascaught up and realized like
we're not showing these posts,or if y'all just decided this
was a bad plan.
Total hoax total hoax.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It's okay, it's all right.
But you also saw big leaders dothings and get terminated from
companies because they weretaking, you know, trying to do
all sorts of things theyshouldn't have been doing.
So it wasn't just on the levelof, okay, I'm starting up, I
need to make money.
Some of the big name peoplewere like, okay, I'll use this
time to try and take everyone toa company I'm gonna build
(06:01):
myself, and there's lawsuits andall the things and it's like
this is a soap opera.
They should do the realhousewives of network marketing.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Oh my gosh you know we'd watch that, oh, I'd totally
watch it.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I'd be, like I would be a supporting cast member.
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Like the friend of a friend of, maybe a friend of yes
because then also goes overthere and like whispers to so
and so and you're the rumor mill, like you're just spreading it.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I'd be like I don't know if you watch Vanderpump,
but I'd be like Lisa's husbandwho come in.
I can't believe the TomSandoval that Rachel spent the
night at Tom Sandoval's house.
Then he walks out like clearlythat was a plan, so walk through
the room.
I can't believe.
That's not the best.
(06:50):
That is funny.
So what has it been like foryou?
We're curious, like what havebeen the highlights?
We'd love for you to tell uswhat have been the highlights in
the low lights, because, listeny'all, it's okay to have low
lights.
Think about hair.
I don't know much about thosethings.
My hair's a whole different.
By the way, you should see thestory that I posted last.
(07:10):
Ooh, okay, it's a phrase, it'sfunny.
It's a black hair, funny, funny, but it's funny, yeah, about
hair shrinkage and it's justfunny.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Oh, I did see that and I didn't know what it was.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You didn't understand , I know, I know.
No, I was like is Roxanne.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Oh, she cut her hair.
I'm gonna use.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
For my black ladies and men and people of color.
It's this meme and it says Iunderstand that shrinkage is
good, but do I always have tolook like this after a wash day?
And it's a picture of Samuel LJackson, like probably from Pulp
Fiction Time.
It's just hilarious, causethat's what happens.
(07:50):
It's just all goes like.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Even with like cause, you have hair extensions in.
No, not this.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
But when I take this out and my hair is probably like
past my shoulders and on a washday after I wash it, zoop, it's
like so short.
Yeah, it's like that's not astyle.
Yeah, anyway, it's funny so.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Low lights for us nine.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Low lights are important cause I know like
people do those too.
I got my highlights and my lowlights right.
You need both, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
The highlights don't look higher with the lows.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You need both For our hairstylists.
We have some hair gurus.
Listen, explain us thehighlights low light thing.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
But it is important.
We must know, and we must knowPeople spend money for it.
Yeah, I've got dark hair.
So, and even when I had redhair, we don't did we, we just
balayaged.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Is balayage another name for low lights?
Do we know?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
No, it's like.
I think it's another word forhighlights.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You like make a shape , so it's not like a highlight,
like it's not foil, it's foil.
It's very hard to explain, Idon't know Well.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
for those who understand what we're talking
about better than we do, explainit to us.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
But you need the low lights.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
You need the shade.
Yeah, I was sick after our tripto Boston.
I got sick, got sick and thenafter I was like because I don't
get sick often, I'm like, oh,breathing meant more to me,
mm-hmm, not coughing.
The little things, the littlethings, you appreciate them so
(09:22):
much more when you have a lowtime.
I hate to say it, but it's true.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, like rolling over in bed.
I was sick last week and it waslike the whole body aches and
like even just rolling over inbed felt like such a big thing.
I was like, oh no, it's time toroll over.
You have to think about everymove, right, yeah yeah, the word
that comes up for me for likethis year, as just a general, I
(09:47):
think, is resilience.
You should show, oh sorry, ohwell that, but like I think
we're still taking it in stride.
And for those who are like allin and their business, obviously
you're the ones listening,right, so you're resilient,
you're pushing through.
The tides change all the time,and we saw how quickly they went
up and maybe trickling down.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
But I think that's what I love about that You're so
right Is when I talk to myclients because my clients go
through all the things.
They've had the highs, the lows, the ones who are resilient,
plumbing that is that I see thathas been great as a work.
Okay, we pivot.
Okay.
So this is going on.
What are we going to do?
