12\\ Get laser-focused on your direct selling goals and create the plan

Use this formula to book parties, work your direct sales business and reach your goals faster!  This episode is about creating a plan for your direct sales business and having a specific goal.  A Breakthrough Challenge member set a goal to make an extra $100 in fun money using her direct sales business. While she currently sells for two companies, Norwex and Thirty-One, I help her figure out where to start. I also ask hard questions for her to really determine what she wants and needs. I even asked her if she thought she should be doing direct sales because sometimes a side gig is meant to last for a season and not for forever. Don't be so busy going through the motion that you ignore it. I talk a little about the Mega Party, where you book all the parties for a month at once and have the script ready to go. I also share my booking parties strategy that eliminates a lot of the endless back-and-forth messaging and helps you build a solid calendar full of bookings. "It's not that people aren't wanting to party, it's that they aren't wanting to party with you or you're not asking them or they're not wanting to party with the business you have. But if you make it fun and you're asking, they will say yes."In this episode, you will learn the following:1. How to grow your income, audience, and influence while protecting your mental health.2. Strategies to live with intention, enjoy what matters most, and build a sustainable business.3. Proven techniques for successful direct selling and making extra money.Resources:Silence the Mean Girl Other episodes you'll enjoy:Having a Strong Foundation in your Direct Sales Business

10\\ How to limit social media and still use it for your online business

During this month's challenge we are working to be more intentional with our use of digital devices and this includes using social media. A community member, Laura, inside of the Real Talk Tribe, asked a great question and I thought it would be of value to those who listen to the podcast.
Laura asks, "Does anyone have any tips for not getting sucked into social media if you can't avoid it entirely? Every time I want to post something for work, I have to log into my personal Facebook, which pulls up my personal feed, and then I get sucked into scrolling."
Is it possible to use social media and yet not allow it to become a major time suck? Yes. I'm here to give you the lowdown! In this episode, you will learn the following:1. How can we be more mindful of our social media usage and break the cycle of overconsumption?2. How to flip the script on our beliefs around social media a positive force, instead of a source of comparison, negativity and brain fog?
3. What tips and tricks can we use to get more done and spend less time scrolling?Connect with me:

09\\Three things you should know about living out your dreams to make money and create impact

Is there something in the back of your mind that you have always wanted to do but have been too scared to do? Or have you been working towards it for a while but keep getting distracted and derailed? If so, this episode is for you. I talk through three key things I believe have helped me achieve my dreams of being a successful life and business coach. When I started dreaming of where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do, I didn't even know it was possible to get paid to coach women. Three years later and here I am as a Christian Life & Business Coach, living out my dream AND getting paid for it. Every time I say it, I'm left in awe of how cool my God is! {Won't He do it?!!! Yes, He will!}Check out this episode to hear about the three things I have done to get to where I am today.
I discuss: how to stay focused, create a battle plan, & why it’s important to invest in your dream.

08\\Put Down the Phone: A December Challenge for those who are anxious & overwhelmed.

In this episode of Priorities on Purpose, host Melissa Batt challenges overwhelmed direct sellers to stop chasing all the shiny things, get laser-focused, and use the December digital detox challenge to experience more time, peace, impact, money, and opportunities.
 
When the world is telling us we need to be online and show up more consistently, I want to give you permission to take some time away and allow God to show off on your behalf.
All of the challenges are based on my own life and the things God used to help me become more intentional. It drew me closer to Him and also helped me get my priorities in alignment. My hope for the monthly challenges is for them to make you more aware of how through anxiety and overwhelm, we can begin living on autopilot and in survival mode.  My mission is to guide and lead you with the challenge but it is mostly what you make of it. You get to choose if you want to do a digital detox for one day, a week, or all month.
Personally, this time around, I'm going to spend weekends doing more intentional things with my family and less time on my phone. And, I am going to put my phone up at night instead of falling asleep scrolling. I may even get in another game of Monopoly with the kids! {IYKYK}

05\\ Walking your goal out with action steps, nurturing your email list, writing and selling a digital copy of a book all done using the 12 Weeks to Success Strategy in the Breakthrough Challenge

During this laser coaching LIVE session, I'm helping a direct seller continue walking out the goal of selling her very own devotional. During the last 12-week Breakthrough Session, she planned it out and wrote it. And, now her goal is to launch this book into the world and sell it. We talk about how easy it is to think of the big action steps and how it can seem so hard to follow through on the tiny little steps that make up the big action steps. In our head, it seems so big and daunting but realistically, if we set a timer for 30 minutes, we could probably knock it all out quickly. We talk about time management tips and the importance of celebrating the way you want to celebrate after the job is done. This is a FACEBOOK LIVE Laser Session so I apologize in advance for the audio quality. (Work in progress over here!! 😜)We discuss her social media strategy, email lists, crafting email copy to connect with her audience, remembering to stick to the plan and keep it simple, and the overall journey of walking out a God-sized dream of writing and selling a devotional. To connect with Tammy Bartels, check out www.pursuitoverperfection.com
