Priorities on Purpose: Get Out of Survival Mode, Eliminate Distractions, Find Your Focus, and Grow With Jesus

31. For the Direct Sales consultant who is tired of chasing sales & wants to build a sustainable side gig business

Unleash Your Direct Sales Potential: Proven Tips for Booking More Parties & Finding Your Groove
Do you want to increase your party bookings and sales in your direct sales business? Are you tired of chasing people and bugging the same people all the time for an order? Do you want to get back in the game with your business and actually start making money again?
I can help you turn your direct sales business into a thriving success. By implementing proven techniques and strategies, you can achieve the ultimate goal: a steady stream of party bookings and a bigger paycheck. With my help, you can transform your business and reach the result you've been dreaming of – a profitable and rewarding direct sales career. It's time to take action and start seeing the kind of success that doesn't leave you feeling burnt out and overwhelmed to sustain. 
Listen in for my real talk about treating your social selling gig like a real business. Lots of people get into direct sales because they like the idea of earning money from home, but they fail to put in the time, systems, and effort required to build a successful & sustainable business. It should be noted that the sales consultant asking the question is a rockstar who has sold thousands per month in the past and built a small team. But, at the time we were talking, she was barely staying active. Don't discount or dismiss this episode based on the numbers I'm sharing with her personally. You can use these tips to hit any sales goal you have!
In this episode, you will be able to:
Take steps to strengthen the foundation of your business.
Learn more about the goal-setting process to have a great experience in your network marketing journey.
Hear more about using mega parties as a secret weapon to get in front of more people in less time. 
Think about and take action to set yourself apart from others in your industry. 
The Importance of PresentationPresentation matters. You want to create a lasting impression on potential hostesses, recruits, and customers. This can be especially important when it comes to gift-giving or presenting party favors. A well-thought-out, visually appealing wow gift will help them remember you and want to work with you again.  A tip for those who like to give extra products as a gift or mystery bag items:  Do not give or include items you wouldn't want or others wouldn't want. The items you choose and the presentation of them can be the difference between a one-time transaction and a loyal, lifelong customer.
Setting Income GoalsDirect sales consultants often find success when they set specific income goals from the beginning. Establishing a money goal helps to keep you on track and motivated, and allows the focus to remain on tasks and strategies designed to achieve it. Goal setting helps you be intentional, get things done, and save time doing it.  
Mega PartiesAnother key strategy for direct sales success is to host Mega Parties. These events typically involve having multiple hostesses inside of one party, maximizing exposure and reaching more people in less time. Mega Parties can be held online or at home, and are a great way to boost sales and engage potential customers. I share my process of booking parties and the necessary steps to be the most efficient with the least amount of back and forth. Mega Parties, when executed effectively, are changing the game for consultants in Norwex, Thirty-One, Younique, Pampered Chef, Seint, and many others. 
The Mega Party process for those who love the cliff note version:
Figure out how much money you want to make and do the math to see how much you need to sell in order to make that amount.
Block off the weeks on your calendar when you want to have parties before you ever ask anyone to party.
Make a list of all the people you want to ask to have a party.
Join the Success Lounge to receive the script to get started on the Mega Party and host three parties inside of one party.
Try to get at least two parties booked off of every single hostess.
Create a list of the perks for partying with YOU (not the company)
If you need help with wording, put your verbiage in the student community and ask for help with tweaking it.
Treat your business like a business.
Utilize the one-to-many strategy and focus on parties to get in front of a lot of people at one time.
Don't get caught up in creating party scripts or graphics to avoid the hard thing, which is rejection.
Create small baby steps to get you to your goal. Start with booking three parties every single month if you are currently less than 3.

30. Mental Health Struggles: Finding courage to ask for help and what NOT to say to someone battling depression and anxiety

Finding Courage in Mental Health Struggles with Breakthrough Challenge member, Mary
After years of pushing down her emotions and putting herself last, Mary finally scheduled an appointment with a doctor and even followed through, despite her husband's recent hospitalization.
And, sadly, her vulnerability was met with rude remarks by the doctor and nurse, leaving her feeling dumb and ashamed. To make it worse, a nurse actually said the words "Pull up your big girl panties", which is not helpful to someone who is already struggling.
Now, Mary questioned whether her struggles were even valid.  
Quick tips and topics we talk about: 
• Validate the courage needed to ask for help with mental health challenges.