Well, the pivot has been tocustomers because, honestly, if
you really think about it y'all,if you're not feeling good
(10:32):
about your business, if you'reseeing your team dwindle, if
you're seeing your paycheckdwindle, how can you sit there
and look at someone and go?
You should totally join, youcould, you could make back your
money this month and you'd belike come on now.
You don't believe it.
Even if you're saying it, whichI hope you're not, if you don't
believe it, it's not comingacross right.
But what you can do is what didyou fall in love with?
You fell in love with theproduct.
(10:53):
You believe in the product.
So you can say the Stanleywater bottle is amazing because
you never flipped it over, younever spilled it, but it's
amazing because of all thesethings and you can sell the
Stanley water bottle.
I'm holding one of my hands forthe two listening.
So that's what I've loved aboutit is those have been pivoting
and be like okay, I'm going tofocus on my customers and I'm
(11:14):
going to build my customer baseand I'm going to figure out what
their problems are and how myproducts can solve them.
And they're seeing greatresults.
They're seeing money come in ona regular and y'all I know I've
said it, but I'm going to sayit again If you're looking for
consistent money while you'rebuilding your team or growing
your business, consistent moneycomes from customers.
(11:35):
I don't care what anybody elsesays.
Consistent money comes fromcustomers.
Customers are more consistentand more reliable than anyone
you'll put on your team, becauseyour team members you do not.
You have you very littlecontrol of any one period, but
your team whoever's on your teamis going to do what they do
when they feel like they'regoing to do, when they do it
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
And they might jump ship to another team.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
They might different company.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yes, they're going to stop altogether.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yes, and if you're banking your paycheck on them,
you're banking the wrong way.
I know that there are some bigcompanies who are changing,
who've changed their comp planover the last year to try and
encourage you to recruit, butyou have to remember everything
is based on what is it in forthem?
Yes, they want more people.
They've lost tens of thousandsof 20,000 consultants.
(12:20):
Yes, they want more.
But you have to also thinkabout what is the best for you.
And if you are like, if I have10 customers, it's going to look
like this, and if I have 20,it's going to look like this
Work on your customer base,especially when times are like
blah and the other will come,the rest will come.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, and it'll probably.
Who knows what 2024 is going tobring.
Maybe our advice is going tochange and we're going to
encourage you to recruit.
Yeah, but right now in thisseason, after looking at
everything of what's going onright now in this season,
customers, customers, customers,customers.
We might always say that, but Iwas going to say you left the
door open to you.
You left the door open, just incase.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
You left it just in case.
But focusing on your customershas been a beautiful thing.
The other thing that we'reseeing the rise of is affiliates
and network marketing.
Companies are trying to figureout how to make that happen, how
to make the affiliate thing athing.
They're trying and they'rehaving a hard time, because
here's two reasons A, becausethey have this okay, yeah,
(13:17):
become an affiliate, and it'sstill like it's.
I don't want to say it's a wolfand sheep's clothing, cause
that's not fair, but it's like Iknow.
Have you seen those state farmcommercials?
Love them, with the guy who'strying to teach your parents,
like, how to be trendy and howto acclimate.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
They're hilarious.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
It's like that, like network marketing is the old dog
and affiliate marketing is thenew dog.
It's like okay, yeah, I'm hip,I'm the network marketing person
trying to.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
she can do affiliate stuff and he's like, no, don't
do that.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Like don't Just let it be separate, exactly.
And so there's so much trying tobuild the affiliate program on
top of the network marketingprogram as opposed to making a
separate wing, that there havebeen some hiccups and things.
And from your side as aconsultant, you're sitting there
(14:10):
going, yeah, I become anaffiliate, but you're thinking
to yourself, but I don't make asmuch off the affiliate.
And then you're quickly tryingto tell them but you know what,
if you do this, you can actuallymake more money if you build a
team.
And what you're notunderstanding is the people who
are interested in affiliatemarketing do not want network
marketing.
They don't.
So when you say that to themand you start making it
(14:31):
confusing, convoluted,convoluted as network marketing
let's be real, though thecomplaint, all things can be you
start to lose them.
And so I think, if you're incorporate, what I'm telling you
now listen to me is this ifyou're gonna be doing an
affiliate marketing program, youneed to really educate your
(14:51):
leaders, your mid-level and yourtop-level leaders into the
benefits of that and how toguide and lead that, or you
don't put your affiliates on ateam, but of course that has
issues too, because then yourfield's gonna be mad at you.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It just sounds messy to me.
My little brain is like what'sthe actual point?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
To get more.
