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

04\\ How Can Choosing to Eat Less Sugar Benefit You?

Every month as we continue to live more intentionally, I choose a challenge to help us continue to become a better version of ourselves. If you struggle with ADHD, anxiety, overwhelm, or just always feel tired, I believe this episode can help you. This month is all about choosing to consume less sugar. Through this episode, I share more about my journey, the benefits of choosing less, and tips to make the most of the challenge. You will also find the link below to join our free Real Talk Tribe Community. 
 
Disclaimer: I'm not a health expert. I'm just a 42-year-old female who has lived enough life to understand sugar doesn't serve me. Do I still consume it? YES! It's a journey. While I would love to say I don't, I'm still a work in progress. This month's challenge is for me as much as it is for you. (Also, this was the very first episode I recorded so I will apologize for the audio quality in advance. I had my microphone on the wrong setting! 🤦‍♀️)

03\\ Breakthrough Challenge Laser Coaching with Direct Seller Adding Additional Income

During this laser coaching session, I'm helping a Thirty-One consultant bridge the gaps between her coaching business and her direct sales business. We spent time over the last year building a solid & sustainable foundation BEFORE we could build the coaching business. This is a FACEBOOK LIVE Laser Session so I apologize in advance for the audio quality. (Work in progress over here!! 😜)It doesn't have to always be this way but for her the direct sales business is how she is currently making money and a vehicle God is using to help her build her brand, get in front of new people, and provide income as she invests to see her dream business become a reality. We discuss her social media strategy, Facebook parties, sponsoring, sales in her mega parties, crafting email copy to connect with her audience, the journey and overall brand to reach moms who have children and need help navigating life after a diagnosis. To connect with Wendy Thomas, check out www.mamaencourager.com.