• Ways that therapy can target and alleviate the roots of anxiety and trauma.

• Consider the critical nature of selecting a therapist with whom you can develop trust and rapport.

• Welcome the benefits of letting go of fear and leaning on faith for support and direction.

• Uncover the process of addressing and healing from the shame associated with trauma.

• Recognize that seeking help IS pulling up your big girl panties.
• Flip the script on negative self-talk and recognize your worth and value.
• Take medication if needed and recognize the importance of medicine in managing mental health.

• Journaling through emotions and asking for prayer support when feeling weak.

• Prioritize self-care utilizing a battle plan, and intentionally live a fulfilled life.

 
Healing Requires Confrontation

The road to healing often requires confronting and facing the source of our trauma or emotional distress. By avoiding these issues, we risk prolonging our pain and allowing it to dominate our lives. Confronting our past and its impact on our present can be an uncomfortable and challenging process, but it is necessary for growth and healing to occur. Melissa Batt gently guides Mary in the conversation to understand that, although the process is difficult, breaking apart can eventually lead to healing and freedom. Melissa encourages Mary to create a battle plan and seek protection during tough times by turning to prayer partners when needed. This deliberate confrontation of her traumatic experiences will allow Mary to start healing and find freedom in her life.
You are worthy of attention

Suppressing your emotions and struggles for fear of seeming needy or attention-seeking ultimately hinders your ability to heal fully. It's crucial to realize that your experiences, emotions, and the path to healing all deserve attention and care. During the podcast, Melissa Batt reminds Mary of her worthiness of attention and advises her to flip the script on her negative thoughts. By embracing her value and acknowledging her emotions, Mary can move forward in her healing journey with confidence and self-assurance.

29. Stop with the Copy-Pasting Posts & Messages: Create a loyal tribe who will buy anything & everything you are selling.

Authenticity Over Copy-Paste: How to Stand Out in Network Marketing
From copy and paste to authenticity and value - Find your loyal tribe or as we call it around here-LOYAL LIFERS!  But how do you do it? Listen in to find out! 
In this episode, you will be able to:
Understand the role authenticity (and allowing yourself to be REAL) plays in direct sales, social selling, and network marketing businesses like Mary Kay, Scentsy, Park Lane, Norwex, Plexus, Thirty-One Gifts, Seint, etc... 
Start creating content to set yourself apart and provide MASSIVE value to attract your people and build the like, know, and trust factor.  
Know your pillars and who you want to attract to speak directly to them in your communication.
Learn to embrace your unique strengths to set yourself apart from competitors.
Ask for feedback to grow and polish your areas of knowledge & expertise because it's probably so obvious you won't see it. 
To give value, you have to show up authentically. Stop hiding behind your products or the company you represent. - Melissa Batt
Other tips: 
Stop teaching copy-and-paste methods in direct selling and network marketing.
Focus on creating value instead of noise.
Show up authentically and stop hiding behind your products or company.
Niche down and speak to one person.
Let your freak flag shine and share your quirks, stories, struggles, and obstacles.
Acknowledge all the things that set you apart and become super clear on who you are.
Share your personal stories to connect with your audience.
Define your LOYAL LIFER aka Ride or Die and determine who she is.
Help Others Navigate Their ObstaclesOne way of demonstrating authenticity and providing value is to assist others in overcoming their obstacles. This can include sharing your personal struggles, giving encouragement, and offering support through empathy and compassion. In doing so, you become relatable & go beyond the surface talk and sales. Leverage your life experiences and skills to aid others facing similar challenges. In this episode, I share personal examples of how I have been open with my battles with ADHD, depression, and anxiety. By being open about my struggle to focus, for example, I have inspired others going through the same thing. As I walk this out, I can see that my 'loyal lifer' is someone who struggles to focus and sometimes feels like she is all over the place. Since this is something I have learned (and am still learning) to overcome, I can share tips on what has helped me. If they try the tips and it works, it builds trust and they are more likely to continue following, connecting, and trying other things that I share as helpful. 
Acknowledge What Sets You ApartIt's important for all of us entrepreneurs to recognize what sets us apart. We do not have to compete with team members, new consultants, or even similar brands. There is room for us all! You will recognize this when you stop trying to be basic in your marketing and serve the masses. Identify your own strengths and weaknesses or seek feedback from close friends or family members. By getting clear on your uniqueness, you can stop trying to be like everyone else and own who God created you to be.  Remember you don't have to know everything about a certain topic, you just need to know more than who you were five minutes ago.  Example: I share how I am mastering the art of planning despite not being a natural planner. In this topic, I'm not targeting those who love to plan and have it mastered. I'm targeting people who wish they loved to plan, find it hard, and want to find something that works for them. Can you see how this fits with my brand of chasing squirrels, getting distracted, and having attention deficit problems?