For who?
The corporate?
For myself.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Well, yes, yes, but I'm gonna like and Money, money,
money money, money.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, the thing is, you see all these products that
are going viral on Instagram andTikTok, and if I'm a network
marketing company that has agreat product, I'm like I want
it on that too, so I get it.
But you have this disconnectbecause your product, you've
been selling it in a differentway and so it'll be interesting.
(15:46):
They're trying to figure it out.
They've gotta figure it out.
I think they have to figure itout if they want to be relevant,
because what we know is, since2020, institutions are changing,
are crumbling.
Let's be real.
They're crumbling and a newsomething is coming in in the
next few years, and if you're anold institution, you're gonna
(16:08):
have to figure out how to pivotor you're gonna crumble.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Like target.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Do you think targets crumbling?
Tell me more.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Actually, yes, I do.
I was just talking about thisthe other day to someone I don't
know, maybe my husband, ormaybe Davey no one else is here.
Target used to be like a placewhere I felt like had high
standards and was clean.
It was like the place to go.
And now I go, and maybe it's aNashville thing.
(16:42):
We literally have like seventargets, that I can go to, but
they are always messy andthere's never carts anymore.
Like it's starting to give meWalmart vibes, wow.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yeah, I went there.
So my sister lived in Nashvilleso I can ask her which ones are
good, but it's been decadessince she's been there.
But what I will say is thisit's funny you bring up Target,
because Target and Disney havehad a PR problem over the last
year.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh yes, I forgot, target did.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, and I don't know that they are going to be
able to quickly bounce back.
I don't know how Target wasn'tas bad as Disney's.
Disney has had a lot of PRissues and I think they used to
have a score.
I was listening to a podcast.
Their credibility score wasfive, which was amazing, and now
they're down on the list Likethey were fifth and now they're
(17:37):
like 50 something.
Good luck coming back from that.
So I think those areinstitutions and listen, I love
Disney, I love Target, y'all, soI'm not berating either of them
.
Actually, I don't really shopat Target.
I say that, but I don't reallyshop at Target.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
No, we shop at Target .
I'm literally a Target.
One stress a week.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
My sister is like she one sister is Costco, the other
sister is Target.
But I don't really I appreciateTarget.
I don't really shop there,isn't that weird?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Hmm, yeah, I've been considering.
I'm like is it time?
Am I up leveling to Costco?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Well, that's just a mass product.
It's not that you're upleveling because you need more
of everything.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And I don't, so maybe not.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Maybe I should just stop shopping.
Costco's not cuter than Target.
It's a warehouse, that man.
They've got some good stuff atgood prices.
You should see thoserefrigerators, man.
I think it will be interesting.
It'll be interesting, who knows?
But you have to up level andy'all.
(18:37):
If you're with a company that'snot up leveling, you need to
check and see if they are, andif they aren't, you need to be
concerned.
I'm just gonna tell you, youneed to be concerned.
If they're doing the same old,same old, they are in trouble
and that means they're goeventually.
Your business is going to be introuble, especially if you're
relying on teams.
If you're relying on a team,then your team to lead the way
(19:02):
for you, then you're gonna havea hard time.
Products, sure, customers.
It will take longer for that todissipate, but you may find
it's harder to get new clientsin.
I mean, let's take like Rodinand Phil.
It's a great example.
They're regimens, they'reregimens, they're regimens.
Well, listen, they've had theregimens and no disparity in the
(19:23):
regimens are great.
Kudos to y'all.
But when you see differenttrends in the beauty industry,
where people are doing differentthings, like okay, now we're
doing double washing, was itdouble cleansing?
And doing these differentthings and these different
serums or masks, for example, ifyou're not keeping up with it.
(19:43):
Great example a few years back,grinningfields didn't have any
masks and you have all thesecool masks going on where people
are taking them off their face.
Everybody loved that theydidn't have masks and they came
out with masks and it was like apasty mask, like not the same
thing, like you have to keep upwith the trends, because if
you're like here's my tried andtrue four steps or five steps,
it's okay, but it's not sexy.
(20:05):
And if you think people aren'tlooking for the shiny toy, then
you're confused.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
We buy on feelings.
We buy on what we want.
We buy.
Yes, you can logically tell meeverything why I need this
regimen, but there's still thatfactor.
There is, but I want the maskthat pulls off my face, don't
you?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Who doesn't want that ?
Ooh, it pulls off my face.
It's like the foot stuff thatlike pulls like your skin like
comes off.
People wanna try at least once.
We'll try it, yeah yeah, that'sfunny.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
So let's, can we switch to our year in review,
cause I feel like we both havebig years, so maybe that can be.
Our behind the scenes is Okay,you go first, me go first, okay,
okay.
So at the beginning of thisyear 2023, we pulled our kids
from preschool and daycareprogram and decided to
homeschool, and we are stillhomeschooling and I love it.
(20:56):
Yeah, we almost opened arestaurant this year.
That was this year still yes, wegot like the lease and like the
final paperwork and we didn'tlike it.
And so, even though we had gonethat far, we decided to say no.
And a week later is when myhusband got that job offer for
the seasonal position onMackinac Island, with housing
(21:20):
for us.
So we took it.
We spent April to September onMackinac Island and then found
out this company that offeredhim the job also owns like a ton
of Hiltons all over America.
So Jeremy applied and got a jobin Nashville.
We sold our house, which we aresigning the papers to, maro.
(21:42):
Yay, finally, congrats.
And here we are.
That's the year.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Not much going on with you is what I heard.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Not much, you know, just a few little changes.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah, wow, okay, that's a lot in one year.
Yes, that's a lot, yes, okay.
So just you know, yeah, that'sa lot.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Oh, and we also redid our whole basement at our house
too.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
We did to sell it to someone else.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
To then turn around and sell it.
Never got to enjoy it, not once.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Not once, because you were in Mackinac.
I was finishing up, oh goodness.
So I last year I don't knowwhat I did at the beginning of
the year I spent I was weddingplanning, obviously, and was
able to go back and forth toArizona once the dress came in,
like every other week for thedress fittings, which was such a
(22:31):
wonderful time to spend with myfamily.
Like I just loved that so much.
In fact, when the wedding came,I was sad because I'm like like
when I went to the lab I waslike this is so bittersweet.
So we did that.
We got married.
We did that marriage thing.
We went to the Bahamas, had thewedding of our dreams.
It was phenomenal and wonderful.
So that took us to July.

So you're welcome everybody.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Thank you.
Thank you.
I was wondering who to thankand I had a feeling it was you.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
I'm glad you realized there's been a lot that's
happening.
It's funny because I'm seeingpeople like you see these things
on Instagram.
That's like 2021 shocked me 23this, but 2024 is when I'm going
to get my mojo back.
I see that every year.
I know I was like I didn't knowthat 2023 was so dastardly,
except it kind of was.
Speaker 2 (01:51):
I think it kind of could be for some yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Yeah, it's kind of a curmudgeon.
I remember my word was for thisyear.
I need to find it before theyears out.
I've got, I have a few moredays.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Okay, while you do that, I'm going to try to pull
it up.
Let me see if I wrote it in oneof the podcast show notes.
I know it's somewhere.
Speaker 1 (02:09):
I know you're out there somewhere.
However, as we look back on thisyear, let's take a look at
where network marketing has gone, where social selling has gone,
what has been going on and thisis a chance for you to
personally look at your, youryou reflect as well about your
personal journey.
But wow, it's been a doozy inthe industry, like, literally,
if you think about 2020 to now,hello, whiplash up down Rola
(02:33):
Coaster, rola Coaster of love.
I don't know if it was overcool.
It's been a tough year.
It's amazing that we've beenacting like we're like
recessiony, inflationy, I don'tknow.
We've been just acting in aweird way.
Typically, when there's when theeconomy turns away it has this
year it means it's that there'san influx for network marketing.
(02:55):
Lots of people come and joinand they want to be part of it.
That didn't happen this year.
This year, things got harder.
This year was a really arestrictive time Lots of layoffs
and companies.
If you think my company didn'tlay anybody off, probably look a
little deeper.
They probably did.
Some of the big names had somemajor, major layoffs and I get
(03:18):
that.
They don't always like sharethat with the field, but they
grew so much for 2020 that theyhad to construct and people
aren't buying in the same waythey were before, so that was
one thing that was like whoo.
Also, though, from a fieldlevel, from a distributor level,
a lot of people left more thanthe typical number left the
(03:41):
industry, and not as many camein to replace that.
So that's an interesting likeokay, that freaked other people
out and I think when you getthat, you go ahead, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I was gonna say we did two episodes on his network
marketing dying, so there wasenough of a freak out that we
felt we had to address it twotimes Freak out Exactly, you're
not wrong.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
And what we saw when people feel like this nervous
energy of, oh my goodness, acouple of things, People either
leave the industry or they jumpto another company, or they say
dormant and just focus onsomething else.