28\\ Circling the wagon: Become proactive & prepare for life’s challenges to protect your peace

Circling the Wagon: Preparing for Life's Challenges
In this episode of Priorities on Purpose, I share more from the Girlboss Basic Bootcamp in hopes it will help you prepare for resistance. For 3 years I've been challenging my coaching clients to slow down and pay attention. Are you ready to circle the wagon and start being proactive in your life? Tune in to find out.
 
Spoiler Alert: While life is hard and the enemy will come to attack you as you live out your calling, you DO have control over some areas of your life. 
 
Key takeaways in this episode:
Look for the gaps and cracks in your life and create a plan to fix them. Areas mentioned include your health, relationships, marriage, finances, and your home.
Declutter and organize your home to remove chaos and create peace. If you struggle with anxiety, ADHD, or depression, this will be extremely helpful for you. 
Take time to review your budget paying attention to what comes in and what goes out to improve your financial situation. 
Spend intentional time in your closest relationships to make sure you remain connected.
Stop putting off taking care of yourself. Prioritize your health. Schedule the doctor's appt you have been putting off. Go to the dentist. Move your body.
Consider adding an additional stream of income to live out your calling or if you are already a direct seller, utilize your business as a vehicle to help you do so. 
Join a book club or find other ways to slow down and reset to avoid being too busy to take care of yourself and your priorities. Check your rhythms. 
 
Circle the WagonCircling the wagon involves identifying areas in our lives that are more vulnerable and taking steps to strengthen them. This proactive approach will help you have more peace, limit your distractions, and protect your resources. It's time to get off the hamster wheel and out of survival mode. This is the message God gave me in 2020. Today, the words are still written on my mirror in my bedroom as a reminder. It's my mission now to help others recognize that living in reaction mode and putting out fires regularly isn't how it has to be. Follow these steps and protect your peace.

27\\ Mean girls, listen up! Acknowledging insecurities and sharing it all with you.

Overcoming Self-Sabotage and Insecurities to Thrive
Are you holding yourself back from your true potential? So many of us fall prey to these misconceptions and most of us do it without even realizing it.  
Misconception #1 - You have to be perfect to succeed.
Misconception #2 - Someone else can do it better than you. 
Misconception #3 - Success means never feeling self-doubt.
 
But the truth is, you don't have to be perfect, there is room for you even when others are also doing it, and self-doubt is 100% normal. As a Christian Life & Business Coach for women & direct sellers, I'm here to share with you the real truth - and help you silence your inner mean girl once and for all.
In this episode, you will be challenged to:
 
Silence your inner critic and transform your mindset by reversing negative thoughts aka FLIP THE SCRIPT.
Own your quirks and insecurities as tools to connect you to others and remain relatable
Trust God to use all of you- the good, the bad, the ugly!
Your purpose and plan has the power to impact more than just yourself. It isn't about you. -Melissa Batt
Other Tips:
Consider hiring a coach for personalized and focused accountability to help you reach your goals.
Cut out Bible verses related to your insecurities and post them in visible places as reminders of God's love and purpose for you.
Call out your insecurities and address them if you feel shame around them. The enemy can't use what you bring into the light. 
Speak out about the things that the devil wants to keep you silent in and acknowledge the elephants.
Join the Success Lounge for access to masterclasses and community support.

Giving Yourself Permission to Be YouEmbracing our true selves, quirks, and all, is essential for personal growth and achieving true sustainable success. By giving ourselves permission to be authentic and unique, we can harness our individual strengths and stand out in the crowd. In this episode, I share my personal journey to self-acceptance and want you to do the same. In doing so, we can channel our unique abilities to truly live in the purpose God has for us and create a massive impact.