And I know there is this needfor money, which okay.
So when there's this panic,people do different things.
Some of you buckle down andyou've been buckling down and
(04:27):
we'll talk about that and thecoolness about that.
Some of you say you just stayand put or you quit, and then
some of you go on to somenefarious things.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Yes, do you recall our conversation about MRR, mrr,
mrr, mrr, mrr MICKEY, don'tdefame the mouse.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Yeah, he's the love.
The new Mickey Mouse Club sogood.
That's where I fell in lovewith JC from In sync.
Brittany was on there,christina was on there.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Ryan.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
Gosling was on there, Carrie Russell.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
He was.
I actually saw that.
Yeah, I mean this was a bitbefore my time, of course, it
was Such a tiny fetus.
He looks so nerdy.
Yeah, he looks so nerdy, buthe's cute.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
And then, yeah, timberlake was on there too,
whatever, anyway.
So MRR cropped up.
A lot of you left MRR now sincethen, because the money just
isn't consistently there, ormaybe we should be.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
I don't see the posts anymore, and I don't know if
it's because the algorithm hascaught up and realized like
we're not showing these posts,or if y'all just decided this
was a bad plan.
Total hoax total hoax.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
It's okay, it's all right.
But you also saw big leaders dothings and get terminated from
companies because they weretaking, you know, trying to do
all sorts of things theyshouldn't have been doing.
So it wasn't just on the levelof, okay, I'm starting up, I
need to make money.
Some of the big name peoplewere like, okay, I'll use this
time to try and take everyone toa company I'm gonna build
(06:01):
myself, and there's lawsuits andall the things and it's like
this is a soap opera.
They should do the realhousewives of network marketing.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Oh my gosh you know we'd watch that, oh, I'd totally
watch it.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
I'd be, like I would be a supporting cast member.
You know what I'm saying?
Speaker 2 (06:16):
Like the friend of a friend of, maybe a friend of yes
because then also goes overthere and like whispers to so
and so and you're the rumor mill, like you're just spreading it.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
I'd be like I don't know if you watch Vanderpump,
but I'd be like Lisa's husbandwho come in.
I can't believe the TomSandoval that Rachel spent the
night at Tom Sandoval's house.
Then he walks out like clearlythat was a plan, so walk through
the room.
I can't believe.
That's not the best.
(06:50):
That is funny.
So what has it been like foryou?
We're curious, like what havebeen the highlights?
We'd love for you to tell uswhat have been the highlights in
the low lights, because, listeny'all, it's okay to have low
lights.
Think about hair.
I don't know much about thosethings.
My hair's a whole different.
By the way, you should see thestory that I posted last.
(07:10):
Ooh, okay, it's a phrase, it'sfunny.
It's a black hair, funny, funny, but it's funny, yeah, about
hair shrinkage and it's justfunny.
Speaker 2 (07:22):
Oh, I did see that and I didn't know what it was.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
You didn't understand , I know, I know.
No, I was like is Roxanne.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Oh, she cut her hair.
I'm gonna use.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
For my black ladies and men and people of color.
It's this meme and it says Iunderstand that shrinkage is
good, but do I always have tolook like this after a wash day?
And it's a picture of Samuel LJackson, like probably from Pulp
Fiction Time.
It's just hilarious, causethat's what happens.
(07:50):
It's just all goes like.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Even with like cause, you have hair extensions in.
No, not this.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
But when I take this out and my hair is probably like
past my shoulders and on a washday after I wash it, zoop, it's
like so short.
Yeah, it's like that's not astyle.
Yeah, anyway, it's funny so.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
Low lights for us nine.
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
Low lights are important cause I know like
people do those too.
I got my highlights and my lowlights right.
You need both, yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:20):
The highlights don't look higher with the lows.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
You need both For our hairstylists.
We have some hair gurus.
Listen, explain us thehighlights low light thing.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
But it is important.
We must know, and we must knowPeople spend money for it.
Yeah, I've got dark hair.
So, and even when I had redhair, we don't did we, we just
balayaged.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Is balayage another name for low lights?
Do we know?
Speaker 2 (08:39):
No, it's like.
I think it's another word forhighlights.
Speaker 1 (08:43):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
You like make a shape , so it's not like a highlight,
like it's not foil, it's foil.