26\\ Finding a new & local church: Questions to ask & practical tips to make the process doable and stress-free

Church Search Anxiety: Facing Fears and Embracing New Connections
Does anyone else move a lot like me? One of the hardest parts of moving is finding all the favorites in the new area. We have to research and make so many decisions like where to send our kids to school, the best neighborhoods, who to use for a pediatrician, a dentist, our own primary care physician, etc... And, then of course, for those of us who consider ourselves Christians... We need to find a new church. While this isn't easy, it is doable. And, with as much as we have moved, I now consider myself a professional church researcher and love to help my friends and coaching clients narrow down their choices to not allow decision fatigue and analysis paralysis to keep them from jumping back in and getting back to church.
In this episode, you will learn a lot of tips and tricks like:
Deciding on your non-negotiables when it comes to finding a church to fit your family
Knowing your personal preferences for a church, such as denomination, type of music, size of congregation, and proximity to home.
Asking friends, family, or colleagues for church recommendations and inquiring about their experiences.
Visiting church websites to gather information on their beliefs, programs, and staff.
Watching live streams or recorded services to get a sense of the worship style, music, and preaching.
Reviewing church social media accounts to gain insight into the church community, pastor, and children's program leaders. {I know I'm not the only one who stalks Facebook accounts, right?}
Reaching out to friends who follow or like the church's social media pages to ask about their experiences and opinions.
Attending a service at the TOP 3 churches and being open to trying different churches until finding the right fit.
Engaging with church members and staff during your visit, asking questions, and expressing your interest in learning more.
Getting involved in church events, small groups, or volunteer opportunities to further immerse yourself in the church community and make connections.
And, last but not least...  Feel free to reach out. I'd love to help you find a church that meets your needs. 
 
Bonus Tip
Obviously, taking time to look up the church's website and social media accounts can provide great information on their beliefs, values, and available programs. But, if you take time to watch recordings or live streams of previous services it may also give a glimpse into the atmosphere and worship style of a church. Look for churches that post candid photos of their congregation to see how people dress and what the overall culture of the church is like. 
Importance of Outreach and ServingOutreach and serving opportunities within a church allow members to serve the community and be a part of something greater than themselves. Being involved in outreach programs can foster personal growth and spiritual development, as well as strengthen one's connection to the church community. Finding a church that emphasizes the importance of serving and encourages involvement is crucial for those of us who love to create impact. By participating in these programs, not only does one grow spiritually, but they also have the ability to make a difference in the lives of others.

25\\ Do you feel God calling you to go back to church? Overcoming church hurt, rejection, and shame to get involved with a local church in your community.

Overcoming Church Hurt, Rejection, and Shame to find community with other believers.
In the last two years, I have had conversations with several women who feel called to either begin attending or go back to church. In today's podcast, I'm acknowledging all the elephants and sharing some of my own personal experiences about feeling as if attending church was pointless. I know it sounds harsh, but it appeared that most church attendees were going through the motions. I wanted no part of it until my friend convinced me to try it one more time. Because of Natasha, I gave attending a local church one more chance and I'm super grateful for her push.
Watching online, settling for a podcast with your favorite preacher's messages... (Does anyone else love listening to Steven Furtick's podcast episodes of his Sunday messages? If so, I see you, girl!)
God wants more for you and that is what this podcast is all about!
In this episode, you will be challenged to:
Acknowledge personal fears, rejections, and past hurts that could have you self-protecting and avoiding
Recognize your need for local believers to pray and connect with
Stop living offended and instead use it as an opportunity for intentional conversations
Recognize when avoidance to what is uncomfortable gets in your way of spiritual growth
Trust in God's guidance and provision, remembering my favorite bible verse; Matthew 6:8: Your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
Be courageous and take steps to go back to church, even if it's terrifying.
Reflect on any past church hurt, remembering that people hurt you, not God, and that it's important not to put the church on a pedestal. The church is full of broken people who are in need of a Savior and help.
Research churches in your area, considering factors such as location, denomination, and community involvement and pick three to try out.
Attend a church service or event, keeping an open mind and heart.
Get involved in a church community by joining a small group, ministry, or volunteering in an outreach program.
Consider reading the book Triggers: How We Can Stop Reacting and Start Healing by David Richo
Reflect on any past experiences of rejection or abandonment and how they may be influencing your feelings about attending church
Remember that God is calling you back to the church not only for your own growth but also to be a part of a community of believers and serve others.
Re: Recognizing TriggersTriggers are specific cues or situations that cause an emotional reaction or flashback from past traumas or hurt. Becoming aware of one's triggers allows for better management of emotions and reactions to challenging experiences. Identifying these triggers and working through them ensures past emotional baggage does not hinder your growth. In this podcast, I chat a little bit about the concept of triggers and their potential impact on rejoining a church community. Previous experiences of rejection may lead to negative emotional responses when contemplating attending a new congregation. While this may be uncomfortable, I want to challenge you to flip the script and work through these emotional triggers, analyzing the root causes, and seeking support as needed to overcome them. Doing so will enhance the individual's ability to develop a healthy church experience free from the influence of past emotional scars.
God is calling you to get involved.
Delayed obedience is disobedience. Not only do you need the church, but the church also needs you. - Melissa Batt