It's very hard to explain, Idon't know Well.
Speaker 1 (08:53):
for those who understand what we're talking
about better than we do, explainit to us.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
But you need the low lights.
Speaker 1 (09:00):
You need the shade.
Yeah, I was sick after our tripto Boston.
I got sick, got sick and thenafter I was like because I don't
get sick often, I'm like, oh,breathing meant more to me,
mm-hmm, not coughing.
The little things, the littlethings, you appreciate them so
(09:22):
much more when you have a lowtime.
I hate to say it, but it's true.
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Yeah, like rolling over in bed.
I was sick last week and it waslike the whole body aches and
like even just rolling over inbed felt like such a big thing.
I was like, oh no, it's time toroll over.
You have to think about everymove, right, yeah yeah, the word
that comes up for me for likethis year, as just a general, I
(09:47):
think, is resilience.
You should show, oh sorry, ohwell that, but like I think
we're still taking it in stride.
And for those who are like allin and their business, obviously
you're the ones listening,right, so you're resilient,
you're pushing through.
The tides change all the time,and we saw how quickly they went
up and maybe trickling down.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
But I think that's what I love about that You're so
right Is when I talk to myclients because my clients go
through all the things.
They've had the highs, the lows, the ones who are resilient,
plumbing that is that I see thathas been great as a work.
Okay, we pivot.
Okay.
So this is going on.
What are we going to do?
Well, the pivot has been tocustomers because, honestly, if
you really think about it y'all,if you're not feeling good
(10:32):
about your business, if you'reseeing your team dwindle, if
you're seeing your paycheckdwindle, how can you sit there
and look at someone and go?
You should totally join, youcould, you could make back your
money this month and you'd belike come on now.
You don't believe it.
Even if you're saying it, whichI hope you're not, if you don't
believe it, it's not comingacross right.
But what you can do is what didyou fall in love with?
You fell in love with theproduct.
(10:53):
You believe in the product.
So you can say the Stanleywater bottle is amazing because
you never flipped it over, younever spilled it, but it's
amazing because of all thesethings and you can sell the
Stanley water bottle.
I'm holding one of my hands forthe two listening.
So that's what I've loved aboutit is those have been pivoting
and be like okay, I'm going tofocus on my customers and I'm
(11:14):
going to build my customer baseand I'm going to figure out what
their problems are and how myproducts can solve them.
And they're seeing greatresults.
They're seeing money come in ona regular and y'all I know I've
said it, but I'm going to sayit again If you're looking for
consistent money while you'rebuilding your team or growing
your business, consistent moneycomes from customers.
(11:35):
I don't care what anybody elsesays.
Consistent money comes fromcustomers.
Customers are more consistentand more reliable than anyone
you'll put on your team, becauseyour team members you do not.
You have you very littlecontrol of any one period, but
your team whoever's on your teamis going to do what they do
when they feel like they'regoing to do, when they do it
Right.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
And they might jump ship to another team.
Speaker 1 (11:55):
They might different company.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
Yes, they're going to stop altogether.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yes, and if you're banking your paycheck on them,
you're banking the wrong way.
I know that there are some bigcompanies who are changing,
who've changed their comp planover the last year to try and
encourage you to recruit, butyou have to remember everything
is based on what is it in forthem?
Yes, they want more people.
They've lost tens of thousandsof 20,000 consultants.
(12:20):
Yes, they want more.
But you have to also thinkabout what is the best for you.
And if you are like, if I have10 customers, it's going to look
like this, and if I have 20,it's going to look like this
Work on your customer base,especially when times are like
blah and the other will come,the rest will come.
Speaker 2 (12:35):
Yeah, and it'll probably.
Who knows what 2024 is going tobring.
Maybe our advice is going tochange and we're going to
encourage you to recruit.
Yeah, but right now in thisseason, after looking at
everything of what's going onright now in this season,
customers, customers, customers,customers.
We might always say that, but Iwas going to say you left the
door open to you.
You left the door open, just incase.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
You left it just in case.
But focusing on your customershas been a beautiful thing.
The other thing that we'reseeing the rise of is affiliates
and network marketing.
Companies are trying to figureout how to make that happen, how
to make the affiliate thing athing.
They're trying and they'rehaving a hard time, because
here's two reasons A, becausethey have this okay, yeah,
(13:17):
become an affiliate, and it'sstill like it's.