23\\ Something happened at church tonight and I must share it with you!

Is God calling you to go to the altar? What would it look like if the church was full of hungry people who want to be in the presence of God and no longer care what people think? Stop second-guessing yourself. Be bold. Recognize the opportunity to support someone else's faith and go first.
Get out of your seat and take the steps forward. If Jesus is willing to die on the cross for us, can't we surrender our pride and go to the altar? Intercede for others. Pray for yourself. Praise Him for what He has already done in your life. Consider it an act of obedience because you know God is moving and doing a new thing. 
 
I shared this message live at midnight after tonight's Good Friday worship service at my church here in Kentucky.  Because Easter is so close, I wanted to upload this message here as quickly as possible in hopes some of you will be more aware this Sunday. This episode is raw & real and is unedited with me sharing my heart and what I know God has been telling me over the last couple of years. It's about going first. 
It's about not staying in your seat but going to the altar when you feel the prompting from Holy Spirit. 
It's about leaving your comfort zone and not allowing the spirit of resistance to stunt your growth. P.S. If we want revival, we must allow ourselves to linger in His presence and lay down our pride, motives, and agendas. 
 
P.S.S. Have you been putting off getting back into the church? Or maybe you haven't yet found a home church or you are overwhelmed with the idea of even looking for a good church. God is doing a new thing and He needs you to show up for His people. Be on the lookout for another podcast soon on how to find a church, what to look for, and how to feel comfortable walking in the doors before you even leave your house. And, no, I'm not talking about watching church online through a live stream or Youtube Channel.  
 
The next Breakthrough Challenge will be starting soon. Sign up now so you will be ready to go! Your goals can be as simple as going back to church, reading your bible, or meeting new people through a bible study. Several of our current participants have similar goals and will tell you it is possible! I'd love to help you. And, of course, if you have a business or other life goal, we can do that too!

22\\ Unlocking Your God-Sized Dreams: Stepping into Your Purpose and Making Money

 
Despite my fears, I trusted God and surrendered my struggles and comfort to walk out this journey of coaching.  Every day I get to wake up and do what I didn't even know was possible. I had no clue I could be paid to do life coaching. I truly thought my calling was to show up as the best top leader in my direct sales/network marketing business and I was super satisfied with it. However, sometimes God wants us to think bigger, step out of our comfort zone, and stop putting Him in a box. 
 
Today, I'm no longer in direct sales but instead, I have the opportunity to coach women (inside and outside of the network marketing industry) to live a fulfilled purpose-driven life.  So how did I get here? I'm glad you asked because today's episode is all about it! 
 
 
Top Takeaways: 
 
Keep the long-term vision in front of you and create boundaries to protect it.
 
Be prepared to say no to distractions and opportunities that don't align with your goals.
 
Recognize that the journey will be difficult, but don't give up.
 
Develop a battle plan for overcoming obstacles and staying focused on your goals.
 
Surround yourself with supportive people, including prayer warriors and mentors.
 
Get involved in a local church community to find like-minded individuals and support.
 
Use worship music as part of your battle plan for encouragement and motivation.
 
Don't be afraid to invest money in your dreams, even when it seems challenging.
 
Be willing to spend money to make money and understand the value of investing in your goals.
 
Remember that if you aren't willing to invest in your dream, it's unreasonable to expect others to do so.
 
 
 Also, remember it is important to Circle the Wagon and be proactive as you start walking these big dreams out. I have a great freebie that will help you assess and start preparing ahead of time for the resistance and chaos that could come when you start living fully for God.