I don't want to say it's a wolfand sheep's clothing, cause
that's not fair, but it's like Iknow.
Have you seen those state farmcommercials?
Love them, with the guy who'strying to teach your parents,
like, how to be trendy and howto acclimate.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
They're hilarious.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
It's like that, like network marketing is the old dog
and affiliate marketing is thenew dog.
It's like okay, yeah, I'm hip,I'm the network marketing person
trying to.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
she can do affiliate stuff and he's like, no, don't
do that.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Like don't Just let it be separate, exactly.
And so there's so much trying tobuild the affiliate program on
top of the network marketingprogram as opposed to making a
separate wing, that there havebeen some hiccups and things.
And from your side as aconsultant, you're sitting there
(14:10):
going, yeah, I become anaffiliate, but you're thinking
to yourself, but I don't make asmuch off the affiliate.
And then you're quickly tryingto tell them but you know what,
if you do this, you can actuallymake more money if you build a
team.
And what you're notunderstanding is the people who
are interested in affiliatemarketing do not want network
marketing.
They don't.
So when you say that to themand you start making it
(14:31):
confusing, convoluted,convoluted as network marketing
let's be real, though thecomplaint, all things can be you
start to lose them.
And so I think, if you're incorporate, what I'm telling you
now listen to me is this ifyou're gonna be doing an
affiliate marketing program, youneed to really educate your
(14:51):
leaders, your mid-level and yourtop-level leaders into the
benefits of that and how toguide and lead that, or you
don't put your affiliates on ateam, but of course that has
issues too, because then yourfield's gonna be mad at you.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
It just sounds messy to me.
My little brain is like what'sthe actual point?
Speaker 1 (15:13):
To get more.
For who?
The corporate?
For myself.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Well, yes, yes, but I'm gonna like and Money, money,
money money, money.
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, the thing is, you see all these products that
are going viral on Instagram andTikTok, and if I'm a network
marketing company that has agreat product, I'm like I want
it on that too, so I get it.
But you have this disconnectbecause your product, you've
been selling it in a differentway and so it'll be interesting.
(15:46):
They're trying to figure it out.
They've gotta figure it out.
I think they have to figure itout if they want to be relevant,
because what we know is, since2020, institutions are changing,
are crumbling.
Let's be real.
They're crumbling and a newsomething is coming in in the
next few years, and if you're anold institution, you're gonna
(16:08):
have to figure out how to pivotor you're gonna crumble.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Like target.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Do you think targets crumbling?
Tell me more.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Actually, yes, I do.
I was just talking about thisthe other day to someone I don't
know, maybe my husband, ormaybe Davey no one else is here.
Target used to be like a placewhere I felt like had high
standards and was clean.
It was like the place to go.
And now I go, and maybe it's aNashville thing.
(16:42):
We literally have like seventargets, that I can go to, but
they are always messy andthere's never carts anymore.
Like it's starting to give meWalmart vibes, wow.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
Yeah, I went there.
So my sister lived in Nashvilleso I can ask her which ones are
good, but it's been decadessince she's been there.
But what I will say is thisit's funny you bring up Target,
because Target and Disney havehad a PR problem over the last
year.
Speaker 2 (17:14):
Oh yes, I forgot, target did.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
Yeah, and I don't know that they are going to be
able to quickly bounce back.
I don't know how Target wasn'tas bad as Disney's.
Disney has had a lot of PRissues and I think they used to
have a score.
I was listening to a podcast.
Their credibility score wasfive, which was amazing, and now
they're down on the list Likethey were fifth and now they're
(17:37):
like 50 something.
Good luck coming back from that.
So I think those areinstitutions and listen, I love
Disney, I love Target, y'all, soI'm not berating either of them
.
Actually, I don't really shopat Target.
I say that, but I don't reallyshop at Target.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
No, we shop at Target .
I'm literally a Target.
One stress a week.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
My sister is like she one sister is Costco, the other
sister is Target.
But I don't really I appreciateTarget.
I don't really shop there,isn't that weird?
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Hmm, yeah, I've been considering.
I'm like is it time?
Am I up leveling to Costco?
Speaker 1 (18:10):
Well, that's just a mass product.
It's not that you're upleveling because you need more
of everything.
Speaker 2 (18:15):
And I don't, so maybe not.
Speaker 1 (18:17):
Maybe I should just stop shopping.
Costco's not cuter than Target.
It's a warehouse, that man.
They've got some good stuff atgood prices.
You should see thoserefrigerators, man.
I think it will be interesting.
It'll be interesting, who knows?
But you have to up level andy'all.
(18:37):
If you're with a company that'snot up leveling, you need to
check and see if they are, andif they aren't, you need to be
concerned.
I'm just gonna tell you, youneed to be concerned.
If they're doing the same old,same old, they are in trouble
and that means they're goeventually.
Your business is going to be introuble, especially if you're
relying on teams.
If you're relying on a team,then your team to lead the way
(19:02):
for you, then you're gonna havea hard time.
Products, sure, customers.
It will take longer for that todissipate, but you may find
it's harder to get new clientsin.
I mean, let's take like Rodinand Phil.
It's a great example.
They're regimens, they'reregimens, they're regimens.
Well, listen, they've had theregimens and no disparity in the
(19:23):
regimens are great.
Kudos to y'all.
But when you see differenttrends in the beauty industry,
where people are doing differentthings, like okay, now we're
doing double washing, was itdouble cleansing?
And doing these differentthings and these different
serums or masks, for example, ifyou're not keeping up with it.
(19:43):
Great example a few years back,grinningfields didn't have any
masks and you have all thesecool masks going on where people
are taking them off their face.
Everybody loved that theydidn't have masks and they came
out with masks and it was like apasty mask, like not the same
thing, like you have to keep upwith the trends, because if
you're like here's my tried andtrue four steps or five steps,
it's okay, but it's not sexy.
(20:05):
And if you think people aren'tlooking for the shiny toy, then
you're confused.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
We buy on feelings.
We buy on what we want.
We buy.
Yes, you can logically tell meeverything why I need this
regimen, but there's still thatfactor.
There is, but I want the maskthat pulls off my face, don't
you?
Speaker 1 (20:23):
Who doesn't want that ?
Ooh, it pulls off my face.
It's like the foot stuff thatlike pulls like your skin like
comes off.
People wanna try at least once.
We'll try it, yeah yeah, that'sfunny.
Speaker 2 (20:34):
So let's, can we switch to our year in review,
cause I feel like we both havebig years, so maybe that can be.
Our behind the scenes is Okay,you go first, me go first, okay,
okay.
So at the beginning of thisyear 2023, we pulled our kids
from preschool and daycareprogram and decided to
homeschool, and we are stillhomeschooling and I love it.
(20:56):
Yeah, we almost opened arestaurant this year.
That was this year still yes, wegot like the lease and like the
final paperwork and we didn'tlike it.
And so, even though we had gonethat far, we decided to say no.
And a week later is when myhusband got that job offer for
the seasonal position onMackinac Island, with housing
(21:20):
for us.
So we took it.
We spent April to September onMackinac Island and then found
out this company that offeredhim the job also owns like a ton
of Hiltons all over America.
So Jeremy applied and got a jobin Nashville.
We sold our house, which we aresigning the papers to, maro.
(21:42):
Yay, finally, congrats.
And here we are.
That's the year.
Speaker 1 (21:48):
Not much going on with you is what I heard.
Okay.
Speaker 2 (21:50):
Not much, you know, just a few little changes.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Yeah, wow, okay, that's a lot in one year.
Yes, that's a lot, yes, okay.
So just you know, yeah, that'sa lot.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Oh, and we also redid our whole basement at our house
too.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
We did to sell it to someone else.
Speaker 2 (22:08):
To then turn around and sell it.
Never got to enjoy it, not once.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Not once, because you were in Mackinac.
I was finishing up, oh goodness.
So I last year I don't knowwhat I did at the beginning of
the year I spent I was weddingplanning, obviously, and was
able to go back and forth toArizona once the dress came in,
like every other week for thedress fittings, which was such a
(22:31):
wonderful time to spend with myfamily.
Like I just loved that so much.
In fact, when the wedding came,I was sad because I'm like like
when I went to the lab I waslike this is so bittersweet.
So we did that.
We got married.
We did that marriage thing.
We went to the Bahamas, had thewedding of our dreams.
It was phenomenal and wonderful.
So that took us to July.
(22:52):
I thought I glossed over.

Let's not let.
I don't want to diminish thatat all.
Then, after that, we decided wewere moving.
And there go the move.
So we are, by the end of theyear, moving.

was one of us.
Like we need to move to Phoenix.
I'm like what.
He lived there for 10 yearsbefore he moved to Austin and we
met in Austin.
